King's Highway - Palm Springs

Dinner outdoors (pet friendly) canvas shaded terrace was relaxing for a weekday evening. Beautiful view of the pool, hotel room, lounge, bar, under the huge palms and as the night darkened, a fantastic sky full of stars

Walked in for dinner for one. Restaurant was only about 25% occupied. Tables were set up for diners, including the full counter that was empty. I was told it would be a 30-45min wait due to prior reservations. Sure, no problem. 30 minutes later, no reservations came in and no one was sat. Also, no tables left. I was then seated. During my entire time dining the restaurant was never more than 25% occupied. Perhaps understaffed which I understand, but don’t lie about it. I also saw employees standing around, so who knows. The cocktail I ordered was delicious! I started with a beet salad that was good. I love getting artisan food in a classic looking restaurant. For the entree I opted for the chicken sandwich. Please don’t get it. Small chicken breast, fried until all the moisture was gone, and served on a generic hamburger bun. The fries were hot, but the portion was small. This same dish could of been served at a bowling alley or at a bar. I expected more from Kings Hideaway. I ordered dessert to go. The key lime pie was forgettable.

Visited here with friend for late dinner Thursday and I was immediately impressed by the decor. I loved the layout of the restaurant with the old-fashioned yet modern minimalist look, it reminded me of a 50 bowl alley restaurant only completely cleaned, revised and upgraded with 2020s Vibes. The server was very friendly and made an excellent job, although it was just us and another table at the time and I would have appreciated it to fill my soda again without having to ask, although this is a minor complaint. I looked into the bar and the interior design was very cool looking and unlike anything I've seen before. I didn't get the chance to stay in one of their rooms or use their pool, but at the next visit to Palm Springs, I'll go out of my way. The menu was very small maybe a total of 12 items? My friend had an orange wine I had never seen before. If you are a Hamburg lover / connoisseur, then definitely try their burgers it was rich and tasty and tasteful maybe almost too rich, but this is not a compliment just a speculation. It was one of the best burgers I ever had. Cooked to perfection if you like medium rarely anyway what I do! This is a must for every guest or living in Palm Springs

Very reasonable prices, food was great and very fresh. The service was also good. Place looked clean and busy, went there for late lunch and would come back anytime!

Classic Route 66 Diner vibes at King’s Highway at The Ace Hotel. They serve lunch/breakfast until 2:00 and then change to dinner. I went for a late breakfast and tried her breakfast Burrito. It's a bit (I'm at that hole in the walls in SoCal) but the Burrito overall was very delicious! Solid comfort food.
