Escena Lounge & GrillWonderful Country Club DiningIt's like being a member of a an upscale country club. But you don't have to join or really be a member. The views from the patio are worth the drive for lunch. The food is wonderful and servired in large portions. We often share a lunch item. It's one the the best dining options "with views" of the mountains in Palm Springs.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMLove this place!Great food, great service, great view! Escena is always a good option!5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMThey seem to take care ofThey seem to take care of an early problem, both service and food were very, very good.

I'll come back.5/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat First Time VisitThis was our first time dining at Escena. The food was outstanding and the service was great! We will definitely return on our next trip to Palm Springs.5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMEscape for lunchOut fo the office, around the corner and there it is - an beautiful outside patio area that faces away from the sun so it stays cool on the hot days and has the most magnificent view of the mountains and the beautiful golf course. The food is fantastic and there are lots of good things to choose from on the menu. I can't wait to keep coming back and trying new things. It's my new favorite place!5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMTotal Class in the Desert!This place is total class from the minute you drive up to the front portico to the entry to the bar to the cool jazz combo ro the beautiful dining terrace to the classic food. It is like your dining at a posh county club.
Everything was perfect!5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat FindTook my wife there for her birthday on a Wed night, off season so not crowded or busy. It was very windy so we elected to eat inside, outside seating looked very tempting, saved for next visit. Service from Les superb! Even though it was not crowded I can see where the nose level could be an issue, there were a couple of tables relatively near us and although they were not overly loud it would have been easy to be part of their conversation. The view of the golf course was beautiful and as it got dark the lighting was eye candy. We asked to see the breakfast and lunch menus and found them to be as good as the dinner menu. Although we did not visit the bar, it appeared to be a great atmosphere to sit and enjoy a drink. 2nd visit a must!!!5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful gemThis is a fabulous restaurant, with wonderful food at very reasonable prices. We hope to eat there often.5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMBirthday Lunch3 important traits for locals, tourists and especially business lunch impressions.
1) Good food / presentation for reasonable price
2) Beautiful view / relaxing, calm atmosphere / easy to have a nice conversation
3) Good service
I brought my 82 old aunt for the view / my financial adviser + friends for the ambience / food. All left w/ positive impression.
However my financial advisor, who live is PS wasn't aware of Encena. It might be in your best interest to invite prominent
Small business for a,"sample" lunch.....a great place to entertain clients. Hotels court travel agents....you should court local
Investment companies who need a nice venue like yours. Perhaps local tours who end w/ a lunch there......5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMMore Please!The food is always great. The service is outstanding and you can not beat the view!
I love siting in the patio and looking at the beautiful view and seeing the planes land and take off.....without the noise.

Food delicious, scenic view magnificent (as if golf course and mountains aren't enough, you also get to watch planes taking off from P.S. Airport), and best of all: friendly, efficient service. Casual, comfortable atmosphere. The rest of our party was 40 minutes late. Wait staff couldn't have been more hang-loose and cool about it, even making jokes about joining us if our group didn't show. Tournedos of beef fabulous, best asparagus I've ever had.
Hidden gem. I can hardly wait to go back.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMThis is a great place.What a pleasant surprise today was. Even with the busy holiday, we were well received and treated beautifully.
