Backstreet Bistro - Palm Desert

Service was very poor. Waitress only smiled when she brought the check

Absolutely delicious Italian food and great service combined for an outstanding value. We'd definitely stop in again to this great neighborhood restaurant

Good service. Large portions and food was very good. Not outstanding but good. Was a bit taken back by the appearance of the hostess and the owner. Should wear some make up and look the part. Not a good first impression. Was shocked by the owners look. She was a mess and obviously did not care about her look. Messy old clothes, hair a mess no makeup. Had her shirt on backwards. Come on..your the owner, not a homeless person who just walked in. People were very polite to her but then commented to each other about her terrible look. Get with it and make yourself feel better and your customers. Loved the marinara sauce

The restaurant took our reservation on open table, but was not even open when we arrived. I think they would have made us or open table aware that they are closing.

The restaurant was completely closed when we arrived for our reservation. we feel bad when their business has closed, but please update them the list on the website. I should have called first.
