Their new underground bar/grotto is awesome! 2 seperate windows below water level to view the Olympic pool from while cocktailing. They put a lot of hard work in that place & it shows. Beautifully decorated. Awesome bartenders. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend it. Any place is better than Carlee's. read more

A fun experience. The meal started with rolls with butter, and toast with chicken pate. And complimentary champagne! My 6 ounce filet mignon was weirdly huge. But tasty, so no complaints. Everything else was tasty. The mid century hotel setting adds to the experience. We left full and happy. read more

Despite Yelp saying they were open on Wednesday for dinner and despite me following the link on the hotel that hosts them and making a reservation by following that link on the hotel website, when we arrived, the restaurant was dark and it was clear it was closed. The restaurant should stop using a system that makes reservations on a day. They are not actually open. The system sent me several reminders to make sure I would get there on time. It was very disappointing to find they were not open and you have to scramble to eat somewhere else in town. You will see the owner is angry I reported this happened to me. I have stayed here before, and it has some big points like a nice setting, though the place itself is a little down on its luck and needs some love and care before I would stay here again. One other thing that would help is not having the owner post snide comments on yelp when experiences at the hotel and restaurant are sub-par. read more

We had dinner here on a Sunday night Jan 2026. We had the prix fixe menu, I had the iron steak, husband had the Cornish hen. The food here was great. They started us off with home made rolls and some complimentary champagne (so nice!), the 1st course for me was a wedge salad and it was great. They gave a palate cleanser (some citrus sorbet) between courses, very classy. My steak was flavorful and tender, with the sides working really well with the meat. Husband's Cornish hen was tasty and delicious. Finally the dessert came - I had the berry cobbler which was so nice, tangy and sweet and just the right ending to a good meal. Husband had the cheesecake which he very much enjoyed. In general we had a great time and delicious meal here, and we definitely will be back whenever we are in this area again. Its so worth it. read more

Made a reservation a couple months the ago for an upcoming trip to Borrego Springs. Yesterday I received a text saying my reservation was canceled with no explanation. After several calls to answering service services, we finally got the answer that they are closing the restaurants on Sunday nights. a disappointment. This site says it is open on sundays. read more

Our experience was a disaster from start to finish. We had early reservations and were seated outside by the pool - great. Soon after we arrived, they seated a family with two young children at the table next to us in an otherwise empty restaurant. We ordered cocktails to start. My boyfriend's margarita had multiple fruit flies in it. It certainly seemed like the Rita was premixed (hence the fruit flies) which was disappointing for a restaurant with reviews like this. (My martini was fine.) We each ordered from the prix fixe menu. My partner ordered: crab cake, chicken cordon bleu, and sugar free dessert. I went with the two appetizer and dessert option. Service was both slow and uncoordinated, opting for two appetizers in lieu of an entree resulted in my food all coming out at once as my partner waited an additional 20 minutes to receive his entree. In addition to the haphazard service, the quality of the food was poor; most food items were previously frozen with minimal fresh ingredients. The Caesar salad was "wet" and inedible. Given the cost (and online reviews!), we had higher expectations. Adding to poor dining experience, hotel guests were free to roam the dining area opening up the opportunity for one guest to walk his dog, drink in hand, to urinate within 24 inches of our table. My partner spoke with the manager who made attempts to make the situation right, but removing a drink and appetizer from the total bill did not make up for the poor dining experience. The manager asked if we wanted our desserts and we both declined, paid our tab and left. We will not be returning to Coyote. We had MUCH better experiences at Michael's (and even Carlee's!) and will return to those establishments on our future visits. read more

Every year we go to the Coyote Steakhouse. This year was especially pleasant as we have met a nice young man named Saul. Saul was a good waiter, nice person, engaging, and tolerant of my old man jokes and advice. Saul is indicative of the attitude of all the employees there. It is simply a fun place which does have a definite Euro vibe. Love it. Till next years Saul! read more

Had a lovely experience at Coyote Steakhouse on a quiet, out-of-season weeknight. We ordered the oyesters rockefeller, wedge salad, and the rubeye. It was all very good. we also had a great red wine. There wine selection was well chosen and well priced . We ate at several other restaurants in the area and this was the best in terms of the restaurants. We will return. We also would like to call out our server Ramon. He was professional. informative, and very warm--equally with us visitors as with locals. read more

