I attended a soft opening of the new DINKS Restaurant & Ultra Lounge located on North Palm Canyon.  The sleek new space is gorgeous, very modern and is a perfect mix of casual elegance. The large windows frame the mountains in the background, and the exposed steel and interior design make it a hip place to be.  The outdoor patio has cabanas, large lounge sofas and bar.
