Restaurants near Cactus City Rest Area

This is our favorite Chinese restaurant in Olive of Coachella Valley. Lately it’s been going downhill the Kung pow chicken has been overcooked every time they must have a new chef. It is not the same for the past month.

Food, drinks and ambience are all on point. Highly rated. The service at the table was okay, it was really busy. But our server was pleasant. We are definitely coming back. So happy that there is a cool chic restaurant in Indio. Look for the silver door.

The Bistro has the best steak in the Coachella Vslley. It’s our favorite place for a special occasion. We always share a meal. We shared a Caesar salad which was plenty as shared and brought to us already divided. For a $12 fee our shared entree was divided in the kitchen. Shared the 12 oz filet and we each selected our own sides (full size portion) with left overs brought home. Steak was melt in your mouth tender! Justin was our waiter and knows what he’s doing. Professional yet friendly! Afterwards always move to the bar for a chocolate espresso martini served by the best bartender ever-Adrian. Always enjoy great conversation with him and he makes fabulous drinks!! Only criticism we have is we find it very strange that reservations are always only available very early or late. Never during the prime dining hour -6 to 7 even when the restaurant is not busy. This applied to us last night. Could only get 5:15 or 7:30 ??

Our foursome had a lovely Christmas evening dinner on the patio. A set dinner menu with several options for starters, entrees and desserts. All were tasty, delicious and perfectly prepared and presented. Service was very good despite the restaurant being very busy with three seatings for dinner. Sebastian our server was excellent being efficient, personable and attentive. Michelle and Nicholas and the father-son owners, are outstanding long-term restauranteurs.

Had lunch at Pom today and the food was delicious. Service was excellent and timely.
