Reviews for French Miso Café in Palm Springs, CA

Outdoor dinner during a stay for Joshua Tree National Park. The menu rotates every few weeks. App - mushroom soup with truffle... oil. Chock full of mushroom bits in decent sized bowl. Felt full & was glad there was some rest time before the maincourse. Main - Asian sea bass, which was really a rock/white fish. Generous portion again & the skin was nicely seared & thefennel confit had a pickly taste that nicely balanced out the fish. Dessert - cheesecake with blueberry sauce; perfectly creamywithout it being overly sweet or rich. Drink - Arnold Palmer; just the right blend of tea & tart lemonade Service - attentivewithout hovering Very satisfying dining experience! Read more

What a special little place! The setting is absolutely beautiful (we sat outside) and the staff was very wonderful and... attentive. I imagine that the owner is always there but she?s a very special lady and I hope other patrons have a chance tointeract with her. All of our meals were delicious and I thought everything was very fairly priced for the quality and size! Read more

Disappointing experience. Had reservations for inside for brunch, but we were seated outside. In addition to the heat, there are... samm flies outside that interfere with the experience. After 20 mins of waiting we were notified that they are out of the itemswe ordered ( croissant and quiche), so we had to order again. Read more

The restaurant's situated within a beautiful alley. We were greeted by the friendliest staff who shared the story behind the... restaurant name and provided excellent service ensuring we are well attended to. The salad croutons is the best I've had and therest of the food were good. Read more

What a lovely place for lunch! Tomoko and her husband Eric were so welcoming and so were their staffs. I thoroughly enjoyed my... Kalbi, and the rest of the group enjoyed theirs, Quiche (a little under cooked) and Tuna Mix Nicoise, as well. Our serverStephan did a wonderful job! We'll be back/Nous reviendrons/??????????

Good: - Beautiful outdoor seating, there are heat lamps too! - friendly service - our server as well as the other server in our... area checked in on us regularly and were incredibly kind and accommodating - solid flavors - see below for details Not sogood: - service felt a bit rushed - food was coming out before we were done w our course and then our unfinished food waswhisked away without asking if we were done - food was good but had some unfortunate shortcomings - details below Details onthe food: - Amuse was just tofu in soy sauce with some toppings that didn?t deepen the flavor. - Ravioli was fine, very creamy -mussels (probably my favorite thing we ate) were really well cooked with a creamy Thai curry sauce that was very tasty. -chicken was good but forgettable. The chicken itself was a bit small, felt like about half a thighs worth. The sauce was a bitoily and sweet for my liking. - Short ribs were a huge disappointment. The veggies and mashed potatoes were good, mostlybuttery. The meat looked gorgeous and substantial on the plate. It?s flavor was very nice, but I took multiple bites that werepurely fat. When I took the time to separate the fat from the meat, I was astonished to find that more than half of the cut wasfat. I left the fat sitting on the plate, but it was not addressed by staff. - The mousse was off tonight, but the staff wasaware and prefaced the course saying they already knew the texture wasn?t right. Aside from the texture though, the flavors werebalanced and refined. Once they figure out the issue, I?m sure it?ll be a lovely end to the meal. Read more

What a great little place! Tucked in a pedestrian alley to the west of Indian Canyon sits this quaint little cafe with an... Asian/French fusion cuisine menu. Your choice of indoor or outdoor seating. The outdoor seats do have umbrellas for shade. Theservice is good and the menu is concise and focused. They have different menus for brunch on the weekends. I ordered adeconstructed chicken Caesar salad called Chicken Paillard which was a half wedge of romaine covered in absolutely deliciousCaesar dressing with shaved Parmesan and a very flattened, grilled chicken breast seasoned with thyme and other herbs that wasquite good. Also has a solid selection of adult beverages and a comforting and cozy environment. Highly recommended. Read more
