    Avocado Toast
    Kyle F.

    Twenty6 at La Quinta Resort is really two completely different restaurants wearing the same clothes. Friday morning, it was excellent. The kind of breakfast that reminds you why resort dining can still matter when somebody in the kitchen actually gives a damn. Sylvia ordered the avocado toast, and honestly, it may have been the most beautifully plated version I've ever seen. Colorful. Fresh. Layered with intention instead of just stacked for Instagram. Every component tasted like somebody had thought carefully about texture and balance rather than simply following a spec sheet from corporate. It was the rare dish that actually arrived looking better than the menu photo probably promised. My eggs Benedict were equally impressive. Perfectly poached eggs surrendering exactly the way they should. A hollandaise that was clearly made in-house, carrying subtle layers of flavor beyond the usual blunt-force butter and lemon assault most places settle for. Crispy hash browns done correctly, crunchy outside, soft inside, which sounds simple until you realize how few restaurants actually pull it off. If I lived nearby, I'd eat breakfast here regularly. That's not to say the experience was flawless. The patio still suffered from some of the same strange neglect seen elsewhere around the property. Giant bulbous plastic umbrella bases better suited for a discount pool supply warehouse. Broken partitions awkwardly jury-rigged back together. Tabletops and surfaces that could have used a proper scrubbing instead of whatever quick wipe-down they'd received. But when the food is that good, you forgive things. Or at least you want to. Then came Sunday brunch. And suddenly Twenty6 transformed from thoughtful resort dining into what felt like a desperate airport convention buffet after a delayed flight to Omaha. I've eaten in some deeply mediocre hotels before. I've suffered through casino breakfast buffets, conference center scrambled eggs, roadside motel continental breakfasts, and one particularly terrifying off-brand buffet somewhere in mainland China where I genuinely couldn't identify half the food in the steam trays. This was worse. And somehow, it cost $45 dollars a person. Now look, I understand the logistical challenge. Feeding hundreds of resort guests simultaneously is hard. Nobody expects a fully customized farm-to-table breakfast experience for every tourist dragging their kids through the dining room in flip flops and sunscreen. Volume changes the game. But stale sourdough bread that was physically difficult to bite through? Powdered scrambled eggs with the texture of damp insulation foam? Generic miniature muffins that looked like they'd been purchased frozen by the pallet from a food service warehouse? And sausage patties, allegedly turkey or chicken with the texture and personality of hockey pucks left overnight in a parking lot? That's not volume cooking. That's surrender. And then there was the fruit. Even the blackberries had mold growing on them. That's the moment the whole thing crosses from disappointing into offensive. Sylvia literally couldn't find anything she wanted to eat. I managed maybe half a plate before giving up entirely. Yes, there was an omelette station. But the line snaked deep enough into the dining room that it appeared you'd need to sacrifice twenty minutes of your vacation just to get someone to crack an egg. And funny enough, when the food is terrible, all those little aesthetic flaws you overlooked two days earlier suddenly become impossible to ignore. The dirty surfaces. The neglected patio details. The tired infrastructure barely being held together behind the curtain of "luxury resort" branding. To be fair, the staff hustled. The hostess, in particular, handled a relentless barrage of impatient, unhappy guests with professionalism and composure. And the Bloody Marys were genuinely fantastic, spicy, balanced, properly built cocktails instead of watered-down tomato sludge poured from a plastic jug. But not even good cocktails could rescue this brunch. Which makes Twenty6 all the more frustrating. Because somewhere inside this restaurant is a genuinely talented breakfast kitchen capable of producing exceptional food. But somewhere between Friday morning and Sunday brunch, the entire operation collapses under the weight of scale, shortcuts, and what feels like management simply deciding "good enough" was acceptable. So here's the advice: when available, order off the menu. And avoid the brunch buffet at all costs.

    Nice atmosphere very friendly staff . Fruits was fresh and nice vibe to this place. I know that we will be back again maybe for dinner.

    Steak Frites (substituted the frites with broccolini)
    EM H.

