“My new favorite spot outside of Palm Springs!
The Sands Hotel team recently managed to snag one of the 3 best bartenders (Ryan Z) in Palm Springs to manage their Pink Cabana cocktail program; Palm Springs loss is most definitely their gain (and worth the short drive).

The space itself is gorgeous; the kind of slightly hidden hotel that you sorta’ have to know about. Enter through the grand double doors into the hotel lobby and through yet another set of doors, and a stunning pool area and restaurant unfold in front of your eyes. The vibe feels a bit like something out of a 1950’s movie. Just as importantly however is the quality of the food and drinks. Spot on!

Now that this unique Indian Wells space has brought in Ryan; it will get even better. I’ve definitely found a new spot worth leaving Palm Springs for.“

“Great food, Great music and so much fun!“

“The best family get away, our home away from home for spring break 6 years in a row now!!!! 💜⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I just tried this place last week as I am staying in Palm Springs for a month. I loved the sandwiches! I might go back today to explore more of their food, and buying some of their awesome Vegan shirts and merch!“

“Very tasty Thanksgiving dinner!! So glad to have found this special eatery!!“

“Eight Desert Divas dined at Sí Bon Restaurant in Rancho Mirage on Thursday. We were celebrating one of our own lovely Diva's birthday. We made reservations ahead of time (thankfully) because they were VERY busy. It is a popular place. The service was excellent. The menu was great. They offer a summer menu which includes a three course dinner for $32. They also have a happy hour menu. I ordered the meat loaf dinner and it was delicious and plentiful. Others selected steak with fries, tacos, mussels, and a few other items. There were no complaints at all. They even brought out a birthday chocolate mousse with a candle and 8 individual spoons to honor our birthday girl. Our server was wonderful and he gave us separate checks (which we always appreciate). It was definitely a special night and we highly recommend Sí Bon. Be sure to make reservations ahead of time. You won't be disappointed.“

“OK, if you want an amazing experience in dining, this is most definitely the place for you. This is our second time here and both experiences have been beyond incredible. Our server the first visit was Natalia, who was just superb; tonight was Cory who was the height of professional service. Mariah was our back service server who was friendly and amazingly prompt, sweet, and she even remembered us.
I will go back there again and again.
I promise you will not be disappointed.“

“The food is fresh and delicious. (Try the beef kabobs!) The large outdoor patio has misters and fans, and faces NE away from the afternoon sun.“

“Very friendly staff, very delicious food, great sushi and udons.“

“I wish I had taken pictures. My dad got their soup and he wanted the recipe so in love with this place The servers are amazing. I wish we lived closer to go there everyday We would. It was so good I really wish I could describe how it is It's definitely worth the drive Even if you just stay at a horrible place like agua caliente You go to this place and you'll be 10 times better. It's an experience worth everything and more“

“We miss the buns you used to serve. Why don't you put them on the menu and charge for them? The replacement buns on the menu are NOT nearly as good. Also why did you tae the pork and burger sliders off the menu..they were great Happy Hour/anytime items .“

“Fabulous dining Lovely Bistro type“

“Thursday morning. Meeting at 10AM. Coffee first, obviously.

Somebody suggested Louise’s Pantry and honestly… from the outside I almost missed it. Looks more like offices than a breakfast place. Just a sign on the building and that’s about it. I probably drove past it before and never even noticed.

Then you walk in and the whole feeling changes immediately.

Noise. Coffee cups clanking. Older locals talking across tables. Servers flying around the room somehow without making the place feel stressful. Real breakfast spot energy. Not “designed for Instagram” energy. Big difference.

I told the hostess I was waiting for somebody for a business meeting and needed a minute before sitting down. She instantly got it and put us in a quieter corner away from the middle of the room. Small thing, but honestly that already told me enough about this place.

People here pay attention.

And somehow they managed that balance that almost nobody gets right anymore. Nobody bothered us every five minutes, nobody interrupted conversations, nobody hovered around pretending to be attentive. But every single time the coffee got low, somebody appeared. I stopped counting after maybe the fifth refill.

That kind of service is disappearing everywhere now.

Food came out fast. Huge portions too. Not fake “brunch aesthetic” portions where you leave hungry and take photos of flowers on the plate. Real breakfast.

The French toast was honestly ridiculous in the best way. Thick slices, powdered sugar everywhere, crispy edges, bacon on the side. Looked like the kind of breakfast you see in old American movies where somebody’s dad reads the newspaper at the kitchen table. Hard to explain, but yeah… it had that feeling.

The biscuits and gravy with hash browns completely finished me after that. Good way. Heavy breakfast. Comfortable breakfast. I already knew halfway through there was no chance I was finishing everything there.

First time in a while I actually packed food to go.

What surprised me most though wasn’t even the food. It was how relaxed the whole place felt. Nobody trying too hard. Nobody acting trendy. No fake “modern brunch culture” vibe. Just people doing their jobs properly and making customers feel welcome.

Breakfast for two ended up around $57 before tip. Honestly fair. Especially for California at this point.

I’ll 100% come back here.

Not because it’s the fanciest breakfast spot in the desert. It’s not.

