trio restaurant

any place but trio. after reading many reviews for thisrestaurantwe took our neighbor for a special birthday dinner. we were more than disappointed. first, the banquet is way too low making it awkward to eat. we all ordered from the prix fixe menu, but were told that two of the items were no longer available and after taking the order the waitress returned to say that another item was changed. the fried artichoke appetizer was obviously from a can. no staff ever refilled our water glasses. the sweet pea and lemon ravioli entree was watery; the israeli couscous was undercooked, some bits totally raw and the cole slaw accompanying the fish sandwich had an off taste. dessert was served without asking beforehad if anyone wanted coffee and when the coffee was served it was 10 minutes after dessert was served. the coffee refill was cold. all in all.... after spending much time deciding where to take our neighbor, we could have gone to a chainrestaurantand had a much better dinner.

four of us all ordered the 3 course prix fixe. a three course meal for $19.99. all had seperate entree's, main meals and deserts.

i enjoyed my first course of soy ceviche and second course of trio angus burger with blue cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, brioche bun, french fries. i was disapointed with the french fries. to serve mcdonald's shoe lace type fries, does therestauranta disservice, and for all i know this is where they may have come from.

the 3rd course of an ice cream sundae, was really delicious.

a friend commented that she felt rushed to order, once the server knew we were having the 3 course meal. i felt the server was doing her job and have no complaints other than the fries.

this is probably the last time we will visit trio. there are far more that we can dine at.

they say that trio is ‘where palm springs eats.’ sure enough, shortly after i arrived, some locals i had met came in for dinner. therestaurantis located on palm canyon in the uptown design district. i sat inside this time, but the outside tables were great for those who like to people watch and enjoy fresh air. it gets crowded, so reservations are definitely recommended. at my inside table, i had a good view of their large art collection featuring local artists. the atmosphere is loud, fun and full of energy.

triorestaurantpalm springs ca. wonderful food, great service!!!
always consistently great
also mark and tony (owners) are the most philanthropic guys. i don't know how they do it, but they seem to have their names in tons of charities for either money or sponsors of lunches to raise money for local charities in the desert.

need new wait staff. wow, after wait 20 mins at our table we left. hostess seated us and brought us menus, water guy brought water....and we languished.

everyone served (who arrived after us!) and we were just ignored repeatedly. we left. nothing can be that good.

i have to say i was also put off by their little note at the bottom of the menu: please email us instead of anonymously posting on yelp. well you knowrestaurantowner, this isn't just for you...this is to also provide advice to future customers.

excellent meal & service. we had two really delicious meals at trio. the menu is varied and the service was excellent. we really enjoyed the vibe and ambience of therestauranttoo. great place.
