- DDianneSan Francisco Bay Area •12 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOur evening at Mimmo’s was fantastic. It was a reunion/celebration, and our waitress could not have been nicer. When we sat down, she took our drink orders. After we were settled, she told us the list of specials( which there were many) and left us to visit. She would occasionally check on us. At one point she asked if we would like appetizers or something else, and we opted for bruschetta and shrimp cocktails (which were one of the specials). We were served and again, left to visit and enjoy our evening. After a while, she returned and asked if we would like something for dinner. We all had some variety of pasta and it was delicious. Finally, after a delicious dinner , dessert was offered. I had “homemade limoncello!” Fantastic! We will definitely return to Mimmo’s. Our waitress (and unfortunately I don’t remember her name) was the best. Very accommodating and was available and helpful. She definitely added to our dining experience.More infoMimmo's Italian RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Italian• Palm Desert•4.7
- WWendyvipToronto / Ontario •7 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe went for a late lunch and sat on the patio. Perhaps when there are more people it is a great patio, but we were the only ones there so aesthetically wasn't that pleasing. Having said that, it certainly was quiet, the food was excellent and our server was wonderful. The inside restaurant is beautifully decorated. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back!More infoBabaloo LoungePrice: Expensive• Gastro Pub• Palm Desert•4.2
- RRobinvipPalm Springs / Palm Desert Cities •64 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoI’m always looking for new places to try. On the recommendation of someone on NextDoor, I took my sister there for happy hour for her birthday. Oh my! We laughingly started with dessert - a chocolate martini. The best we’ve ever had. We ordered Grandma‘s meatballs, buffalo cauliflower, and buffalo shrimp. I must say, the buffalo in those two items is no joke. Loved the ambience. The service was superb. Our server, Brian, and busboy were very personable and attentive. Will definitely be returning to try some of the other dishes.More infoThe Hideout Kitchen + BarPrice: Moderate• American• Palm Desert•4.6
