Our entire bill for a meals for a party 4 with a bottle of wine and other cocktails came to $210 total. The portions were pretty small so it's easy to be part of the clean plate club.

The place was relatively quiet with several people enjoying themselves at the bar. We opted to sit in the comfy lounge chairs overlooking the breathtaking scenery of mountains and blue skies. We had eaten dinner earlier in the casino and since I had a sweet craving, I ordered an Espresso Martini. It definitely satisfied my craving. It was a TREAT! The bartender informed us that live music is showcased on Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays. We decided to return to Thursday Night Rock Show featuring HWY 111. We actually met vocalist Niki Bente in the elevator on our way to Twelve! She was very friendly and personable. Niki Bente also preforms with Twisted Gypsy whom we had the pleasure of seeing at the Rock Yard on Saturday night. Rocking Show!!! HWY 111 was very entertaining as I danced the night away! The place was lively, filled with people having a great time. It proved to be a wonderful experience! I thoroughly enjoyed two different specialty cocktails from the menu. The bartenders are attentive and offer a choice of complimentary almonds with or without salt. Whether you're looking for a quieter place to enjoy a cocktail or two and take in the beautiful views or you prefer to Rock Out with live music, Twelve is the place to choose! I will definitely return to Twelve when I visit California in the future!

This place was excellent. Best food ever!…read more The whole place was cool. You're first greeted by a complementary valet parking. The whole place has an old school, Spanish hacienda vibe. Definitely make reservations. It was busy when we got there. They first sat us inside, but the acoustics are terrible; it was so loud and echoey in there we could barely have a conversation, luckily the host was able to sit us on the back patio. It was beautiful there and they had a lively guitar soloist who was very versatile in all genres of music. Our waiter could've been a little more attentive. We got waters and drinks, but I thought he'd ask if we wanted any appetizers, but he ran off as soon as we got the drinks and we probably sat for 20 minutes. I had an Arnold Palmer to drink maybe to be cliche but it really hit and paired well with my meal. I thought they might have some complementary bread or something, but no. Our server finally came back to take our order. I thought they might have some specials, but he didn't mention any and I was impatient at that point. I don't always leave 5 stars, but the food made up for what the service lacked. It was really worth the wait once we got our food. We started with the potstickers. They were prepared excellently. They weren't soggy at all as they can sometimes be and the dipping sauce was simple yet phenomenal. The calamari was great. It was crispy and had crunchy breading. The best thing were the onion rings. They were THE best I've ever had. They were just the right amount of crispy, they weren't greasy and their flavor was amazing with the perfect amount of salt and seasoning. We even tried the BBQ shrimp. That was just ok, I don't know about the sauce or the piece of bread it comes with. Our entrees were excellent too. I had the halibut with pepper jack risotto. That was amazing. You don't find halibut at a lot of places and it was so flakey and not dry whatsoever. The risotto was excellent too. You hardly ever see pepper jack flavor either; It did not disappoint! The spaghetti was amazing too. My partner ordered that. Their homemade noodles and sausage are next level. A couple other entrees at our table included the filet mignon and the New York steak. They were both excellent. I'd say the New York steak was the better of those two options. It was cooked to perfection. Our server didn't bring our food out, but the guy who brought our food knew which person ordered which entree without asking which was cool. We didn't stop there. They we had dessert. I tried the peanut butter gelato. It was rich and decadent. My partner had their house butter cake a la mode, which was so tasty. It was moist and not overly sweet. The banana split was huge too! The valet gives you tickets to pick up your car. We were one of the last patrons of the night and Seth from the valet recognized us and already had my car ready before I had my ticket out. He saw me in the lobby area about to exit. I highly recommend going here. Make a reservation for outdoors (when the weather permits) and you'll probably get a great server. Ours was just a bit busy last night! You'll be in for a treat that can't be beat!

This isn't taught or learned. It's in her DNA making the future and our beautiful valley a better place. On top of that the owner/chef had personally taken a lot of time (after hours) to address some odd service we had at a diff location (which also exemplifies outstanding culinary design). If you haven't tried BP you should. For reasons above the million star cuisine. I've eaten all over the world and the crab cakes just took it to a different level. The huevos at Chula were my first favorite. Thank you for doing what you do Katherine. I hope to nominate you someday for a huge award so you don't have to stress/manage your restaurants alone to focus on what you love.

They had some fairly steady stream of customers, some were regulars and some were first-timers like me. Next time I will try one of the salads which I saw and it looked amazing. I have a feeling they will need to be expanding if the word gets out on how wonderful everything is. I added it to my list of stops whenever I am at my vacation place in Indian Wells.
