Lola Rose Grand Mezze

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Lola Rose Grand Mezze We ordered the Grand Mezze, and from start to finish we were genuinely amazed. The assortment alone is impressive—an incredible variety of dishes—and every single item delivered on flavor, quality, and presentation. First off, the portion sizes are excellent for the price. You get a generous amount of food, and the range of flavors makes it feel like a full culinary experience rather than just a meal. The octopus was cooked perfectly—tender, not rubbery—with a beautiful char that added a great depth of flavor. It was paired with assorted beans and spices that leaned slightly curry-like, which worked incredibly well together. The char was a standout in the best way. We also tried their signature upside-down rice, and it was a total flavor and texture bomb. The crispy bottom added an amazing crunch and was such a creative twist on traditional basmati rice. The beet salad was another highlight—an assortment of different beets with an earthy yet fresh profile. Throughout the entire meal, you could really taste how intentional the spice blends and flavor combinations were. Every dish had its own personality. The homemade falafel was clearly made fresh—no chewiness at all, perfectly crisp outside and soft inside. Paired with the sauces and fresh cucumbers, it hit the spot. For drinks, we tried their house martini and an old fashioned, and both were excellent—well balanced and thoughtfully done. If I had to note one small downside, the pita bread wasn’t the best I’ve had. That said, the bread served with the kebabs was fantastic, so it didn’t take away from the overall experience. We ordered both the lamb and tenderloin kebabs, and they were massive. The char was perfect, and there was a bright hit of lemon or acid that really brought everything together. The sides—fresh tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, green peppers, and multiple sauces—rounded the dish out beautifully. The dessert was surprisingly large and absolutely delivered. From the bottom crust to the creamy, frothy top, the textures and flavors were spot on. On top of the food, the restaurant itself is beautiful, with ample seating and plenty of space—we were just two people and felt very comfortable. The service was excellent, with staff fully engaged and attentive throughout the meal. Overall, this is easily a top-tier restaurant. We were impressed across the board and will absolutely be back. Highly recommended.

What a cool spot, and the food was amazing! Got seated promptly and the server was cheerful and welcoming. The coffee was perfect way to start. We had the chicken and waffles, avocado toast and za’tar potatoes. The Chicken and waffles so many flavors each one complementing the next. 100% recommend! We’ll be back!

Lola Rose at the Thompson Palm Springs is such a gem! The space is absolutely stunning, every detail of the décor, from the design to the plates and glassware, feels thoughtful and stylish. The food was just as impressive: fresh oysters, tender octopus, and a perfectly spiced lamb dish that stood out as a favorite. Dessert was a highlight too, the mango was beautifully presented and not overly sweet. On top of it all, the service was warm and attentive. A super cute spot I’d definitely come back to!

Epic dinner experience for my first time in Palm Springs! You came recommended by a friend and you did not disappoint. Pictured: my fave the Jahaver Polow Jeweled Rice. Not pictured: my other fave the fire roasted eggplant spread. Lovely atmosphere and perfect service. Thank you so much!

Party of seven for a birthday celebration. Place was pretty full, with a DJ playing tunes, so service was slow. Took 20 min to get our first round of drinks. Food recommended was good and decent portions for the group of our size. Hummus, prawns, chicken and beef kebabs, celebration bread and pitas were all delicious.

We just finished an amazing meal here with Scott as our server and every part of this evening was PERFECT!! The food, the atmosphere and the service were second to NONE! We loved the vibe of the restaurant, the kindness of the staff. Scott was incredibly patient in explaining the choices of both dishes and cocktails, with kindness and understanding. 10/10. Thank you to all of the staff for making my wife's special evening so amazing!

What a beautiful experience and amazing atmosphere! Staff was very attentive, very punctual, very polite and went far and beyond the call for service. We ordered the Oysters, Tomahawk Steak, eggplant hummus. It was absolutely astonishing and mouthwatering delicious!

