    SO happy we stumbled into Azucar - everyone made us feel incredibly welcomed! We had 3 dogs with us and they were incredibly accommodating. The food was good but the drinks were outstanding. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and the great level of service they offer.

    Azucar never disappoints plus I accidentally left my sunglasses and when I called the next day they had them. I love that the staff found the sunglasses and gave them to a manager for safe keeping.

    Had a reservation and came 8 mins early just to wait 40 mins to be sat. What’s the point of making a reservation almost 2 weeks in advance and not being sat at table just to wait. Was told I could eat at the bar Manager never even came by when asked to speak to him because he’s a coward

    I had heard a lot of good things about Azucar, so I chose it for a recent date night with my husband. It definitely lived up to its good reputation. We were seated on the Sugar High rooftop terrace. At first I was a little concerned because it was a pretty hot night, but fortunately they had misters. The ambience was serene, boho chic, and stylish with a diverse crowd. It was a very romantic evening under the night sky. The drinks were beautiful and refreshing. We loved all the food. We will definitely be back.

    Came in with only 1 party of 4 ahead of us. The whole place was empty. Order was taken, people started to pour in, and 35 min in, no food. Others were getting their food before us. Food came and my steak was as rare as can be. I had ordered it Med. My friends Med and she had ordered well done. Order was taken back and another 30 min went by. By then I was over it. Food came back and I didn’t eat it. Food should have been free by then. No excuses.

    This place was delicious! Wow. Definitely a hidden gem. I would say it’s a place where you splurge yourself, the price of the food is around $40-$50 for a plate and drinks around $18. However it’s worth it! So drinks are amazing!!!!!!!! It was a group of three and we all ordered different food and drinks and were extremely satisfied. We met the manager and we was as sweet as the staff there. I will be coming back when I visit Palm Springs again.

    While the service was friendly and good the food was a huge disappointment. It was bland and not cooked well. Prices much too high for less than average food. It’s too bad because we had a good experience there a few years ago. Will not be back. We would recommend the hotel but not the restaurant .

    First and foremost I came here to celebrate my mothers birthday. it was a mother and daughter mini getaway to Ps. This was my second visit to Azucar and let me tell you it was HORRIBLE! everything went downhill before the food even arrived. I placed my order, and I asked my mom to take a picture of me by the restroom near where the thick ropes hanging from above the ceiling are located, the host with black hair and tattoos all over her legs wearing a black outfit with black hair had the AUDACITY to grab my moms shoulder and viciously say can you move there are people trying to get through. MIND you we both saw that but the picture literally took a split second, the people could have waited, but this host working the front check in area grabbed my moms shoulder. my mom had to bite her tongue and not say anything because she didn’t wanna ruin her birthday night. I was so livid how can someone working at a classy restaurant be so rude!!!!! God it’s been 1 week and i still can’t get over this. so upsetting, mad at myself for not getting her name, but i am going to take it to management… She was working sunday night on the 23rd of July.. I will NEVER visit here again… she ruined the whole night i just wanted to leave, sadly i already pre ordered our food, anyway terrible service here!
