“Muy bonito lugar , la comida ni se diga , perfecta“

“Wanted to send a shout out to the La Quinta Cliffhouse for their generosity and kindness towards us Veterans on Veterans Day. While some establishments offer a free trinket or something on Veterans Day, the Cliffhouse offered Vets a complete dinner at absolutely no cost. If members of the Military and/or Veterans are important to you, please patronize the La Quinta Cliffhouse in the near future. They care and are the best.“

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

“We were visiting from out of town and looking for a great breakfast spot on our way out of town the last morning. Wow did we get lucky finding this place. We beat the Sunday rush so sat right down and the service was wonderful. Food was amazing and everyone was happy. We had pancakes, biscuits and gravy, ham steak (gigantic - split this), Country Breakfast and Pancake Sandwich! Everything was just excellent and we'll be back next time for sure.“

“Had the most incredible meal at this restaurant has definitely become my favorite. You have to try this restaurant out it will become your favorite as well.“

“Took our neighbors for their 40th anniversary. Even though they’ve lived in the valley for multiple decades, they had never been there (which is what I had hoped so as to surprise them). Took us newbies (less than 3 years) to introduce them to one of the valley’s hidden gems. They were captivated and very impressed and appreciative of their dining experience at this lovely setting. Each of us had a different entree and everyone was super pleased with their choice. Our guest has named Melange her new favorite restaurant.“

“The setting at the La Quinta Resort is beautiful. The weather warm, the patio great for bringing a dog. Hector came right away and delivered water, and menu recommendations. The menu has something for everyone. We had salads with extra protein and they were excellent. The drinks strong and the serve very attentive. Highly recommend Twenty 6.“

“Tommy Bahama never disappoints! Everyone was super friendly from the moment we arrived. We sat on the patio and were served by Bailey — she was so sweet, friendly, and helpful. The food was delicious as always and totally met our expectations. Such a great evening at Tommy Bahama!“

“Good Food, Great Service, Lots of Dishes to Pick From.“

Highly recommend this cool and elegant restaurant! Can’t wait to come back!!“

“Watched the Budweiser Clydesdale horses and had a fabulous lunch.“

“Keedy’s Diner is the perfect classic breakfast spot in Palm Springs. I ordered eggs with bacon and hash browns, plus a side of pancakes, and everything hit the spot. The eggs were cooked just right, the bacon was crispy and flavorful, and the hash browns had that perfect golden crunch on the outside while staying soft inside.

The pancakes were fluffy, buttery, and easily some of the best I’ve had at a diner — they came out hot and fresh, the kind you can tell are made with care.

On top of the great food, the diner has that old-school charm and welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. Service was friendly and fast, and the whole experience felt genuine and classic.

A must-visit in Palm Springs if you’re craving a true diner breakfast done perfectly.“

“Great ambiance and the burger and the salmon salad is good“

“I love the POM it never disappoints me“

“Wonderful lunch outdoor setting, delicious food and very friendly service.“

“Tried the Southwest Wrap with a jalapeño cheddar tortilla. It was fresh and delicious! Love the option of tater tots for my side instead of the usual fries. I look forward to trying a different wrap on my next visit. Yep, so good I’m planning to go back!!“

“Thanksgiving dinner again was exceptional. The greeting on arrival, the incredible menu, amazing service deliver a five star experience every visit. The outdoor dining creates a unique ambiance and if you want the best in fine dining..Jillian's is outstanding.“

“It would be wonderful if they could get rid of all the flies. Food was good, service was good but those annoying flies, yikes🪰🪰.“

“A Friendly Place With Good Customer Service and everything made fresh 💯👌😋“

“Went to a 5pm fundraiser. Clearly they let an entire restaurant in early. There was not one seat available at 5. It was already maxed out with people wolfing down appetizers and wine with not one seat open. Not Cool. Clearly the good Ole boys got the we will let you in early memo. Too much competition around El Paseo to ever go back.“