Everything was delicious fabulous and wonderful. Wow, such incredible interior, menu and nice staff. Went for brunch on Saturday. Not crowded and had great servers. Would love to go again

I had been wanting to try this restaurant since it opened and finally had a friend with me will willing to take the plunge! I'm so glad that we did as our entire experience was delightful and we both agreed totally worth coming back. After a short browse through the menu, we decided to go for some cocktails as well as the petite Mezze as recommended by our server. The cocktails were fresh and came out quickly as there was not many people inside. Food wise everything was incredible and not too heavy with a ton of plates to share. That's right I said share these meals are meant to be family style or shared versus single entrée per person. I'm a big fan of the share and everyone tries everything style so this was perfect for me. We ordered the spacey lamb kebab, burrata, whipped ricotta, bone marrow, as well as the zaatar oil and green zhoug. Shout out to our server who split everything into three courses so that we could fit all of the plates plus our drinks on the small table. I hate the feeling of being overcrowded and it makes me nervous that I might knock something off so this little touch helped a ton! Absolute favorite was the burrata I highly recommend trying this out with the pita. The whipped ricotta was extremely light (not as flavorful as the Burrata but still tasty and enjoyable), the bone marrow was a surprise as it came out a single bone topped with shredded meat seasoned in a slightly sweet style sauce on a bed of uncooked, dried garbanzo beans (this was a little interesting. I will admit as the garbanzo is not meant to be eaten, but kind of goes everywhere). Lastly, the spicy lamb was flavorful, and I enjoyed how the peppers were fresh and slightly vinegar to balance it out. The rice was delicious, but nothing to write home about necessarily. Once again, a beautiful meal that was perfect for sharing, and I honestly think I could have shared it with one more person as we ended up with leftovers to take home at the end of the night and stuffed to our gills! I can't wait to come back again and I will definitely make a reservation as I know we didn't this time but they were so sweet to get us seated without any issue! Final note! many thank you's to our server Victoria for making the dinner such a delight!

Worst service--and we hadn't even sat down yet. After a rude, debasing encounter with a narcissist who likes to call himself a bartender, we walked out. On December 31 2025, lunch time, we waited about 15 minutes for a host to appear at the front. Assuming it would be quicker, my friend politely asked the bartender where we should check in. Instead of simply saying that someone would be with us shortly, this full-of-himself "beefcake" chose condescension and attitude as his opening move. He looked my friend up and down, smirked, and treated her like she was stupid. "Where else would you go to check in?" he said, then laughed directly in her face. As she walked away, he doubled down--loudly repeating the "joke" to a couple of customers who were clearly his friends, continuing to mock her and drawing laughs from other patrons at her expense. It's honestly shocking to witness something like this play out in real time, but sadly it did. The bartender was clearly enjoying a power trip, and management's absence allowed it to happen unchecked. If this is the kind of personality the restaurant puts front and center, it says everything about the culture behind the bar. We never even got to try the food, because no meal is worth being humiliated before you've even sat down. Save your time and your money. If you value basic human decency, walk past this place and don't look back. PS - We ended up at a new spot across the street called Sunset and the experience (and food) was phenomenal!

Just finished dinner at Lola Rose for Christmas dinner with the family . What a rollercoaster! We got there an hour early and sat at the bar and had a fabulous time our bartender was amazing! The hostess Georgie hooked us up with a table beside the bar for dinner and she was fantastic. That's when a took a turn. Our waiter was straight up terrible. I had to visit the bar four separate times from my table just to get plates for the apps, order drinks twice and have the table cleared of dirty dishes. 45 minutes for a draft beer and another half for desert. Seriously? I've worked in the restaurant industry for 28 years owning 3 establishments myself and haven't given less than a 100% tip on Christmas dinner in the last 20 years. The food was great but an inadequate server ruined the entire experience when I become the waiter for my entire family. Never again!

