❤️ Had an amazing dinner at Twenty6 last Friday night. I was able to get a sneak peak taste of their upcoming fall/winter appetizer. The burrata, olive tapenade, salami and chorizo was absolutely amazing. The taste was outstanding and the presentation was beautiful! After devouring the appetizer, my friend and I decided to split the Chicken Milanese. It was such a great choice. The entree was light and had such a brightness to the taste. Typically, I don't order fried dishes and do not like arugula, however, I was intrigued by the description. All the flavors came together to complement the dish perfectly. I honestly loved the pepper taste of arugula combined with the fresh bright taste of the tomatoes, bell peppers, and lemon vinaigrette. Overall, the dinner was delicious. Our server Hilario, was also fabulous! He was quick, efficient but not overly intrusive. We had a wonderful experience at Twenty6 and will return soon.

Food was great but Yvette was tremendous. Polite and totally professional. Just because of her we will be back. She is one in a million.

The food was much better than we expected - very good along with a nice presentation and generous servings. Staff was friendly and attentive! Only negative was the old sticky tabletops - gross!
Linda
Delicious and great value fixed plate meal. However very very slow and uneven service Overcooked salmon sent back to kitchen and not replaced until other diners had finished eating. Will try once more to see if these problems are a one off . Fingers crossed.

Two problems. First, in a near empty restaurant we were shown to a table by the bathroom. Why? We requested and were given a different table but with a bit of attitude by the host. Second, while eating our first course, our entrees were delivered. What's the rush? Overall I give it a 3 out of 5 stars. We did not feel valued here

We are locals in La Quinta and planned a special night out. The restaurant had only 4 other tables of patrons (not unusual for July). The host took us to a table right next to the bathroom. Why?? The restaurant was nearly empty with a ton of good seats available. We complained and were shown to another table (with attitude -- "Sit where you want"). My husband is Indian and took this as a personal slight. The food was good, but my other complaint is that we were eating our first course of gazpacho when our entrees were brought to the table. This is a personal peeve of mine ... I'm spending the money to eat at a nice restaurant. I don't want to feel rushed. Overall, it was not a great experience and we don't plan to return.

Great casual dinner restaurant. Among the best seared salmon dishes in Coachella valley. Also has excellent prix fix dinners for exceptional value.

Our waitress was great. She made recommendations which we took up the offer. They are running a Summer Special for $33/person. It was delicious. There are 2 entrees to choose from so we ordered one of each. Salmon and Spaghetti w/ asparagus, heirloom tomatoes. For starters they served us Gazpacho, then the entree and a delicious dessert. Great value!!! The next morning we went for breakfast. They have the best eggs Benedict which I ordered. My husband had the 2 eggs, Apple sausage, hash browns and sour dough toast which he liked.

Disappointing meal and lackluster service. Wobbly table and took a long time for the food to come out- and it wasn't what we expected especially considering the price.

This restaurant is abysmal. I was drawn to it because it had strong reviews here, on Opentable, that were clearly dishonest. Or negative reviews were hidden. The decor is EXTREMELY dated, straight out of a greasy-surfaced 2002 interior decorator catalogue. If you miss the days of brown and burgundy and repetitive stylized rectangle textiles, then you'll love this spot! Everything was tacky and not well-cleaned, the table had the dull wipe marks of a dirty towel and the sticky texture of neglect and age. We had a server that had one table, and he was not proactive nor friendly. He made no recommendations. I ordered a berry and vodka cocktail, one, that was $20. It came in a pint glass and had no perceived taste of liquor. They gave me a regular straw, but a hilarious quantity of macerated berries that simply clogged the straw and was a hackneyed idea. We got the Falafel entree as an appetizer, another $20. The pita was DIS-GUSTING. It can only be described as NASA mattress material with a brown coating on the outside. It had the texture of styrofoam and the flavor of rancid oil, it wasn't warmed up whatsoever before it hit my plate. The rest of the entree was good, but five teeny tiny falafel and a smear of hummus does not a $20 entree make. My husband ordered a chicken sandwich with fries and added an extra side caesar. The caesar was the sole bright spot in this meal. But I'm saving the best for last. My Sea Bass entree was served with polenta, pancetta, leeks and corn. The fish was rancid, having a deeply unpleasant taste of camphor and latex. And all of the "fixins" with the fish were CLEARLY repurposed from the breakfast buffet - polenta was, in fact, grits. The pancetta was cut-up, refried bacon. It was embarrassing that I fell for this dish because it was clearly just - breakfast leftovers with ancient frozen fish. We had one single cocktail, one entree-as-an-appetizer, two entrees and one side salad: our total with tip was $165. Never, EVER again
Resort is historic and beautiful. Restaurant needs a refresh. Menu is OK for a hotel restaurant. Food quality was good. Had a shrimp cocktail (huge shrimp), BBQ Chicken flat, Cesar Salad (way too much cheese). Some nice people working there. Service was OK. The OpenTable listing appears to need updating. It doesn't appear the hotel operates as a W=A any longer. Saw zero Waldorf branding.

Excellent atmosphere and service. I knew it was going to be moderately expensive so no surprise.

Just want to leave a nice review for Sylvia. Our attendant at TWENTY26 tonight. We had a dinner with 40 plus diners and her service attitude and smile was terrific. The food was great. This service was tremendous. We will definitely recommend this to anybody who wants an enjoyable night out.
