We live in Escena and go to both the Brunch and dinner both. Normally we have Jesus, who is terrific, but this time we had an older waiter who was entirely impersonal and inattentive. The food was god as always, but this waiter was really quite terrible.

Beautiful location, friendly service and food was very good. My only issue is the price of the hot drinks seem disproportionally high, I can’t remember seeing a cappuccino for $7 anywhere else.

We waited so long to fly over and enjoy ourselves here. We came out and drove over in pre storm conditions only to find the restaurant was closed for renovations. All the confirmations emails to make sure we would be there meant nothing. I am really annoyed. We stood out the front of the venue like fools. All this automation with emails and not one saying the venue was closed, bloody disgrace.

If you are looking for a quiet solid meal in a beautiful setting Escena Lounge and Grill is always a good choice. The patio is a nice choice when not too hot. When friends are vising from out of town this is one of the places, I like to take people to help them understand the Palm Springs Lifestyle. It's a cool modern take on the clubhouse of yesteryear.

The restaurant views were amazing. Really enjoyed having lunch and looking out the big windows to such beautiful scenery. The food was delicious, had the burger and fries and friend had the salmon plate and commented on how much salmon they gave her compared to other places. The service was excellent. Our server was very kind, honest and attentive.

Not crowded at all. Unfortunately, when breakfast arrived, food was cold, especially the eggs. The one entree, toast with fruit, was a joke. It looked like they pulled out the hot dog and threw on some bland cream cheese and a few berries. Overall, disappointing.

Beautiful restaurant with lovely outdoor seating overlooking a pretty golf course. Service was attentive and friendly. Salmon was dry and over cooked and rice was very undercooked. Nice wedge salad, very good crab cakes, very good ahi tuna and delicious s’mores dessert.

Last evening I met friends at Escena to try their Restaurant Week offering. I have always liked breakfast/lunch at Escena but increasingly read poor reports of dinner posted on Nextdoor. Our dinners were a great value, were delicious and a price point of $39 was unbeatable! Started with Traditional Blue Cheese Wedge. Delicious with just the right amount of blue. Next offering were 2 crab cakes that were delicious. The Entrée was described on the menu as 8oz filet served on a bed of mashed potatoes. I feel the filet was larger than 8oz and was prepared perfectly as rare. Service was spot on and always pleasant! Perhaps a new manager? Maybe, but the evening was GREAT and I will look forward to having dinner there again soon!

Although I've been out here full-time for 5 years, Escena was always one of those places I've said "gotta try it sometime." Well, that time was a few nights ago and it didn't disappoint. We walked in and the vibe was relaxed. A talented guitarist played in the background. The food and service were excellent and my martini was delicious. Plus, this place has some of the best views in the Valley. As we watched the sun set, I felt my pulse slow down too. After dinner we walked outside to capture the view one last time. The manager stuck his head out the door and thanked us for coming. Nice touch. We will definitely be returning.

The initial Server was very nice. I told them we were celebrating my birthday and they did nothing special. I ordered Eggs Benedict with hash browns and a side of fruit, it took three tries to get it right. The eggs looked like they do at a buffet and they were cold. The view is fantastic but I don't think we will be back.

After all the gloomy May Gray weather, my friend and I wanted to sit in the warm desert breezes and enjoy a relaxed lunch. This place was perfect. It's welcoming, unhurried, fun servers, and great views. The food was not the star here, but it wasn't what we were most concerned about anyway! I would easily drive the 2 hours again for that wonderful atmosphere.
