“ This place is great. I come here often and I've never been disappointed. Try the stuffed fish fillet, it amazing. I think this has to be the best seafood in all of Palm Springs. Service was fast and I nevernever had to ask for a refill. Ask for Mario, not sure if he's the owner but he cooks like a Ninja Warrior. The best place on earth. ”