Another fabulous evening. Ramon and all of the staff were great, as always. My filet was so tender, like butter. We loved Steve Hunter on the piano, playing festive holiday music. Highly recommended. read more

Came to break Springs for a two day get away from San Diego, made reservations at this steakhouse that was located in hotel. We were immediately greeted and seated, and the staff were there were beyond attentive. We started with crabcakes and Aji tuna. I did the four course meal with the steak tips and she ordered the ribeye, and the food was very good. It was a very quiet hotel when we were there in the ambience in the restaurant with sort of romantic. If we're in the neighborhood, we definitely would be back. read more

We had a great meal here and the staff are super friendly! The hotel lobby is also very quaint and upscale. This is likely the nicest restaurant in Borrego (I know that's not saying much), but they do a nice job here. read more

My rating: 3.5 Coyote Steakhouse had been on my list for a while and during a winter visit to Borrego, we finally checked it off. The experience was pleasant, but was somehow slightly lacking and not the 'high end steakhouse' experience that I'd imagined. Read on for my full review... WE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THE PRIX-FIXE MENU The restaurant is located in a mid-century modern hotel. You walk through the attractive lobby to the check-in desk. We arrived before 6pm to take advantage of the reduced priced prix-fixe dinner, which consisted of a limited choice of an appetizer, main entrée and desert. The food was decent, although portions are moderate. I thought the mash potato was salty. Presentation was attractive, although we did note both of our desert bowls were chipped in more than one place. ATMOSPHERE The dining room is dimly lit with darkly painted walls and a stone wall feature. It was festively decorated for the holidays while we were there. Since we noted in the reservation that we were celebrating, they decorated the table with confetti and a table-top tinsel decor, which was a nice touch. There was soft music playing. The dining room was quite quiet when we were there and lacked a bit of atmosphere. SERVICE The service is adequate and friendly, although it was not quite as polished or 'high-end' as I was expecting for a steakhouse. Not sure if it was because we visited on an evening during the holiday season, but the whole hotel, lobby and restaurant felt a little dead and lifeless, lacking atmosphere. PARKING There is complimentary parking outside the hotel, although note that the ground is desert sand, so be prepared for your shoes to get really dusty! CASH DISCOUNT There is a 3% discount for paying in cash. I wish we'd known that before visiting. CONCLUSION We enjoyed the food and I'm glad we finally tried the restaurant, but I'm not sure I would rush back. We did visit their sister restaurant 'Red Ocotillo' for breakfast, which was excellent. Helpful? read more

A special meal for sure!! Extras make it over the top. The prix fixe menu makes it a leas expensive treat! You start with warm rolls & crunchy bread rounds to go pefectly with pate & whipped butter. We had ahi tartare, caesar salad, soup du jour, all excellent. Then you are served a small scoop of lemon sobert as a palete cleaner. Cornish game hen, mac & cheese and cordon bleu were our main courses, all great!! Then desserts which were yummy. Inside or out seating. Out is great if it's not buggy. MCM style decorated. A great deal & lovely evening. read more

We had the good fortune to dine at The Coyote Steakhouse on New Year's Eve. The service was excellent and the food even better! We had complimentary sparkling wine as well as all the hats, noisemakers, and holiday decorations made the evening special. My husband has six and turf and I enjoyed a wonderful lobster thermadore. Highly recommend the steakhouse! read more

Outside evening patio heat lamp next to our table was not working, we asked our server that our heat lamp needed to be lit. We asked three times as this was our anniversary dinner on Valentines day. Some brought our propane tanks left them near our table, unlit. We asked the asst mgr to have the heat lamp lit and she couldn't light it. No one at your restaurant knew how to light the heat lamp. So out of frustration, we left as it was cold outdoors dining with a non functioning heat lamp.. It ruined our evening. read more

We enjoyed this restaurant for the first time tonight. We were celebrating my grandma's 88th birthday, and the restaurant went all out: noise makers, confetti, and a birthday hat. We each received a complimentary glass of sparkling wine to start... another surprise to add to the birthday goodies. The servers Ramon and Saul were top notch. They checked on us regularly and made sure everything was perfect. They were attentive but did not check in too often. The food was solid and the prix fixe menu before 6pm is a really good deal! The crab cake was my favorite thing. Thank you Ramon and Saul for making this evening a special one! read more

