Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Palm Desert

We had the bacon wrapped dates, sweet potato soup, pacifica salad, and seared sea bass. All were excellent-the soup was exceptionally delicious. We dined outside with a heater overlooking El Paseo street. Very quiet and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

I was impressed the minute I walked in; they already knew I had asked for outdoor seating. This kind of detail reception gives you a welcoming feeling. The food came very fast, with generous servings. I had to take half of my saltimbocca home. The two sides, broccoli and carrots, which I chose, were particularly delicious. My son ordered sand dabs and was not disappointed. I love the ambience. It reminds me of old-time restaurants in SF, where I live. Service was classy and dignified. I enjoy the meal as much as the environment. I was eating with my son. And we enjoyed a mother-son dinner together. But I think it would be a great place for a young couple on their first date. Or some guy trying to impress a lady, or vice versa. The atmosphere engenders warm feeling and prmotes good conversation. When I visit Palm Desert again, I'll definitely come back.

Good food and good service. The French Onion soup was excellent, and the profiteroles were outstanding.

Excellent Italian restaurant. We enjoy eating here every year when visiting friends in Indian Wells. The food is authentic and well prepared. We enjoyed spaghetti diavola with shrimp and a salmon dish along with an excellent Santa Margherita bottle of wine. Service is amazing with a very friendly staff. Well worth a visit when in Palm Desert.

Great food & friendly atmosphere. Live guitarist/singer was excellent. Great range of cocktails & lovely fresh food.
