A chic and sophisticated décor provides the setting for our distinctive "world cuisine", a provocative mix of zesty influences that creates a delightful dining experience in Palm Springs, California. Plush high-backed semicircular banquettes surround our dining room and offer comfortable and private seating. The cuisine has a light, exotic feel with an emphasis on Pacific Rim specialties, from Chilean Sea Bass baked in Banana Leaves or Kahlua-Barbecued Pork Chops to all sorts of tasty tapas, salads, wood-fired pizzas, and desserts. The Coral Seas Lounge, a hip mid-century style bar is lined with sexy black leather bar-stools and is reminiscent of the upbeat lounges of old Palm Springs. It wraps around the dining room and leads outside to a lush, tropical, 2000 square foot dining patio where a variety of specialty cocktails and old-school favorites are mixed - an ideal place where friends gather and martinis are sipped under the starlit desert sky.

    The vibe is always good, the food is usually on point. The wait, even with an RSVP can be quite a lot. They could do a better job of managing those expectations.

    Service was excellent. Portions were very generous. Drinks were great although the price was higher than most other restaurants in the desert.

    it’s a lovely room outside and which was very nice and capable, but one dish came cold and need to be reheated and the baked potato was odd because I had horseradish on it which we didn’t notice which is our problem of course but we had to sign it back because it tasted bad the sake was OK The chocolate cake was really good so we like it but it’s a mixed bag.

    Great place. Our table location was a little closer to the door than we like but the place was packed so understandable. Food and service were great! Will definitely be back!

    once again, We had a very enjoyable evening at Tropicale. We had great service, comfortable seating and a variety of delicious dishes to enjoy. They always make us feel welcome and get us out in time for the show we plan to attend.

    Bland, over priced food. $30 for a pasta special which had a single small sausage with noodles and butter. Server was rushed and didn’t even check on us. She told us it wasn’t meant to be her table and made it clear she wasn’t too pleased about handling it. Would never go back. Not like they care as it was busy and loud.