    During E*TRADE's annual conference, Directions, held at La Quinta Resort & Club in May, 2019, I had the pleasure of staying at Old Hollywood's original desert hideaway and dining at one of the hotel's onsite restaurants, TWENTY 6, on multiple occasions. TWENTY6, named for the year the resort opened, is a modern bistro & bar that serves American fare and cocktails in a relaxed yet upscale setting. Nestled on the ground floor, in the restaurant and shops plaza across from the bougainvillea-filled main entrance and lobby, TWENTY6 is a beautiful place to enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner. The dining room's decorative stamped-metal ceiling is a nod to the art deco concept and the daily ample sunshine invites visitors to enjoy a bright and cheery meal. TWENTY6 features a "casual chic" menu offering elevated comfort food, utilizing seasonal ingredients to create their diverse and ever-evolving menu. At my last lunch here on the 17th, I ordered the scrumptious Steak Frites, substituting the fries with broccolini. The meat was perfectly cooked medium rare and the broccolini were fresh and crisp. My cousin, Michelle, had a Seared Salmon Local Spinach & Quinoa Salad, a thoughtfully crafted bowl of greens that was hearty, healthy and delicious. We were thoroughly impressed by our dishes. Service was consistently friendly, thoughtful and accommodating. I would happily return to TWENTY6 if/when I stay at La Quinta Resort & Club again.

    Pasta and Burger
    Ana M.

    Food was okay, bland and expensive, we ended up paying $17 for one mimosa, which was mostly OJ. The pasta was hard and not very tasty. Burger patty was really hard to tear into as well. The only good thing was the tater tots. The waiter wasn't the most welcoming and didn't explain drink prices. But he wasn't rude just didn't seem happy to be there.

    Half order of Huevos Rancheros. We split an order. They put each half on a separate plate. 10/10 taste and beautiful presentation.
    Nancy S.

    On our last day here we ordered the Huevos Rancheros and it was the best. We split it and they brought on separate plates. Beautiful presentation. Fresh soft tortilla. Absolutely delicious. I also ordered my favorite blueberry muffins. Other mornings here we split an Eggs Benedict and had a pastry tray. First morning pastry tray had four pastries, second day three pastries. But they were yummy. Pastry tray comes with a nice large fresh fruit bowl. I ordered a poached egg on the side one day. Poached eggs taste a bit vinegary. The coffee is just weak. In all our days there we'd not have a good cup of coffee. Lattes were weak. They need a new coffee vender besides Lavazza. Service is excellent and it is a beautiful outdoor setting.

    The breakfast here was pretty decent. But the dinner was awful . We ordered the flatbread and it tasted like I was back in my high schools cafeteria eating pepperoni pizza. The service was good but they need to work on their food quality for dinner

    Prosciutto flatbread
    Mary G.

    While saying here at the resort I want to grab some lunch so I checked out the menu online and I saw a couple things that caught my eye, so I walked over from my room and sat at the bar. I was greeted by Marvin who was my bartender/ server. He was so nice and very professional. It was nice and cool inside as well. I started off with a Pineapple Express cocktail and then ordered some buffalo cauliflower and a prosciutto flatbread, both were so delicious.

    We went there for brunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. We had a section just for us, which was really nice. The waiters were really nice as well very courteous and attentive. Our food was brought out on a timely basis and it was pretty good. We also noticed that there was a patio outside and the hotel itself is beautiful.!

    A quick visit to LQ Resort
    Rick J.

    Well this is a resort and as such, sometimes events can spoil a nice afternoon but they need to make a de money. YELP SHORT ANSWER: Yes the resort is one of the best places to visit in the valley. Lots to do. Location: kind of perfect, this has been here for many decades so they have it down. Parking can be difficult at peak season or holiday. Menu at 26: it is fine but prices make it seem extra special. Kind of standard California cuisine. Food Prep: on this visit to 26, not great guessing due to a large conference taking over and closing Adobe which was our original destination. Food Quality: fell well short of resort prices, flatbread was not good and kind of soggy. Waitstaff: seemed out of it on this day. Maybe since all the pressure was on 26, people seemed burnt out and not super friendly. Overall Value: on this visit 26 was overpriced for a meal which was not great, I am sure not acceptable per management but bad days happen. Will review again. TIP: if you are paying the bill, pick an off time and enjoy this resort property and learn about its history online, it is very cool. 26 is just one restaurant at the resort, all our other visits have been great 4 or 5 star.

