    It was a great experience; I’m not sure why people are giving this restaurant low reviews. Service was great, they have indoor and outdoor seating. I wish I sat outside with my wife but inside was still nice. Their brunch service is great; they have a very very nice espresso machine. The Turkish coffee was excellent, and so was the mocha oat milk latte. The latte’s are $7 and adding vanilla, mocha, or changing the milk each costs an additional $1 but is so worth it. You can also get them to go! Food is good, portions are small, but I was surprised it did fill me up (I usually eat a lot). The french toast is the best french toast around town. Also the Sands Breakfast is really good— it comes with ciabatta toast and tasty jam. The bacon that comes with the Sands is seasoned to perfection. Our server was very polite, engaged in some conversation with us, and made sure we were satisfied with our care. Definitely coming back here.

    Cute decor, amazing chicken tacos, service was great! Went at lunch time and there were no tables available, they let us sit at the fire pits in the courtyard. Such a cute/unique atmosphere.

    The food is FANTASTIC!!! Went with two friends and we all have picked this as our favorite restaurant now and will return again and again! I ordered the quiche and it was the best I ever had! My friend ordered the French toast and it was incredible!! My other friend ordered the Burger and fries and it was a big juicy burger. The fries were seasoned and flavorful! The atmosphere is amazing. We all noticed that the noise level was very low. It was quiet dinning. The restaurant is as charming as can be from the outside entrance at the door you walk through a beautiful lobby reception area that feels like you are in Maroco. This takes you to a lush tropical garden area to another entrance to the restaurant door. The restaurant gives you the feel of the Beverly Hills Hotel Restaurant. All done in salmon pink with black and white tile floors. Just beautiful!!! Loved the place and now my favorite place in town and will recommend to all my friends too!! The service staff was super nice and very helpful. Please go and experience the best food ever! It's pricey but the food and atmosphere are so worth it!!

    Some trendy places in Palm Springs are good but I leave feeling a little disappointed, like it’s just for photos and the food quality isn’t quite up to par for the price. That is NOT the case for the pink cabana! The cutest restaurant and bar. It is pricey but I was blown away by the food, so much flavor, high quality ingredients, beautiful presentation. The drinks were wonderful and the wine list was impressive. Lovely staff that was super knowledgeable and helped us with our picks. No one was disappointed with our orders. A super photo-worthy location as well, this is now on my list for every stop I make in Palm Springs.

    Great crab roll! The chips could use some salt or seasoning in my opinion. Super cute hotel and space!

    Super cute cabana style bar inside the boutique Sands hotel. Absolutely loved the design of the place and the view of the pool. Two drinks we loved were the cabana colada and the desert rose mojito.

    Beautiful restaurant, totally fits the theme of the Sands Hotel and Spa. Love the cocktails, food was good, service was slow but atmosphere was great so it wasn't an issue. *Fritto Misto-yummy! *Mezze-this was tasty, would totally get it again. Loved the hummus *Wild Mushroom Tagiatelle- was ok. We shared this dish and was just enough for two. Did I say cocktails were yummy?!! We would definitely return. More cocktails to try and would love to explore the menu more... Jackie thank you! You are definitely an asset.

    Superb place for brunch or breakfast. Delicious food with adequate portions. Truly good service. Great and tasty cocktail menu. There's one for every mood (hopefully your cheerful and hungry). Go through hotel lobby and doors to reach the restaurant. Nestled between beautiful trees and garden. Adjacent to pool. It also has fire pits at night. A sin it is to miss this place on your next trip.

    Hidden gem in the heart of the valley. Perfect for a date night or a gathering with friends. I’ve been for breakfast as well and it’s just as amazing. The atmosphere is very special.

    Great atmosphere, great for a little photo opp too (west your cute outfit!), staff was friendly and meal prices were reasonable! Servings were generous with the meals and drinks were so good! We friend the Turkish coffee and oat milk vanilla latte for brunch. We tried the sands breakfast and the quiche!

    We had the mezze plate, steak frites and harissa chicken along with two nonalcoholic cocktails. All the dishes and drinks were delicious. The atmosphere is great and the staff are friendly and professional. We were lucky enough to walk in and get a table during a busy evening.

    There's so much to love about this place! The entire experience of dining here is fantastic from start to finish. The restaurant itself is set off the Hotel's pool, which makes for a beautiful scene as you arrive. The interior design is superb with great attention to detail. The staff at The Pink Cabana is friendly and thoughtful - hosts and servers are attentive without being overbearing. The food is indubitably delicious and interesting and beautifully plated. Drinks are great. Dessert is great. I have a great meal and a great time every time I eat here. Can't recommend highly enough!

    Great experience. We ordered the hummus appetizer, salmon and harissa chicken. Everything was delicious. Drinks were great and they know how to pick the wine list for sure. Eduardo was a great waiter. Very knowledgeable with his recommendations, welcoming and added to the great experience. The decor is breathtaking, very romantic night for us.

    What a fantastic experience! Loved the ambiance, the food and the staff! The calamari was one of the best I've ever enjoyed.

  • 5/5 Brianna G. 8 months ago on Google
    Love the interior decorations! Fun, full on Palm Springs retro vibe. Had higher hopes for the food, but still worth checking out.

  • 5/5 Liz W. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food in a strikingly Palm Springs setting. The Turkish coffee was fantastic, even iced. The avocado toast was delicious. Probably not the best breakfast in the area, but it's good enough and worth it for the gorgeous setting.

  • 4/5 Jenny D. 8 months ago on Google
    Food was delicious and I loved the atmosphere. So cute inside. However the male server I had wasn’t that great, and it’s not like it was busy or anything. Overall it was a nice brunch.

