    Chicken Katsu
    Winnie T.

    Menu option very limited. Food is ok, definitely can't compare with Tia Carmen (even though they shared the same executive chef). Service is ok, a bit rush. They put down the check for us before we even finish the dinner. A bit rush to me as the restaurant is only half full. If Tia Carmen opens, you should definitely headed to that restaurant right across from this one. For a quick bite, just grab something at the poolside cafe. I will bypass this one.

    I must say I am always skeptical about restings in hotelz but this was amazing. Right from the host/hostess, table service, outdoor seating, appetizers, main course was all amazing to the point. Quite a few vegetarian options. The veg burger, Mediterranean salad and the kids pasta were all amazing and spot on. The ambience is very romantic and pleasing.

    Deviled eggs and CRISPY POTATOES = mind blown! The deviled eggs had the creamiest yolk, and those crispy potatoes? Absolute perfection. Drinks were on point, and the service was top-tier--friendly, fast, and super welcoming. What an incredible desert restaurant and bar--the vibe, the flavors, the staff... all amazing. Already planning my next visit!

    The best burrata I've had!!

    Everything is great here. From the food, to the drinks, to the staff! I definitely will always come back here because it is just amazing. Shoutout to Omar for keeping the drinks flowing and tasting amazing! The inside is nice and cozy and the patio seating is equally amazing. Give this place a try when you are in Indian wells.

    Last Saturday, I came here for dinner after attending the Miss California USA pageant event. All the dishes were delicious. I was starving! We were a party of 7 and we shared everything. I love trying a variety of foods here. Everything was great! Our server was awesome checking in on us from time to time. I would come back if I am in town again.

    Vegan burger - black bean w/ vegan cheese, lettuce, tomato and grilled onion on a whole wheat bun.

    We thought this place was great! Indoor and outdoor seating. Both had TVs which was nice since we wanted to watch football, Our service was fantastic, despite being fully packed. Prompt server, food came out quickly, etc. Perhaps they've improved since the other reviews. Nicely decorated / great ambiance. We were only 2 people but plenty of large tables for big groups. We both had the vegan black bean burger. I appreciate a fully vegan option you don't need to alter. There were actually other vegan options (pasta pomodoro) including a dessert. We were so full from the burgers we didn't get more. The burger was really good. On a whole wheat bun, lettuce, tomato, grilled onion and vegan cheese that melted really well. I'm not sure which brand of vegan cheese, couldn't pin point it. Perhaps their own? I thought it was one of the better ones as some are not good and have odd textures. I don't think you'd know this was vegan cheese. Great flavor with the burger overall. It was a little messy, the burger could use more structure to hold together. So we ate with a fork and knife. Still really enjoyed it! I would recommend this place!

    Stepping in, the ambience is a "cool" dark, the child of a rugged bar and an LA American food…read morerestaurant. Lively, diverse, energized full of bright faces that bring light to the dimly lit space. Service was stellar - attentive, on it, anticipated needs/preferences before they were even addressed. A quick anecdote, the waitress made PROACTIVE decisions knowing I am Vegan, not just reactive - a rare thing outside of high dining restaurant. Red wine flight included a fantastic Cab & Cab Reserve, and a "very good" Pinot...and that's coming from a person who does not drink Pinot. I didn't care for the blend but then again I never care for a blend as it is. Food was "American" style tapas - small plates of well crafted foods ranging from flatbread pizza to meatballs to vege pockets and (for me) a "Vegan Stack" composed of rice, mango, avocado, and a delicious spicy mayo. Tiramisu dessert disappeared in all of 20 seconds, well plated and beautifully crafted. You will not leave La Fe thinking to yourself "that was the greatest food I've ever had," but you may just leave thinking "this was the best time with my friends I've ever had" - and THAT is what this restaurant is for -- Bring your friends for a night on the town, bring your family for an energized reunion, bring yourself for a social time itch-scratching. In other words, this restaurant has a unique PLACE in the Palm Desert area: it is the place to happy social.

They also have a full bar now, so there are many more options for libations while you eat. We arrived right on time for our 6PM reservation and we were seated at the outdoor table we pined for. The weather and the setting definitely started this dinner with a positive outlook. We were a party of five, with three of us ordering different Taco alternatives. I requested the Shrimp, my wife asked for the Salmon and our daughter selected Filet Mignon. The flavor of all the Tacos was out of this world, as the ingredients and the sauces involved within those corn tortillas meshed together magically. I will say that paying $20 for two small tacos that weren't PACKED was a little bit of a RIP. The other two guests in our party went for two different types of Pizza. They both boxed a slice or two to take home. As sides, we had two orders of Truffle Fries and one of the Brussel Sprouts. Both were phenomenal but the veggies could have been more plentiful. To go with our dinners, my wife and I brought our own Meadowcroft GSM that generated two surprises for us. One was how great it accompanied what we ingested, the other was the $30 corkage on the bill. To round out the night out, my daughter shared a Sundae-Sundae with the other guests. Being able to get out to see new restaurants once a month is a gift, and most of what we experienced was a HUGE thumbs up. We just felt like what was provided in a casual setting was a little overpriced. This will not be on a future "to do" list.

The mussels are normally cooked with some kind of pork, which I don't eat, but when I asked if it was possible to get it without pork, they said they could definitely do that, which is never expected but definitely always appreciated! The lamb chops were delicious and cooked to perfection. They came on a bed of some sort of salad, with some aioli and mint jelly. Personally the salad and jelly didn't work for me but my husband's short rib (which was also cooked perfectly) came on a bed of cauliflower puree which was so delicious that I ate half. On night two, I ordered the lamb chops again but requested they be served with the cauliflower puree, and they happily obliged. My husband got branzino, which he thought was good but I thought it was great, and I usually don't care for it. Pro tip: They offer a $15 corkage fee but I think you may have to ask when you make a reservation and they also have a $15 coupon (business card) at the front desk. The service was great, both of our waitresses were perfectly attentive and the bussers were on point. This is now one of my favorite restaurants in the area and we plan to come back every time we are in town.

Happy Hour is 3:30-6 and there's a few dollar discount on selected food items and drinks. For appetizers, we ordered the Burrata platter and the dates. We also ordered a date burger and the following martinis: pear, pink lady, and espresso martini. This was my first time trying an espresso martini (ever) and I'm glad I waited until the end of dinner before ordering it. It's more a dessert or finishing drink. The Burrata platter was delicious and beautifully presented. The dates were good but too sweet for our tastes (yes, we are aware dates are naturally sweet, LOL). We only ate a few and saved the rest for later. The date burger and fries were delicious. The only downside was I asked for the burger to be cooked medium and it was well done. The drinks were good and beautifully presented. The ambiance and atmosphere, for this restaurant, is very upscale and unique. I will continue visiting each time I'm in La Quinta. See you soon!
