Best Casual Restaurants in Palm Desert

The 4 of us ladies had a wonderful dinner with great service while we watched a football game and got caught up on our friendship’s . It’s always a great experience at Kitchen 86!

We tried the Hideout when it first opened and hadn’t been back in a while. However, after seeing so many positive reviews on next-door, decided to try it again. I went with a few friends and we tried different pizzas and one of the girls had scallops. All the food was delicious. We also had a couple different cocktails that were great as well if you haven’t been here in a while or before, check it out. The new bar area is a nice addition as well.

The happy hour menu is fantastic and great value! We will come here again for quick delicious appetizers. The staff are all super friendly too.

The food and service were good. But we went specifically to see the Art of Sax band. The website showed they were going to be there, but were told when we got there that they had “another gig”. Very disappointing.

We went to a wine pairing dinner at Wildest and were thoroughly impressed with the restaurant and the food especially. The wine pairings were spot on but the wine itself was not one of our favorites. There were 6 courses (all small plates, of course) and each one was delicious with a beautiful presentation. We were happy to learn that most of the food we had is part of their regular menu so we will definitely be back for more. The service was good but for a wine pairing dinner, we kept getting the wine before the food. Since the wine owner was speaking about the various characteristics of the wine, we kept tasting and then had little left when the food finally arrived. But the whole evening was great!
