Reviews for The Restaurant @ Two Bunch Palms in Desert Hot Springs, CA

My wife and I have experienced many outstanding restaurants domestically and internationally, and found the kitchen at TBP to be... exceptional. The food is objectively excellent, beautiful and well executed. Highly recommend the Kimchi Carbonara and JidoriChicken on their dinner menu—we both absolutely loved the unique flavors and creative spin on these classics. The staff areall so friendly and professional! Read more

Really enjoyed the Vegan dishes, though I also eat meat, this was a nice healthy brake. The cream of broccoli soup without... cream or cheese was superb bursting with flavor of broccoli. Also had a delicious oyster mushroom & potatoes. Beet salad wasexcellent too, server suggested added greens which made it even better. My only complaint is it's quite pricey for what you get,but it's a gorgeous property, so I imagine something has to go for that. It's a lot of stairs to go up to the restaurant, greatview, enjoy.

Food was good but I wish they have sides on the main course. The service was phenomenal, fast and our waiter was good. I like... the simple decor, minimalist restaurant. Read more

The food tasted very fresh and it was good. Some of the people in my group loved it, while some said it was okay. The menu in... the restaurant doesn't match the pictures or what's on the site. A little disappointing to see waffles on the website and nowaffles on the actual menu. The server was very nice but messed up a couple orders, apologized and corrected it. The view wasamazing and the restaurant was clean. Overall it was an okay experience. Read more

We had a birthday lunch for my husband and wanted something different. Essense provided just that. We walked through the... tranquil grounds so get to the restaurant. We passed a meditation pool and saw people engaged in tai chi. The beautiful palmtree were inviting and cooling. The restaurant was open and calm. I had a burger with parmesan fries. My husband had the salmon.Both meals were delicious! Best yet, it was organic and flavorful. We sat by the window and had an amazing view. Read more

Great restaurant! Loved the gluten free waffles and salads! I didn't stay at this resort but came for the lunch after a day soak... at another property because the menu looked so good and wasn't disappointed! Great professional staff, have me a table outsideso I could have a business call while I dined alone. Read more

Essence Restaurant is located at Two Bunch Palms (a natural mineral spa & silent yoga/ therapy retreat.) The property offers... natural hot springs; a place to unwind & heal ...away from the grind of the city. I am quite snobbish about where I dine; Ireally love Essence. I love the decor, the menu, the simplicity, the service, and the entertainment. The menu & dishes arehighly suitable for vegans & vegetarians ,and yet will not disappoint carnivores. One of the best restaurants I've been to in &around Palm Desert. Read more

This place has a great and quiet atmosphere and the food, although pricey, is great. I had the fingerling breakfast potatoes and... they melted in my mouth. If you're not a healthy eater and appreciate very little salt and sugar in your dishes, then this isthe place e got you. I loved it. Read more
