Best Contemporary European Restaurants in Cathedral City

My wife and I went for dinner and our experience was very pleasant. We knew they were busy from thanksgiving dinner and that the service was going to be slow, but we were fine with that and understandable. The server comp our drinks even thou she didnt have to. The food was very tasty and the portions were just perfect. Overall our experience was very pleasant and we look forward to returning again for dinner

I recently had dinner at Willie’s with a group of six, and it was a delightful experience. We enjoyed a well-prepared four-course meal that didn’t disappoint. The food was flavorful and nicely presented, while the service was exceptional—our waiter was attentive and made sure everything went smoothly. The drinks could’ve been a touch stronger, but they were still enjoyable and complemented the meal well. Overall, Willie’s is a fantastic spot to gather with friends and family for a memorable evening. One note: If you plan to dine here, make an effort to dress appropriately—at the very least, in Palm Springs-style attire. I’m all for staying casual and comfortable, but come on, a little effort goes a long way in elevating the ambiance for everyone! Willie’s gets my recommendation, and I look forward to returning!

Lovely dinner - food was good, cocktails nice and service excellent as usual

Our evening at Mimmo’s was fantastic. It was a reunion/celebration, and our waitress could not have been nicer. When we sat down, she took our drink orders. After we were settled, she told us the list of specials( which there were many) and left us to visit. She would occasionally check on us. At one point she asked if we would like appetizers or something else, and we opted for bruschetta and shrimp cocktails (which were one of the specials). We were served and again, left to visit and enjoy our evening. After a while, she returned and asked if we would like something for dinner. We all had some variety of pasta and it was delicious. Finally, after a delicious dinner , dessert was offered. I had “homemade limoncello!” Fantastic! We will definitely return to Mimmo’s. Our waitress (and unfortunately I don’t remember her name) was the best. Very accommodating and was available and helpful. She definitely added to our dining experience.

It appears to be an older restaurant with the bathrooms standing out. You are asked to throw your toilet paper in the trash. Not a fan of doing that. The inside is charming, though we are outside as it was a lovely day. I thought I didn’t like Brussels sprouts and the ones I had with my tasty duck have forever changed my mind. If you’ve had macarons in Paris, skip those; our apple tart was flaky and not too sweet. We’re glad we went, but not enough to return.
