11 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Palm Desert

“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.“

“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.“

“We had a 5:30 reservation on Wednesday night. When we walked in and there were only a couple people at the eating bar. We sat down and our server came over and asked what our water preference was. They don't have cocktails but have wines by the glass and Im not sure of beer, but they probably do. Our server brought one a chalkboard with the days menu. we ordered the Mac and cheese and The Grilled Dates - ricotta cheese, honey, berry compote, chilé sauce and Red Miner's Lettuce - pickled sunchokes, strawberries, feta, lemon dressing, toasted pistachios for starters. the dates were delish, kind of reminded me of a campfire marshmallow believe it or not, the date was a little charred on the outside like a marshmallow when you were a kid, they were wonderful the red miners salad was also lovely with goat cheese and pistachios. Entrees we had ,Santa Carota Beef Short Rib - coffee, maple demi glaze , New Bedford Scallops and grilled shrimp - spinach-basil creme, egg noodles , and the Striped bass, all were excellent the food here was some of the best in the Desert! For dessert we had the Berry tart which was really good.
Our only concern, and all three of us said the same thing, It would have been nice if more people were eating. But otherwise great food and service!“

“Enjoyed a nice dinner for my wife’s birthday and the food and atmosphere was very nice. We finished everything on our plates including the baklava cheesecake which was delicious. Thank you for the great food and service Mert!

Kid-friendliness: They had chicken tenders and fries which was a safe bet for our kids. Although the chicken was very good my kids really loved the gyro meat.“

“I was excited to bring my friend to the pretty room. I'd eaten indoors several times, but was reluctant because the acoustics were terrible on my previous visits. This time we could hear each other while conversing! I recommended they add some sound baffling, and they listened! No pun intended. It was a super pleasurable experience and our waiter was wonderful. The service has always been great, but now the room is too. I was looking forward to fish, but they didn't offer any last night. It would have been the best compliment to the evening, but nonetheless the food was on point.“

“Bonne paella avec beaucoup de calamars et de crevettes servie dans une poêlon sortant du four.“

“Amazing dinner! The biscuits might have been the best thing we've eaten all year. All dishes were great though. We sat in the main dining area, which was more casual hotel vibe, whereas the lounge looked more like the darker restaurant vibe. Depends what you want. We'll definitely be back!“

“Great food! Picked up 4 wraps the other day. They were huge. Each enough for 2 people. The type of local place that makes you happy you spent your money there.“

“Abel was the one who took care of us today. He was great. Heather, who has taken care of us in the past, was off today. Heather has always been superb. We love this place so much. Highly recommended!
