About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for special occasions
A chic and sophisticated décor provides the setting for our distinctive "world cuisine", a provocative mix of zesty influences that creates a delightful dining experience in Palm Springs, California. Plush high-backed semicircular banquettes surround our dining room and offer comfortable and private seating. The cuisine has a light, exotic feel with an emphasis on Pacific Rim specialties, from Chilean Sea Bass baked in Banana Leaves or Kahlua-Barbecued Pork Chops to all sorts of tasty tapas, salads, wood-fired pizzas, and desserts. The Coral Seas Lounge, a hip mid-century style bar is lined with sexy black leather bar-stools and is reminiscent of the upbeat lounges of old Palm Springs. It wraps around the dining room and leads outside to a lush, tropical, 2000 square foot dining patio where a variety of specialty cocktails and old-school favorites are mixed - an ideal place where friends gather and martinis are sipped under the starlit desert sky.

    We went to Tropicale for the first time for my birthday. Great ambiance. Great service. We were the only people in the dining room. Everyone was at the bar for happy hour. Portions were large. We have enough leftovers for two more meals.

    Another wonderful Brunch at Tropicale. We celebrated a friends Birthday and everyone took the time and attention to make it great celebration for our friends. A special thanks to Randz, Ashley, and Andy for always making it special on any occasion whether it’s just and bite or a celebration. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Tropicale is on our rotation as a place to go for dinner, especially when we have out-of-town guests. The restaurant's decor is gorgeous, from the beautifully wallpapered and scone-lighted dining room to the stellar copies of Matson Line Luxury Cruise murals on the walls of the bar. The outdoor dining area is also beautiful, but it was simply too hot to sit out there this time of year. Our server was very good and very attentive, as were the server's helpers. They were always there when you needed something and before you had to ask, but out of sight when we were talking or eating. I was with a couple of friends who are very unadventurous diners, so while we stuck with very familiar dishes (fried chicken, Cobb salad, Shrimp Louie) the dishes are done with flair that takes them up a notch by their attractive presentation and imaginative preparation. So once again, Tropicale did not disappoint. We had a lovely dinner in a delightful atmosphere.

    Tropicale is a fabulous place to enjoy good food and cocktails in a beautiful setting. Its tropical vibe really makes you feel like you’re far far away from the bustle of the day. A desert oasis not to miss!!
