New American Restaurants in Palm Desert, CA

“We miss the buns you used to serve. Why don't you put them on the menu and charge for them? The replacement buns on the menu are NOT nearly as good. Also why did you tae the pork and burger sliders off the menu..they were great Happy Hour/anytime items .“

“This was a delightful find for our family of vegetarians and carnivores alike. Coming for lunch, the variety to choose from was surprising. A lasting impression was The Primo Bowl which had a delicious dressing that wasn't overpowering. The guacamole was a thumbs up from my husband. The beans I ordered came in a tortilla bowl in which squeezing lime on it was a delightful surprise and flavor for my aunt. Be sure to try the corn dip. That was wonderful and unusual to my family. Everything was obviously fresh and created for a unique twist to make Mexican Food exciting again.“

“Chef Michael and staff did an outstanding job catering our outdoor celebration. The Mexican buffet spread was unbelievable and all of our guests had rave reviews. 5 stars from beginning to end!“

“Fabulous dining Lovely Bistro type“

“Excelent food and service. Ray was fantastic!!!“

“Keedy’s Fountain & Grill is the best restaurant experience I had. We were able to seat ourselves immediately and our server was happy. She took our order within five minutes of us sitting and frequently checked up on us and refilled drinks. I never went to a restaurant that runs food so quickly, our food came out at least five minutes after we ordered and everything was fresh, hot, and well seasoned. Honestly you get more than you pay for here, although the restaurant was packed our server didn’t rush us or appear overwhelmed, and our delicious food came out quickly with no problems. Additionally, the atmosphere was very old fashioned and comforting. 10/10 dining experience I will be coming back for more yummy breakfasts again.“

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

“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! ----- ----- -----“

“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.“

“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.“

“Fabulous experience at Larkspur Grill! While the food was average, the staff was attentive and excellent. But what really made our experience was the entertainment by Dick and Jane. Their music was incredible - all of the band members' instrumental skills and vocal skills were of a very high level. And Janis (Jane) visited with each table, making the experience more memorable!“