Tried breakfast, lunch and dinner here, so got a good idea of the different offerings. Breakfast - Had the chicken and waffle and the caramelized blueberry pancakes. We thought the pancakes were really tasty, but the chicken and waffles were a miss. Separately the chicken and waffle were fine, but it was smothered in a savory sesame sauce that was overpowering. Lunch - Had the wagyu burger and the lamb kebab plate. In both dishes, the meat lacked seasoning and was quite bland - especially the lamb which we did not care for. We did however like the accompanying items such as the fries, salad, rice, etc. Dinner - Had the burrata, chicken wings, beet salad and the celebration bread. These were definitely the stand out dishes we had at this restaurant. All of flavors were delicious and we especially enjoyed the sauce that came with the chicken wings, which we used to dip the celebration bread in. Last but not least the mango magick dessert was really good and definitely worth trying. Service was pretty attentive at breakfast and lunch but pretty spotty at dinner in the lounge. The waiter was very nice, just had too many tables to attend to. The restaurant decor is hip and during the day the mood is very chill. At night they had a dj and it was low lit and vibey.

Pina colada drink was more watery and not a blended drink, mango dessert is worth trying, sticky rice one missed the mark a bit Cute place for drinks to catch up or hang out with friends after dinner, although definitely on the pricier side. Service was quick and kind.

Lola Rose Grand Mezze is an absolute gem! We had dinner here during our trip to Palm Springs, and it was one of the highlights of our visit. The atmosphere is stunning warm, modern, and elegant, yet still relaxed and inviting. It feels like the kind of place where every detail has been thoughtfully designed to make the evening feel special. The food was outstanding every dish was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of vibrant Mediterranean flavors. We loved sharing a variety of mezze plates; it's such a fun and social way to dine. The cocktails were also excellent, and the service couldn't have been better -- friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without ever feeling rushed. My only feedback is that the table was not cleared as we finished the dishes. We had to ask them to clear our empty plates.

Gracious attendants. Delicious food. Lovely surroundings. We stopped in for a quick bite and found the chicken platter enough to hold us off until dinner. ($28) Enjoy!

Some great dishes, friendly service, but average drinks. Decor and atmosphere is nice with an upscale feel. Service- our waiter was very attentive and on it. Drinks- all but the wine were a miss. The milk beverage is not good, pass on this at all measures. Food- the buratta, hummus, and steak kebabs were the stand outs. Loaded with flavor and prepared perfectly. The octopus was alright nothing special, the steak tartar was a miss and way too seasoned; almost tasted like taco meet seasoning. The spicy lamb kebab is just ok but had a slightly weird flair profile and would not recommend.

This is my second time eating at the Lola Rose. And I always enjoy it. Whenever I come to Palm Springs from LA, I like to come here and eat and drink while I work. it's really nice vibe to be able to work by the pool or in the lounge. I love the decorations that they have. It makes me feel like I'm inside of an art gallery. I started with a cold glass of rosé wine, which is perfect for that heat. For my entrée, I got the beef tenderloin. It came with a side salad, grilled tomatoes, rice, and flatbread. My meat was nicely seasoned, and a nice portion. The waiter was really nice considering I was working remote. She was quick to refill my water and take any more drink orders that I had. I can't wait to go back when I come to Palm Springs.

Lola Rose sits atop of the Thompson Hotel in Downtown Palm Springs. It's a beautiful Mediterranean restaurant with very good service. It opens to a large sexy lounge area where you can get nibbles to go with your cocktails. The food is always very good. My husband loves the octopus, and I have never been disappointed with the kabobs or celebration bread.

Beautiful upscale dining, for parties of 10 or more flat rate of $48 per person plus drinks. Plus 25% tip added. Middle Eastern cuisine: protein beef tenderloin, saffron chicken, lamb, or falafel. Staff is very professional and helpful.

Horrible service. Waited 30 minutes after being seated and no one acknowledged our presence. Will never go there again.

Henry was the absolute best. We came here and had espresso martinis and beer and then went outside to enjoy the rooftop terrace area. When we returned, Henry treated us so nicely, giving us personable attention and conversation. I literally couldn't have asked for a better experience. Based on his service alone, I will return. The place is gorgeous, but service is much more important.

