Here at Bootlegger Tiki we stand for good old fashioned fun! We can't imagine anything better than quality time spent with friends over delicious tiki cocktails made with equal measure of rum + fruit + love. Located in the same space as the original Don the Beachcomber restaurant that opened in 1953, we are fortunate to inherit an incredible piece of Palm Springs history and want to uphold the tiki traditions that were originally built here - craft cocktails, good friends and a couple of giant tiki torches thrown in for good measure.

    Pomme Frite consistently wins awards as one of the best restaurants of its type in the region, with accolades for its food, service, and setting. Our most recent visit was during an early evening, where we sat on the shaded patio and enjoyed multiple courses from the menu of distinctive dishes for all palates. The service was friendly and efficient, and everything related to our time there was "just right." We always look forward to dining at Pomme Frite, enjoy ourselves (and delight any guests!) with the experience, and pleasantly recall all dimensions of the time we spend, there.

    We had excellent food at the restaurant and great service, we couldn't have asked for more. It was quiet as it was a late lunch but I'm sure it's more lively at other times. Definitely worth visiting!
