   Enjoyed our evening on the deck, with the sunset. We had to ask for the Sunset menu Ed even though our reservation we 1/2 hour before it’s ending.

   We had an amazing experience for brunch. The price was good, the food was yummy, the mimosas were delicious, and the view was unbeatable. The host made our day. Thanks for a great experience, we will be back!

   We requested separate checks and, even though the ordering software provided for it, our waiter didn't know how to do it so paying for our meals was unpleasant. Fish and chips was just shy of soggy.

   Escena Grill is one of the best Sunday Brunch spots in Palm Springs if no the entire valley.

    We sat outside on a beautiful Friday afternoon, watching storm clouds over the mountains. We had sandwiches & fish & chips, which we all excellent— especially the house chips & sauce. The meal and awesome view were a picture-perfect Palm Springs afternoon. This was our tenth visit here for lunch. Always enjoyable for out-of-town guests.

    Service was fair, not great. Turkey sandwich was disappointing with one thin slice of deli turkey, a small mound of avocado and a huge amount of bitter lettuce.

    This is the first time in years that I was so disappointed. The chips were stale, bacon flimsy, asked for crispy. Our waiter though was fantastic and understanding. We will be back though!

    We had lunch here once and the food was very good and the view was great. So we decided to try it for dinner. There was no view at night, the service was very good, but the food was not as good as at lunch.

    Disappointed. View and menu looked good. Food ended up being very unsophisticated. Calamari was excellent, despite portion being small. Ribeye was a very bad cut of beef. Chicken schnitzel was dry and nothing special. Drinks were mediocre. And the tiramisu desert was a sugar bomb squirted with Hersheys syrup. The ambiance could be fine dining but the reality is it’s more like a canteen. What a shame. It was a birthday dinner, noted in opentable, but nothing was done or acknowledged by the restaurant. $186 for 2 ppl, with a bottle of wine and 1 drink each. We won’t be hurrying back.

    The food was very basic. When I ordered, I thought maybe I'd change to something else and the waiter said I couldn't change because he had just sent the order in. They have this terminal, where he entered the entire order, - starters and entrees and the kitchen starts on it right away. Well I wasn't half way through my starter salad when the entrees came out. The waiter wanted to take my salad away so they could put the plate down. I told them to put it on the side. The food was OK. I came because of the vegan options, the vegetable entree seemed overpriced for just some sautéed or roasted veggies, the cauliflower was 'off' it had been sitting for too long and took on a fermented flavour. My husband enjoyed his schnitzel.

    The lunchtime food at Escena Lounge & Grill is always good. There are excellent menu selections for any diner. The recent furniture upgrade is pleasant and comfortable. I always love the hamburger at Escena Grill. The meat is always fresh and cooked to order. The Escena chips are so special and delicious. The club sandwich is also delicious. The view over the golf course of the San Jacinto Mountains are spectacular! Dining alfresco on the patio makes the event even more incredible.

    Another wonderful lunch at Escena Grill. Even though it was too cold to eat outside, the views are still great from inside the main dining room. We liked their new furniture and the updated menu. We had the club sandwich and the new apple cheddar melt sandwich. Both were excellent. We love this place!

    Food was not very good … smoked salmon is sliced too thick. Eggs Benedict were not cooked according to request. Food came out way to quickly so thought it has been prepared way ahead of time and then reheated! Wait staff was fine. Ambiance is amazing.

    Hard to beat Escena's combination of outstanding views and great food. A must after a round of golf there or just for dinner if you are in Palm Springs and are looking for a great location.

    The most recent of several visits, always enjoyable and consistent service. I was sorry to see the smoked salmon has disappeared from the lunch menu but the Cobb Salad was very good. I was happy that my Bloody Mary was NOT festooned with too much fruit One of the staff kindly, and with humor, took the required photos. A nice afternoon all round.

    The Escena Clubhouse restaurant has had many many ups and downs, dictated by changes in management and chefs, but more ups than downs. Our 4 meals were all different from each other and excellent, plus nicely presented. New dining tables and chairs sets a light and casual tone, and the views cannot be beat.

    Our dining experience was pretty good. Service was also very good. Our guests had the chicken which is still very good, my partner the beef and I had the pork chop. The chop could have been cooked a bit less for my taste. Dessert was very good. The beverages were prepare well. Do not like maraschino cherries in my Manhattan. They need to use Luxardo cherries. So much better...
