I have been to this restaurant many times and I like the food a lot but we both have a Cobb salad and no drinks and it was with tip $68. I had arranged for a small birthday cake and it was not delivered and they ended up giving us a flan. The person I’m with was lactose intolerant so it wasn’t the best.

Was very unimpressed— this place used to be so so good!!! Now it was a bunch of raw food on a plate. Very much “assembled” pre made dishes rather than cooking meals and dishes. Cocktails were great. Good not so much. Came for dinner.

GREAt FOOD! GREAT SERVICE! GREAT VIBE! 3 POOLS! CHILL! GREAT DRINKS! LOVE IT!

Decided to have lunch here even though we weren't staying at the hotel. We love Norma's at the Parker PS, and since this hotel claims to have a similar mid-century vibe, we thought we'd check it out. We should've just gone to Norma's. The host was not the friendliest, to start with. We asked for a mask because my spouse had forgotten his, and it's always nice to have one just in case. The host said she didn't have one and didn't even bother to check with the bar or the front desk (where we eventually were able to get one). The food was good, but definitely priced on the high side. Again, we could've gotten better quality food for pretty much the same prices and a better experience at Norma's or elsewhere. Our server was the best part of the lunch: she was friendly and made us feel welcome. Unless you're at this hotel and don't want to leave because you're poolside, I'd skip Chi Chi.

Our waiter was excellent. He had great food and drink recommendations!

We enjoyed a nice dinner upon arriving in Palm Springs for vacation. It was a week night so it was great because it wasn’t crowded. This also helped with the overall noise levels! Service was on-point! And the food was great.

Disappointing, to say the least. Repulsive is more accurate.We arrived for brunch on Sunday at a half-empty restaurant and pool area. We were told there was no space available at the tables by Michelle ("the manager"). She said they were all reserved and flippantly sat us at the bar (a group of 5). After about 15 minutes, the bartender asked if we'd like a beverage and something to eat.As we were talking to ourselves and losing track of time, I heard a commotion in the kitchen, about 10 feet from my seat. As I hear yelling and screaming, I see the chef walk out of the kitchen and the restaurant. The woman screaming was the manager, Michelle, who seated us.Keeping to our conversation, we wondered where the food was. It was about an hour at this point. The bartender comes over and tells us that the chef just quit on the spot and that the food order will take longer than expected. Soon after, the front desk manager came to apologize, tried to explain the situation, and offered us two complimentary cocktails for a group of 5. We were told our food would be up shortly.It wasn't.We were approaching an hour and forty-five minutes of waiting for our food. Michelle never came out of the kitchen as voices grew louder, with the staff's demeanor changed. By this time, the restaurant was almost empty. We picked up our things and walked out on the verge of losing our wits.No one tried to appease the situation or take ownership of their mismanagement. The horrible treatment of staff in front of customers is unacceptable in any condition, especially here.Moral of the story: treat your staff and customers with the respect they deserve. Leave your attitude at home.

Menu is definitely more of an evening poolside selection than dinner time. Drinks were fantastic - the bartender was a delight—so kind and attentive - makes a mean Manhattan ! Salads were good. We ordered the 2 warm chocolate chip cookies for dessert and they tasted like stale microwaved Costco cookies - ate 2 bites and sent it back. Overall this is an ok option but we prob wouldn’t prioritize returning.

We went to celebrate a birthday and could not have asked for better service. The server was attentive and kind, the food was incredible and the drinks were great. Outdoors in the shade with a cool breeze was a perfect way to dine