    GARLIC TATER - TOTS
    Jannah C.

    This is a very busy restaurant during the day. It's the main location for lunch and it can be easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle. The decor is your typical American restaurant, with a good amount of both indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the wings, which are not on the menu, but my server allowed me to order them with the buffalo cauliflower sauce on the side. The wings were crispy and a natural size. The tater tots were great. I would highly suggest these, forget the carb counting. :) The only thing that knocked this place down to a 4 was the pet situation. Dogs are welcome on the patio as it is a pet friendly hotel and as a person that is highly allergic to dogs, it makes for an uncomfortable experience. I also noticed that servers will greet the animals and either provide them a dog bowl or retrieve their dog bowl and not immediately go to sanitize their hands. I saw servers bus tables in between interactions and honestly the fact that people that handle my food at any portion of their shift interact with animals just doesn't sit will with me. However, I understand that I live in a world where I'll be forced to dine with animals whether I like to or not. :) Nice spot. I dined twice during my week's stay.

    DRINKS AND APPETIZER ONLY!…read more We were visiting family down the street, so we popped in for a drink. The look and the feel of the Grapefruit Basil restaurant did not feel like other Tommy Bhammas. It did not have that vibe. Plus, the drink menu is not the same as Tommy Bahammas as well- while reviewing the menu I noticed a couple of similar drinks such as the grapefruit basil, so I decided to order a familiar drink. Unfortunately, this drink was not as good as the one that I had the night before-- I could not taste the alcohol, it just tasked like grapefruit- I was sad, as this is like my go to drink. To compliment out drinks, we had the salsa guac appetizer that we are very familiar with from the Tommy Bhamma restaurant. The appetizer was good, and like I remember from their restaurants. So how was the atmosphere-- we just popped down at the bar. The bar felt like we were at a hospital. Very white and blah. If it was a cooler night, the outdoor space might have been nicer. They do have a bar and seating outside. As it was still in the 100s, we did not have that option. The bar was a bit distasteful with off conversations- we don't mind a party vibe, but the vibe was not that kind of environment. Lastly, this restaurant/bar does not use the tommy Bahamas membership program so you cannot accumulate points or use your credits. Would we come again- well, Tommy Bahammas it's not too far away, I think we would head there instead or another bar.

I will say and this is not a negative at all, but the mashed potatoes and gravy instantly reminded me of KFC, when you get those in the styrofoam containers with lids... that is what they tasted like, and that is not a bad thing. The only complaint would be is that our appetizers came out fast, but as we started to enjoy them, just a few minutes later the entrees came out. There was almost no place to put them, as we were still enjoying our apps. The server should have not fired the entrees so soon, or maybe he just put the entire order in at once? We will be returning as the food is good and the place is very nice. We will make a point of letting them know next time, so this doesn't happen again, but otherwise the night dining was perfect.

    We had a reservation here last Tuesday to try their "Restaurant Week" menu…read more We pulled into the parking lot a few minutes before reservation and there were only two cars in the parking lot so we drove around the back thinking that's where we're supposed to park but no cars there either and we were a bit confused. When we pulled back around to the front, there were some yellow pylons near the front of the entrance and some garbage on one of the outdoor tables and it looked very dark inside as if the lights were off, we figured they had to have been closed so we drove off to have dinner elsewhere. A bit later, we get a notice from OpenTable that we did not check in so I called the restaurant the following day to ask them what happened, the nice young lady that answered the phone told us that they were open at the time of our reservation. If they were indeed open, what a turn off to have only two cars in the parking lot, pylons in front and trash stacked on the outdoor table, I can't imagine what the inside would look like or the kitchen.

    Attn. vegans and anyone who has dietary restrictions: AVOID THIS PLACE!…read more Even if you ask for a vegan version of a menu item, they'll give you the non-vegan version. And they'll make that mistake with both your appetizer and entree. If you're lucky and they don't mess up your order, it will be void of flavor. Just go anywhere else. You'll probably get better food and a better experience.