Lola Rose is located in the Thompson hotel on the second floor. Our first visit we came for drinks on a Saturday night. Half the restaurant has a lounge feel while the other half feels more restaurant like. When we came for drinks we sat on the lounge side and ordered the Silk Road sprotini $18 which was a play on an espresso martini. It was pretty good and would have loved to have ordered another but our server didn't follow up until after last call which was a bummer. Otherwise, we visited the following day for breakfast. Service was very attentive and kind but the food was a miss for us. I ordered the grand breakfast platter $30 this was actually very good so I recommend ordering. My hubby ordered the French toast and the cinnamon roll. The French toast($18) was dry and thick. The cinnamon roll($16) had too much going on with nuts, sumac icing and the Katafi wig along with it being rather small. Overall we couldn't justify the pricing for the quality. Maybe we would have a better experience for dinner as the menu looks a bit more promising.

Came here on NYE for a quick lunch. The bartender was openly condescending and made the experience uncomfortable from the start. Simple questions were met with sarcastic remarks and an attitude that felt dismissive and rude. Instead of making guests feel welcome, the bartenders acted as though customers were an inconvenience. There's a difference between confidence and arrogance, and this crossed the line into unprofessionalism. A restaurant should feel inviting and relaxed, not tense and judgmental. Until the staff learns how to treat guests with basic respect, I wouldn't recommend returning at all.

The food was terrible. Quite possibly the worst food experiences of my life. The $30 prawns were terrible burnt, no flavor. Presentation was beautiful but the taste was horrendous. The salad the 12-year-old could've made that salad. The ingredients were fresh, but it was. The celebration bread was simply. Focaccia. The three dollar dip they sold me was tasteless. Chicken tangine the worst I've ever had. Everybody in the restaurant was ordering the hamburger, and now I know why. They love the ambience in the environment, but the food oh my God, I'm so bummed and so sad. A big waste of money. Beautiful place! Great location! Everything was wonderful except the food.

I messed up and came a day early (!) but the hostess was very gracious and found us a two top in the lounge (where customers can order the full menu). We had the ono skewer (great char while moist), the muhamara (refreshing and sharp), the fried eggplant (unexpected and innovative tastes), and the jeweled rice (we loved it!). We ordered a Greek white wine that was a floral and a bit sweet, not dry as we would have preferred (our decision, so we take the responsibility). The place is a noise bomb and we had difficulty communicating but the food was better than we expected.

We came here for my birthday dinner while in Palm Springs for the weekend! We forgot to make a reservation but we're still able to pop in around 5:45pm ish and get seated in the open seating area. The restaurant is a part of a hotel and super cute vibe/aesthetic with a live DJ set as well. Our server was nice, but seemed a smidge distracted while we were there. We ordered a bunch of different plates and drinks and shared everything. Food was delicious and I would definitely eat here again.

What a beautiful space. Lola Rose Grand Mezze is all things beautiful. The service was consistent and the staff worked as a team to deliver a uniformed dining experience. The prices were incredibly reasonable, and menu was organized and diverse. While the food took on the true essence of Mediterranean cuisine, the dishes were imbalanced--some being too sweet, while others lacking the acidity needed to create a level of freshness needed to bring me in for more. Overall, happy to have visited, and recommend both visitors and locals to come to Lola Rose for the grand experience.

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday brunch and had a great time. The food and drinks were both great--definitely a solid brunch spot. The atmosphere and decor were beautiful, perfect for a celebration or just a cute weekend outing. The highlight for me was DJ Tina Turntables--she brought such a fun, energetic vibe to the place. Loved the music and overall ambiance. Would definitely come back!

