| The whole idea of this glamorous nightspot, which also has locations in Walnut Creek and San Diego, might have been dreamed up for this locale. After all, Crosby was a popular desert figure both on the golf courses and in Palm Springs nightclubs, and the sleek '30s and '40s nostalgia fits well with the mid-century Modernist design style the Palm Springs area has claimed as its own. The owners describe the food as “California country club,” but it is the best sort of country club, safe but not stuffy, sporting French, Italian and Asian touches. The barbecued duck crêpes are a satisfying appetizer, while the lamb three ways (grilled, roasted and braised) would satisfy even the hungriest golfer. For dessert, there's a platter of fresh fruits and imported cheeses for the health-conscious, while those who aren't worried about calories might indulge in the crème brûlée de quad---featuring four flavors---or coffee and donuts, with cinnamon sugar beignets and mocha ice cream cappuccino. The wine list leans heavily on California vintners, and offers some impressive choices, from Kosta Browne and Bonaccorsi Pinot Noirs to Quintessa, Opus One and Rubicon Meritage bottles. |
