Always stop by for their Date Shake. If you've never had one I highly recommend swinging by. It's so good.

Good food and great for breakfast. There are inside and outdoor tables. It is pretty busy on weekends, 45 minute wait for an outdoor table.

I loved this place. We were seated outside in this large pavilion area with fantastic lighting and greenery all around. Service was great and attentive, and my Sante Fe omelette was one of the better omelets that I have had in my life. Side of toast, potatoes, and perfect amount of spice. Menu was also extensive, my one complaint was not being able to try more items on the menu. Next time I go, I will definitely choose to go sweet, but it will be challenging not to go back to savory with the fantastic egg dishes! By the way, get the freshly squeezed orange juice.

Had the pleasure of stopping by to check out the gift shop and Cafe. Unfortunately, there were horrific rain squalls coming through, so we just watched the movie, had a FANTASTIC Date Shake, and bought some date crystals and an assortment of dates. What a great history! We'll be back!

I would have never guessed this beautiful restaurant was behind this old looking white building! We had a lovely breakfast with extended family; twelve people in our party. Outdoor seating at 10 am in March was perfect. Beautiful garden to admire. Everyone enjoyed their food. I had the chicken and waffles. The chicken tenders were slightly over-battered and dry. Waffle was perfect, crisp, and fluffy. Portion was perfect for my daughter and I to share. My other kids ordered from kids menu, pancake and French toast with fruit. Again, generous portion. French toast was thick and delicious. Pancake was 2 large Micky Mouse pancakes. It came with variety of fresh, delicious fruit. Sorry, I didn't get pictures of the food because it looked so good and we were starving!

Beautiful spot nestled into the desert oasis. Outdoor seating for most. Service was amazing, and it was busy. The walk was nice and the shop has tons of goodies. The food was amazing. We started with the stuffed, bacon wrapped dates...delish! Chicken and waffles were outstanding. Highly recommended, enjoy!Parking: If it's busy, there's a dirt lot adjacent to the restaurant.

Had a date shake and after 20 + years of delicious shake, the recipe changed. Not as good. Miss the dates.

Staff was nice. Thought people should know their rating not meeting minimum sanitary standards. Didn’t want to risk getting food poisoning. Asked to see their inspection report and it wasn’t provided.