This place ROCKS. Honestly my favorite restaurant in Palm Springs. Have been here twice and it's been just as good both times. Watermelon shirazi salad, lamb kebab, red pepper hummus, mango desert. SOOOO GOOD. Get these and you'll leave happy

Amazing restaurant at the Thompson Hotel, the food is delicious fresh, flavorful and filling. . Beautiful decor, with outdoor and indoor seating, it's a great spot for breakfast lunch or dinner. . Open later than most places in town with great service, everyone is kind and every meal is so thoughtful. This is the spot if you're in Palm Springs

Really dug the vibe in here. I stumbled on it while looking for a place to park on the strip, and ended up parking next to it. I wanted a drink anyway so came inside; if you come in from the street it requires going up a staircase to the open patio/pool area of a boutique hotel. The French doors were open though so I walked right up to the bar and was served right away. I got a prickly pear margarita which was lovely! The bartender was efficient despite being busy too which I appreciated. The vibes inside are just immaculate and the bathrooms are spotless - can tell it's a nice hotel! I paid like $20 including tax and tip? Not too bad. Would def come back, esp for a real meal - it would be great for a date spot!

Ok so the burger is great but the lamb bacon in the hummus is to die for! It's an appetizer but I would definitely order it with the celebration bread as a meal! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The wait staff is so friendly and the atmosphere is like being at an upscale beach club in Europe. They definitely did this right.

Came here once to grab a drink and sat outside to enjoy the crispy night in Nov '24. Then came here again for brunch recently. Loved the staff and the food was delicious. Had the Eggs Benedict, while my friend had the Chicken and Waffles. Highly recommend this place and would love to check it out for dinner soon!

What a great experience! Every employee went above and beyond. Jesse, our server was so sweet and helpful to our group. The food was absolutely delicious and presented beautifully. 10 out of 10! We will definitely come back.

Food- Our food was good, nothing too crazy. The muhamra with the celebration bread was delicious. The celebration bread was very soft, dough texture and paan bread like. The falafel and pita bread were warm and crispy. Service- We had a reservation for 5:00pm and were seated right away. You have to book at least a week or two in advance to dine at the place. Our server's name was Danna, and she did an exceptional job recommending favorite dishes and explaining the menu. Plenty of table check-ins, and waters were filled periodically. Ambiance- The ambiance is very modern, comfortable, and vibey. It's a place you'd expect to visit if this were San Diego. It's also a place where you'd grab drinks with your besties and gossip over Mediterranean food. Very cool place to try once, but I'd only return for a special occasion! Overall, great service! Thank you :)

We had a reservation for 4 for 5:00 pm to dine and watch The Palm Springs Christmas parade. We added a 5th person and I emailed them around 2 pm to let them know. One gal arrived at 4:50 and they wouldn't seat her until all 5 arrived. Ok fine. Then the manager, Kristie, stated they "couldn't accommodate" one more person because they were booked with "so many reservations ". As we sat on the EMPTY patio with NO ONE else there but us, our cocktails arrived. We had pulled up a 5th chair from one of the tables that wasn't even set for dinner. Kristie came over and we asked if they could pull up another table. She told us "no we have so many reservations". We looked around at a completely empty patio and a mostly empty dining room and tried to reason with her. We offered all of us to set at the table for four even though it was crowded. One of us offered to get up and leave when the tables filled up and they needed our singles extra chair. She said no we were absolutely flabbergasted. Here were five obviously well dressed women in our 50s to enjoy a very expensive dinner and cocktails, and she was telling us that we could not stay because they were "so busy". She asked if we were guests at the hotel and we told her no we live here. We are all locals and if we have a good experience, we will return. She said maybe I can squeeze you into the lounge, so I followed her into the lounge and the noise level was deafening. There was a large table there and a man and a child had sat down. They weren't eating or anything, but then she told us the table was taken. We did not want to sit inside and even though there were empty tables all over the place. She said she didn't have room to accommodate five of us. She told us we would have to leave and that she would take care of our drinks so we left and watched the parade from the street. By this time. It was after 6 o'clock and not one other person had shown up to sit at those tables. I went back two hours later to see. the patio was still completely empty, except for one table that had 5 or 6 guests. The dining room was still empty. Please do not patronize this place. it's very expensive, manager Kristie is rude, and I wouldn't give this company any business.

