Trattoria Tiramisu Palm Desert — Restaurant in Palm Desert

We are locals and for the last 8 years would always go here for special occasions. The three stars is because the atmosphere is still wonderful, and the serving staff is very good. However, the last 3 times here the food was not as good as in the past. I always double check online menus before dining out. This time the online menu was not the same as the actual restaurant menu. The dish I was going to order was listed online but not on the menu anymore (a specialty of this restaurant for years). In the past all entrees had included vegetables, but the actual restaurant menu had some entrees with included veggies, but many entrees had veggies listed as $8 "add ons". As for the food, the last 3 visits were just not as good as in years gone by. The fish I ordered was always fantastic, but the last time I had it here (it was still on the menu), it was lacking the same incredible flavor - was bland. Two times ago, I had ordered the chicken. Again, the flavor was wonderful in the past, this time, that same flavor was not there, it was bland. On our last visit I had the spinach, which was the best I have ever had - was like a creamed spinach with an incredible flavor. This time was more like frozen spinach with garlic (which is good), but, no flavor. In the past, the tiramisu was incredible and a reasonable portion! This time, it was hard to find the little bit of cake that was buried under the mountain of...

We went to this restaurant and ordered San Pellegrino and instead got a navy blue bottle and they said that it was made by San Pellegrino which tasted nothing like that. We also ordered a $40 Pinot Noir which they let us taste and after tasting said it was fine but the waiter took the bottle away and brought us another bottle which was already halfway. I thought this switcheroo was very odd. I had fish which was way over priced $43 to be exact and not the whole fish I thought I was getting. Also I am pretty sure the fish was frozen. Place is way overpriced for the very small portions you get. Wouldn't have minded if the food was good. I am so surprised ithas some good reviews. I guess those people don't care about good food. Never going back again. Thank you but...

The food was very good, but our server was terrible. He was so busy chatting with others that he didn’t follow up with service to us. I asked for decaf coffee with cream. He spilled half of the coffee onto the saucer and served it to me that way. He didn’t bring cream and when I reminded him he went on to chat with the nearby table and it took 10 minutes to get the cream. We ordered dessert and after 15 minutes he came back and asked if there was anything else. We told him we were waiting for dessert snd he said he forgot and it took another 15 to get it. This waiter is s a disservice to the restaurant. It’s now 2am and I can’t get to sleep because he gave me regular coffee....
