Best service, outstanding food, beautiful and fun ambiance.
We were a little disappointed that the tables were not spaced out a bit more. The service & food were wonderful.
Always great service, food and ambience!
I had the Cobb salad. It was plentiful and the ingredients were fresh. Since the covid outbreak, I have only dined or celebrated happy hour on the patio, but I felt safe while there and did not feel like anyone was compromising the safety of my health.
Tropicale is always festive and fun. Had an amazing hamburger. Great drinks!
We will miss you for three weeks. Stay strong!
Went for a birthday brunch on the patio. Food was fabulous!
Another awesome weekend brunch at Tropicale. As always, food and service were outstanding. Bummed that we have to wait 3 weeks before restaurants can reopen for outdoor dining. But as soon as we can, we'll be back for dining on their beautiful and safe patio.
Just such a great atmosphere!
We had brunch at The Tropical and it was a very pleasant, relaxing experience. The staff were courteous and professional and food delicious. I would highly recommend it.
Always great service, fun atmosphere, safe distancing, and great food!
This week we had the mai-mai tacos from the weekly special's menu. As always cooked to perfection.
You will never go wrong with a meal at Tropicale, brunch, dinner, Sunday Sushi everything is really delicious.
The staff from the min. you walk in are fabulous. Everyone is so nice and pleasant. We would highly recommend.
P.S. We are weekly diners !!! Best place in Palm Springs.
Still the best experience in town. The tight community feel with a perfect meal every single time. The only challenge is knowing what to try next.
I love bring new guests here as I know that they will not be disappointed . There is something on the menu for every craving so you can't go wrong.
Had a great time. Great drinks, great service, great food. They’ve done a nice job post-Covid with the patio. Warm and inviting
Cute place!
Consistently great service and food with iconic retro tropical setting.
Love this place.
Birthday celebration for my birthday and daughters birthday too ! Had such a great time .
Another outstanding Sunday brunch at Tropicale. The best brunch spot in Palm Springs. Perfect outdoor dining. Great food and outstanding service. Looking forward to returning.
Food was outstanding. Service was great! Would highly recommend!
Not a very covid friendly place to eat and we felt very uncomfortable with the lack of proper spacing between tables! The waiter provided great service and it was a nice atmosphere with lots of heaters.
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnocomplaints!
Great dinner!! We are weekly diners at Tropicale never a bad meal or service. The entire staff is wonderful from the owners down to the food runners always polite, quick, professional.
This week we had the Roadhouse Beef & Bacon Burger Ground Brisket - Grilled Onions, American Cheese & Secret Sauce Pick-a-Pepper Relish - Crispy Onion Rings and Crispy Southern-Fried Catfish Tomato, Andouille Sausage, Pepper & Okra Jambalaya - Rice Pilaf.
A perfect meal.
This is absolutely one of our favorite go to restaurants while visiting the desert. Each trip we always visit at least one maybe two times. The service is great, food always a treat. This time we had a family member concerned about the COVID exposure risk of dining at a restaurant. I relayed this to the staff a couple days prior to our visit and the delivered by seating us in a private nook area of the patio. It was a wonderful evening.
Very nice outside space, nice variety of appetizers and mains. Our server was very attentive and helpful. Had the excellent calamari, a salad and we each ordered a pizza. That along with a nice bottle of red wine made for a perfect evening.
Food and service were excellent
Lovely place but the food was too salty and there was no enough heaters.
2 Birthdays! Our fave place when in town, best restaurant and atmosphere in the CV
Birthday celebration
Only irritating thing was we stood at podium for 15 min as host talked to friend. It was like we were invisible.
Again getting back...SAFELY!!!...this time with friends back from Texas...and theyARE glad to be back!! Our favorite dinner setting...always great service, food and surroundings...just a second home...
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Palm Springs! The atmosphere, food and service is excellent! Yummy cocktails, too.
They have a wonderful outdoor seating area, with appropriate social distancing. It was a little cool and they had heaters to feel more comfortable dining outside.
Everything was great we always have good food and time
We went out for our anniversary and couldn't have been more delighted. All the things you want in a restaurant are here at Tropicale. Elegance, beauty, kind staff, delicious food, a flawless few hours. Thank you to our wait staff and chefs and to our head waiter Jesse for an extremely enjoyable evening.
Food arrived lukewarm. Turkey was tough and chewy, stuffing
was subpar with too many mushrooms and no sausage. Mashed potatoes were the only good item. Meal needed rolls. Dessert was very good. Salad was overdressed.
They are not doing well at social distancing the tables.
Great restaurant, would eat there again. Apps were a hit!
We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and can't wait to go back. It's pricey though, but a nice treat now and then.
Great dinner this week. We are weekly diners and never have a bad meal, we would highly recommend Tropicale for dinner, brunch and Sunday Sushi.
The service is outstanding all the staff is the best in town.
This week we had, Crispy Southern-Fried Cat Fish Tomato, Andouille Sausage, Pepper & Okra Jambalaya - Rice Pilaf and Paella a la Valenciana Saffron Rice with Organic Chicken, Spanish Sausage, Tomato & Peas Tiger Prawns, Sea Scallops & Baby Clams - Lobster Broth from the weekly specials menu.
Mojito and drink specials are a must do!! Food is great too!
