Fantastic dinner. If you're here with a group, absolutely order the pupu platter. The variety of apps on that thing is amazing. Everyone at our table found something to love. Our meals were fantastic as well. Huge portions. Delicious food. Great, prompt, attentive service. I would 100% eat here again.

This is a total atmosphere place. The manager/host is always super friendly and welcoming. Everyone here seems to have a good attitude. Love the decor and the patio seating. Wish they kept the pumpkin creme brulee year round! But chicken parm is good, the pizzas are decent and they have a good shrimp cocktail.

We had such a wonderful experience at The Tropicale! The food was absolutely fantastic; every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere is vibrant and fun, with just the right mix of Palm Springs charm and modern flair. Service was incredible; truly over-the-top in the best way. The staff made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in and went above and beyond throughout the evening. Can’t wait to come back!

I love this restaurant. We've been here twice, once for brunch once for dinner. Between both trips we've only gotten one thing that wasn't mindblowingly stellar (it was a drink, so don't even let it affect your decision). While the food is amazing, the real secret is that this place serves the absolute best desserts. They have an in-house pastry chef and it's honestly worth coming here just for dessert if you happen to have other plans. I've had the baked Alaska, the coffee cake, and the sweet potato pie. Each was categorically the best I've ever had of their respective dish.

We celebrated my 40th bday at Tropicale and our experience was 10/10. Our server Aaron was SO on top of everything for our party of 15. We could tell this was not his first rodeo. He was super friendly, patient, and got our orders in quickly. The food was delicious, I had the miso salmon and was super happy with my choice. The decor is classic Palm Springs and exactly what I was hoping for. Highly recommend and thank you so much for a great birthday dinner!

The outside of the restaurant and its surrounding area did not come across as an attention seeking place. The street was quiet, there were some parking on the street and more parking was available in the back. Although smaller spaces than expected, my friend's SUV fit right in with minimal wiggle room. The lit torches out in the front of the restaurant were a nice addition to its exterior decor and then we walked inside.... My girlfriends and I were celebrating our milestone birthday. We had a 7pm reservation on a week night. The hostess greeted us. She was friendly and welcoming. We were then lead to the patio area outside. Not to say that the dining area was not inviting but we preferred fresh air. The weather was perfect in late August. Our server, Andrea was exceptional, from beginning til end. She didn't miss a beat. Like the hostess, she was welcoming and friendly. More importantly, she always checked in with us, asking if there was anything else we needed. And, when we did, she was prompt in fulfilling our request each time. Even when it got busy, she made sure we ended our dining experience with smiles on our face. Nice calming ambience both in the dining area and outdoor patios. From its decor, low lighting, music, and friendly staff, it was perfect. Our mocktails and food were good. Not exactly 5 star but presentation was on point. It was definitely a great night to celebrate our birthdays at The Tropicale in Palm Springs! Perfect A must-see👍🏼

Our hotel manager said, “I know it sounds weird, but trust me and order the lamb meatballs”. He was soooo right. But even before we ordered we were greeted so well by Blanca, who seated us and periodically checked on us. Our server Daman, gave us above and beyond great service!!! He made drink and dinner suggestions that truly led to us having an exceptional experience. We had the spicy mango mojito, lamb meatballs and chicken parmigiana. If we have time left on this trip, we will definitely be back.

A fabulous spot with delicious food and a laid-back vibe that won’t quit. I heard that this was the most popular restaurant in Palm Springs and now I understand why. The atmosphere is intoxicating. Our server was wonderful. And the food was everything you want it to be. Even something as simple as the spaghetti and meatballs was a dish that everyone wanted to eat more of. It felt like being invited into a cool secret club, but not pretentious at all. An unforgettable experience for the large group we were with that exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend.