    If you're assuming this is just some hotel restaurant, it's not—the Pink Cabana is an experience of its own. You feel like you're stepping into another world when you come through the heavy arched doorway of the hotel into the lush courtyard that leads into the restaurant. The retro-glam, maximalist decor inside the Pink Cabana will charm the pants off of you—it's absolutely perfect for a cute brunch date. Speaking of brunch, our entire party adored the menu. Strongly recommend the Turkish coffee! Can't speak to the other daily menus but the brunch was divine—especially the French toast and Eggs Benedict. Our server (I think his name was Adrien?) was excellent—attentive, funny, and prompt. We all agreed that the Pink Cabana was a highlight of our trip to Palm Springs‚ and next time we want to stay at The Sands to savor the vibes a little longer!

    Looked decent. Heavy 1940’s Germany vibe when they asked for my personal history and papers to prove it in order to enter. The last time businesses did that in history that country was trying to exterminate a group of people so I guess we’ll start the difficult task of finding a mimosa at another restaurant in Palm Springs on a Sunday

  • 4/5 Lara 7 months ago on Google
    I’ve been wanting to check out this spot for a couple of years and was finally able to during a recent visit to Palm Springs. This place is adorable! We came on a Sunday morning for brunch and I had the turmeric granola with berries, which was very good. My husband had the Sands breakfast which he enjoyed very much. The food is good and seems to be of high quality although I would say you are definitely paying for the fun “Instagram worthy” atmosphere. The service was very good and the staff was friendly and attentive. My one minor complaint would be that the Sands Hotel doesn’t make it easy to find the entrance to the restaurant. There are really no obvious signs posted so we kind of wandered around until we stumbled upon it (as did many other patrons).

  • 4/5 Abby R. 1 year ago on Google
    The main attractions here are definitely the drinks and the atmosphere. Both are exceptional. The food selection is not very broad. There are very limited vegetarian and vegan options. The cabana colada is one of the best drinks I've had ever!

  • 3/5 Laura G. 10 months ago on Google
    The place is pretty, but the food is overpriced and just ok. Went at noon (was charged a reservation fee to use towards lunch), and there were only 3 tables with people, so there was plenty of room to have arrived without the reservation. Ordered the fried squid and olives, which didn't seem to have any seasoning in the batter and was a little bland, unless it was dipped in a lot of sauce. Also ordered the tuna tartine and the chicken sandwich. The tartine was very small, and the chicken in the sandwich looked a little under cooked, but still edible. Was disappointed to see that the salads on the menu do not include chicken or salmon, and adding it costs almost as much as an appetizer.

    This place a little hidden gem. Its located inside a hotel. The lobby has amazing decor and smelled wonderful. The service was perfect. The drinks were amazing

    I got to celebrate my birthday at the Pink cabana and didn’t regret a minute here. Such welcoming and friendly staff, beautiful interior, delicious food ( the best duck ever!!!), birthday complimentary drink and desert . Couldn’t thank enough to my friend for choosing this place.

  • 4/5 Paulina 1 year ago on Google
    If I had to rate the restaurant based on decore I would give it a five. The food was 3.5-4 stars. I feel like the menu could be more creative and portions more generous. I ordered a tuna tartine for 32 dollars and got very few ingredients on top of a grilled bread. The artisan cheese plate was nice so were steak frits. The cocktails were both creative and delicious. The service was mediocre. Our waiter looked overwhelmed and overworked. Looks like he was attending too many tables and the hostess was not greeting us with enthusiasm. From a place of such caliber we expected more.

  • 5/5 Joseph M. 2 years ago on Google
    Normally I'm hesitant coming to places like these. I tend to find the dishes to be expensive and the portions to be tiny leaving me hungry still. I was pleasantly surprised to see how filling their dishes are. I came here with high expectations and they met every single one. The place is very welcoming and wonderful to take photos. Their menu is small but I still enjoyed everything I had there. I got a type of pasta and artisan cheeses and I highly encourage anyone to try it. My waitress was kind and welcoming.

  • 5/5 Stacy C. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely hidden gem in Indian Wells! Beautiful spot. We had the ahi tuna/fried eggplant/caviar appetizer and it was fabulous. Pasta and cauliflower steak dishes were memorable as well. We'll be back!

  • 5/5 Andrew D. 1 year ago on Google
    The Turkish coffee they make at the Pink Cabana was so good that 2 min after I finished breakfast of literally the best strawberry tartine and naan I’ve ever had, I brought my fiancé back to order two more Turkish iced coffees so she could experience it herself… and I could experience it again. Apparently the secret ingredients that make it so insanely good are ginger and coconut. K. If the secret ingredient was asbestos and formaldehyde I’d be like “More please”. If the head chef or barista or whatever decided to set up shop in LA, I imagine Blue Bottle, Philz, Starbucks and Coffee Bean would have to set aside their differences and ally to craft the ultimate caffeinated beverage cause if not they’d all go out of business over night. That’s how good this shizz is. Try it. Then weep all the way back to wherever you’re vacationing from cause you won’t be able to have it every day.

    Most adorable, trendy, chic little gem in the desert. A place for influencers and anyone who loves a chic little getaway for lunch or dinner. Wonderful grounds, food and top notch service and drinks. We will be hosting a private occasion there in June.

👍👍 We found this spot hiding in the corner of a strip mall. The atmosphere is great and like a little escape from what is around that area. Great service and the food was so great! Hard to get good Indian food but this place will now be a family favorite!! Great service!! Did I say that already! Thanks...
