Pinocchio In the Desert - Palm Springs (CA)

1 /5 Joe Caputo: Based on other reviews we were excited to eat here, unfortunately we were unable to even attempt. We were greeted efficiently, and asked a table for how many, we responded two, asked inside or outside, we replied inside and then asked for any table we could sit next to one another. As a respectful gesture I prefer to sit next to my partner. Unfortunately the hostess let us know they could not accommodate that per policy. A simple look around at the empty restaurant there were ample opportunities to do so. If the restaurant was busy we’d fully understand the business need. However in this setting they would rather say no than seat two customers. I respectfully asked if I could talk to a supervisor that did not happen, instead another individual came to attempt to seat us in the same table facing one another. When we asked again if we could sit next to each other he said oh no it’s policy. As a business owner myself I think the owner of this facility should absolutely have such a policy for when they are full, but I’d be concerned not allowing your team some flexibility and refusing service when your restaurant could easily accommodate. On the other hand pictures 2 & 3 is from Juniper at Rowan and their breakfast was fantastic.

5 /5 Kat Demaline: What a fun spot for brunch in Downtown Palm Springs! The bottomless mimosas are clearly a major draw with their unbeatable pricing and the food is just as reasonably priced. My partner and I both had omelets with breakfast potatoes and toast; we cleaned our plates. I really enjoyed the mango margarita, though it seemed a bit light on the alcohol compared to a standard margarita. Still, it was refreshing and delicious. The patio had a great vibe with multiple tables laughing, chatting and just soaking up the moment. Big shoutout to our beautiful server—she had amazing energy, a natural sense of hospitality and a way of connecting with everyone on the patio.

5 /5 Dorothy Obianuju: Hands down the best bottomless brunch in Palm Springs! You can’t beat their bottomless champagne is $7.95 and juice is an additional cost! They literally give you the full bottom of champagne and they will give you another one if you finish the bottle. My family went twice while we were Palm Springs. The first time, I got the French toast and I would give it a 4/5. A little dry but very tasty! Everything on the platter; eggs, sausage bacon, was very good! The second time, in offered the Egg Benedict and this was egg Benedict was probably one of the best I’ve ever had!!! So flavorful! The hollandaise sauce was delicious! The staff is sooooooo friendly! They were attentive always checking to see if we need any refills. 10/10 experience! Can’t wait to come Palm Springs and Pinocchio!

5 /5 Kamyar Mirzazad: A cozy place right by the downtown, with a rich menu. I had turkey sandwich and chicken sandwich, both of which were great. The price was in line with expectation and staff were friendly.
