A word from Circa59 at Riviera Palm Springs

It’s all about cravings. Satisfying the ones you have, and creating sensory experiences that are totally unexpected. Fine dining is re-defined in Circa 59, taking the stage with eco-friendly fish, delicious premium cuts of meat, locally grown farm fresh produce and “sharables” you’ll have… difficulty, well, sharing. Sunday night is also wine lovers' night, with half off bottled wine from our wine list when dining in the restaurant. Tuesdays BYOW: Bring your own bottle of wine and we'll waive the corkage when dining. Joining the lounge entourage - The Starlite Lounge, sidebar, The Bikini Bar, and Deep End Pool Bar. Inside and out, your options are covered, and when you’d rather remain uncovered, there’s always guestroom dining.Continued

"Went on a Sunday night, so the scene was much calmer than what I would expect on a T/F/S. Gorgeous albeit a bit small and thin layout. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive. Food was very good with a few misses. Would certainly go back.

Unexpected bonus: Sunday is half price wine night."

"The hotel is very hip, with a funky vibe. We were very hopeful upon arrival at the restaurant based on the decor. When we arrived, the host seemed to have trouble seating us, despite our on-time reservation. The inside of the restaurant is small, with several additional tables in an area that is part inside/outside separated by a plastic divider. They tried to sit us next to the plastic divider with the outside temps 48 degrees. We really cold, so asked to be seated inside. We were told 30-45 minutes for a table by a rude hostess. Immediately after she said it, we saw a table get up to leave. Once sat, our waiter was very nice- though the service very slow. Our foot was very good. Based on the host/hostess and service, was disappointed."

"Beautiful outdoor setting with gas fire pits placed strategically around the tables. The menu is interesting, presentation of food is nice, the food itself is average. I still recommend at least doing appetizers and a cocktail there in the evening outside. The drink I had was amazing! Margarita with citrus and jalepeno, excellent!"

"My wife and I had a very mixed experience here. The food was excellent, although the service was spotty. While we were having a leisurely meal celebrating our 20th anniversary, at times it did feel like we had been forgotten. Then they ran out of the lamb shank and brought lamb chops without informing us. It took very long for them to come back and explain what happened after we pointed out the error. The manager did make it right as far as comping that meal. We chalked it up to a bad night and would be willing give them another try just because the food was so good."
