    Garlic bread
    Brooke A.

    We went here for dinner with a large group of-- they were quite accommodating with seating us inside, and the service was very attentive. The food left a little to be desired, though. The garlic bread pictures with the small tin of dipping sauces, which was recommended by our server, was $17 and quite a small portion considering it was just bread and sauce. The garlic bread was good and somewhat cheesy, but definitely not worth the price. We had well-prepared main dishes, including the enchiladas and eggplant parmigiana. This restaurant reminded me of a BJs or Cheesecake Factory, only with higher prices with no increase in quality. It is perfectly fine for a dinner in a pinch but I would probably not go back. The booth we sat in also had crumbs on the seat when we arrived. The overall ambiance is upscale but there were some details such as the number of plates and water glasses served and the little cleanliness pieces that left something to be desired.

    Love this place! Food, service, ambience all great! Prices are on the high end of reasonable.

    Margherita Pizza
    Allen L.

    No complaints about the food quality and taste. I took my order to go. The Margherita pizza is pretty good. The crust is paper thin. Cheese and toppings loaded to the edge. I had to reheat each slice individually in a frying pan to crisp it up again, the crust is so thin, it can get soggy rapidly. I did feel that ~$24 with tax and tip for a 12" pizza is a little plush.

    Margherita Pizza  so good!

    Okay, you know I am a New Yorker not matter how long I have lived in California, right?! So, with that said...I am very picky about my Za! It's like all the stars have to be aligned properly...but I digress. I stopped by here after reading a yelp review with positive feedback. The inside is very nice with plenty of seating and a beautiful bar. I ordered it to go because I was dateless that night. I waited by the bar for my order. The staff was super nice and very courteous to me. They offered me water and before I knew it my order was ready. I was a starvin' Marvin and could not wait until I got back to my Airbnb to eat. Lol. This pizza was delectable!!!! The right amount of cheese, sauce and crust ratio was happening and this girl's taste buds were doing the happy dance. Who cares that it was 113 degrees out at 7:30 pm, I was eating that hot cheesy pizza while driving. Shhhh you didn't hear that:) Yummmmmm! And my side salad was good too. The next day I heated up my left over margherita pizza and it was just as good. Would definitely go back here and highly recommend this place for dining in or taking out. Plenty of parking in the lot. Check the website to confirm hours of operation during the summer. There were a few days they were closed.

    THE AMBIANCE: Amazing hidden gem in the desert! This…read morerestaurant is located inside La Quinta Resort & Club, and the experience feels special from the moment you walk through the historic, tall arched wooden doors. The entrance lead you down a hallway toward the hostess stand, with couches, a bar and a piano being played to the left. To the right , you enter the main dining room. The space felt open, elegant, and immediately welcoming. Talk about fine dining at its best. The hostess was able to quickly seat our party of six, and our server immediately brought over the menus and filled our water glasses. THE FOOD: We started with the oysters , and they did not disappoint. They were served with a shallot mignonette which was vinegary in all the right ways. They were so good, that we ended up ordering a second round. For dinner, we all ordered the steak with mushrooms and broccoli. The steak was perfectly cooked, and every bite was bursting with flavor. Even the mushrooms and broccoli stood out. Everything was seasoned beautifully without overpowering the actual flavors of the vegetables. Even the bread was so good. It was served with three different butters. And dessert? Also top notch. It was the perfect ending to a wonderful dinner with friends. THE SERVICE: The service really added to the experience. Our server was attentive and took great care of us. The GM, Ray, also stopped by our table, and we ended up chatting and joking with him a bit. He was incredibly friendly and personable and made sure we were having a great experience. Between the setting, the food, the genuinely attentive service, this as one of those dinners where it all felt elevated. Definitely one of the many highlights of our stay at La Quinta Resort.

    Morgan's in the Desert: Disappointment After Disappointment. $400 for Meh…read more After living in La Quinta for four years, we were ready to try Morgan's, as it's one of the last foodie restaurants in the Coachella valley that we haven't tried. We arrived early for our reservation, excited to grab a drink at the bar before dinner. Then we were told our table was already available... only to be seated at a dining table in the bar, off to the side, where apparently servers do not exist while staring at the back of the pianist and the barflies. The two bartenders were fantastic--especially Brian, who was working at warp speed--but they already had a packed bar to manage. Adding dining tables to their workload was clearly not realistic. Why were we seated there? Still a mystery. Reservation problems: I booked through the QR code advertised in The Gem for the August prix fixe dinners at La Quinta Resort's restaurants. When we arrived, we were told the prix fixe menu wasn't available that day. Sorry! So we ordered bread and oysters instead. About 15-20 minutes later, the manager came over and said they would honor the prix fixe after all. Great! Except... we'd already ordered appetizers. ‍ And wow, was it SLOW. We were seated at 5:30 and still didn't have our entrées at 7:00. Drinks regularly sat empty, and once the restaurant got busy around 6:30, water refills disappeared completely. Did I mention it was 110 degrees outside? The food? A mixed bag--but overall, wildly overpriced and underwhelming. * Oysters: Ice-cold and served with a good mignonette. Also pricey. * Bread: Fresh and warm, but the olive tapenade was aggressively salty. Again, overpriced. * Watermelon salad: The winner! Refreshing, flavorful, and the spicy nuts gave it a nice kick. Highly recommend. * Chicken cacciatore: Dry chicken, undercooked tomatoes, overcooked pasta. Never again. * Oscar filet: Delicious and well-prepared, but nothing memorable or special--especially for the price. Bottom line: We spent about $400 for a frustrating, painfully slow, mostly mediocre meal. There are too many great restaurants in the area to spend that kind of money on "meh." We won't be back.

