Friends and I have eaten there for years and we love it in all respects. The lamb is delicious, the predinner rolls to die for. We do not go there for an epicurean repast.

a diner from Palm Desert
I went here twice. Once in 2004 while staying with friends who raved about this place. The food then was horrible and the service lousy - felt like I was in upstate New York and someone was trying to get home. I gave this place a second chance in 2009 after someone else raved about this place. So here's the deal: Three of us went. One had the lasagna - dry and tasteless. I had a pasta dish - the pasta was over cooked to the point where it did not hold its shape - a plate of mush. There were canned blacked olives on the pasta, the same you get on pizza. My other friend had the lamb that was over cooked and the vegetables were boiled to death. None of us finished our meals. When the waiter took the plates he said 'wow you didn't touch your meals' then took off, and didn't bother to ask why! I understand that the owner is a vet and real estate agent, because the walls are pasted with real estate advertisements and war pictures. He should be out of the restaurant business.
