Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Cathedral City

I recently had dinner at Willie’s with a group of six, and it was a delightful experience. We enjoyed a well-prepared four-course meal that didn’t disappoint. The food was flavorful and nicely presented, while the service was exceptional—our waiter was attentive and made sure everything went smoothly. The drinks could’ve been a touch stronger, but they were still enjoyable and complemented the meal well. Overall, Willie’s is a fantastic spot to gather with friends and family for a memorable evening. One note: If you plan to dine here, make an effort to dress appropriately—at the very least, in Palm Springs-style attire. I’m all for staying casual and comfortable, but come on, a little effort goes a long way in elevating the ambiance for everyone! Willie’s gets my recommendation, and I look forward to returning!

Our server Ricardo was wonderful and very attentive.

What a total gem! We are mid 50's and while the typical crowd may be older, we appreciated the excellent service, the owner greeting us at the door and checking on us during dinner, the super professional server, and the outstanding food. Seabass, sole and souffle were amazing!

The service and food were both exceptional! We both had the beet salad which was absolutely delicious followed by the Chilean sea bass and surf & turf. Everything was made to perfection and Ray our server was knowledgeable and attentive. Will definitely be back on our next trip to the desert!

For years we have gone to the JW Marriott but the experience at the Omni was a 1000% better. We were not rushed. Previously at the Marriott it was always chaos and over-crowded. The Omni had an amazing kids section which kept our nephew busy and fed while we could enjoy our meal. The food selection was fantastic and the staff was so kind and excited we were there. A+ for Thanksgiving Dinner.
