    I'll be honest, I don't like to give horrible reviews. But I just couldn't squeeze out a 2nd star for this restaurant located by the pool in the Renaissance Indian Wells Resort & Spa. The service was bad, the food took forever, and when it arrived, I wouldn't even call it tasty. The restaurant was less than half full, yet our food for a party of 2 took about 1 hr 15 minutes to be served. During that time, we didn't get one drink refill offered to us. When the food came, my $50 NY Steak was a gristly mess. I ate about half of it and just left the rest. A pricey restaurant like this has a few shots at being good. Service Wait Time Food quality Unfortunately, CAVA didn't meet my expectations on any of these.

    This restaurant has a big pool side patio. Service is nice and friendly. Their burgers are good and always a solid choice. The chicken sandwich needs a napkin on the bottom to avoid soggy bread. Some burgers were over cooked but overall it was good. Their salads were tasty especially when you add protein like shrimp.

    Excellent place for family dinner after a day at the pool. The service, cleanliness and staff are excellent. The menu is very simple and has lots of options for everyone. The staff is very friendly with everyone as you walk in. We will definitely return .

    My family and I came here for a weekend staycation and decided to dine here for breakfast and we were happy with our choice! I did see some reviews online about a breakfast buffet but it didn't state anywhere on their website about it. When we arrived they told us about the buffet and it was $33 per person and my son (age 2) ate for free. My husband and I both opted for that and we enjoyed the omelette bar made fresh to order and the juice bar where you can make yourself a fresh pressed juice! There were other options like pancakes, waffles, even smoked salmon with bagels, & the standard hot breakfast items. All the waitresses were so nice! They even walked around handing out fresh smoothies. Overall enjoyed our experience here and would dine again next time we come!

    Burger was good. Fries were pretty oily for being sweet potato fries. Also saw another order and my fries were def have of the serving as well. Server was nice but service was a bit slow.

    The omelette MAVEN!!!!

    Spoiler Alert: This'll sound like fangirling, but its 99% about the staff - so that's how this review will go... Ashly & Ruby are so guest oriented & driven, I fear they don't know about the amazing & beautiful impact they have upon human, ultimately. These teammates have greeted myself & my partner with grace, warmth & a genuine i interest in how we're enjoying our holiday. Ruby will make anything happen for my girl & Ashly covers my deceit/surprises like a true wingman - and hey, that's all I need, frankly?, amiright? These guys + the whole mischpucha absolutely form a constellation of twinkling & shining stars, making this lil' Jewess's Christmas extra special, bright, magical & oh-so-delish! ps: um... DO YOU EVEN OMELETTE?! ...I'm moving in.

    I did not expect the food to be as good as they tasted (Sorry! I hope this doesn't offend the restaurant). As there are not many competitors in the area, I just assumed less. Families - You should try Cava especially if you are staying at the hotel. All $10 with side of fries and a drink. The serving size is same as regular size. I will be back on my next trip to Dessert.

    We visited Eureka for the first time in mid-April for dinner with a large group celebrating a…read morefamily member's special day. Our reservation was for 12 people, and although four members of our party were running late ( My husband, our kids and I), the staff was incredibly accommodating. They held our table and even allowed us to order ahead so our food would be ready when we arrived. This ended up being a lifesaver because we were short on time and had an event immediately afterward. As soon as we sat down, our food started arriving. With a 3-year-old, a baby, and a tight schedule, having everything run so smoothly made a huge difference. I was honestly impressed that they were able to coordinate this so efficiently, especially during dinner service and for such a large party. Now for the food! Since it was our first visit, we weren't exactly sure what to expect, but everything we tried was delicious. I ordered the truffle cheese fries, cheese balls, and sweet corn, and each dish was flavorful and well-prepared. The cheese balls were especially memorable! They had the perfect texture, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and not greasy or soggy at all. My husband ordered the Jalapeño Egg Burger and was pleasantly surprised that it could be made with a gluten-free bun. It's always nice to see restaurants offering options that accommodate different dietary needs without sacrificing flavor. Our 3-year-old enjoyed a plain burger and fries from the kids' menu, which was the perfect size for him. What stood out most was the service. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. Dining out with two children under three can be chaotic, but the team made our experience feel easy and stress-free. Between the excellent service, accommodating staff, and delicious food, our first visit to Eureka was a great one. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

    We always try to find new restaurants to add to our Palm Desert rotation, and this is a contender…read more We arrived around 10 on a Tuesday and were seated right away, but it took awhile to get our food. There were a lot of breakfast options, from specialty pancakes and waffles to unique omelets and Mexicandishes like Chilaquiles. I got the Biancasada omelet, which has carne asada, peppers, onions and cheese. It is served with your choice of side (I got potato wedges) and bread (I subbed the grilled peach specialty pancake). The omelet was ok...the carne asada wasn't great and the other ingredients could have been cooked more. The wedges were good, but I didn't like the grilled peach pancake as much as I thought I would and wished I would have got the lemon blueberry. Portions were big, and I took half to go. Hubby got the chorizo con papas omelet with hash browns cooked extra crispy and a buttermilk pancake. The omelet was really good, and the hash browns were cooked well. The pancake was a pancake. They only have Pepsi products, so I went with water, which they refilled well. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and they had Hawaiian music playing. I'd come back to try lunch. The sandwiches and burgers coming out looked good.

We were seated right away and chose to sit on the patio since the weather was nice. The patio had a shaded seating area which made it really comfortable. My 3-year-old ordered the kids' egg breakfast, and the portions were very generous. I would have liked the hash browns to be a little crispier, but they were still good overall. I can't quite remember our server's name--I believe it was Pam--but she was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our visit. I kept things simple and ordered the 6 oz grilled chicken with a side of sweet potato and avocado since I'm trying to watch what I eat (doctor's orders). What I really had my eye on, though, was the Reuben sandwich--maybe next time! Overall, it was a great little diner and a nice surprise find. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area

The pizza had a wonderful crispy crust topped with a large amount of meats vegetables and cheese. Cooked thoroughly to perfection, not undercooked like works pizza can be but just right.the fries were hit, crispy and soft inside. Great flavor even without ketchup or ranch which we also had. The service was chill, laid back and very friendly. I felt like I was being served by good welcoming friends. One downside was the server who took our order, forgot to put it in the computer which caused a 45 minute delay. Taking it in stride he immediately offered to comp the whole meal and drinks, taking the blame upon himself. Stand up guy! I offered to at least pay for the drinks and he wouldn't let me. Regardless of the time delay, we had a great time and the food was outstanding. We will be back.
