The food was excellent the ambience was excellent as far as the noise level, there was a crying baby that one of the parents should have taken out of the restaurant. Other than that it was fine. The food was delicious and well worth the $!!!!.

At night from our table inside, there really wasn’t a view. The food is average at best. You’ll be disappointed with the duck. The food comes out so fast it’s obviously just warmed up. I would bet the views during the day are great. And maybe just stick to the appetizers or a sandwich.

From our friendly and accommodating hostess, to our server and support staff, this was a lovely lunch at the top of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Talk about a view! The mushroom ravioli was divine, and the appetizer hummus and olive tapenade was delicious. And the specialty cocktails? Perfection! A beautiful place to have a lovely lunch at almost 9000 feet elevation! The views are as delicious as the food! We will definitely be back on our next visit and hope to have our same server and hostess.

The views from this restaurant are amazing. Tables are positioned so everyone can enjoy the view. Weather was clear to see for miles. We shared a mixed greens and strawberry salad and the chicken sandwich. Highly recommend the salad. Sandwich was good and fries were great. Would probably order different sandwich if I returned. Overall great experience and felt prices were reasonable.
