We have been in Palm Springs for two weeks, and have eaten here three times. The first time was at lunch, had a good experience. At that time, we noticed a flyer on each table advertising a Valentine's Day special...buy one "entree" and receive the second at 50% off, plus a complimentary vegan dessert. This offer was advertised as good from 2/12 - 2/14. On Friday, 2/12, we went there for an early dinner (around 4:30), and I ordered the vegan lasagna, while my husband ordered a sandwich. We also each had a glass of wine. The food was great. The menu clearly states that wine is half off between 4 and 6 pm. When the check arrived, the wine was at full price, but since we had gotten the V-Day special, we assumed that the wine special did not apply. Today, 2/14, we returned for dinner. The restaurant was packed with couples. Again I ordered the vegan lasagna, my husband ordered a sandwich, and we each got a glass of wine. Again, the food was great, but when we had finished, the waiter brought the check, and I asked about the V-Day dessert. To my surprise, he told me that the special didn't apply, because my husband had ordered a sandwich. I replied that we had had the same situation on Friday, and the special HAD applied, and half the sandwich price ($7 less than my lasagna) had been taken off. The waiter said that the owner had been in, and had insisted that the special only applied to ENTREES. Then I realized that we had also been charged full price for the wine, although the check was clearly timed at 5:39 pm. I queried that, and he told me that he usually worked days, so he knew nothing about that! He did eventually change the check to reflect the 50% reduction on the wine. But when I once again looked at the menu, I realized that although the V-Day special said "Buy one entree," there was nothing on the menu called an entree. The category that apparently applied is called "Bowls & Plates." The fact that we were not told that we needed to order TWO items from this category rather than one and a sandwich was very frustrating. Then to be charged full price for wine during a half price time that occurs EVERY day was just the straw that broke the camel's back. We enjoy their food, but do not like being cheated. We have two more weeks in town, but we will not go back to Palm Greens. Updated from previous review on Sunday February 14, 2016
