Del Rey At Villa Royale - Palm Springs

The grilled artichokes were disappointing. They were very tough, poorly prepared with outer leaves that were useless and inner leaves that still had sharp points. When we tried to eat them, they dripped liquid everywhere. This dish was removed from our bill. On the other hand, the shrimp tapas dish was delicious. It had five large prawns in a tasty garlic lemon sauce. The only issue was that it came with a single piece of toasted bread that had already soaked up the sauce, making it difficult to share. The oyster mushrooms were a letdown - two large skewers with charred, bitter mushrooms. The Basque cheesecake was a standout - not too sweet, with a cake-like outer layer and a creamy inner part. The caramel sauce had a nice sugary crunch to it. The wines (Albarino, Sancerre, Rose) were excellent, even though the pours were on the smaller side. Overall, we wouldn't go back.

This restaurant is wonderful, with delicious food and exceptional service.

The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with dim lighting. They offer craft cocktails and upscale small plates. In our group of four, we ordered meatballs, broccolini, artichokes, shrimp, chicken skewers, and focaccia bread. Everything was delicious. The server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The prices were high, but it seems to be the norm in Palm Springs.

The atmosphere is amazing and the food is extraordinary. The small plates are Just the right amount of food.

Adorable little restaurant off an adorable little hotel. Much ambiance!! The inside restaurant is very dark moody. Great cocktails service