    We enjoyed The Cantina…read more We arrived around 1 pm on a very hot weekday. Outdoor seating, overlooking the Polo Fields were available but it was just too hot to sit outdoors. The place wasn't busy and we were seated inside right away. Water, Chips and Salsa was brought out right away. We were here with another couple. They ordered special Chips that came with Salsa, Queso and Guacamole. They shared it with us and it was quite tasty. My wife and I shared a bowl of Chicken Tortilla Soup and a Southwestern Salad. Both were hearty and very good. Our friends share an order of Tacos and they enjoyed them. I would recommend The Cantina.

    SHORT ANSWER: YES, Maybe not a tourist spot but for sure an excellent locals spot to hang out,…read morecheck hours and matches being played if you're into polo. LOCATION: kind of hidden away, but once you know it, you will come back. It's been a bit confusing over the last few years but now they are in a really good place I think. FACILITY: very very casual, clothing is required however.. but pretty much wear what makes you happy cuz no one cares if you're wearing Prada or Dickies. MENU: Limited, all very good. FOOD PREP: as you would expect, very nice and an upgrade from years past with help from a few friends from the neighbors... lots of transition happening with ownerships, turf wars, and Coachella festival. FOOD QUALITY: very good... LIBATIONS: very good but a bit on the $$$ side. I had just returned home and was airport tired so it was all worth it and I got my medication. WAITSTAFF: as good as it gets, fun, not stuffy or fake which is really nice. Do you hear me The Grill on Main. OVERALL VALUE: Not inexpensive for sure but well worth it, we stay 3 hours and enjoy almost dancing... TIP: pick your times, call ahead I believe they still take reservations.

The Shrimp Caserecce Alla Vodka was definitely the best dish we had--really flavorful and the highlight of the meal. The Hot Honey Pepperoni Pizza was also very good. For dessert, we tried the New York cheesecake, gelato, and an affogato. All three were good and a nice way to finish the meal. The service was great and everyone was friendly. The restaurant was a little warm inside, but it was extremely hot outside, so that may have been part of it. Overall, Kiki's was good. We enjoyed the meal and the service, and there were definitely a couple of standout dishes, especially the Shrimp Caserecce Alla Vodka.

    Kiki's La Quinta -- 3.5/5…read more Finally made it over to Kiki's in La Quinta and had a pretty solid experience overall. The restaurant itself has a lot going for it. The decor feels thoughtfully designed, there's clearly been a lot of effort put into the space, and the overall vibe is welcoming and fun. We started with the beef carpaccio, which unfortunately was my least favorite dish of the night. It came across more like thinly sliced roast beef with capers and a salad piled on top rather than a traditional carpaccio. The flavors and presentation just didn't really work for me. 2.7/10 The Sugar Snap Pea pizza was much better. Really nice flavors overall. I thought the mushrooms could have been cut a little smaller so they worked better with the rest of the toppings. The dough was good, although personally I would have liked to see a higher hydration and a lighter, more open crumb. Still, a very enjoyable pizza. 7.3/10 The beef short rib was a pleasant surprise. Very generous portion, extremely tender meat, and the sides were all cooked well. Nothing overly complicated, just a solid and satisfying dish. 7.8/10 The highlight for me was definitely the tiramisu. Excellent flavor and texture, and probably the dish I enjoyed the most. 8.8/10 Service was generally good and welcoming, although there were a couple of small details that stood out. Most notably, the menus were visibly dirty and could definitely use a good cleaning or replacement. It sounds minor, but menus are one of the first things you interact with when you sit down, so cleanliness there matters. 7.5/10 Overall, I think Kiki's has a lot of potential. The space is great, there are some genuinely good dishes, and the tiramisu is worth saving room for. A few things could definitely be refined, but I'd be interested in coming back and trying more of the menu.

We also ordered a drink that was supposed to include egg white, but it was served without it. After having issues with four dishes and a drink during the same visit, we felt that something was clearly off with the kitchen and bar that evening. We asked the owner, who was sitting next to us at the bar, whether the chef had changed because it seemed like the restaurant was simply having an off night. What happened next was even more disappointing. At first, the owner pretended that he wasn't the owner and said that he knew nothing about the restaurant. After overhearing our continued discussion about the quality of the food and drinks, he confronted us and said, "We don't need patrons like you at our restaurant. There are plenty of other restaurants for you to eat at. Why don't you just leave?" We were not being disrespectful or unreasonable--we were simply disappointed with the food and drinks and trying to understand what had happened. Being spoken to that way by the owner was insulting, completely uncalled for, and genuinely hurtful. I do want to make one thing very clear: the staff and bartenders who work at Cork & Fork were wonderful. They felt terrible about what happened and made it clear that they believed the owner's behavior toward us was completely inappropriate. After we left, several staff members actually followed us outside to apologize on behalf of the owner for the way he had spoken to us. Their kindness and concern were greatly appreciated, and this review is not a reflection of them. There are many excellent restaurants in La Quinta, and based on this experience, we will be taking our business elsewhere. We would strongly suggest considering the many other fine establishments in La Quinta before choosing Cork & Fork.
