   Great breakfast with good friends from out of town. They lived the Palm Springs experience at Bongos. Service was friendly and helpful.

   Make sure if you request outside front seating parties of 2 or less they will try to force you in eating at a hi top table!

   The food was what you’d expect at a pool-side restaurant/bar at a hotel. There was very little car or effort put into plating and the service was ok. Our server was nice enough, but it just felt like we were the last people in the restaurant and everyone who works there just wanted to go home… except it was 7:30 on a Sunday during. Drinks were also sub-par. I know the neighborhood isn’t exactly “for kids”, but the hostess brought my kids water in these cute little flamingo floaty things (like a mini pool raft) and went through a whole explanation of how they’re just “babysitting” the flamingos and if we wanted to keep them it would be $6 a piece. If it’s not cost effective to just give it to the kids, then just don’t do it at all.

   Enjoyed a nice lunch on a Saturday afternoon at this restaurant. All three of us enjoyed our burgers and BLT's with terrific fries. The white sangria was also delicious. Service was very good.
