The Thirsty Palms - Palm Springs

Today we went to “Thirsty Palms”. We chose this restaurant because of its varied menu and reasonable prices. We don't regret our choice. The burgers and fries were very good. Spaghetti with shrimp was generously seasoned with garlic and tasted really delicious. The Margherita pizza was huge and my child really enjoyed it. The service was nice and accommodating. A successful end to the day!

How do you spell perfection? Lox Benedict at Thirsty Palms! Finely created artisan craftsmanship, beautifully presented and expertly prepared with egg yolks that flow gently over the layers of lox, thinly sliced red onion, and delicate green arugula. Capers are scattered on top in a bow to the lox. Hollandaise is exactly right, delicious and creamy.Side greens are dressed with a light dressing that has just a touch of tang which enhances but doesn’t distract from the Benedict star of the show.Service needs guidance. Smiles and genuine interest would be helpful.As a Benedict fan, this so far outclasses the several other restaurants I’ve tried here, even the ones with long lines waiting.Outdoor setting is pleasant, the inside is charming. Everything is meticulously bright and sparkling clean.

Very bad experience. We were informed that we will have to wait 30min. for our food. After some time waiting we thought it is weird that people who entered after us are already eating. After 50min. waiting, they came apologetic that our order did not proceed through their system and we have to wait a bit more. As we thought it will be just a few minutes waiting we stayed but after another 10min. we deciced to leave. This was unbelievable. You should at least offer some compensation as to apologize for your mistake.

The worst restaurant experience we have ever had in Palm Springs. Over one hour wait for two pasta dishes and they were terrible. Two pieces of shrimp on the shrimp scampi pasta and salty. No other spices. Never going back. Everyone waited forever for their food and drinks.

I think the main problem with thirsty palms is they cannot decide what they are! Although we didn't have it, the pizza's looked good. The chicken schnitzel was bland and dry. The service was very good.
