The Tropicale: A Tropical Tapas Oasis in Palm Springs

Well from the outside we would not have picked this spot but walking in changes all that. The atmosphere both inside and out was fun and cool. We sat on the patio and we had a late lunch. Started with the calamari and chips and salsa. Both were excellent! We also had 2 different pizza’s, the gyro, and the burger. The pizza crust is nice and thin. The gyro was just okay. The burger was yummy. Service was outstanding. We would definitely go back.

Really fun, swanky, old-school Palm Springs five. Funny to walk to it past sort of a sketchy area and then you enter the front doors and it’s dark and beautiful and moody. Nice patio outside too. Happy hour drinks are like $6.75 and up, no publicized menu of what they are but lots of options. Great prices and generous portions. Friendly waiters. Will have to come here every time I come to Palm Springs!

Fantastic dinner. If you're here with a group, absolutely order the pupu platter. The variety of apps on that thing is amazing. Everyone at our table found something to love. Our meals were fantastic as well. Huge portions. Delicious food. Great, prompt, attentive service. I would 100% eat here again.

Tropicale’s hospitality driven by Ashley always exceeds our expectations! Ashley goes out of her way to notice things before they’re even mentioned or requested and we leave feeling like we matter and that our business is appreciated. We will continue to support Tropicale and refer others to this amazingly managed establishment as well!

This place lives up to its name. The coconut martini makes you feel like you are in Hawaii. The fried chicken salad is delicious and the banana split is almost enough for 3 people. The staff are friendly and efficient. Great tropical atmosphere.

We celebrated my 40th bday at Tropicale and our experience was 10/10. Our server Aaron was SO on top of everything for our party of 15. We could tell this was not his first rodeo. He was super friendly, patient, and got our orders in quickly. The food was delicious, I had the miso salmon and was super happy with my choice. The decor is classic Palm Springs and exactly what I was hoping for. Highly recommend and thank you so much for a great birthday dinner!

The outside of the restaurant and its surrounding area did not come across as an attention seeking place. The street was quiet, there were some parking on the street and more parking was available in the back. Although smaller spaces than expected, my friend's SUV fit right in with minimal wiggle room. The lit torches out in the front of the restaurant were a nice addition to its exterior decor and then we walked inside.... My girlfriends and I were celebrating our milestone birthday. We had a 7pm reservation on a week night. The hostess greeted us. She was friendly and welcoming. We were then lead to the patio area outside. Not to say that the dining area was not inviting but we preferred fresh air. The weather was perfect in late August. Our server, Andrea was exceptional, from beginning til end. She didn't miss a beat. Like the hostess, she was welcoming and friendly. More importantly, she always checked in with us, asking if there was anything else we needed. And, when we did, she was prompt in fulfilling our request each time. Even when it got busy, she made sure we ended our dining experience with smiles on our face. Nice calming ambience both in the dining area and outdoor patios. From its decor, low lighting, music, and friendly staff, it was perfect. Our mocktails and food were good. Not exactly 5 star but presentation was on point. It was definitely a great night to celebrate our birthdays at The Tropicale in Palm Springs! Perfect A must-see

This is a staple for us every time we’re in the area. The outdoor patio is unbeatable, the drinks off the charts, and the service exquisite. Door variety, quantity and quality is top notch. Don’t let the modest outside of the restaurant fool you. The inside is a paradise!
