The staff was very attentive, and the food and drinks were amazing. The ambiance was extraordinary as well. The executive chef came out to thank us for choosing them to celebrate, and went the extra mile by sending over champagne to toast the birthday girl. That kind of thoughtful touch really made the night. I also shared my experience with my team at work--everyone can't wait to go. Thank you for helping make it such a memorable celebration!

From wall to wall you see an ocean of vintage sunburnt blondes flashing shiny nails and swinging around their high wedges; white maned or balding gentlemen in navy silk shirts and linen pants in bone leaning towards one another other while sharing a conspiratorial joke; drinks consist of a long wine list plus tantalizingly tasty original cocktails & ridiculously delicious, plate-clearing fare, all coupled with excellent, easy service. Bread brought to the table was crunchy, thick, warm, and served with salted herb butter. They even sprinkled celebratory decor on our table for my friend's birthday & brought a complimentary champagne toast and dessert(s) to top it all off. Really nice evening, Thank You ~

I looked at the manager and looked at the one of the chefs down the hall who was starring back at me and just simply said "you ran out? ....Okay" and gladly walked away.....as I walked away there was one of the Sullivan's employees that happened to walk out with me and i politely asked "How do I get to the Pacifica restaurant next door?" And he gladly let me know that i can gladly walk along the pathway instead of having to go another way up or down. This part was very funny to me (Being sarcastic) I then walked into Pacifica asking for utensils and as the Hostess went to grab some, THE MANAGER FROM SULLIVAN'S came into Pacifica and handed me utensils.....i looked at at him and he said "Oh we found some" and he walked away ....i had no words i was already frustrated that this could have been prevented....It was my first time trying Sullivan's and will be the last....Mind you Pacifica was filled with people.

The noise never got out of hand, they were on the clock and on their best behavior but they were having as much fun as could be had at such events. The restaurant was fully booked on a Saturday fully with hustling background ambiance that was not noisy and pleasant. Our maître d brought us to the table and let us know Raul our waiter had been there 20 years. That had me in a 'OK, Ripley, what can you do?' kind of mood. Date ordered the Pomegranite Cosmopolitan and I tried the Banana Old Fashioned. Both were excellent, cosmo on the dryer side of sweet and the Old Fashioned sweeter in a good way with a banana finish. Raul upon delivering them, delivered himself. He gave us the heads up that he has a table of 14 coming up and he would like to get our order in before them, so we are not waiting. (Raul's 10000 hours showing up.) Wife ordered salad and shrimp, I got the ribeye medium rare with the Sullivans sauce and the asparagus with parmesan side to share. All the food was tremendous 10/10. Showed up quickly and plentiful. Thanks to Raul and staff at Sullivan's, we have a local go to steakhouse. We just moved to Palm Desert in August and continuously feel lucky.

My anniversary dinner was supposed to be a special night, and we chose Mastro's because we had…read moreheard it was one of the best steakhouses. Unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing. We ordered steak and fries and specifically asked for our steaks to be cooked medium, but what we received looked almost completely raw and nowhere near what we had asked for. For the amount of money we paid, we expected much better quality, properly cooked food, and an overall dining experience worth the price. Instead, we were left upset and disappointed on a night that was supposed to be special for us. When you go to a high-end steakhouse like Mastro's, you expect attention to detail and food prepared correctly, especially when you clearly communicate how you want your steak cooked. Sadly, that was not our experience. Overall, this was a huge disappointment. The prices are high, but our food did not meet the expectations that come with them. I would think twice before returning, and I honestly expected much more from a restaurant with such a reputation.

Both dishes came out perfect. Mussels were fresh, large and plenty and the broth was very tasty. The chef's pasta was even better, with perfectly cooked large prawns, mixed peppers, veges and several spices combined into a yummy yet light-ish creamy sauce. Will definitely return to try their extensive dinner menu. Service and ambience were both excellent too.

### **Consistently Amazing - Our Go-To for Great Seafood and Cocktails!**…read more We had another wonderful dinner with friends at Oceana in Palm Desert, and once again, they knocked it out of the park! This place has become a favorite of ours because the service is consistently fantastic every single time we visit. One of the things we love most about Oceana is the variety. We try to order something different from the menu each time we go, and we are never disappointed. The seafood is always incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. Beyond the food, the bar program is top-tier--the cocktails are creative, perfectly balanced, and always hit the spot. What truly elevates the dining experience here, though, is the staff. They are always amazing, welcoming, and attentive, making us and our friends feel right at home. If you are looking for incredible seafood, great drinks, and stellar service in Palm Desert, Oceana is the place to go. We already can't wait for our next visit! I highly recommend!

