   Pros: Great table. Great view Really friendly server. The state fair prime burger was very good. The meat was exceptional, tender, and flavorful. Onion bacon aïoli was delicious. Would totally order again Cons: … … didn’t taste any of the hopscotch cheddar on the burger. … Had the Caesar salad. We like to try the Caesar salad at nicer more expensive restaurants. unfortunately, this one was bland. Asked for extra dressing on the side, but it didn’t help much because the dressing was bland. …  server was spread too thin or distracted… Seems the servers tables were all outside except for ours which was inside and out-of-the-way…, so it was consistently difficult to ask for what we needed So it was a gorgeous venue, stunning view, delicious burger, but everything else was mediocre so we left to have dessert somewhere else.

   Had a nice table outside on the patio overlooking the pool and Coachella Valley. Genny was a great server and was helpful in explaining the menu and answering our questions. It was a nice setting for our Christmas Eve lunch👍

   The waiter was very enthusiastic and the food was amazing per usual. We were disappointed that our table was not ready when we arrived when I think I made the reservation weeks ago. I did have a dog, but they didn’t seem to mind. There were plenty of tables outside and we ended up in the corner. A couple after us got a better table right in front of ours.

   This is a lovely locale with a gorgeous view. It is good for indoor or outdoor dining depending on the weather. The service is always friendly and gracious. Our server, Crystal was delightful and we had a lovely lunch

   The room is beautiful but the food and service did not come close to matching the price. Our server had no interest in making our visit pleasant. The room was so cold that most people kept coats on. The menue is very limited and uninteresting. We live 5 minutes from the Ritz and this will be our last visit.

   Our first time made quite a spectacular impression. The food at lunch was all superb. Chrystal was pleasant and efficient. When the food came for the 6 of us, all food was placed at the same time by 6 waiters! Very impressive and still hot. Ambiance was wonderful as well as spectacular with views over the pool and Coachella valley in the distance. Comfortable padded seats were appreciated by those of us that are thin. Christmas decor was top notch but not overdone everywhere. Very elegant overall.

    The Sunday Brunch ends at 11:15, info not posted anywhere? You must get to the brunch early to get a good selection we were told? We caught it and the selection was half gone. The lack of choices on the lunch menu was not exactly great. The gals checking us in were not helpful. Our party of 3 worked it out, but not a relaxing Sunday brunch as we hoped for..
