"King's Highway makes vintage vogue by breathing new life into a tired mid-century chain restaurant space." Full review
Afar Magazine "The trendy ACE hotel renovated a roadside Denny’s into a delicious farm-to-table diner with retro contemporary flair." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Rather than the usual Rat Pack retro or duffer chic, this hip oasis is a slightly rugged desert escape." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Try the Albacore Tuna Melt, a take on a classic made with sumac and caper aoli; a variety of tacos; or the Five Leaves Burger, imported from its Brooklyn sister restaurant." Full review
Tasting Table "The Five Leaves burger is stacked with a sunny-side up egg, grilled pineapple, sliced pickled beet and harissa mayo." Full review
Afar Magazine "If there’s one night to slide into a booth at this casual diner inside the hip Ace Hotel & Swim Club, make it a Monday." Full review

For dinner, try the Grilled Mahi Mahi Tacos or Desert Highway Burgers, and request the pickled jalapeños for added kick.

"King’s Highway is the all-day cafe...with a menu full of things people like to eat before noon, King’s Highway has sneakily become one of the best breakfasts in town and has a Jetson-chic atmosphere " Full review
Lonely Planet "A diner for the 21st century where the tagliatelle is handmade, the sea bass wild-caught, the beef grass-fed, the vegetables heirloom and the cheeses artisanal. " Full review
Time Out "The menu of solid fare hits the spot whether you're looking for a full meal (burgers, fried fish tacos) or a snack between pool lounging and a nigh on the town (avocado toast, marinated beet salad)." Full review
