Best Seasonal Restaurants in Rancho Mirage

At first we were seated in the back right next to bathroom. The hostess said it was the quietest table, which is what I had requested. It was definitely NOT. After bread and wine, we moved to another table, still in the path to the bathroom, but not as close/same server, who was lovely. All food was delicious! I did, however, write in the reservation that we were celebrating my mother's birthday, but nothing! ;(

We celebrated my husbands birthday he enjoyed everything. The service was five star. The food excellent couldn’t have had a better experience

Wallys Desert Trutle is such a unique and wonderful experience that it has been our favorite destination for years! The atmosphere is magical. The food is beyond delicious (the Dover Sole literally melts in your mouth). Please leave room for their wonderful souffles!The service is tlop notch without being intrusive (great job Frank & team!) The restaurant has been loving care of the Botelo family for three generations and is now in the excellent hands of Madelyn. Walls Desert Turtle must be on your bucket list! Susan & Lynn Phillips

Looking for a high grade happy hour?? Try Eddie V's! Word of mouth lead us here for the first time, and since they filled up on a Tuesday night, it was clear that their reputation was sterling. It was much better than we had hoped. The happy hour menu is really impressive and it's like having a tasting sampler of some of the restaurant's best dishes. They offer salads, soups, seafood, and quality meats all in dishes for two....like two filet sliders, two oysters Rockefeller, etc. We started with the jumbo crab cake and it was the largest and finest crab cake we have ever had anywhere! No fillers....just a huge amount of fresh crab meat with a delicious sauce built in. One order feeds two, unless you just can't help yourself. Then we had African lobster bites that were crunchy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside; five of them were served like popsicles and we asked for melted butter to go with them (do that!). Fantastic! The next dish we don't recommend as strongly: two oysters prepared Rockefeller style, but the oysters were much too small to be satisfying and they were covered with an overbearing crunchy panko covering which overwhelmed what should have been the oyster flavor. Next came filet sliders, medium rare and absolutely delicious...excellent beef and super tender. Then the big surprise were lamb "popsicles". But these were really much more, a full one-bone lamb chop, with excuisite flavor. Wow! Dessert was excellent also, a Meyer Lemon Torte with toasted meringue and fresh fruit accents. Rich, creamy, but not overbearing. Service was exceptional: thank you so much Priscilla! And the General Manager, Rudy, came by to have a nice chat about this restaurant as well as their place in La Hoya, Southern California. What a great find! The great food and drinks were not inexpensive but well worth the cost. And the atmosphere is very classy. Enjoy!

We recently dined at Catalan and were thoroughly impressed by the food. I had the scallops, and they were absolutely divine—some of the best I’ve had in the area. My husband ordered the lamb chops, and he really enjoyed them as well. Service was also friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back.
