Came here with a group of 7 and got a reservation on a busy weekend.
Good:
- The food portions here are huge! And happy hour goes until 7.
- I liked the fried calamari and the pizza we got from the happy hour menu, the firecracker shrimp was so tasty too!
- The main entree I got was the a pasta, and it was great -the ragu was fresh and it was chewy
- The desserts were tasty and I liked the baked Alaska a lot as well as the huge huge chocolate pie slice we got
Bad:
- Pretty expensive overall, about $100pp
- Super dim inside, so a little hard to see each other
- Takes some time to flag down waiters
- Didn't feel incredibly upscale, though it had a price tag associated with it
Overall this place was fun for a one time hangout, but I didn't think it was super unique or special.

If u know, u know !!! Understated exterior, exciting interior. I have over 6m views of my photos & reviews as a Google guide & it's not often I can give out 5 stars because not every category can usually meet 5, but, The Tropicale Palm Springs over performaned, on this night anyway. The place was hopping-slammed-busy & the staff didn't miss a mark on giving an excellent experience. First class table service, delicious food, quality drinks at fair prices all within a beautiful lounging atmosphere. The later the night goes on, the more energy there is. Comfortable inside seating, glamorous lighting, choice vibe music, chill bar, huge patio.

PLEASE READ for the realest review 🙏🏻
We came here because on the Tropicale website, it says, "Palm Springs fine dining at its best!"
I am basing my review on a fine dining restaurant .... let me tell you, it was FAR from a fine dining experience 😭
I wanted so bad to have a good brunch, but this place really let us down.
Upon arrival, the outside has a cute retro feel of when PS really started to grow. We were greeted with smiles by amazing hosts! We were seated right away, and the atmosphere was relaxing. Our server came over almost immediately and was kind. We couldn't decide what we wanted, so we took some extra time just chatting and looking over the menu. They even kindly brought coffee cake for us! Everyone was so friendly with us and our baby! :)
We ended up deciding on the chicken and waffles and chilequilles (pictured)
The food came out so fast!
Tasting the food is where it took a turn for the worse. The chicken and waffles were very confusing, overcooked, and covered in chicken fat 🤢 the jalapeño waffles were ok - a little soggy, which was weird, but overall, ok. It was really weird that they came with country gravy, what looked like canned pie filling (super floppy and soggy) cinnamon apples, and roasted jalapeños on top. I never thought I'd see country gravy and pie filling in the same dish 😅
One piece of chicken was overcooked (the small, dark one on the left of the photo) and the other piece of chicken made me lose my appetite entirely. I have NEVER had chicken like that before. There was so much fat around the whole piece of chicken, it was inedible. I tried eating different parts of that big chunk of chicken, unfortunately, the whole piece was ruined.
I reluctantly mentioned it to the waiter after he asked how everything was. He told the manager who came over quickly. But to my surprise, she did not offer a discount or to take it off the check. She did offer another piece of chicken, but at that point, I was not hungry, and my partner was done.
The chilequilles were ok: the tortilla chips were clumped together with beans.. no crispy pieces at all - I would not order again.
I do hate to say it, but overall, probably wouldn't go back again 😕

We first heard about this place at another restaurant where we knew someone. It was a late dinner but the place was still packed. People were everywhere. We didn’t have reservations but still got a seat right away. As soon as we were seated, we saw one of the bartenders, Albina, that we knew from the prior restaurant we were at the day before. The place is very intimate and sexy in my opinion. The waitress came over very fast, took our orders, margaritas and pizza which came out very fast. The margaritas were strong but not overly strong with the alcohol taste. I got a Paloma and my wife got a Cadillac margaritas. The pizzas came out next and man when I say this was possibly the best pizza I’ve ever had. You may be wondering why get pizza at this place where the options were vast. We weren’t that hungry so we shared it. Needless to say if this pizza is any indication on what the rest of the food taste like, you won’t be disappointed at all. I would definitely recommend going to this place. The dress code is sexy but you can wear your Palm Springs garb if you won’t to but I would dress like the restaurant vibe is. Sexy!

Visited Palms Springs for a weekend getaway and tried a few different places. Went here for the style/vibe. We sat outside and I couldn't help but be happy the whole time. Nice setting, nice people. Food and drinks were good, but probably a little pricy for the quality. Not to say the food wasn't good, it was. Would be happy to visit again and try some other stuff. But, you're really coming here for the atmosphere. Good for larger groups too. Had the Salmon and Pupu Platter.
