Went back to visit this location again. They had the same great service and food as before. The happy hour had good priced drinks and excellent crab cakes and scallops. The best thing was the friendly bartender, very nice to guests. The bar is at the villa royale inn, located in the pool courtyard and it is very romantic.

Recently re-visited this fabulous restaurant in Palm Springs. It's located in the Villa Royale Inn at 1620 S. Indian Trail. The view is breath-taking and the atmosphere is charming. The Chef already has a grand selection of items on the menu but new items have arrived! I would highly recommend the flatbread pizza with duck - yummy! We also had... More

We had breakfast here one morning because Cheeky's was closed. We discovered this was just as good. In fact the outside under the trees dining has a more enjoyable atmosphere than Cheeky's. The food is terrific! Excellent all around.

Very pretty, lovely food, attentive service. Saturday night was very busy and mostly empty on Sunday. It's a better atmosphere with more people

Get specific directions as this place is tucked away, no hidden, in a side street. Also watch your step as you walk into the place if night time as it can be tricky. once you are inside this amazing place with different side rooms, you can count on great service and amazing food. The oso bucco, the fish, the dessert... More

We stayed at the Villa Royale Inn and decided to try their restaurant the Europa. We were not disappointed. This place is excellent. Our food came out hot and perfectly prepared. To make the point we ended eating here the next night. Over two nights my wife and I ate Lake Superior White Fish, Seafood Soup, Crab Cakes, Filet Mignon,... More

This was by far a disappointment.Returning after two years,sadly it's not the same place at all. Service was mediocre at best. Orders were mixed up and came to the table on the cool side. Just a very disappointing production and an absolutely beautiful. VERY disheartening.

I recently wrote about the pathetic downward slide of the hotel. Do not stay there! DO dine there. Terrific food. Very upscale and continental. Relaxing and delicious. Breakfasts are served to hotel guests in a buffet style. Horrid steamers of tasteless scrambled eggs, greasy bacon, or dry oatmeal. Warm fruit salad of underripe fruit, and piles of cold toast.