“Dinner was great as well as service“

“Concise Review Great poolside food, drinks, & staff ----- Longer Review We have visited Marriott’s Shadow Ridge in Palm Desert since 2002, and afternoons at the pool, with food and drinks from Chuckwalla Bar & Grill, are a bit part of every trip. One of my all time favorite photos is from a nice afternoon, poolside, several years ago when the kids were little... it was one of our most fun and peaceful afternoons as a family anywhere... the photos is of our daughter, asleep on my wonderful wife, my wonderful wife smiling at me, and our son was on the chair in between us, smiling as he was drinking a strawberry smoothie from Chuckwalla’s... such a blessing. We visited Southern California - Palm Desert, Yucaipa, and Malibu - for Spring Break 2021. This trip we had more activities off-property than usual, so we only got one nice long afternoon at the pool, and RebekahM made it a little extra special. The sun, the water, fun in the pool... and smoothies... such a joy. Before I had a chance to think about it, smoothies were en route from Chuckwalla... strawberry, banana, and alcohol-free pina colada. Rebekah delivered them to us with a big smile and infectiously positive attitude. Rebekah turned the fun up a notch with her dancing and smiling and laughing as she took our orders and delivered to the families around the pool... everyone was extra happy when she was around. Thank you, Rebekah and Chuckwalla, for another memorable trip! ----- ----- -----“

“I’m a craft beer fanatic, so when you read my review please keep that in mind. Service was great, the pizza was really good, but there were no “real” craft beers. This is despite, claiming to have a brewery onsite. They do have three or four beers brewed there, but they were not that good. All of the others came from the big, mass produced breweries. Come for the food and atmosphere, but not for the beer.“

“Amazing experience even though we thoroughly embarrassed ourselves while we were there. So grateful to Mike and his team for their next level superior service, delicious food, incredible empathy and generosity. Thank you! We will be back with much more to contribute the next time. :). Thank you to the entire lovely team here.“

“David was awesome! -1st time visit. Prime rib was grade A+!!

Happy hour and menu selections are fantastic. Calamari is well seasoned and fried to perfection. My mom loved the fresh fish and chips... Fries are fantastic. Dad's Cubano with the pulled pork is off the hook.

Great job spotlight 29!! Keep it up. Well be back ASAP. Thanks again!

==========
Back again and again! We love it here! Ryan was excellent! His attention to detail. And friendly, caring service are A+!!

The fried chicken 🍗 is awesome too!

Thanks again! See you soon, Eric.“

“We so enjoyed our dinner tonight at Cork and Fork in La Quinta- delicious Vegan options- crispy cauliflower and the Brussels Sprouts starter were delicious- and the wines served on the Happy Hour menu were delightful! We’ll be back!“

“It closed two weeks ago. I used to love the blu ember and came out here for lunch or cocktails every time I would be out in the desert. Unfortunately, I just came out tonight and found out that it is closed. It’s been replaced with an Italian restaurant. So sad.“

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

“We had a wonderful time two weeks ago, so we came back and brought guests. This was the most disappointing meal I have had in years. Waited over ten minutes before someone even greeted us. No one at reception. I finally asked the bartender if it was self seating. Waiter said they were totally under staffed. Took 30 minutes before ordering and even had to go get water for the table. Another 40 minutes for food to arrive. Hopefully it will get fixed, but doubtful we will ever go back.“

“A combined birthday celebration and a 50th wedding anniversary. This was a big night out for the four of us, and it was a wonderful evening. Initially there was some confusion with the address and GPS because there are so many places called “Indian Wells”. And the building that IW Live is in looks like a private condo building. Perhaps when it was called Frank’s Place there wasn’t this confusion! Food and service was outstanding and we found the prices reflected the quality. The entertainment started promptly at 6pm. Marc Antonelli and Maureen MacDonald (a lovely Canadian singer!). There are two sets to their program. We wish we could have stayed for the second set, because the set list would have been more to our liking — more celebration music, rather than somber Classic (opera) music and a sad song to commemorate 9 / 11. The Prayer, by Carole Bayer Sager. But the singers have wonderful vocals!
To top the evening off, the staff presented our table with beautiful desserts, one for the birthday, one for the anniversary! Thank you!“

“The wonton soup is excellent , the service is Better , plenty of parking“

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