Food Scene

One of the best Shabu experiences you will have anywhere outside of Japan! Incredible sake selection. Go for the fried chicken, sake tasting, and Japanese Wagyu (A5). Ask them to show you the certificate that tells you where your cow came from. Very authentic.

Restaurant + bar + group dinners. This is also especially good for date nights. The food is excellent, well thought through menu with fresh ingredients. The drink menu is robust, with many whiskey, rye, cocktails, apéritifs and digestifs. Looking for a large communal table that seats your entire wedding party? Look no further.

Great no fuss vegetarian/vegan/gluten free cafe located inside a naturals shop that also carries great selection of probiotics, vitamins, organic soaps and oils. A quick spot for brunch or lunch. Lu's favorite: a pitaya smoothie and portobello wrap.

Delicious sandwich shop that is good for eat in (small groups or individuals) or take out. We love the chicken salad sandwich, build your own, or try one of their many specialities. While you're there, stop by the Wabi Sabi shop for some quick perusing (it's just across the street).

The original founder of Southern California vegan staple Native Foods, Chef Tanya founded her newest namesake restaurant in 2017. Starting as a manufacturing facility for tempeh and seitan, it expands into a deli style quick service eatery. We recommend the deli potato salad, vegan "ribs", and an iced Mumbai chai to go.

Drinks & Nightlife

A Palm Springs institution. If you're looking to put on some classy attire (or not!), and drink some delicious martinis. This is the place. There's a dance floor in the back and they serve jumbo shrimp cocktail. If you're lucky, you'll run into Melvin himself, who looks like Tony Bennett, holding a martini.

Tiki bar with a dark and intimate inside and seating outdoor for groups. The standout for this bar is the artisanal approach to tiki cocktails. The servers and bartender really know their stuff - drinks are strong and good looking.

Large open bar seating with room for larger groups to do a walk-in on weekdays. There is also table seating for groups of 2, all around. It is a more casual option to Workshop Kitchen + Bar but the menu is pretty much the same. We recommend the meatballs with zucchini pasta!
