There is no bar attached to the restaurant and one enters directly into a very limited waiting area, which must get crowded at peak times. He even managed to find a bottle of a rarely offered Italian digestif. Stephen was an outstanding and knowledgeable server demonstrating a level of professionalism infrequently seen in today's so called 'fine dining' establishments. The bias of the selection of the offering was disappointing given the elegance of the restaurant. One quibble was the wine list which had an exceptionally broad and deep selection of California wines, mostly priced at levels acceptable to few people, and very limited and unexceptional offerings of French, Italian, Australian and South American wines. Her petite filet and my prime rib were both succulent and cooked essentially to order. although not served in the classic dish, was a great taste experience. could not say enough good things about the cool, firm sweetness of the tomato salad and my onion soup. At least 'Very Goods' if not 'Excellents.' My wife. We would have expected that the combination of outstanding food selection, preparation and presentation, coupled with outstanding service, would have merited more attention. We were surprised to find that this elegant restaurant had so few reviews. Hotels near (PSP) Palm Springs Municipal Airport.