The Tropicale in Palm Springs is an absolute gem with a calming, yet upbeat, and romantic atmosphere. The warm pink accent lighting and lush decor set the perfect mood for a fun date night. The fun Cuban music playing in the background adds a vibrant and playful energy to the experience. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed yet lively night out. The food was on point. We started with the Korean BBQ skewers. They were full of flavor and unbelievably tender. For our entrees, I got the steak and arugula salad, and my husband ordered a flat iron steak with a wonderful southwestern blend of vegetables. Both wonderful. Then, we ended with their carrot cake. Oh my goodness. One of the best carrot cakes that we have tried since being stationed here! It was so good, there wasn’t even time to snap a quick picture. 😂 10/10 recommend this place. We plan on bringing a group of friends with us next time to try their pitchers of speciality drinks. 🍹

Very nice with interior and exterior eating areas. Large Marlin on the wall. Ordered the skewers. The steak ones were very tender & juicy. The steak was good but I didn’t like the salad. Finished with a very nice strawberry cheesecake. Service is fast and helpful. Men’s restroom is all black except one wall. caught me by surprise and would not want the lights to turn off hahaha. I say check it out.

Amazing ambiance, superb service and fantastic food. A favourite for consistency in all three. Try the fried chicken as part of a salad or with mashed potatoes.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. They have always been on point with food and service. Had a disappointing dinner on Sunday evening. My guest’s curry was cold and my onion rings were burnt. Both were sent back with no apology, no visit from a manager or owner. I guess I just expected more when there are items being sent back to the kitchen. I hope things aren’t changing there because it has always been a consistent favorite.

Tropicale’s hospitality driven by Ashley always exceeds our expectations! Ashley goes out of her way to notice things before they’re even mentioned or requested and we leave feeling like we matter and that our business is appreciated. We will continue to support Tropicale and refer others to this amazingly managed establishment as well!

Good service. For a first time group visit, the pupu platter is a must-order to sample a bunch of different appetizers. There were no misses. Would highly recommend the food—Miso Salmon, Thai Lime & Chile skirt steak salad Wish my cocktail was more balanced in flavour. Chocolate cake was HUGE, but didn’t want to have more than a few bites of it. Was skeptical from photos online, but the night restaurant lighting doesn’t do the food justice.

The atmosphere was nice but the brunch food was meh, 2.5/5. I’d recommend coming here for just the drinks. Service was good to start but real slow once the food was on the table. And they didn’t have any spicy salsa, or hot sauce, aside from sriracha, that was the nail in the coffin for me personally, because i couldn’t even fix the bland food with something spicy. Oh well.

The Tropicale came highly recommended by a few friends and even my sister in law, so my wife and I made it our first dinner stop for our one year anniversary weekend. We were excited to try it but honestly the whole experience just was not what we hoped for. From the moment we walked in it felt more like a nightclub than a restaurant. It was loud, packed, and people were constantly moving around. Conversation was tough and instead of a relaxed dinner vibe it felt like everyone was there mainly for the bar scene. The staff, to their credit, were great. There were servers everywhere making sure drinks stayed full and checking on tables, and every person we interacted with was kind and on top of things. Food wise it started off promising. We shared the Thai pork lettuce cups with papaya slaw and those were actually really good with nice flavor, a little sweet and savory, and probably the highlight of the night. After that it went downhill. We ordered the Creekstone ranch prime flat iron steak which is twelve ounces and fifty four dollars and it came out bland and a little dry. We even asked for extra salt because it was just missing seasoning completely. The baked potato that came with it was literally just a plain potato with some toppings on the side and nothing special at all. My wife barely touched it. For my entrée I tried the miso glazed steelhead salmon with black rice. It was fine and tasted like a normal salmon bowl with a light teriyaki glaze but nothing memorable or worth coming back for. Considering the price point I expected something that felt a bit more special or unique. Everyone around us was ordering cocktails and big fun drinks which honestly looked like the main draw here. We do not drink so maybe that is the real hook of the place and why people rave about it. If you are looking for a lively bar and cocktail scene maybe it is great. But for a nice sit-down dinner it just was not it for us. The staff was wonderful but overall it is not a spot we would return to for food.
