    "Probably the best “craft cocktail” bar in Palm Desert. Small, so plan ahead, or have a backup. Cheeseburger is excellent, and _definitely_ get the tater tots. (Filthy is my favorite.)"

    "Upgrade the traditional margarita from the well tequila and you get a very good margarita for a fair price. One of the best I’ve found in Palm Desert."

    "I always get the Manhattan, and I'm never disappointed. Yes, it's a bit expensive—it's SFO. Quality and consistency are worth paying for. (Drink at another airport was terrible, and twice the price.)"

    "I did the Houdini Room with ~seven other people. Good room for a slightly larger team. Definitely requires diverse thinking and problem-solving styles. _Great_ team-building exercise!"
