A group of 8 of us had a reservation for 6pm on a Saturday night. We got there about 5:45 and they promptly seated us. But from there service went downhill. We ordered drinks and those were brought out and we immediately ordered. The server suggested focaccia to start and it was light and delicious. We all loved our cocktails. I highly recommend the Island Empress. I loved it! Our salads came awhile after. The wedge was disappointing. There were four crumbles of bacon and a tiny amount of blue cheese. Just lackluster considering it was a $17 salad. We then waited over 30 minutes for our entrees. I would have asked the server where the food was but we never saw the server. When the food finally came it was all ok. The short rib was a stand out and the person who ordered the steak liked it. The cioppino wasn't good at all. We also tried to order wine that they didn't have which is fine but there was no offer to try another kind. The service just felt unprofessional. The woman was nice but just not trained. The kids really wanted dessert so we asked how long the lava cake would take we're told 10 minutes. 20 minutes later it came. The bill included 20 percent gratuity. We spoke to the manager who said she would come to the table for more info but she never came. We did see her walking around chatting with staff. When staff knows service is slow they should apologize and check in a lot. Overall it was a bad experience. Mediocre food and bad service with prices that demand more. Don't waste your time or money read more

My family and I swung by for a quick late lunch and were pleasantly surprised at just how beautiful this hotel/restaurant was! We sat outside and enjoyed their fresh lemonade and signature cocktails alongside our meals. Our server, Felipe, was so sweet and made some great recommendations! We will DEFINITELY be coming back next time we're in town! read more

Grapefruit Restaurant gives you a dining experience inside of the Tommy Bahama resort. The service was extremely kind and we were seated fast. The food quality was good, some dishes were bigger in portion than the others. The Lox Flatbread was acidic, fresh, and fairly big in portion while the Brisket Burger was a bit smaller in portion and was a bit rubbery and dry. The Poke was a hit for me however. A great balance of avocado and blue ahi paired with the rice chips made a great appetizer for the table. Depending what you order the price may not be worth the portion and quality you receive, however I would still love to explore the menu. The seafood options topped the land food for me read more

Grapefruit Basil Restaurant - Patio and bar area - New American Near Me - Indian Wells, California

Thoroughly awful. Pls don't go here. This place started strong with their bread and from there it was downhill. We were a group of 6 and all of our entrees were inedible- either overly salted or extremely bland and my husband's ribeye was nearly all fat. We compared to the other 2 Rib eyes and it was clearly another cut. It also took an hr between our appetizer and our entree even tho the restaurant was nearly empty. We asked the server to take back the steak bc it was completely inedible and then I saw 2 chefs come out and stare at us, point at us, then go back in, not exactly the atmosphere you want when sending back food which is not something we do often. After a long while, while the rest of us had long finished our food, my husband got his steak which was sent to us by a bitter rude manager. No apologies, No words really, felt he was actually angry at us. Then because we kept looking at him like what the hell is your problem, he finally said I'll come check on you. Period. No apologies again. Avoid this place at all cost, it's horrible and the steak was not comped- he took off the bread charge lol wtf. This place sucks hope you go out of business soon. read more

We had such a nice experience at Grapefruit Basil inside the Tommy Bahama Miramonte Resort. We went for a late lunch and sat at the bar so we could watch football, which was perfect. The Halibut Tacos and Bluefin Tuna Poke were both fresh and flavorful, and the service was spot on--friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Great spot to relax, eat well, and enjoy the atmosphere. read more

Grapefruit Basil Restaurant - Elijah the awsome waiter - New American Near Me - Indian Wells, California

Great food and service. Elijah especially made us feel very special as did Isaiah. Fantastic team.

The atmosphere is so beautiful and a nice hidden gem in the valley. The bluefin tuna poke is truly a delightful dish. Walking in I am able to see that the restaurant is busy and a little short staffed. I chose to still dine in the restaurant so I am aware things might take a little longer. Instead of being frustrated with the servers because I have free will to stay and eat there so I can not be upset with them. Gisell took care of my husband and I. Nelson checked in on our tables a few times which was greatly appreciated. Definitely will be back to visit! Great service and amazing foo read more

Grapefruit Basil Restaurant - View from table - New American Near Me - Indian Wells, California

It's too bad that this place is so poorly managed.It's such a nice place unfortunately they don't appear to take advantage of that and hire sub par F&B staff. The restaurant was busy but not crazy busy so that's not an excuse for the long delay in drink orders and food order. It was only my wife and myself there for our anniversary.I wasn't going to let the fact we were bumped from an outside table to accommodate very intoxicated and loud hotel guests. It was 20 minutes from drink order to delivery. Nothing fancy.We grabbed the opportunity to order thinking we may experience the same outcome. We ordered what we were told was the House favorite, halibut. We also ordered a salad to split. LThere was no mention it was going to be just the halibut solo on the plate. So after another 35 minutes,kid you not,they both came at the same time. Mind you we haven't seen our server since the drink order 55 minutes earlier, a manager looking woman took our order. I'm now panicking we need to order a side of something, I'm fumbling on my app to bring the menu back up and after hunting down our original server, order a side of asparagus.Can't go wrong with that. I was mortified to see spears of mushy, overcooked spears of fibrous chaos on a plate. Crazy part is that it was delivered within minutes so whose send back did we get? the halibut was so overcooked that it was like eating a brick of stiff strands of flavorless inedible expensive cod like entree. I'm questioning if that's what I got.Moving on, it was acknowledged from the beginning we were there for our anniversary yet no attempt to present us with the desert menu, only the over priced check.The woman earlier that I thought resembled a manager came by and asked how the dinner was,I looked at her as if to say can we talk and she walked away, only to tell me later I rolled my eyes or something to that effect. No attempt to resolve my concerns.I hope this review paints a very detailed experience and make some changes to staff read more

