We had a reservation at 6:30 and they took us right in to a nice cozy table away from the bustle of the casino. Service was excellent and food was worth the price. I had the escargot, fillet mignon with Béarnaise sauce and creamed spinach. Steak cut like butter and was perfectly cooked to my preference. We had tickets to The Show so they bagged up our leftovers and held them for us until after the concert. We will definitely eat here again on our next visit!

Another terrific lunch at 849. Everything was impeccable. 849 is one of the best values found in the Coachella Valley. The plates are beautifully presented and the flavors are excellent. Service from greeting to goodbye is topnotch. Friendly, efficient and very helpful. The ambiance is unique and very pleasant. We will try dinner soon. Congratulations to the team at 849.
