    Excellent food and service. Their wine availability is limited. We tried to order 5- 6 different wines that were on wine list and they were out. Our waiter was astute enough to offer to have sommelier come over. He was able to find a wine that we were happy with.

    Enjoyed our evening, sharing food experience brought back fond family memories. Our selections were great! Our dining partners at the next table were very nice, it could have been awkward as the tables were very close. Look forward to our next visit…

    Hidden Gem Tucked away in Indio town… this speak easy is a welcome change of pace from outer Palm Springs restaurants. Very cool vibe. Friendly wait staff. We sat at the bar and had a great meal. The crispy artichoke is a must. I had a delicious Old Fashioned. Nice choices of wines by the glass too. I would go back

    Our server, Shannon, was quite surly. We had an issue when we first arrived and she never got over it. The food was outstanding and they seem to rest on those laurels. In my reservation I asked for a table where the four of us sit across from each other instead of a long booth where it makes it impossible for a group to hear each other. They obviously did not see the note or bother to respect the request.

    The food was fantastic and the ambiance was even better. The most “speak easy” feel I have ever experienced. And don’t miss the bathrooms. Classic.