It did not disappoint . The hostess Kiera was gracious enough to locate a booth for us . I asked for the server / waiter Kohl who had serviced us previously in July . He came with a big smile and welcomed us back again . This guy knows his stuff and knows how to take care of his patrons. You won't go wrong asking for him ! We chose from the menu the 3 for $60 prix fixe meal with salad , entree, and dessert . We upgraded to the rib eye medium rare for both of us , the Caesar salad ( which was humongous) and for dessert the cheesecake . The food was delish and the steak so juicy and cooked perfectly . Since it was our anniversary Kohl upgraded our dessert to the molten lava cake and a classic cheesecake with berries . Omg the lava cake was light and so good ! The classic cheesecake was not heavy but tasty and not overly sweet . Hey , this was a great dining experience to celebrate our special day . Kudos to Ruth Chris and Kohl for giving us another reason to come back . For that special event or day Ruth Chris deserves consideration .

The steak was cooked perfectly, the lobster was delicious, and we definitely left very full! The atmosphere was beautiful and made it feel like a true special-occasion dinner. Celebrating my birthday and 10 years of marriage made the night meaningful already, and Ruth's Chris was the perfect place for it.

I'm not exaggerating when I say I've eaten here almost every day of some of my vacations. That's how much I love this place! The food is absolutely incredible. Every dish is packed with flavor, and you can really taste the love and care that goes into the cooking. Everything is so delicious, comforting, and authentic. One of my favorite things about this restaurant is bringing my friends and family here for the first time. Without fail, everyone is always blown away by how amazing the food is. I genuinely love introducing people to this hidden gem because I know they're going to love it just as much as I do. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and it's the kind of place that makes you feel right at home. It's rare to find a restaurant that keeps you coming back over and over again, but Mi Cultura has absolutely earned that spot for me. If you're ever in the desert, do yourself a favor and eat here. You won't regret it! I'll certainly be back every single time I'm in town.

Now, to be fair,…read morewhile some locations are attached to a store, this outpost on El Paseo is a completely separate venue, across the street from the clothing and furniture stores, and if you knew nothing about it, you'd never think this lovely restaurant was even related. The vibe is Caribbean chic, with woods and off-white tones to the decor, and a staff that finds the right balance between friendly attentiveness and laidback calm to make you relax and get comfortable. We sat at the bar and were tended to by Mandy (who confirmed she was named for the Manilow song); she was lively and full of suggestions, and kept tabs on us very well. I'll add that the other bartenders were just as friendly when they pitched in, as were the food runners. We were just aiming for a snack, so we ordered the Skillet Biscuits and Lobster Skewers. The biscuits came piping hot and packed with flavor. Flaky and buttery, with a pleasing crown of Maldon salt, they melted in your mouth, and paired perfectly with either of the accompanying spreads. Honey butter was sweet but not too much so, and Pimento Cheese had just the right combination of funk and spice. The Lobster Skewers were light and tasty: the tail of a slipper lobster, split, spiked and grilled over fire, landing with the look and aroma of something that's been through the flames. Served with clarified butter for dipping, the tender lobster meat was fresh and satisfying. But the big surprise was the accompanying Succotash, a vegetable medley I usually dislike and had planned to leave untouched. I decided to try it because it looked so good, and it sure was terrific. Fresh corn and baby squash bathed in lemon and butter, and lightly seasoned, it really was a terrific bite. I should also mention that I ordered a cocktail: the Berry Proper, made with gin, Framboise, lemon and a dash of simple syrup. It was equal parts sweet and tart, and wholly refreshing. It was a light lunch split between two, but it was very tasty, and far more satisfying than the usual sandwich or burger. Kudos to Mandy and the team.

However, this place loses 3 stars because of the QUALITY of the food & their sad little buffet. They are charging champagne prices and delivering buzzball on a plate. I couldn't believe the tier pricing, which gives you access to more meat (or perhaps better quality) if you pay the top price which is 80dollars... but the mid tier gives you meat and buffet and the meats were terrible quality... no matter the temperature they were hard or chewy and one particular cut I had to immediately spit out because it tasted spoiled... Eeeeeyuck!! The buffet was tiny and cheap... also low quality. So, im deeply offended at the audacity of their prices & wouldn't recommend a soul to eat there unless or until they make changes...
