Restaurants near Avalon Hotel Palm Springs

We came all the way in from Rancho Mirage ... sort of a standing joke because as we get older a 20 minutes car ride is excessive lol. The restaurant was very nice inside. the decor was urban chic and when you walked in they have a small 4 seat bar and a large room off to the right side. they also have a nice patio for outdoor dinning. The place was busy and we say right away. cocktails we had the blood orange cocktail and a German beer. Food wise we had the meatballs and the escargot both excellent. entrees we all had Schnitzel which was the best Ive had. Our server was friendly and responsive with our drinks and food. This is definitely a place to try!

Had the homemade lasagna. Absolutely the best sauce I have ever tasted, I wanted to lick the bowl.

Great service. Interesting venue and history. Theatrical flaming preparations at table (steak Diane, bananas Foster, cherries jubilee). Great deviled eggs. Perfect for a celebration. Excellent wine list. Seafood comes only with beurre blanc (unless you ask for one of the steak sauces on the side).

Neat vibe and excellent food. They were super busy so wait was a little long g but the drinks were good so we didn’t mind. The people watching from the patio seating was great. Two of us had the chicken pot pie which was excellent. Creamy comfort food and the crust was flaky and perfect. It was huge and I’m on a diet so that wasn’t good because I couldn’t stop. My wife had the meatloaf which she really liked and I forgot what the last person in our party ordered but she had no complaints.

Four of us went for dinner on Christmas Eve, the first night of a holiday menu running from then until New Year's Eve. The food was excellent, the server welcoming and efficient, and the ambience lovely. The gruff old proprietor added charming presence and one hot appetizer which was late did not in any way detract from the overall experience and instead just sort of melded into the hustle and bustle of the festive holiday feel of it all. Big thumbs up!