I came here while I was staying at the Thompson hotel in and the food was delicious but on a smaller portion. It does get very busy at night so there might be a little bit of a way to get seated. The service is a little slow, but overall, the ambience is nice and could be a good place to just grab drinks if you're not feeling it for dinner.

We've been here for dinner twice now, and both times the food has been phenomenal. Drinks are on point, the service was prompt and helpful, and the space is open and chill. We like to try something new each time and haven't regretted it. Do yourself a favor and get the mahumara, and share the mezze for two if you're with company.

Stopped by this spot for a drink and enjoyed the ambiance and lounge menu. Service was great and attentive. They had a nice wine selection and cocktails were well made. The desert rose tasted slightly sweet and smoky. We didn't order any snacks but they looked good. I will try them next time.

the food was delicious and the service was great! they had a wide variety on their brunch menu.

My favorite restaurant in Palm Springs! Although this restaurant is fairly new, I believe that the quality of the food and the ambience far surpasses the competition in the Coachella Valley. Food (5/5) The menu is a little complicated if one is not familiar with traditions eastern Mediterranean cuisine; however, ordering blindly can still lead to a great meal here. I had to do a little research about a few of the sections of the menu before dining here, but it was well worth it. A few favorites include ahi crudo, celebration bread, lamb kofta kebab, and the mango magic dessert. This is a clean but somewhat carb heavy menu so be prepared to feast when coming here. The ahi tuna crudo is very refreshing with the use of the avocado sorbet and the celebration bread is surprisingly refreshing as well with the added lemon zest. For the main entree portion of the meal, I've always ordered a few of the kebabs because each kebab comes on a plate with a humongous flatbread and pickled onions. The lamb kofta kebab was nicely seasoned a definite favorite of mine. Additionally, I've always found it hard to decide on dessert here because the options are very tempting; however, I've always ordered the mango magic dessert because of the sleek presentation it comes to the table as. I'm a sucker for an over-the-top dessert where you have to crack it open to reveal the contents inside, and the mango magic did not disappoint. The mango yogurt mousse inside was light and not too sweet, and the Aleppo pepper in the shell of the dessert paired nicely with the mango flavor. Service (4.5/5) The service can vary depending on how busy the restaurant is as the space is on the larger side with multiple sections including a very large bar area that hotel guests seemed to congregate towards. The wait staff has always been nice and accommodating and my waiter actually waived the dessert fee one time because my entree took longer than expected to come out (a nice gesture that did not go overlooked as I have returned a few times after that experience). Atmosphere (5/5) This restaurant space has the best overall theme and decor that I've seen in the Coachella Valley and could rival some Michelin starred restaurants I've visited. The space is modern, yet relaxing because of curves that are incorporated into the interior. The bar and lounge area is quite impressive as well and it has always been at full capacity when I've dined here.

1st and definitely not last time coming here!! Loved all the details put into this place Food is very tastey & beautifully put also service is great & the servers are on top of everything 10/10

Went to Lola Rose Grande Mezze during a get-together in Palm Springs and was impressed with all the detail that went into making the space picture worthy. The interior and the outdoor area were beautiful, each with their own vibe. We came for bunch on a Sunday and really enjoyed the DJ while waiting to be seated. The food was okay. Not many vegan options, but I was able to order a salad without the feta and a side of Za'atar Potatoes. However the service was very slow. While not the most enjoyable experience, I would still return to check out the Lola Rose Swim Club and perhaps a drink in the lounge area!

