- CCarolyn IzuVIPPalm Springs / Palm Desert Cities •65 reviews5.0Dined on Feb 15, 2025We had only had breakfast and lunch here before but heard it was really great for dinner. We had the halibut special and the Sandabs - both delicious - my husband really loved the halibut! The live music was also very nice. We sat inside because it was windy/cold on the patio - so the ambience wasn’t a five star like I would’ve given the patio. And the carrot cake is probably the best we’ve ever had.More infoThe Fix On El PaseoPrice: Expensive• Bistro• Palm Desert•4.4
