    Jaime was our waiter, and he was absolutely the BEST. Mom and I loved having the option of a half portion; we are elderly and just can't eat very much anymore. This option was perfect for us. Mom has a terrible time with her hearing aids when the restaurant is noisy. Our seating time was ideal; and it was really nice and quiet. Perfect evening for us.

    Dining on the outside elevated patio above El Paseo, especially at sunset, is always a treat. The service and food are top rate/delicious. I highly recommend the Sea Bass Ceviche, Pacific Salad, and all the seafood. Really everything on the menu is delicious. For special occasion, request seating in one of the private cabanas on the patio.

    They appeared to be short handed- understaffed! Service was very slow- took forever just to get our order taken. Then it took forever to receive our salads! Waitress was nice but waiting on way too many tables at once

    We love sitting outside on the patio even in 110°! They have misters making it very comfortable. Beautiful view of the desert. Great service and the food is fantastic. Also have a reasonably priced wine list. Can't wait for our next trip to the desert!

    The seared ahi was not sushi grade and therefore chewy. Also, the flavor was bland and it was very cold. Would not order again.
