    Nice place to have dinner. Noisy and hard to have a conversation. Service was very good and our server was excellent.

    As always, a wonderful dinner. My mother’s favorite place when she visits. I had the special sole dinner with the lemon caper sauce - excellent. My mother had the swordfish and she raved about it.

    Food was very good and the service excellent. But, the noise was too loud we could barely hold a conversation. Probably won’t come back because of the loud talking & laughing around the bar. The canned music was at a decent level but between that and the loud noise from the bar it made the dinner unpleasant.

    I ordered the fried chicken dinner (Mon & Tue only). There are 3 HUGE pieces, drumstick, breast and thigh. All deliciously tender and deep fried served with mash potatoes and gravy so savory, I asked for extra. And almost forgot, cole slaw and green beans. So much food, I was very full after finishing the breast and took the rest home. Before dinner, we shared a Caesar salad and husband had a burger. We both enjoyed our dinner very much, thank you Grill on Main!

    The food was excellent. It was Saturday night, quite busy and we had to wait a while for a table despite the reservation. The staff was very gracious. Since it was so busy It was also loud as we were seated by the bar.

    Everything was real good. We were seated in a large rear room which was cooler and quieter then the front part. The bar area is load and sometimes makes it hard to converse. The food was very good and the service was awesome.

    We have eaten here many times and are never disappointed. However, the current menu used at the restaurant is a little different than the one on their website. So just use the website to get an idea.

    Our server, Alicia, was fantastic and checked in frequently. A guest received a room temperature Chardonnay which our guest returned for an ice cold martini. The prime rib and fish & chips were outstanding. Another guest had the fish special with pasta and enjoyed their meal. The last guest had the a salad. The restaurant tends to be very loud, which can be difficult to hear your dinner guests.

    We sat inside and it was comfortable considering it was 108 degrees outside. There is an outdoor (semi enclosed patio) with misters. The food was delicious (generous portion of prime rib, excellent green beans and the biggest baked potato I have seen on a plate; my husband ate the meatloaf and that was very tasty). Prices commensurate with the Palm Springs general area. The service was very good. Many people were ordering appetizers that looked really good. Would definitely eat there again

    The food was fantastic and plenty of it for the price. We were on the patio and it was very comfortable. We had excellent service and it was not hurried or rushed. I had the summer salad with salmon. It was enough for 2! The salmon was cooked perfectly and the salad was delicious with dates and strawberries and a nice vinaigrette dressing. My hubby had the burger which he said was fantastic! All in all a great experience.

    Arrived 30 minutes earlier for our reservation. Opted to sit outside, which the misters were nearby, yet the staff positioned an umbrella near us. We ordered an appetizer, yet it didn’t arrive; ordered dinners ,of which the meal La were good. I had the shrimp with pasta and pesto, a bit too oily. Husband had a salad and the tuna on the appetizer, daughter and fiancé ordered salads, which were very good. We ordered two orders of the cheese bread (2 pieces per order) of which the first arrived while we almost finished our meal. The second never came. The waitress apologized.

    We sat on the patio and it wasn't noisy. However, when I walked inside it was very noisy. The service was very slow. There were four of us and three meals were very good. My husband ordered ribs and they were cold. The coleslaw wasn't very good and the french fries were limp. We might try it again.
