   Great food. Outdoor space was open and perfect for our needs. Temperatures outside were good with misters. Service was quick, precise and professional.

   You have to love a consistently good restaurant in food and service. Chef Tony and the entire Tropicale team are gracious, friendly, and creative with their dishes. Whether it's Spaghetti and Meatballs, Pizza, Fish, or Vegetarian, they have you covered.

   Our favorite of PS! If you are looking for the best service and food that’s so flavorful with an updated nod to tiki bar food, this is your place. The outdoor space has a mister system, you’d never know your in 105 degree weather sitting outdoors. Brunch and Happy Hour are full of energy and yet, the level of service remains equally as great as if you are having dinner in the main room. Do not pass this place up.

   Food was good. Service was not. We were not even halfway through our appetizers when our entrees were plopped down on the table. Not the experience of the past.

    We dined at Tropicale to celebrate the sale of our house and we brought in a special bottle of wine our realtor gave us as a gift. We had to pay a rather high corkage fee, but the amazing dinner and apps/cocktails made it all worth it. We had the poke on taro root chip to start and the tomahawk pork chop and the spaghetti and meatballs for main course. And lots of leftovers! Everything is always fresh, delicious and consistent every time. This is a solid restaurant you can always feel confident will not disappoint when you refer a friend or as your “go-to” for that special occasion.

    A good Palm Springs staple, especially if you want to enjoy some mid century modern ambience. The food is very good, a little pricey, and the cocktails are excellent. A great place to go with friends especially folks visiting from out of town.

    I love tropicale! It has a good retro vibe. Our server was a little short and I think a little impatient with us so that's not what you want when you go out to eat. Maybe she was having a bad day and I understand that so it's ok. I just think when you work in service, you need to have the ability to do your job while you are at work and let life frustrations out elsewhere in a healthy way. Or it could just be how she is. I also understand that everyone is struggling to get employees, let alone quality. Everyone else was receptive and cordial. I will keep coming back for sure. I'd say it's one of my favorite restaurants!

    Tropicale is always on the top of our list of best restaurants in the valley. Delicious food, great drinks, beautiful ambiance and always an upbeat lively atmosphere. The staff are always friendly and happy. Ranz and Tony (the owners) have created the most successful business by their warm greetings and treating everyone with respect.