Lola Rose is one of my favorite new brunch destinations in Palm Springs. Located inside the Thompson Hotel, it offers a diverse menu, a sophisticated space, and a level of attention to detail and great service that makes every visit feel like a treat. The food is Mediterranean-inspired with some flavorful spices and twists that still feel familiar in a great way. I've been twice now, and my friends have visited several times more--every experience has been a hit. Highlights: -The breakfast sandwich is exceptional, with a croissant-like bun, soft scrambled eggs, avocado, sausage, and melted cheese and an aioli. It is a perfect bite. The crispy, fluffy potatoes on the side are perfectly done, and I appreciated the side of ketchup without needing to ask. It's a large satisfying plate. -The Ricotta Lemon Pancakes are a visual and flavor standout. They're topped with decadence like Chantilly, candied pecans, and macerated berries. It's delightfully sweet but balanced, and absolutely unique. -The Shakshuka is bold and comforting. It's savory and hits all the right amount of spice and heat. -Lola Rose Grand French Toast has earned its name. It is rich and indulgent in the best way, topped with caramelized pineapple and mascarpone. It tastes like pineapple upside-down cake with crispy edges meets French toast for a luxurious brunch moment. Cocktails are equally well thought out--beautifully crafted and layered with flavor, whether you prefer something citrusy, herbaceous, or bold. One note: I've had the fried chicken and waffle a couple of times. It's super crispy and comes with a za'atar crust and chili butter, but for me, the chicken itself could use more flavor. It's still good, but I tend to order other favorites instead. The space itself is stunning, think relaxed luxury resort. Both the indoor and outdoor areas are thoughtfully designed with warm wood, soft light, and a relaxed, upscale feel. The poolside patio is especially lovely, with plenty of room to enjoy your meal at your own pace. Parking tip: if you park in the Thompson Hotel garage (not valet) and they'll validate your parking.

My husband and I really enjoyed our time at Lola Rose. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and perfect for sharing. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a night out. Our server, Scott, truly made the experience worthwhile. He knew the menu inside and out and guided us perfectly based on our tastes--every recommendation was spot-on. Excellent food, great service, and wonderful vibes. We'll definitely be back!

What a great find while in town. The setting was a bit posh but the servers got us sat right away. We were greeted by Tommy who was a great help throughout the visit. Explained the menu to us and got us drinks. Our server was a progressive well mannered male. I forgot his name but he took our orders. It was a group of four so we decided on the for four platter which was one kebab, one dessert, two sides, and free celebration bread. My favorite dish was the mango dessert and the bone marrow dish. Although it's a higher end setting there's a pool and lobby on the other side of the lounge room where we sat. In other words you'll see folks in swim wear passing through or even checking in it looked. Nice place definitely look forward to going back

Had lunch here as my friends and I were staying at the thompson hotel (which this restaurant is in) First let me start by saying this restaurant is NEW and it is BEAUTIFUL. All the decor is very thoughtful and gives an upscale mediterranean vibe. Vibe/Ambiance - 10/10 great view of the pool and the mountains food - 10/10 we had the tomato labneh, hummus with oyster mushrooms, kebab plate, breakfast platter. everyone loved their food. My kebab plate came with an iced tea! service - 6.5/10 don't get me wrong everyone here is so so nice but it is a new hotel and they are definitely still working out the kinks. we all ordered coffees and it didn't come out until we asked a different server bc they were planning to bring the coffees out with the food (strange) one person in our party even ordered a coffee from the bar bc we were tired. i hope they hire more staff to help everyone out. the servers looked like they were worked tired

Tried the new Lola Rose Grand Mezze and it was spectacular. The deco, the vibe, and the food were all outstanding. We got the Petite Mezze and it was perfect for two of us. The lamb was sooo tender. Each dish was unique, perfectly seasoned and beautiful. Excellent! They are still working out the kinks of staffing, which is fine and let's give them a break here at the beginning. They'll figure it out.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would without hesitation. This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. The service was pathetic. Our server was rude, lazy, and acted like doing the bare minimum of their job was beneath them. We had to chase them down just to order, and then sat there for almost an hour with no drinks and no food. Completely unacceptable. The racism was impossible to ignore. If you weren't a rich white customer, you were clearly treated as invisible. Tables that fit their "preferred" look were attended to immediately, while everyone else was ignored, brushed off, or treated with attitude. It was obvious, uncomfortable, and disgusting. The manager was just as worthless. When we told him we'd been waiting forever, he didn't care, didn't apologize, and didn't bother fixing anything. No accountability, no professionalism, no shame. This place is poorly run, disrespectful, and clearly only interested in catering to a certain type of customer. Do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else

Love this place. DJ mixing tunes day and night keeps the ambience lively. We had the kababs for dinner and the old fashioned was on point. Morning breakfast was absolutely delicious. Ordered the shakshuka for me and poached eggs breakfast for my wife. The shakshuka was better than what I had in all of Israel. Perfectly spiced and served in a steel pan like it should. Definitely not a foofoo portion. This chef knows what he's doing. The servers were very nice and Carlos helped us. We will definitely be back.

