    The food was horrible. We asked for medium steak and it was rare at the most. The chicken was dry. You couldn’t even cut it and they forgot half of my meal. They were very slow with service and then when we would ask for something two people would show up with the same thing.  It’s such a bummer because we were really looking forward to this dinner and it was overpriced and gross.

    We ordered pasta, salmon and 1/2 order of Sugar Spiced salmon. We ate in the bar area to watch basketball game. The waiter was great! Only one comment on 1/2 portion of salmon (I have had it in the past). It was more like 1/4 size. Very little mashed potatoes and salmon the green beans were okay, I like to have the 1/2 size meal, but it was too small of a portion.

    La Quinta Cliffhouse was recommended to us by a local resident. As this was our fourth time to Palm Springs area, we decided to try it out. The ambience is the best. Our food was good but not something to brag about. Service was great. Overall, a nice experience.
