Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Palm Desert

Jillians is an elegant, lovely restaurant. Both the courtyards and the inside dining are beautiful. Our waiter, Fernando, was the epitome of classy service. This is not a place to be in a rush; it's a place to order your cocktail and enjoy it before you even think about food, which is delicious.

The service was great. The food was delicious.. I will return!

Excellent service, location is great, food delectable, highly recommend it.

Wally's Desert Turtle is the most beautiful restaurant in the Coachella Valley and the finest dining experience I've had anywhere. We had a 6:00 reservation for dinner and started at 5:00 in the bar when they open. We were so comfortable sitting in the bar and frankly, that menu appealed to me more, so we just stayed where we were and listened to their charming musician as he wowed us playing a saxophone and another reed instrument at the same time! I ordered the mushroom soup, the breadbasket, and a Caesar salad. The first two items were delicious, but the salad tasted very fishy, and I had requested no anchovies. I've had their Caesar salad before, and this dressing was not balanced. Husband had the chicken dish from the regular menu. It was my birthday, and they brought over a bread pudding dessert with a candle when we finished our dinner and when it came time to pay the bill, they didn't charge us for the salad. It's a beautiful, elegant, delicious place to be and you will be lovingly cared for by their very professional staff. The Friday fashion show luncheon is a fun thing to do sometime.

My wife and I who are regular customers of Si Bon came in for dinner and both began with their “Soup of the Day “ Hot Carrot Soup made from fresh ingredients. All of their daily soups are great. We also both had iced tea. My wife had a dinner special, Grilled Orange Roughy that our server, Sofia, had told us was substituted for Branzino which actually was shown on the menu. I enjoyed the Oregon Sand Dabs. Both meals were delicious and prepared with excellence.
