We always go to the Peaks for lunch, as it's a comparatively good value (some of the best hamburgers in the Coachella Valley, but be sure to tell your server your desired level of doneness - we prefer "very rare"). Gina L. assisted us, and her attention and being simply delightful considerably added to our favorable experience. We always use Open Table (and request a "view table," though most tables have good views), which is a must for the busiest times. As locals, we frequently have a "tram adventure," and most of the time that we do, we dine at the Peaks and order hamburgers! What fun!
