   Lovely experience. They were able to maneuver around my many food allergies and served me a fantastic roasted duck. I highly recommend!

   Fantastic place! We went for lunch and were very pleasantly surprised by the whole champagne/menu-experience. We came all the way from LA, and it's hard to find better in terms of price/quality. This is a gem compared to other high-end places in Palm Springs. I would come back in a heartbeat!

   The choices & quality of food is not as good as it was before the restaurant was sold 2 years ago. They have added lots of caviar dishes and fewer other appetizes. We have been coming here for the past 20 years over Memorial Day weekend and last year & this week the decreased food choices have discouraged us. We will not return next year.

   Going to upscale restaurantes in resort towns like Palm Springs can be big risk. If you travel a lot and spring for “fine dining experiences” then you know what I’m talking about. This place is not that. Everyone from the host, to the servers to the chef and even the busers are doing their absolute best to make you feel not just attended to, but welcomed in the space. The food was thoughtful, delicious and absolutely worth the price. there was not a single dish that didn’t require intricate prep and execution in order to live up to the expectation. Came here on a romantic date with my spouse and we were not disappointed.

   Overall very good dining experience but the food does not deliver compared to the price point. We really liked the escargot but the mains were a bit disappointing: both the lamb and the fish were cooked correctly but didn’t have too much flavor. Same for the desert - we had the creme brulee and the taste was unimpressive compared to other restaurants. 5* for the service and ambience (gorgeous patio).

   Amazing Sunday brunch. The food was fantastic - beautifully presented, carefully prepared & seasoned, appropriate portions. Ambience romantic, classy casual yet also welcoming and family friendly. Breezy rotating air conditioning with shady trees and chirping birds as well. Service top notch. Staff noticed things like tippy table and empty glasses and took care for our experience without hesitation. As restaurant got busier they were no less attentive. We will definitely be back for dinner, heard it’s even more romantic with twinkle lights in the trees!

    Everything was perfect last night as far as the food, beverage, and atmosphere. Cruz was fantastic! We loved the dinner and it's a lovely venue for a special occasion, which this was. One thing happened at the end of dinner which totally put a damper on the experience. Our waiter, who had been great until this happened, had rattled off the special appetizers and entrees at the beginning of the evening without sharing any prices. I asked about a particular appetizer, and he quoted me $18. When I perused the bill, I noted I had been charged $25 for that item. I mentioned it and his response was "they must have changed the price." He handed me back the tablet without adjusting the price. It's general principle--not the $7. I asked if he was going to make an adjustment and he responded, "no, that's the price." He represents the establishment and a customer should be able to rely on the information he shares. Who's to say I would have ordered that item at that price. I've never seen such an unprofessional action at such an elegant, upscale restaurant small as it was monetarily. I adjusted the tip downward a bit, but was still left with a bad taste. Lastly, I found a lovely bottle on page two (wines by the glass) but there are very few choices under $100. Personally with about a 15 page wine list, I think you could add some more wines in the $50-$80 range. We spent over $350 and enjoyed every cent of it, but we'd have been closer to $500 with a typical bottle on your list.

    We dined here twice in one week. Both times were exceptional. On the first visit we made new friends of our server Lane and the manager, Olivier. On the second visit they remembered us and were very kind, as was the bartender Carlos, and the hostess, who must be related to either the French manager or the chef. We both had specials of the night, sweetbreads, duck (twice, two different preparations). They were artfully presented, ingredients were fresh and flavorful, and the portions were more than ample. I wish I lived nearby and could go every week. It is real French food, with a fantastic wine list. Can not wait to return!!!! Merci!

    The food and service here is impeccable. From Marilyn at the front desk who made us feel like family, to our servers Raymond & Linda, everything was indeed perfect. We brought our small dog Cosimo along who was welcomed as well. The patio is well kept and fully romantic. We splurged on the Kolikof Golden Ossetra 000 caviar which was served in a most elegant way. The classic vichyssoise soup was the best that I can remember ever enjoying. I almost hesitate to state how much we loved our dinner here for fear it will not be published thinking I'm somehow related to this restaurant. Hardly, it was our first time there. The sole & lobster entrees were each cooked to perfection. The soufflé and grappa were a faultness completion to a great evening there. We will be back!

    Great evening, from Olivier greeting us to the fabulous chef - who is a fixture there and the real deal - coming out to see how I liked the quail/date appetizer. Our waiter, Chad, I think, served it all up with good advice and a great tableside manner. Low key perfection.

    We celebrated a very special birthday at Le Vallauris. One of our friends ordered the rack of lamb medium rare and it came "well done". He didn't want to send it back so he just ended up picking at it since it was not prepared as requested. This was very disappointing for this restaurant. Fortunately, the rest of us enjoyed our meals. Our waiter did not do a good job of "reading the body language" of our table and was very intrusive rather than providing attentive service. He clearly wanted us to move along throughout our entire dining experience.