Back in town for a 2 week stay and was so excited to stop into the new Tommy Bahama resort! We love the restaurant in El Paseo. We arrived for dinner and walked around the lobby bar area and outside. When it isn't terribly hot they have a lovely patio area to enjoy with fire pits, outdoor couches, tables and chairs. A bocce ball court which kept my son entertained while we enjoyed a drink! The decor is fun throughout the lobby, bar and restaurant. The restaurant was quiet and I was a little nervous about our 2 year old. We were the youngest folks apart from our servers. Anyways, we ordered drinks, they were really kind and cute with our son. Cocktail list if better and more unique than the wine list. We had to dine a bit quickly given an antsy kid but we enjoyed salads and a halibut dish. Food was good but lacked a wow factor, especially for the price. And everything was a bit under seasoned and spiced for my liking. My husband and I actually thought the kids chicken fingers and ranch sauce was better than the fish. Service was amazing! Young staff who were really attentive and welcoming. I always appreciate a restaurant and staff who are patient with dining parents and kids. I don't think we caused too much of a stir but this was an older crowd around 6pm on a weekday. Our server Pharoh was excellent from beginning to end. He could see we were trying to make a swift exit and kindly took care of our check and to go boxes very quickly and kindly. I'd love to see a more central theme to the menu here. Otherwise it just feels like trying to create an elevated experience to the casual TB spots but the food really isn't different but is more expensive. I'll be back though! I can't wait to enjoy drinks on the patio! read more

Breakfast at Grapefruit Basil was the perfect way to start my morning. Everything was fresh, bright, and thoughtfully prepared--the salmon lox flatbread was a standout and even boxed up beautifully for the perfect later-day snack. The ambiance is on point. The indoor décor is chic and tropical, with big windows looking out onto modern Mediterranean olive trees and beautiful outdoor grounds. It's the kind of setting that makes you want to stay a little longer. But the real highlight was my server, Wendy. Dining with her first thing in the morning was like sunshine. Her warmth and attentiveness set the perfect tone for the day. Grapefruit Basil is a little gem, and Wendy made it feel like home. read more

Came on a Tuesday afternoon about 3:30 pm for Happy Hour, busy. Prices significantly increased since the last menu I saw posted ($23 for the brisket burger with fries compared to $14 for the same burger in 2024). Food at the bar was a bit of wait at 30+ minutes, drinks were faster. Some of the syrups facing us either had no label or were expired by more than one week (past the use by date they had on their stickers...). Place had resort vibes. Servers were nice. Drinks were otherwise good, food was okay (meat was dry in both our dishes). read more

Grapefruit Basil Restaurant - Fresh toast n Benedict - New American Near Me - Indian Wells, California

Cute place but service was slow, and food wasn't great. The menu options were pretty standard with nothing too spectacular. I was there for brunch but with the limited menu items, I ordered the brisket bacon burger. The meat patty was super dry, even though I requested it to be made medium rare. The menu says the burger has bacon but mine didn't have any. I waited for a server to come back around to correct my burger dilemma, but after waiting so long, I just ate the burger as it was. The steak tacos looked good online but what my sister received looked like beef jerky. Nothing memorable about this dining experience except how much it could improve. read more

First time, food was amazing Gabby was our sever and she had the best attitude great serves and had great input on food recommendations.

This place is amazing! The ambiance is relaxing and comforting. The food (we had the Ham Eggs Benedict and Crab Benedict- Simply put PHENOMENAL! The below three employees here went and got above and beyond. Our server Wendy (professional and courteous). She knows the menu inside and out and she did everything with a SMILE. Chef Mat we had the pleasure meeting. We had a small situation to which he was extremely professional and attentive to the situation. Not to mention he and his team need the upmost applaud for their food and presentation. And SMILED the entire time. General Manager Javier ensured that our time eating here was with strict professionalism and care. With a SMILED. Hopefully you see a commonality here - ALL SMILES, GREAT FOOD AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. read more

Food and beverage was a 10/10. We went with all of her recommendations! She explained to us that this menu is specifically designed for the hotel which made it a treat. The bluefin tuna poke was our favorite. What a great experience thanks to her! read more

Our fav spot in Indian Wells. Breakfast, dinner or drinks are all the best times. Brian in the dining room is truly an outstanding waiter. He suggests the best choices and shares why he loves it. We love the crab cakes, the risotto , charcuterie board, the eggs Benedict but the Caesar salad is the best in the desert. Feels like you are dining in Spain. Enjoy the fire pits and chill with the best cocktails or a French Rose. The ladies in the gift shop are so very nice too read more

We had dinner here on the restaurant a few months back. The food was good, the staff was still working out some kinks as the had not been open long. We decided to go back and try happy hour at the bar and try their bar fare. We were sad to find out there was no happy hour. We sat for a while and no one came to help us, so we ordered a drink from the bartender. We sat a little longer and decided we weren't going to stay for dinner. A great option for the hotel guests, but maybe not for the local just out for a nice dinner. The grapefruit basil martini was however delicious! read more
