DSRT CLUB! Another creation brought to you by the owners of RD RNNR. In developing a sister restaurant to RD RNNR, we set out to create a social club atmosphere that drew inspiration from the lore of Desert nostalgia. In our journey through the development of the name and design, we came across a true desert classic in The Desert Club. This vintage establishment was built in the late 1930’s and was closed up in the late 1980’s. With the 1940’s and 1950’s marking the major success of The Desert Club, we then envisioned a restaurant that brought back the swanky essence of those years here in the Desert. With the intent to restore some vintage ADULT dining to the “cove”, our hope is to establish a feeling of upscale classic that is reminiscent of “nostalgic” Desert vibes. We are focused on offering a great feel in ambiance, amazing food and exceptional service all wrapped in a tight bow. We look forward to dining with you!

    We felt so lucky to wander on to the Thanksgiving buffet. It was by far the very best Thanksgiving meal our family has ever eaten! The service was absolutely top-notch too!

    The pre-Thanksgiving, prix fixe menu was good. Most of the food was perfectly cooked. The butternut squash soup was AMAZING. The salads were super good, mine being quite unique with a goat cheese-beet spread smeared on the bottom of the bowl. My partner had the prime rib which was perfectly cooked, but a bit bland. I had the Branzino which was PERFECT. Melted in your mouth. The pies themselves were good, but the crust was kind of awful. Very floury. The only real complaint I had was the price of the drinks, I know we chose a higher end whiskey, but not THAT higher end - $36/ea for an old fashioned was a lot!! Either way, I’d go again. Looking forward to trying their Italian food!

    WOW what a terrific dinner! We celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary and chose the Cliffhouse. Denise our server was warm and gracious, and our dinner was exceptional. I had the filet mignon, which was tasty and cooked to perfection, and my husband had the Wagu strip steak, and it was amazing. He also had the Ceaser salad and said it was the best one he has had and he orders them wherever we go. Praise to the new Executive Chef who has elevated the food to new heights!

    Wonderful meal. Waitress was excellent. Did asked to be moved to the main dining room instead of a back area with big parties with kids we were placed with initially, and they accommodated within 10 minutes.
