"**Date of Visit:** Sunday, September 3rd **Time:** From 6:15 PM **Seating:** We were seated in a lovely booth by the window with a southward view of the San Jacinto Mountains. **Hosts:** Unfortunately, I didn’t catch the name of the main host due to minimal interaction. However, Adam stood out as the most attentive host. His professionalism and teamwork truly made a difference. **Staffing Issues:** I observed four problematic staff members, with three of them directly impacting our experience. One had served us during a previous visit, adding to the negative impression. **Facility:** The restaurant itself is impressive, there's no doubt about that. **Food:** The food was also impressive, particularly the sea bass. However, when the server and the greeter approached our table, they failed to explain the dish properly and displayed a lack of eye contact and rushed speech. Their demeanor suggested they were time-pressed and somewhat irritated, which was disappointing. **Suggestions:** Tips should ideally be given in sealed envelopes to ensure that they go directly to deserving individuals. The best host, Adam, deserves recognition, while others who are less attentive should not benefit from his hard work. Our initial visit was exactly what we anticipated, but following a few recent visits, I’ve noticed a troubling trend regarding the service towards my guests and me. Each dining experience seemed to deteriorate, reflecting a lack of fervor from the staff. One host in particular seemed focused on certain tables, providing them with excellent service—frequent refills and enjoyable conversation—while our table received service that felt cafeteria-like at best. When I requested black pepper for our salads, we had nearly finished before she returned, only to ask if we needed anything. I had to remind her about the pepper, and even then, she took her time addressing the needs of other patrons before attending to us. Drink service was inconsistent, with requests needing to be specifically directed to her, no matter where she was. Even coffee service left much to be desired; my second cup was only half-full and unceremoniously served. The service at our table felt lacking, making me pine for a better experience elsewhere. To the management of this establishment: please hire staff who leave their negative attitudes at the door. Your customers deserve the five-star treatment that your talented chefs and inviting atmosphere promise. Unfortunately, some frontline employees overshadow the commendable efforts of your culinary team. I had originally planned to host a special 20-person dinner party here; however, I must now seek a venue willing to provide the attentive service my guests and I deserve, even if it costs twice as much. I refuse to allow the low professionalism of a few individuals to make my guests feel unwelcome. In conclusion, your restaurant has potential, but a few frontline representatives do not meet the standard. Based on my experiences, I cannot return. If your goal is to deter customers like me, then you’ve succeeded. The hospitable nature of a staff member like Adam was the only reason we stayed; his attentiveness and dedication to customer service are qualities that are truly commendable. He could thrive in any top-tier restaurant. Thank you, Adam, for enhancing our dining experience with your efforts while we enjoyed our calamari."

"Cielo is a go to steakhouse for us when we are in the Palm Springs area The service is hands down one of the best you can ask for in a steakhouse. The steaks and seafood are always fresh and of high quality. It is a restaurant that has a well trained staff that takes the time to do the extra steps for you. The food is prepared as well as a steakhouse can offer. Prime beef with age on it brings out the best flavors possible one of our managers came from Nebraska and commented that she had the same quality when she was living there. We look forward to things getting back to normal one day and having table side service. It was great to see that the dress code is held for those who wander up to restaurant. The server offered us a screaming deal on the feature and a bottle of wine that was a no brainer to go for. Glad we plan ahead and make our reservation because they are busy all night Thank you Cielo for being so consistent and staying with your high standards. Until next month"

"The journey from Phoenix back to OC is a really long haul. Long distances of nothing. Wide open desert scenes flash while you drive the 10 Freeway home. When you reach Palm Springs/Indio, it's like you arrive in a mega metropolis. Most people would probably stop here, stretch their legs, take something to eat and come back to the street. We had another goal. We drove past the larger desert towns to Banning, and a restaurant I had on my list of places to eat, Crazy Coyote Tacos. Crazy Coyote is not even really a restaurant. It is more like a bow, right in front of the highway, near the Cabazon outlet stores. Anthony Bourdain ate here. On the show he eats outside, but never mentions the food. They used to have dinosaurs in front, but they were nowhere to see when we showed up on a Saturday afternoon. After we donated some routes, we drove to the order window. The basic menu featuring"

"**Dine-in Experience: Brunch** **Price Range per Person: $20–$30** **Food Rating: 3/5** **Service Rating: 3/5** **Atmosphere Rating: 3/5** I recently visited the restaurant for brunch and found my experience to be fairly average. The food was decent but didn’t leave a lasting impression. The service was satisfactory, though nothing stood out as exceptional. The atmosphere of the place was also just okay—it lacked a unique charm that could elevate the overall experience. Overall, it was a reasonable outing, but not one I would be eager to repeat anytime soon."
