Best French Restaurants in Cathedral City

Every aspect of the evening was: exceptional! Reading some of the recent reviews I was slightly apprehensive about the change of ownership/management but - nothing about ones experience has changed. We were able to secure a space on the patio for a friends/business dinner. Seated promptly, the quality of service was high and exceeded our expectations. The engagement from all staff was attentive, warm and friendly, and the quality of each of the dishes in our four courses was simply beautifully delicious. We engaged with the Farouk, the Sommelier, who offered an off-menu selection - elegant and paired with our variety of dishes very well. I still highly recommend Le Vallauris.

We've always heard great things about this restaurant and it did not disappoint. The food, drinks and service were all great. We went on Valentine's Day so it was extremely busy but the staff did a great job of keeping up. And because of this, the menu was prix fixe, so we look forward to going back and trying the regular menu.

Loved the restaurant, the food and the service. Prices, especially given the fact it was Valentine's Day, were very reasonable. They kept to the original menu with a few added specials which was refreshing. Most places go to a restricted menu with elevated prices. My only negative comment concern how they do or don't inform diners of certain prices. Server asks if you'd like bread & butter. Your response is "Sure" because it's complimentary but not here. It's a $5.00 up charge. Reasonable, yes, but totally unexpected. All menu items are reasonable priced and well prepared. They have a nice wine list, heavy on French wines (figures) but at very competitive prices. All in all I'd say this is a dining delight that we'll come back to again and again all the while remembering there's no free breand and butter.

This is a charming restaurant that you must try. Great food, amazing wait staff and the ambiance is beyond amazing.

We have dined at Cork Tree several times and have always enjoyed our visit. The sea bass and short rib are excellent. They also have a shrimp and scallops special sometimes and it is very good as well. The oatmeal cookie tini is also great for a desert drink. Service is always on point. Try Cork Tree and I think you’ll will like it.
