Decided on a second one, even better, got a good buzz going, so of course I had a third. By this time I forgot where I was.

Highly recommend you try this fine establishment, you can't go wrong. (Burb) or not!

Melissa (Owner) Pays for fake 5-star reviews. DO NOT TRUST THEM…read more We had to leave because of the awful service. After being seated, we waited about 25 minutes for a server. We informed the staff, but they did not seem to care. When the server finally came, he brought our appetizer about 15 minutes later, but did not provide any utensils. After that, we did not see him again for over 18 minutes. At that point, we decided to leave. The service was rude, careless, and very unpleasant. Other than that, the resort service is a zero too. Makes perfect sense

"Vicky's of Santa Claus"…read more The restaurant is way too loud -- even if you're seated way out in the back on the opposite side, far far away from the live music. The crowd: mostly local seniors who like to drink & drink and shout out loud when they speak. Not that there's a problem with that. It's not my thing or scene. The owner & manager, Marc & Mark have serious attitude problems and way too full of themselves. They're extremely rude and unprofessional. This is not just coming from me -- other reviewers shared their true feelings too. Service was very s-l-o-w and had to flag everyone down for everything & anything -- even for refills of water and bread. Never asked if anyone wanted to order another adult beverage. Had to ask for dessert menus long after finished with dinner. Their bread tho is good and deserves half a star (of my 2-star rating) Wifey's wine by the glass not good. It was supposed to be a Pinot. It tasted more like a fruity-tutti red. I sampled it and agree. Food is average/mediocre. Nothing memorable. Menu is simple and not overwhelming. Prices are on the higher end but standard. Portions are fairly large. Calamari was overcooked and way too chewy...and the seasoning tastes like Spicy Doritos. It's rare I/we meet a calamari we don't like. All entrees are ala carte... My rack of lamb was served rare & raw and the prep chef was extremely heavy handed with the salt. Because that's all you can taste -- along with the extra gamey chewy lamb. Wifey's veal chop was excellent quality (worthy of another star) but lacked seasoning and there's no sauce. It needs a little sauce. We dined with another couple who raved to us about Vicky's...so we decided not to be rude and complain. Baked potato was served underdone. That's where we drew-the-line and sent it back and didn't ask for a replacement. Asparagus was excellent and best thing of my entire meal...worth another 1/2 star. Dessert options were so boring we all took a hard pass. Can you say, simple apple pie or ice cream? Worst dessert offerings I've seen in a long time at a fine dining resto. I've refrained from writing this review but felt the need to express my freedom of speech. Maybe it's a good thing they're closed throughout the summer and reopening in September, so you don't have to waste your time & money here.

I ordered the spaghetti chitarra con pollo, while my wife chose the pollo al mattone. Both dishes were absolutely outstanding--rich, flavorful, and perfectly executed. The basil gimlet is a must-try: refreshing, crisp, and perfectly balanced. Our server, Brandy, truly completed the experience. Her hospitality, charm, and attention to detail made us feel genuinely welcomed and elevated the entire evening. La Spiga is without question a must-visit when you're in Palm Desert. And whatever you do, save room for dessert--the tiramisu cake is incredible, hands down one of the best cakes I've ever had.

Our server, Justin, was fantastic--attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. He had great recommendations and made sure everything came out perfectly. The steak skewers with chimichurri were incredible. Kids loved them and left no food on their plates. The cocktails were also impressive. Much better than any Los Angeles bar I've been too lately. Everyone at our table ordered something different, so I ended up tasting four different drinks, and every single one was excellent. The jalapeño margarita was hands down the best I've ever had--perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat. The watermelon vodka cocktail was delightful and refreshing, and the cucumber refresher was crisp, light, and perfect for a warm evening. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in La Quinta!

The AC at our first table was blasting cold air right on us and the staff moved us right away with no issue at all. They were also incredibly kind to my youngest whose birthday we were celebrating.

I am writing to bring attention to an extremely disappointing and humiliating experience at Las…read moreCasuelas in Palm Desert on Cinco de Mayo. My daughter and I stood at the entrance for several minutes without being greeted. During that time, the manager was visibly overwhelmed and speaking harshly to the young hostesses, who appeared uncomfortable and trying to maintain composure. Despite this, no one acknowledged us until I offered a friendly "Happy Cinco de Mayo," at which point a hostess kindly stepped in to seat us. Unfortunately, the situation escalated. Twice, as we were being seated, the manager abruptly intervened -- placing reserved signs down and yelling at the hostess, myself and daughter we could not sit there. His tone was harsh, dismissive, and unnecessarily confrontational. This happened two times at two different tables that we were escorted to by the hostess and in front of my young daughter. Needless to say it was both uncomfortable and humiliating. I have never experienced a restaurant manager behave with this level of disrespect toward a guest, especially a woman with her child. I felt embarrassed and heartbroken that my daughter had to witness this. When I calmly approached him to understand the situation, he responded by stating they had "400 reservations," followed by dismissive and aggressive body language that made it clear we were not welcome. The interaction ended with us leaving and both tears. My daughter said "I'm scared mommy, why was that man so mean". A guest from the restaurant who was dinning and witnessed the incident came out just to see if we were ok. Equally concerning was how he treated his own staff, especially female staff setting a negative and unprofessional tone throughout the front of house. As someone from a fourth-generation family in the restaurant industry, I find this especially disheartening. I would be deeply concerned if any manager in our organization treated a guest or employees this way. I understand holidays are demanding, but being busy does not excuse a lack of basic respect and professionalism. I am sharing this in hopes that upper management addresses this directly. No woman / person and her child should have to experience this kind of treatment.
