The staff was running around taking orders, making drinks, trying to accommodate everyone and every request. Our server was not only our server, but also the bartender for the whole restaurant (I believe)! Food and service took a a few minutes longer than expected, but it was well worth the wait. The restaurant manager checked in on us twice, making sure we were comfortable and happy. Anyone who has ever worked in the service industry would acknowledge how hard these individuals were working. I left completely full on amazing food, and completely impressed on the restaurant staff. 10/10 again. Thank you Si Bon staff and manger. <3”

La Dolce Piccola Gelateria 73255 El Paseo STE 20, Palm Desert Ice Cream Shop • $

“We came here and there was already a line waiting out the door. When we got to the front, there were a bunch of samples to choose from. Everything looked really good. I sampled the Panna Cotta and it was light, smooth, creamy, and sweet but not too sweet. I was very surprised actually at how much I liked it. I already had my two flavors in my mind, but I would definitely come back to try a scoop of that and an affogato.

I got a scoop of Espresso and Tiramisu in a cup with a waffle cone on top. Both flavors were absolutely delicious. I loved the texture of the gelato, it was so creamy. Prices were a little steep, but the quality is undeniable. I'd definitely come back to try more of their flavors.

Service was good, it was busy with just two of them there serving a bunch of families in line. But they were very helpful and pleasant. I can't wait to swing by again when I'm back in the area.”

( He gots the Biden Prices which was a bummer for a minute I thought Castañedas was a nice guy for keeping his prices low but never mind). But it’s okay it was just a dollar.

“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.

“Great experience here, and the sandwich was fresh and made exactly as ordered, and was out super fast. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the place was clean, with plenty of seating. I love that the bread is always soft and has a nice crunch, and the ingredients taste really fresh. Online ordering was a breeze, and pick up was ready right on time, therefore, if you are looking for a quick and reliable lunch that actually tastes good, this location is solid, and I give it 5 stars.”

Boulevard's Bar & Grill 36890 Del Webb Blvd, Palm Desert American • $$

“We have been to Boulevards 3 or 4 times for dinner, each time it was a great experience; service, food, and ambiance way above par...however, we had lunch for the first time a week ago this past Friday with 7 other people. While the service was good, the food was subpar...I had a professional LA Chef with us, who did not say a word, but neither he or his wife ate their lunches and I know them well enough to know they did not like it...I ordered chili, it was not very good and was luke warm, but the server took it immediately and warmed it. My partner ordered a club sandwich, it too was subpar, and another friend also ordered chili and felt as I did. While the others in the party were grandkids, the one salad looked like a bowl filled with lettuce thrown together, and not much thought at that, one had a sandwich and I looked at that, it too looked awful, and my one grandson said his lunch was good...I do not remember what he had. For a place that has no kids menu and prices are steep, everything should be served professionally. ALSO...I was in the restaurant business in LA and NYC for over 25 years and it is 2024 and time for Boulevards to have a voice mail instead of a message that askes the customer to call back when they cant answer the phone as they "are serving other customers" The customer should not have to keep calling back. By the way, I just called to make reservations for this coming Tues nite, 4 times over a 15 - 20 minute period, and each time I got this same message. We really like Boulevards for dinner, but as with all restaurants, and included my own, there is always room for improvement!”

J's Deli 74225 CA-111, Palm Desert Restaurant • $$

“A take out order today had one "glitch," so I wondered if J's was slipping again. I called the restaurant and talked to the person who had sent the order out. She apologized and said there would be a credit on my next order either delivery or in the restaurant. But almost immediately, Jay, the owner, sent me an email apology increasing the credit (double the cost of the item) and saying he was sorry for the error and disappointing me. That prompt and responsive action on the part of the owner counts. Things go wrong with any restaurant or any business. I learned long ago as a customer - and as a consultant to the top execs at Fortune 500 companies - that the true measure of a company isn't how they act when things are going well (that's easy) but rather how they handle it when things go awry. Jay handled the minor mistake in my order with professionalism, responsiveness, promptness, and kindness. The order was on time, packaged perfectly, and the key thing, great food. As I said in the past, there was a period in which I saw some problems at J's, but for a while now, I have seen nothing but great food, good service, and attention to the customer. I hope others go to J's and find the same.”

“Si Bon was wonderful! The food and service as a 10/10. I will say, when we arrived, it was EXTREMELY busy. Completely full. The staff was running around taking orders, making drinks, trying to accommodate everyone and every request. Our server was not only our server, but also the bartender for the whole restaurant (I believe)! Food and service took a a few minutes longer than expected, but it was well worth the wait. The restaurant manager checked in on us twice, making sure we were comfortable and happy. Anyone who has ever worked in the service industry would acknowledge how hard these individuals were working. I left completely full on amazing food, and completely impressed on the restaurant staff. 10/10 again. Thank you Si Bon staff and manger. <3”

I would’ve never thought of this combo in a coffee, but it’s amazing! I’ll definitely be back for this. I think it’s my new favorite coffee flavor. I also tried the Calabaza coffee, filled with cozy pumpkin and fall spices—so delicious and comforting. The staff is so friendly and incredibly helpful with the menu, and it really adds to the experience. There were about 20 people in line ahead of me today, but it was totally worth the wait, and they still got the drinks out impressively fast. This place is truly a gem—I can’t wait to try more of their coffees and matchas! ✨☕🍊🍂💛”
