🚫 Palm Springs' Overhyped Dining Letdown – Trio Restaurant Review

📍 Trio Restaurant Palm Springs Downtown This chaotic, overbooked spot proves high ratings don’t guarantee quality – where under-seasoned pasta, confused service, and strawberry syrup cocktails leave you wishing you’d picked In-N-Out. 🏆 Why It Disappoints ✖ Identity crisis: Mexican-spiced seafood + bare pasta = no fusion harmony ✖ Noise levels: Echoey patio = yelling over cocktails ✖ Wait times: 30+ minutes for food after 40-minute reservation delay 🥂 What We Suffered Through 🍝 Seafood Pasta ($28) ★☆☆☆☆ Dry noodles, unseasoned scallops, zero sauce – fridge-leftover vibes. 🐚 Steamed Shellfish ($26) ★★☆☆☆ Clams + mussels, chili-ground meat broth – Taco Bell meets the ocean. 🥩 Coulotte Steak ($32) ★★★☆☆ Overcooked beef, decent chimichurri, sad fries – fine but forgettable. 🍹 Forever Marilyn ($16) ★☆☆☆☆ Artificial strawberry, cheap vodka, regret in a glass. 💡 Brutally Honest Tips ✔ Best for: Pre-gaming drinks ( skip the food!) ✔ Order nothing: Eat tacos at Tac/Quila first ✔ Skip if: You value peace, flavor, or $60 💰 Damage: ~$60-80 per person ( for sadness) #PalmSpringsEats #DiningFail #TouristTrap
