Service was impeccable, from the manager who greeted us and remembered our special request, to our server and busboys. Food was excellent and lived up to French reputation. Very nice open air dining room. All in all a lovely experience.

We love this restaurant . The food is delicious and prepared perfectly with a lovely presentation. The staff is professional and courteous with attention to every detail but not intrusive. I had the halibut and it was moist with seasoning but not dry . My husband had veal and he said it was delicious. Crepes for dessert are a must. We will return. The ambience is attractive and fun.

This dinner was to celebrate my wife's and my wedding anniversary. Everything about our meals were wonderful - service, perfectly mixed drinks, delicious appetizers and entrees, even a surprise celebratory cake. With so many great area restaurants to choose from, we definitely picked a winner with Cafe Des Beaux-Arts

The BEST place! I come to Palm Desert every year and Cafe des Beaux Arts is always a must. Amazing food, great area, french-style atmosphere, fantastic service.

Nice goodbye dinner. Favorite place. Great people. A couple of flaws: stale bread and overdone lamb, ordered medium rare. And they were out of Viognier. But otherwise great.

We went to Easter Brunch and also celebrated a friend's birthday. The staff was very accommodating and the food was outstanding as always!

We always have a great time at Cafe de Beaux! Delicious menu options. Attentive service. The hubby enjoyed the Veal special. I had house salad with Seafood crepes...very tasty. Will return soon!

Accepting a subtle greeting from the usher, i took a table by the roadside (open) window. Had to ask for the table. The greeter can do a better job asking for preferences. From here on, the experience exceeded my expectations.
The coffee! Awesome. I complemented the coffee and the attendant insisted i get as much coffee as i can drink :-). I ordered Mediterranean Frittata and a plate of plain crepe without powdered sugar. The food was tasty and hot. Using my hands to dip a rolled crepe in the syrup, i downed it with a sip of hot coffee. Yum. Had a leisurely breakfast, ate everything except the plates. Recommend this restaurant for a leisurely sumptuous experience. Avoid sitting at the bar (nothing against it) or the inside booths as the street side tables are more relaxing.

Asked 3 times if they had mint jelly for lamb chops..staff could care we were there. Chops had 2 bites of meat and bone. Jelly was clear not green....poured it out of ramekin and it was black...truly sickened me..showed bartender. She said that's all we have
..lost customers of 20 years over $5.00 worth of mint jelly..me never ever going back

We came here on an early Sunday afternoon (beg of October), staff was very friendly and attentive. And, the food was so so good. I’ve lived in the desert for over a decade and this was my first time here; LOVED EVERY BITE.

We got the escargot which was amazing, and the shrimp Cesar salad was great, you could tell it was a house made dressing.

Found a new favorite on El Paseo ???

Cant wait to come back for the beignets ?

The hostess was very rude and inappropriate. She called out to people across the room when she did not communicate clearly where they were supposed to sit. Then laughed loudly with another staff member which made guests feel like she was laughing at them, when they did not know where to go. Very rude. Very poor social graces.

This is one of the best restaurants in California: the food is fantastic and healthy, the staff is efficient and very friendly, the place is super nice (enjoy the patio!), and the atmosphere is excellent. I have only superlatives!
