Very crowded, but excellent service. Got seated immediately, with the wait staff attentive and courteous. The food was the best I've had in the desert, for consistency, price point, and service. Excellent dining experience, and highly recommend this restaurant as a former partner in one of of America's restaurants. The $19.95 three-course dinner is a bargain.
Incredible new addition to The River! Warm, friendly and great food. Something for everyone on the menu. Beautiful renovation of the place too! Light, airy, comfortable and really takes advantage of the view! So many great things on the menu it's hard to list a favorite, but the soups and raviolis all got raves at our table. We'll be back very soon!
Love the kitschy, roomy feel with the gorgeous view of the shopping center. The pop art and bright colors carryover Lulu's charm from Palm Springs, and fans of Lulu's menu would be delighted at the location's offerings. The customer service is fast, sincerely accommodating, and superb. As a person with food allergies, I received top quality service and care. Would go again
The food and the service were fantastic. It is as if they never left. I would highly recommend this restaurant to everybody. The new dining room and patios and the decor are beautiful and peaceful give it a try you'll be happy you did
What an amazing restaurant; outstanding menu; excellent and accommodating staff...they did everything they could to make our special day even more special! Thanks to Jerry and Barbara Keller for making Rancho Mirage even better with Acqua California Bistro!!!!
Thanks to the Kellers for reopening Acqua!
Have enjoyed breakfast, brunch, and lunch there numerous times already since you reopened and we have enjoyed every single vist!
The food, service, and expanded space make each visit an enjoyable one!
I will return very soon for breakfast. The Joy Silver brunch was not only organized, the buffet was appealing to the eye and delicious! Amiable staff.
Beautiful space, plus outdoor dining on the River. Great service and amazing food at a very fair price point.
Great, vibrant, bright space. Friendly staff and delicious food! Not to mention the view from the patio.
Eggplant Parmigiana was finely shaved and fantastic, the roasted half chicken; cooked perfectly and deboned, the lobster salad, one word, “amazing”, and the chicken piccata had its garnish of capers and lemons!
Desserts? “But, of course!” Cremebrulee, flourless chocolate, cake
Tiramisu, bread pudding and a puff-pastry Napoleon...

Fantastic location, menu, service and ambiance! I highly recommend it!
The Keller’s have gone above and beyond - amazing! I will be adding this to the list of restaurants to take my clients too. Kudos!
Great brunch location! I had the blueberry crepes and they were incredibly delicious!! Our wait staff was attentive and friendly. So nice to have such a great restaurant so close to home!
I have a conflict of interest here. If I tell the world how fabulous Acqua California Bistro is, will the world beat a path to their door? Said path might leave me without a seat at the table, staring wistfully through the window. The good news is that I probably hold little sway on how the world 🌎 beats it's path. So, I will push my own self interests aside and tell you that I am back in HEAVEN now that the Keller's have opened Aqua. Seriously. The food is fabulous...the waitstaff on the ball...the ambience exciting...the art work by Barbara Keller's 105 (!) year old father a pop-art feast and so, I will let the world que up for all Acqua has to offer. Be warned, however,that I may cut in line!
Great service and friendly staff. Beautiful outdoor seating and food was delicious. Plan on going back soon!
I was floored by the wonderful menu and the ambience! Wish there was one in L.A!
The ambiance alone is so delightful, service impeccable and with smiles...the best cold soups and entrees, a total pleasure for ALL the senses...
Thanks KELLARS !
Great food, fun atmosphere, friendly service and a great view. Great addition to the River!
The food is excellent and the service is good. The view is fantastic.
Have waited so long for Acqua to open...and it was worth the wait!!! Love everything about it and will be dining there often in the future...Welcome home!!!
You will NOT walk away hungry here! Perfect combination of price, ambiance, service and quality food.
I love the decor, excellent customer service, delicious food and plenty to choose from, nice ambience. I had dinner and went back the next day for lunch. Great experience
LOVED IT!! Glad they are open again. Renovations look amazing. The food was extremely yummy!
They have an extensive Brunch 3-course menu!!
Service was great! Will deffinitely be back!
Great food and service at the Stan Lee Dinner! I would eat here again!
Over all good experience. The food wasnt the best. You could tell food had been sitting under a heat lamp. Didn't taste or look fresh. Service was quick but felt rushed .
Somehow I accidentally deleted my review. I'll rewite it. Our servers, Melissa and Kai were amazing, we had a great time. The food was perfect. Every order was spot on and they were very attentive. Also accommodating to my 100 year old grandmother. We had 28 people who are usually hard to please, but everyone had a glowing review. I had meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Others had salmon and chicken piccata. And the soup was great. I had mushroom soup and others had tomato bisque. We had a wonderful time!