We met Ramon last summer at Red Ocotillo, where he waited on us. Immediately we connected with him. He's charismatic and engaging and truly cares for his customers. But he was nowhere to be seen this summer. And then this past weekend we went to the Anza Borrego Foundation mixer at Coyote Steakhouse and to our great surprise, there he was, behind the bar. It was like reuniting with an old friend. As it turns out, Ramon is not just a great waiter, but he's also a wonderfully talented bartender, who hands down makes one of the most balanced and exquisite margaritas in Borrego. No mix, just fresh squeezed deliciousness. Can't wait to go back for Happy Hour and that welcoming smile of his. read more

The service was good. The ambience was very good. We did the fix priced menu. It was okay, but we plan to go back and order off the menu. A couple years ago we went for my birthday and sat on the patio. It was really nice. They spoiled me well and we will go back every year during our visit. read more

The hostess asked us if we had a reservation when we arrived and since we didn't we sat at a table in the bar which was fine. There is a special happy hour menu that we ordered from which included an appetizer, entree, and dessert. All 3 courses were great. We both had the flat iron steak. Overall, if you're visiting this town you need to slow down. There is a tranquil beauty to the place and there is no need to rush. read more

The remarkable mid-century architecture, the setting of the poolside restaurant inside The Palms at Indian Head Hotel and the thoughtfully prepared entrees are reasons enough to dine at Coyote Steakhouse. The biggest plus, though, is the graciousness of the staff. They make sure you are comfortable and having fun. Saul, our server, was great. read more

Party of 6 at 5:30PM. We all ordered from the fixed price menu. Our appetizers were Ceasar salads, wedge salad all were good. Nice twists on each. Entrees were pork loins, chicken cordon bled, flank steaks, and again everyone was very pleased. Desserts were a coconut thing (can you tell I don't like coconut?) and a berry cobbler with ice cream that was delicious. Wine list had a good assortment of quality wines, not too lengthy. Our server, Ramon, was attentive. I had to ask him to repeat his name, he did, and said we could call him anything but xxxxx. So, we proceeded to call him by several other names, he laughed every time. He had a great sense of humor. read more

Food was fantastic. We ordered off the prix fixe menu. My bf had the chicken cordon bleu and said it was the best he ever had. I had the flat iron steak which was cooked to perfection and had a very tasty mushroom sauce. The Caesar salad was a bit too fishy for me. There were bits of anchovy in the dressing. So I didn't finish it. Loved the free champagne and the palate cleansing lemon sorbet. I had the snowball for dessert. So yummy. The only con is that they have a piano player with beautiful music playing, but the music in the bar was so loud, we couldn't hear it! The music in the bar does not fit the vibe of the restaurant. (70s pop) I asked Ramon if he could turn it down and he did which helped a little bit, but again, just doesn't fit. They should either play Sinatra, Crosby, Dean Martin (standards) or just let the sounds of the piano waft in. Ramon was awesome! My reservation indicated this was a birthday meal but I guess that was overlooked. I told Ramon it was my bfs birthday and he was embarrassed that they didn't do anything. We went out to listen to the piano and get a drink and a few minutes later, Ramon came out with some other waiters, had the piano player play "happy birthday" and they sang to him. Ramon is a GEM!!! read more

Saturday was our last evening in Borrego and Husband & I decided to splurge on a nice dinner. Coyote Steakhouse did not disappoint, beginning with young hostess being welcoming & seating us promptly. Ramon was our server and couldn't be more attentive & helpful in our dinner choices. I was going to start with a martini but Ramon brought us both champagne, on the house! Mr had the Fillet which he said was very tender. I had the Ribeye, not quite so tender but tasty & a generous portion (took half home). We also shared a bottle of wine and enjoyed the ambiance as we ate. Definitely a place we'd go to again! read more

Ramon was outstanding. The food and service was great. The resort has an interesting feel to it so we were not too sure when we rolled up to the dirt parking lot. We were pleasantly surprised. I had the prime-rib and my wife had the ribeye, the flavor and doneness where perfect. Unfortunately we were too full to order dessert. read more
