I walked over to the Chef's Secret Window which is on the backside of Pinzimini, and it literally just a window through which you order and receive your food. The breakfast burrito was larger than expected for $11, and it was served hot and fresh. There are tables right outside the window for you to sit, with views of the lazy river and geese. I enjoyed it and think you will too.

Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Chef's Secret Window is located next to the resort's flagship restaurant Pinzimini. You walk up to the window (you can ring the bell for service if no one is present), order, and your food is ready in 5-10 minutes. The 12" pepperoni pizza, with its piping-hot crunchy crust and crisp pepperonis, hit the spot! The (unpressed) Cubano came on focaccia, and both it and the very simple grilled cheese sandwich came with house made chips.

They were using 2 small portable pizza ovens - I was initially concerned about the cook quality and hesitated - happy I did not. These guys understand dough - I did not ask, but assume they ferment the dough for at least 48-72 hours. Each piece of dough was individually wrapped and stretched. The sauce was clean (probably San Marzano) and the pizza was a true joy. Cheers!

Ordered the New York style hot pastrami on rye with coleslaw and a Dr. Brown's Cream Soda. The pastrami was the highlight. Piled high, tender, and full of that classic deli flavor with just the right amount of richness. The rye bread held everything together well and had a nice bite to it. It's the kind of sandwich you have to take a second to look at before figuring out how to eat it. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp, a good balance to the sandwich, and the cream soda was cold and refreshing. Also ordered a slice of pistachio cake to go. Absolutely delicious. The place has that old school deli feel, busy but in a good way, and full of character. Service was friendly and efficient even with the crowd. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're in Palm Desert and want a proper deli sandwich.

Service was excellent. Seated immediately and ordering minutes later. Got extra cream cheese on request and our coffees were diligently refilled. The main attraction was the pastrami sandwich. Totally to my wife's taste, extremely lean and stacked high. She had to take half home. I tried an omelette with corned beef and loved it. The everything bagel was perfectly acceptable, not too "bready." So: service good, pastrami good, and bagel good. Everything good about a deli is covered.

I have been wanting to come here for years, based on the great Eater 38 and Yelp reviews, and…read morefinally had the chance. We came with a group of 10 of us, so got to taste a lot of dishes. For appetizers, our favorites were the crispy ginger green beans (so flavorful and tasty!), the hand-rolled crispy egg rolls (yum!); and the crunchy tiger shrimp spring rolls (freshy and tasty; liked these better than the poached shrimp spring rolls or mango spring rolls). For entrees, our top favorites were the (1) chicken protein bowl w/ fresh seasonal vegetables in a delicious sauce w/ a touch of chili oil and tamari soy sauce; (2) the sweet tamari glazed salmon w/ wok fried rice noodles nad peanut tamarind sauce; and (3) the pad thai trio (w/ pork, chicken & shrimp). The tiger shrimp vermicelli w/ shrimp wontons (like a crispy egg roll), was good, but not the best I've had; noodles were thicker than usual. The spicy red curry ramen w/ pork belly had a very flavorful sauce, but the coconut broth made it quite heavy. The Vietnamese crepe w/ pork & shrimp was good, but had too many bean sprouts. The Fried Chicken was good, and very generous portion, but had a lot of breading and bones. Next time would like to try the pho. They also have a happy hour, currently 5-6 pm at the bar and outdoors w/ cocktail, wine, beer and appetizer specials. Friendly service and nice ambiance. Would definitely return!

Delightful menu surprises ensued and this time I was taken to a new culinary level with the Chili Osso Buca bowl. How could I ever have the traditional Osso Buca again having tried this transformative vision! We also were introduced to the lobster popcorn (I leave the description to your imagination...because the preparation will surprise you with culinary delight!). Fellow guests had their usual preferred bowls, a vegetarian pad Thai that was worth singing about and some wonderful grilled pork and veggies. Trying to plan our next visit to this gem in the desert. Hopefully it is soon. The service, as always is the very best, whether you are a regular or first time visitor, chairs are comfortable and indoor and outdoor seating satisfies every happy customer. Creative drink menu and desserts. C

Back in November we ended up going to Sherman's 2 times, and we did it again last week. It was so nice, we went twice! The food is as good as it gets for NY Deli cuisine this far west. I opted for the 3 meat sandwich, I almost had to unhinge my jaw in order to take a proper bite. The sandwich was piled high with pastrami, corned beef and BBQ brisket. The rye bread was soft and delicious and absorbed the mustard and meat juices quite well. The matzoh ball soup was nostalgic, healing, and delicious all at the same time. We'll be back Sherman's -- believe it!

It was a weird mixture of chicken, tuna, cottage cheese, fruits, lettuce. The flavoring was odd and not complimentary to each other. - #6 Hot Pastrami with Chopped Liver Sandwich: If you have never tried chopped liver before, I don't think this should be your first time experimenting. There are many other good options to pick from! If you end up disliking the chopped liver, I'd hate for that to ruin your experience at Sherman's. The second time I ordered: - NY Style Hot Pastrami Sandwich: This was the best thing I tried on the menu. The pastrami was absolutely perfect! I highly recommend this sandwich! - Lite Lunch Special: Not all sandwiches are available for the half portion, so I would suggest clarifying with your waiter. I ordered 1/2 Brisket of Beef (BBQ sauce on the side) and 1/2 Garden Salad. Both were just fine. Unfortunately I was way too full to try any of the dessert. They were beautifully displayed though!