It just feels real. And lately that’s becoming weirdly hard to find.“

“I really wish I would have taken a picture of my vanilla yogurt bowl but I just dove in! It had bananas, strawberries, and blueberries. All of the fruit was sweet and looked absolutely delicious. The granola was still crunchy and the yogurt was fantastic. I also ordered a brown sugar white mocha iced latte and it was to die for. Creamy, balanced, not too sweet, not too acidic, and just flat out worth the calories. This family owned and run business is my new favorite spot for a morning or mid afternoon pick me up!“

“great service, friendly staff fun atmosphere“

“10!!!! Lo mejor de comida peruana colombiana“

“Great service! Very friendly staff and the food is really good! Prices are very reasonable as well! Highly recommend trying this cafe!“

“You know how there are places you wish were close to where you live and at the same time, wish they were further away?! This is one of them. Although I expect that if there was one near where I live, I hope I'd be able to exercise a little self control.
The ice cream here is so fresh and delicious, it's hard to describe. For instance, their coffee ice cream tastes like pure coffee as opposed to coffee flavoring. The same goes for all of their flavors.
It appears that there are only 6 locations on the West Coast and 3 of them are in Palm Springs/Palm Desert. Nothing on the East Coast.
There are locations in Hawaii as that is where this ice cream eminated from. That's also where I first had this amazing delicacy.
If you have the good fortune of coming across one of the stores, I obviously highly recommend it.“

“Great food and they are wonderful at supporting our hometown community“

“My partner and I ordered 12 tacos and overall enjoyed the experience. The meat tasted fresh and was topped simply with cilantro and onions, the way authentic street tacos should be. My partner especially enjoyed the tacos, and while I thought they were good overall, I found some of the meats a little underseasoned for my taste.

The chicken taco had a fair amount of gristle that hadn’t been trimmed properly, but the sausage, pork, and steak tacos were all enjoyable. As others have mentioned, the salsa was very watery and had an unusual sweetness that wasn’t really to our liking, although the verde sauce was quite good.

The service was excellent—friendly, welcoming, and efficient. The atmosphere is that of a small traditional taco shop and felt authentic, although it doesn’t have much character or ambiance.

Overall, the tacos were fresh and the service was great. Prices were reasonable, although the tacos were a bit on the smaller side. We were a just bit surprised that all of the sauces and chips were charged as extras but maybe thats normal in this area. We did appreciate the lemon wedges and radishes though.“

“Great place, great food and great service“

“Great burger and fries. Delicious carne asada burger. 🍔 🍟 🥤 so good!“

“This is our go to place in Palm Desert!“

“This was the best Peruvian food hands down made by Peruvians so the taste was authentic with authentic ingredients. My wife and I met the chef and she’s so passionate about her food and was very friendly. Think it may have been family working there every one was so polite and friendly engaged in conversation about Peru. My wife and I had the lomo saltado and I had to get the ceviche con chicharron it was absolutely delicious. We usually make stops throughout the places we visit to try the Peruvian food and this is it. The ceviche was fresh and had all the authentic ingredients it’s like if we were sitting in Peru eating. This is going to be our go to spot when visiting the area.“

“its was delicious!! the sushi was so good ! the poke bowl was outstanding !! service was great ! I highly recommend 💯❤“

“Staff is so helpful and fun to be with, the cocktails are wonderful and wine is lovely, and the food choices are incredible!“

“My partner and I made a reservation for restaurant week and wanted to try the three course, price-fixed menu and they did not disappoint. The food was delicious and seating at the patio was the right decision as it was a bit too busy and noisy inside the main restaurant.“

“Wally's Desert Turtle is renowned for its exceptional service, elegant decor, and high-quality cuisine. The restaurant is celebrated for its fine dining experience, where every detail is meticulously curated to ensure a memorable visit. The ambiance is luxurious, and the dishes are crafted with premium ingredients, reflecting both culinary artistry and attention to detail.“

“I've come here more times than I can count and it's always delicious. There aren't many GOOD vegan options in the Coachella Valley, but the tofu bahn mi from here is superb!! If you're vegan or avoiding dairy you can order a tofu banh mi without mayonnaise. They also have vegan tofu spring rolls with peanut sauce. The lemonade and teas from here are also delicious and refreshing. The staff is always kind and will answer any questions you may have. Overall, this is a lovely spot to get some good food 😋 I highly recommend it to vegans and meat eaters alike.“

“Excellent food and everything is delicious! Prices are good and portions are large. I highly recommend Sloan’s.“

“Over the top amazing. The fish tacos were incredible, the chili relleno is something I always order. Yes it is a Mexican restaurant but the food and the Cadillac margaritas are truly memorable, the experience is similar to exquisite dining. No table cloths no cloth napkins limited upscale decorations but a restaurant we always visit from Phoenix.“

“Great place all around! The food is AWESOME and the atmosphere is top notch. A must if you're in the area!“

“We were here in Palm Desert for a competition and one of our parents recommended we try this spot. Great margaritas and absolutely the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. I don't remember the name of the dishes we tried but the pin wheel shrimp and the pork Fajitas are just incredible. If you're in Palm Desert you have to try Guillmores!!! Definitely worth the trip“

“The Best breakfast we had all week in Indian Wells/ Palm springs! Delicious vegetarian omelette with goat cheese and the crepes were absolutely amazing. The owners are so kind and gracious, very friendly and loved the overall feeling of the place. Lots of regular dinners too, they make you feel welcome. The almond croissant was so good, I I wish I didn't live so far away! Can't wait to return on our next trip!“

“Heard of it for some time. Decided to go with the family. Everyone enjoyed their hearty meals and left with full bellies and smiles in their faces. Will definitely be back!“

“Stopped at Shields today. We had breakfast, followed by a walk around the gardens. So many trees had fruit on them, just going to waste. Signs all over saying "don't pick the fruit." Instead of letting the fruit rot on the trees, why not pick the fruit to sell or even donate to a food pantry? I was saddened seeing all the fruit going to waste.“

“Great atmosphere, wonderful service & fantastic food!“