This place did not disappoint. Decided to get the weekend brunch deal and it was definitely worth it. I had the Cesar salad, strawberry waffle, and finished it off with tiramisu. The strawberry sauce on the waffle was a little too sweet but still delicious. The tiramisu was perfect I only wish I had more room to eat more. I highly recommend this place. It was clean, the decor was nice and the food was delicious.

This place has amazing gluten free food! The menu for gluten free was huge! I wish I could have tried everything, but instead, I limited myself to trying 6 things. First, the staff was helpful with my many questions regarding the food, (a special shiut out to Lulu, my amazing waitress!), they were calm, welcoming, and courteous. I tried the artichoke dip with GF chips, it had gooey cheese and chunks of artichoke, plenty to share with 4 people. The main course I tried were the braised short ribs and the chicken Florentine. The meat fell off of the bone it was was so soft. The seasonal veggies, were carrots and asparagus, which were stramed to the point of leaving the outside soft, and the inside a bit harder, so perfect! The chicken Florentine was stuffed with tomatoes, a delicate goat cheese, and spinach, with a mushroom sauce on top. Served with a side of real red mashed potatoes. It was heaven. For desert we went crazy and got 3! First, the creme brule, caramelized top, with a rich creamy custard underneith. Second, was the chocolate cake, a dense, rich, chocolate with a raspberry drizzle. And finally we got the cotton candy, because why not! We bagged it to go and snacked on it while we went for a walk around the river. We found a new favorite restaurant where I can eat other things besides a salad!
The food was surprisingly, very good. Mushroom soup, wow. Mushroom tower thing, wow. Gf and low carb options, wow. Impressed. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable. Happy we stopped here. Don't let the "not so luxury" feel, deceive you. The other restaurants around might have a more cozy feel, fancy feel... This place is very good. That's all. And yoo, the espresso Martini, mmmmm good.
I enjoyed my visit to Acqua California Bistro. The food was fresh, the waitstaff was attentive and the restaurant is clean and nicely decorated. I was with a party of four and we chose to sit outside. Highway 111 is not far away but how they have it set up you only see the vehicles if you chose to look but you do not hear them.
I had the fresh Ahi Poke and my lunchmates had the cod fish & chips. Everyone was very happy with their meals and commented they would be back. Finding a great place at a moderate price is a challenge here in Coachella Valley. The River seems to have a few spots i would like to visit and will do so in the near future.
As for ADA the entrance to the restaurant is large and the access to the outside seating area perfect. My wheelchair didn't prohibit traffic passing the table and didn't cause any issues while I was at the table.
Overall a great experience and look forward to returning and discovering more of their very expansive menu.
We tried Acqua for the 1st time during our last visit with friends in the desert. What an outstanding restaurant! Everything was superb. The food was delicious and the service was incredible. We are now huge fans of this place and will definitely be back the next time we are in town!
We had a great dinner here! We have come to Palm Springs several times and for some reason never checked our Acqua! It didn't disappoint. We went with the four course option for $39.99 and each course was delicious. Definitely worth the price! There were SO many menu choices, so there's something for everyone. The portions were very generous so we were glad they let us pack some of our entrees up. Our server, Latrice, was one of the best servers I have ever had. She was so personable, happy and helpful and made it a truly great experience. She even surprised us at the end with a goblet of cotton candy and sang Happy Birthday to my husband with me. That was next level and we definitely didn't expect that. Everyone who helped us was attentive and fast. We will certainly be back again and probably make it a regular rotation when we visit PS.
Superb patio, one of the best operations in the Desert. Owner also has LuLu's in Palm Springs, good local owners with a we'll run operations. Bar is awesome at Happy hour and menu is actually very similar to LuLu's. Check out the steak and eggs ..b4 11 am, Enjoy
Acqua is definitely worth your time and money. It's a funky spot with an extensive menu and solid food. The decor and setting make for a unique experience. I recommend it based on service and quality.
First time we go and we really enjoy the food delicious and great services.
Very creative atmosphere and tasty food! The cotton candy was so, so fun!
The food was wonderful the service was spot on heck we're still here we don't wanna leave it was that good. And might I add the Sunday brunches just the right amount of food. Perfection!
Great location, enjoyed sitting outside on covered patio by lake. Good food and service.
Soooo good! Gluten free options were pretty good too. Fun atmosphere. Love the fun colorful decor
So happy Acqua is open again. The location and atrium are beautiful. The menu is extensive, literally something for everyone. The $19.99 prix fixe brunch menu is a great deal. Appetizer (their calamari is some of the best we’ve had), entree and dessert. Marco was so professional and attentive. So many choices, look forward to going back often.
