We went to Eddie V's in Palm Desert last night for my brother/sister in laws 33rd Wedding…read moreAnniversary and we had an incredible experience from start to finish! From the moment we walked through the door, the hostess greeted us warmly and made us feel welcome. We then met Aaron, the manager, who personally seated us and went out of his way to make sure we felt comfortable and taken care of. Our waiter, Eddie, was fantastic. He was attentive, professional, and truly paid attention to every detail throughout the evening. We started with a Caesar salad, BLT salad, tuna tartare, shrimp cocktails, and oysters. Everything was absolutely superb and beautifully prepared. For dinner, we enjoyed the king salmon, Parmesan-crusted sole, and a 32-ounce ribeye steak. Every dish was cooked to perfection and exceeded our expectations. And then came dessert! We enjoyed a combination of ice cream, chocolate lava cake, and banana flambé cake. Everything was next-level delicious. We left Eddie V's completely satisfied and already looking forward to coming back. This was our first visit, but it definitely won't be our last! If you're in Palm Desert or the Palm Springs area and looking for an exceptional dining experience, I highly recommend Eddie V's. The food, service, and hospitality were all outstanding. Lets not forget the truffle macaroni and cheese. That was sublime. As I'm writing this review, I want another order of truffle, macaroni and cheese.

We are so sad our mother has passed and hoped her spirit would be with us. Our server, Jaime D, was exceptional upon hearing our story. He first presented us with Champaign and complimentary sushi. We ordered the seafood tower , steak tataki, lobster roll, wagu bau, and pot stickers. The seafood tower and steak are my two favorites. The lobster roll is seasonal but not my favorite. We ordered one dessert and Jaime brought us three! Two flaming desserts and four sorbets! I cannot say enough about our server and Eddie V's making our night extremely special. I today's times it was remarkable for getting complimentary Champaign, sushi, and desserts and best of all kindness for our sorrow.

I'd venture to say we're fortunate to have one here. I think I'd been here once or twice before, but it's been a decade since my last visit. They offer plenty of food and discounted drinks for happy hour 3-6 PM Monday-Thursday. We came at 3 and were given the happy hour, lunch, dinner, prix fixe, and restaurant week menus. Talk about extensive choices. We ordered the Smoky Apple Orchard, Spicy Flamed Margarita, and Prickly Pear Paloma cocktails. All were $5 off during happy hour, but I'd only order the Spicy Flamed Margarita again. It had a seasoned rim, delicious tequila, and came with a flaming lime, which was very unique. The Smoky Apple Orchard cocktail didn't have much smokiness other than subtle hints of Mezcal and I could not taste the cinnamon stick, which was also disappointing. The Prickly Pear Paloma sounded promising, but the Grapefruit dominated the drink instead of the tuna leading the way. I had the Crab Cake Sliders ($20), Ahi Tuna Poke Stack ($10), and Shaved Prime Steak Sliders ($15). The Crab Cake Sliders were perfectly molded and pan-fried. Initially, I thought they were deep-fried, but fortunately they weren't. The sliders were accompanied with a massive amount of Roasted Garlic Parmesan Fries. They were extremely delicious! The experience took an ill-advised turn downhill when I bit into the Ahi Tuna Poke Stack. The presentation was excellent, but the tuna was the plainest and driest I've ever eaten in my life. It was supposed to come with Ponzu, which it did not, and that was the shortcoming. The Shaved Prime Steak Sliders were a huge value, but holy hell did they dominate them with an overcast of onions. Anyway, the hostess was nice and Danica kicked ass with our requests. She and the staff ensured drinks (water & cocktails) were full throughout the visit. I will definitely return with reinforcements.

They made our celebration feel special from the moment we sat down.

Everything we ordered was delicious. We started with the Goat Cheese & Artichoke Dip, followed by steak and lobster with mashed potatoes, and finished with cheesecake and fresh berries. The steak was cooked perfectly, the lobster was delicious, and we definitely left very full! The atmosphere was beautiful and made it feel like a true special-occasion dinner. Celebrating my birthday and 10 years of marriage made the night meaningful already, and Ruth's Chris was the perfect place for it.

Just take time can choose the right driveway... FACILITY: Grand, classy, and perfect.... buildout is similar to other Ruth Chris locations I have visited. MENU: Well if it is on here, I will be good. This is not urban food, it is a refined menu perfected over the decades. FOOD PREP: Very good, not super fancy but the way they do it, and yes, the plates are very very hot. FOOD QUALITY: Ordered a Prime Cowboy steak, MR seared with a little butter on top.. it was excellent.. huge. My wife and I shared and thankfully they were down with sharing knowing their portion as gigantic. We maybe ate 1/2 of it and took home leftovers. LIBATIONS: Great drinks, some fancy some straight up simple. Nothing is inexpensive but very good. WAITSTAFF: So Professional, helpful... amazing THANK YOU Melanie OVERALL VALUE: For the experience, a great value... No, it is not In-N-Out affordable but it was maybe $200 including tip.

Apparently, the restaurant is owned by two cousins, their wives, and they pour their hearts into every dish. Upon arrival, the restaurant was bustling with locals in a causal setting, indicating that the food is truly exceptional. We had a 10-minute wait, but it flew by as we eagerly perused the menu. Our server, one of the owners' daughters, was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was simply delicious. The portions were generous, and the flavors were bursting with authentic Mexican taste. There's ample parking available in the lot in front of the restaurant, making it convenient for customers. If I find myself craving Mexican food again during my next visit to Palm Springs, Los Primos will definitely be my go-to spot.

The cookie was melt in your mouth soft and buttery and the dulce de leche was perfect. I would DEFINITELY come back anytime we're in the area.

I didn't want to make a scene, but this place now seems less friendly and poorly managed compared to the great place it once was. I've enjoyed many good meals here, but the last few times, the food quality is lower, portions smaller, and the service less friendly. What happened??? They lost a loyal customer and sadly don't seem to care. Their passion (and their crowds) are gone...Avoid.

We also tried a sushi tuna roll, which was another great addition to the table. The drinks were fantastic, and everything came out tasting fresh and well prepared. To top it all off, they brought out a nice little lemon cake for my birthday, which was a really nice touch. Overall, even though it was crowded and loud, we had a great experience.