We've had lunch a few times here and can't say enough about how great the food is. The poolside dining is amazing. Option indoor is absolutely beautiful as well..

Highly recommend for women dining out solo. The lounge area is inside next to an open-air patio which allows you to enjoy the fresh air and light of the day. Arriving at 5:00 it was fairly quiet. I counted three women dining alone, two women, and another three women at the bar. There were no men in the restaurant at all (until around 7:00 when I left). I had the oddest feeling of being in a safe space; just enjoying my wine and meal without any bother. Jack, my waiter, seemed to always show up at the right time; a refill of my wine when the food arrived, my latte when dessert came. He brought a new set of silverware before the entree came. He left me alone when I took a call, but as soon as I was off, checked in with me. And the food. Fantastic. Beets (so tasty), falafel with garlic yogurt & pickled red onion/marinated cucumber. Dessert: the Coco Paradiso and latte was the perfect end to a glorious meal. Yes, it is pricey, but if you are ready for a real treat, do the whole thing! Enjoy!

This was an amazing restaurant with excellent service and food. I had the Wagar burger with rice and it was great. It was perfectly prepared and had a stuffed pepper with feta cheese on top of the burger, which made it very tasty. I would definitely recommend and definitely would go back.

Brunch was so good we decided to come back for dinner! Service was fabulous & every dish was well defined. Started with the yellowtail, light & fresh. The highlight of the meal was for sure the spicy lamb, cooked absolutely perfectly; the garlic toum really brought out the flavor. Also loved the bazaar tahdig, so crispy! The avocado sorbet on the burrata was an unexpected surprise, would definitely order it again. For dessert we tried the chocolate von Lola, loved the savory notes from the sesame. Not overwhelming sweet which was nice. Overall a great meal!

I went with a group of friends, hoping to enjoy an evening, but was disappointed. We had been there for cocktails and appetizers before and thought we'd try dinner. First thing, some of the food was in need of flavor. It did not have the expected spices. The rice was cold and sticky, but ultimately our server was mediocre at best. Our drinks went unfilled. He never checked on our meal after it was delivered and we had to flag him down several times! At one point one of our party got up and got a pitcher of water to refill all of our glasses at the table. We tried a little bit of everything because there were eight of us, but I doubt we'll try again since half of our party did not enjoy the dishes, and those who did were only fans of the meat and not any of the sides. The tzatziki was $13 for a splash in the bottom of a plate and the hummus was too pastey!

First of all, Danna is amazing! We came on a really busy Friday night and she stayed on top of everything! Very helpful and a great guide with the menu. She deserves the biggest tip, or raise!! The food is insane! I wish I could erase my memory and have this experience over and over! The atmosphere is perfect. We were in the pink room and it felt like the perfect mixture of tucked away and hidden, but still able to people watch and feel a part of the energy.

Ate here the other night at the recommendation of some friends. This is in the Thompson Hotel in Palm Springs so it's conveniently located near lots of shopping and is beautifully decorated with a high-end vibe. The menu took some deciphering so we needed a little more time to decide what to order. In the end, we shared some hummus, celebration bread, and a few other small plates before our individual entrees. The portions are really small but the food is fresh and the server was polite and patient with us. If you're into specialty cocktails and are daring enough to try different combinations of things (some of which we've never heard of), they have quite a few choices for you to try. The Oaxacan Old Fashioned was pretty good especially when paired with the steak tartare. They have a nice seating area around the bar and from the looks of the set up, there might even be live music on certain days of the week.
