Great food! Poor service. Can someone train servers? Do not just interrupt every conversation that's happening at your table. Just walk up, stand there for a few seconds and have someone acknowledge you, or say, after a few more seconds, "Excuse me..." iIt's so irritating to have a great story completely interrupted by someone barging in. Again, the food was amazing. but the staff was super slow (they have someone immediately come to our table to say hi but they can't take orders because these tables are the bartender's area... but then the bartender never shows up, and when he finally does and takes the orders only half come and we wait another 5-10 minutes for the other half of our drink orders to show up. Basically this is bad management: poor training and probably not having enough staff working. Again, a bummer because the FOOD WAS GREAT! read more

Disappointed that the fried chicken special sold out so damned early. I came here specifically for your special. What the heck? At 6:30?

Have eaten hear many times while visiting the area. Food is always wonderful. Service is good , atmosphere is good. I just don't know what the chef was thinking by adding shaved beef to the French onion soup ! It was not good. It didn't have the usual French onion taste. read more

Just had Happy Hour there the meatballs & mushrooms with melted cheese baked in a cast iron were on POINT ! Price point was amazing too!

The profesional hostess was friendly as well as profesional, the cauliflower appetizer great as ever The ribs were also full of meat and enjoyable as well as the prime rib sandwich. We will be.back. read more

We came for Happy Hour 3pm-5 on a Thursday. Sat on the front patio ordered drinks and food & got prompt service. California Cauliflower is our favorite appetizer, no longer on HH menu. Plentiful start, had salad and short rib nachos from HH menu very filling and delicious. I also had French Onion soup that was tasty, but seemed it had been made earlier & reheated not freshly made. Cheese & bread topping hard & cold. Was still satisfying & my Vodka martini made up for the soup. Do recommend, staff was pleasant & attentive. Nice view & hostess raised shade when sunset so we could enjoy the mountain view. Relaxing outside & could hear the music from the bar easily out front. Thank you for the evening & box to go! Made 2 salad wraps with leftover chicken salad when we got home. Was satisfying time @ The Grill on Main read more

One of the BEST prime rib I've ever had. Super moist and tender, with tons of flavor. The string beans were a bit too salty, but nothing major. Still very delicious. We had a large party of 13 people and they were super accommodating. Great service. Would highly recommend this place. read more

The Grill on Main - American Near Me - La Quinta, California

Unfortunately I wanted to like this spot especially for happy hour on a Saturday but the wait staff was sub par. We had 5 different waiters in a span of 2hrs. The food wasn't great. Best thing was Cobb salad. And the worst part the last waitress wanted to charge us for hot water w lemon. When I appealed this to b taken off the bill ($5.50 each) she refused to do so. I was not leaving w/o this being rectified. We had to get the hostess/mgr to have another bartender edit this off. Unacceptable especially given how empty this restaurant was in old town La Quinta on a Sat nite. With so many options definitely go somewhere else! read more

I arrived one minute before everyone else, which was a surprise. We went to a show before. Imagine my surprise when they were not there. I stood at the front desk, nobody was there. When the host came I pointed to the screen at our name, and was quickly given a stern reprimand for looking at the screen. The reprimand went on a bit too long and I was told to clear that area. Uh, it was the reception area, but maybe I missed the stand clear signs? It was such an aggressive bit of time that I was ready to simply go elsewhere, yet everyone arrived. I said nothing about the greeting I got. Yet, two in our group commented how she felt hostile. So, for a welcoming vibe, I'll give a zero. It's been two weeks and I still feel rattled thinking about it. NOW, the server was super nice. He was in no hurry, giving us time to look at the menu and ask questions. Once we had our choices, whoa! Appetizers were at the table so fast my head spun. And, the Brie was crazy excellent! I've never seen it served like this, and it was a hit. The meatballs went fast, and even the tater tots were a table favorite. We finished our appetizers and had a few minutes to chat, and our dinner arrived. The timing at this place was amazing. I asked our server which he would do, swordfish or salmon. He thought the salmon would be great for me - and he was spot on right! Everyone at the table loved their food, huge hit! I'd go back for the food and server, but I don't think I want to deal with the host ever again. She was just too rough and angry. However, if you can pass her by, I'd say this place is a hit worth going out of your way to enjoy. For me, the host made it a one time thing. Sorry, I didn't do my usual food pic. The vibe had me off. The Brie was certainly picture worthy. And, yes, if you go, try the salmon. read more

Lovely outdoor seating. Friendly, but amateur, mostly absent waitstaff. Over-priced. I ordered chicken piccata. it was slices of chicken breast in a pool of bland white sauce with no flavor at all - definitely not piccata. Disappointing. read more

Separate checks for diners. Order alcohol at the table instead of forcing diners to be in the bar. Spilled soup absorbed by the paper napkin should never happen. I could go on, much like you when you walk on by. read more

First time in Old La Quinta and the restaurant was so good. I gave it four stars only because the hostess who greeted us was not very friendly. The waitress that assisted us was very nice & the food was good. The whole area is very nice. read more

So disappointed with the restaurant tonight. My food was overcooked but they offered no substitute or replacement.

