I celebrated my birthday at Porta Villa and had such a wonderful experience! They were able to accommodate a party of 15 of my closest friends and family, and everything went so smoothly. We made a reservation the week prior to ensure we could all sit together, and they had everything perfectly arranged when we arrived. The food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor — and the servers were incredibly attentive and friendly throughout the night. It made my birthday feel extra special. Highly recommend for any group celebration or date night!

I sat here for an hour without even being asked if I needed anything. All I received was the water that came with the menu. I gave service a 2 for the lady that even asked if I needed anything else. IG other than water NO. I have no idea what the food is like but service could use some help.

Such a great spot! The atmosphere is beautiful and relaxing, perfect for a nice meal out. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the drinks are just as amazing. Definitely a place I’d recommend!!

Food was SO good and beautifully plated. I had the PV salad, which was an amazing suggestion but our lovely server Sylvia! She was so charming and patient. She checked on us without being overwhelming. I typically am a Caesar salad girlie but she suggested the PV salad and I’m so glad she did! It was delicious. My mom had the filet and said it was the best she ever had! The hostesses were gracious and gave us a warm goodbye on the way out. We WILL be back next time I’m visiting Palm Desert!

Very retro vibe. Cool and hip. Service was fantastic! Stopped in for a drink to celebrate some milestones and the server picked up on our story and made it a party, without our even asking. Will definitely be back.

I didn't take pictures because I was enjoying the moment with great people, wonderful service and amazing food. The place is beautiful! I'll be back for the tuna tower and another summer in a glass.

Food and service was good but what grossed me out is when I went to the restrooms and there is no sinks to wash your hands only a hand sanitizer 😒 the bathrooms were for all genders. What kind of place has no sinks in the restrooms to wash your hands? Just that alone I will not go back there. Question, where do the employees go to the restroom and wash their hands? I hope I don't get sick after eating there. If I do they'll be hearing from me.
Amazing flavors with great staff!
