Azúcar Restaurant and Bar (21 & Over)

Joel Humphrey

I dined here with some friends for lunch, and it was really disappointing. The waitstaff and bar staff saved the day, they were amazing, but otherwise it didn’t stand out as a place that I, nor anyone else in my party, would return to. The drinks were creative and interesting, but the food was barely mediocre. We also waited over 90 minutes for our food from the (very limited) lunch menu. It shouldn’t take that long for a salad, an order of tacos, and three orders of lettuce wraps to come to the table. The staff were friendly and apologetic, and offered us an extra appetizer or a dessert for the table on the house, which was great, even though we weren’t in a rush or complaining about the delay. Everything changed when the GM stopped by the table. She chatted us up, but once the food finally arrived, she told us that we had to leave the table within about 20 minutes, as she had another reservation, but we were welcome to continue to sit at another table and have cocktails. She made no secret of blaming everyone but herself for her poor management, and went as far as to excuse herself from the table to go fire “the new guy out back”. That was kind of shocking and very inappropriate, I don’t think that any member of our party will ever be back. The food was also bad, but I would have been more forgiving if the GM hadn’t been so nasty. I had a lettuce wrap- the chicken was over cooked and flavorless, and the lettuce “wrap” was so soggy that it couldn’t even hold the contents. Palm Springs has far better options, don’t waste your time here.

We came to Azúcar for dinner and it was great! The staff was very friendly and the blood orange margarita is a must try. One of our favorite meals and experiences in Palm Springs by far!

Great service and lovely views on the rooftop. But unfortunately the food was a bit bland and overpriced for what it was :(

Luxurious and calm restaurant/hotel. Upscale and intimate. The watermelon margarita is very refreshing. The guacamole, salsa and corns chips were very delicious and refreshing for the Palm Springs heat. The chefs penne pesto pasta was absolutely mouthwatering. The feta cheese on top made it perfect. The cauliflower pesto risotto was a sheer delight. So flavorful. You'll want more. The surf and turf was delicious.