We waited and waited for a server. We are very patient. Grew up in a restaurant , we understand the difficulties of food service. We left unserved. Maybe a tough night for them? Found a great restaurant on second floor. Worked out. read more

Someone needs to promote Michael the bar back to bartender. He was awesome. While our Mr bartender was grumpy and almost felt like he was throwing drinks and food at us. Food was amazing but service accounts for so much more. There's a reason why we haven't been here in a couple years and now we'll have to think twice depending on who our server is on whether we come back again read more

Best fish and chips I've ever had! I will definitely be back. I highly recommend this restaurant and BTW service was great.

Overall a disappointing experience. The food overall was average at best, but the chicken piccata entree was a piece of overcooked rubber. When I sent it back the kitchen responded with "that's how it is prepared and you will get the same thing if we replace it." If that is what this restaurant thinks is how chicken piccata is prepared they need a new chef. Besides the food, everything comes across as a tourist trap. read more

Great food, accommodating staff, family friendly, extensive menu, great patio. Food is consistently good whether it's pasta, seafood, steak, fried chicken. Recommended for any visit to La Quinta. read more

Super yummy food. First time I came here was years ago but I guess I didn't leave a review. The only recommendation I would leave is to have a bit less asparagus in the carbonara, I felt overwhelmed by it (but some might light that). Glad I came back! read more

Pricey. I'll assume it's the monster lease payment. A little meat on the French Dip would have been nice. I'm sure tourists will like it - trendy. read more

I was looking for a good place to eat dinner (I was craving steak!) with my coworker while we're around the area for a business trip and I found this place. It's located in Old Town La Quinta, inside has nice ambience and looks classy. My coworker ordered the truffle tater tots and we enjoyed munching on them before our main dish. It was topped with some cheese and had a hint of truffle flavor. I had the prime rib and it was really juicy and flavorful. I ordered it medium rare, I thought it would be a bit chewy but they cooked it to a perfect tenderness. We could tell that the restauraunt was understaffed and overwhelmed which isn't their fault. They were very accommodating to us during our dining experience. read more

The prime rib was very good! The fish and chips were exceptional! The meat loaf was dry like it was from last week, frozen and reheated... horrible. I had to send it back Overall the service was very good and friendly I would come back but I would skip the meatloaf and order the fish and chips! read more

We ALWAYS make a point go to The Grill when visiting LQ! It's popular amongst the locals too! Exec Chef Brett's amazing culinary skills never disappoint! We had and amazing experience at dinner recently as our server Fernando went above and beyond to make sure our family was taken care of. read more

Kudos to Rebecca and Autumn. You guys were slammed. You were working like bartender automotons! wow, really impressed. Food good, service great, even with that crowd. The Grill had some winners! read more

We used to live in LaQuinta and frequently dined here. Their food is phenomenal along with the service. Their Fish and Chips (my personal favorite) is beyond wonderful. We moved to Desert Hot Springs so we stopped going but now we're back in Indian Wells. Unfortunately, my husband is now handicapped and can't go out. I would still like to get it delivered but they don't use Door Dash or any of the services. read more

The most expensive coffee on earth! We were charged 12 dollars for two single shot espresso When we asked the waitress and the bartender to see a menu showing the price of coffee, we were given the lunch menu where coffee was not listed. Then the waitress said:" oh, the price varies depending on the quality of coffee we use, today we used Lavazza from Italy, that's why it's pricey". At that point it was clear that we were being ripped off, we took a picture of the bill, paid and left. Is it even legal not to disclose/display prices of items sold, especially when customers clearly ask to see them? read more

Been here several times and the food and service has always been very good. However, had a weird experience yesterday during lunch on the patio. First, we had a strange interaction with the hostess, who seemed like she did not want to seat us. Not sure what that was about, but we all felt a weird vibe from her. I then later noticed a bug or something that looked like a bug floating in my beer. I called over and pointed it out to our waitress. She looked at it and said, "I will get you a fresh glass" . No apologies and did not seem very concerned. My "new" beer came with the same bug floating in it. I again pointed it out to her and said, did you just pour my buggy beer into a new glass? Again, no apologies or concern, she just said, let me get you a new beer. We could not believe it, specially when the bill came with the charge for the buggy beer still there. BTW - the food was great! read more

Omg great lil place. We sat at the bar and our bartender was fantastic. She had only been there for 3 days and what a professional, classy and efficient server and good personality. The drinks were superb and the tuna melt and turkey burger fantastic. The art show was going on so we had some music good peeps and lots love. Highly recommended a must try when in the area. read more

Our favorite restaurant...THE GRILL...is one we visit a few times each month. The prices are very reasonable, and the food is consistently exceptional. The service is always top-notch. There are plenty of seating options, including a lovely outdoor patio with misters, a covered patio near the square with more misters, and a cozy indoor dining room. We also enjoy sitting at the large bar with big-screen TVs and great beverages that come with generous pours. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Brett, who is always on-site to ensure the quality stays high. He's a great guy, and you might want to say hello next time you visit. It's rare to find a restaurant that offers such consistently excellent food at a reasonable price, and its location in Old Town, right on the square, is unbeatable. Now you can see why it's our favorite spot! read more
