   We come to Palm Springs for vacation every year and always have dinner at the Tropicale our first night. The food is fabulous.

   Good service and food. The waiter offered to spit the bill amongst the group without even asking how cool was that!

   Tropicale is one of our faves, and tonight was no exception. Carissa is an amazing server - she answered all of our questions, made helpful suggestions and added fun to our night. The portions are tremendous - we have leftovers for multiple meals. And the ambiance is always, always welcoming and warm.

   a PS classic gem -- wide variety of cocktails and eating options. Everything was perfectly shareable between four friends to get a little of everything. The Pupu Platter (starter) is nearly enough for a meal for two people -- and worth it!

   Food was overcooked and lukewarm. Cocktails were not up to par from past visits.

   Overall, fairly mediocre. The sauces in general were spicy and favorful but did not seem blended or balanced with the nuance that would take them over the top. The sauce used in the scallop dish among the chef's specialties was an interesting blend of Indian and Thai flavors but did not come together as a unified seasoning. The scallops themselves were cooked perfectly and cried for the same in the sauce. The meat used in the satay appetizer was somewhat tough as was the meat used in the steak taco dish. All in all, way overpriced for an in general unremarkable meal.

    Had a fabulous dinner tonight. My husband had a shrimp salad, and the shrimp were numerous and big! My 5th grade gf had the scallops, so tasty. I had the beef skewers w/ peanut sauce and they were fabulous. We will be back!
