    Will Donato The Art of Sax
    Jeff L.

    While in the desert we love to pop into the Larkspur Grill. It's a great location they have a very very good menu. And they have entertainment. What more could you ask for. The service is exceptional sometimes there's a slight wait because they are very busy. The ambience on the patio is lovely cool Coachella Valley breezes sunsets and a clear view of the stage, if you're there for the entertainment. If you sit on the patio you can also hear the music perfectly. The flat bread was amazing the burgers are good and bacon wrapped dates are delicious. We were there to see Will Donato, because he never let's you down. The whole band is amazing and always a great setlist to dance to. If you want to go out and have a great meal and a great time. Check out the Larkspur Grill. And if you can ever find Will Donato, make sure you make it over to see him.

    Me and my sister took a mini vacation and we were told by the hotel that they had a restaurant we were planning on maybe exploring elsewhere but we decided to give it a chance and we loved it ! the staff was amazing the live performances were great and the food was delicious definitely if you stay at this hotel dine and brunch here we did both

    Larkspur Grill will definitely be on rotation for me in Palm Desert. Came for Mother's Day brunch and the vibes were immaculate. This restaurant is located inside the Paseo Hotel and don't judge assuming that since it's a hotel restaurant it's average, that thought would be far from it. The service was on point (being a holiday weekend making me even more impressed with how stellar the service was), the food was fabulous, and the drinks were beautiful. Definitely make a reservation - you can't go wrong here though, the outside seating was shaded and cute, inside was stunning with their decor and wall art, and even the bar was welcoming you could definitely sit there if you want something more casual. There isn't a bad seat in the place. Again, service was beyond lovely. Everyone was friendly and attentive. Our waitress made Mother's Day special by being so kind and on top of things. We were also impressed with how quickly the food came out. Very good pace and they don't keep you waiting long. Another plus in my books. Great space from order being taken, cocktails coming out and then the mains. The menu is solid with a great cocktail and wine menu. I was impressed with all of the options. For brunch they had a nice menu half breakfast and half lunch. This restaurant feels slightly more upscale so most of the mains are around $20 give or take for brunch. Cocktails are also up there but well worth the price when it comes to presentation and flavor. My cocktail was the Lavender Dream. The cocktail wasn't purple but instead bright hot pink but beautiful. The flavors were delicious, great if you like a sweet drink which I do. The hibiscus sugar rim was stunning. Beautiful drinks. For our meals I had the wedge salad and because I am weird a side of pork sausage (I had a hankering for both breakfast and lunch bites). My mom had the eggs benefit and added tomato slices which was a smart idea. She loved her eggs Benedict and they were cooked just how she asked. My wedge salad wasn't only visually stunning but delicious. Crispy bacon, cold iceberg lettuce, and saucy, just how I like it. I'm also glad I ordered the side of breakfast sausage as they had a nice mild quick to them and were very tasty. Meal, ambiance, service, and decor was a 5/5. This place is awesome and I hope they are always maintaining this kind of a standard because I'd definitely be back. The price point makes sense for the experience and you get what you pay for. This spot could be great to celebrate any occasion and I'd definitely be back.

    Nighly entertainment at the Grill. (Some nights- check) Ton of FUN!  GO!

It clearly caters to a sophisticated crowd--very similar in vibe to their Calabasas location. While parking is accessible in the rear, it can get congested during peak season. The menu is extensive with plenty of excellent selections, though the pricing is definitely premium. For instance, a Cobb salad topped with fish can easily exceed $45; while the quality is high, that's a significant jump over nearby staples like Daily Grill. Service was friendly but lacked consistency; our server disappeared mid-meal without a hand-off, requiring us to flag down other staff. Overall, it's a bright, airy, and stylish spot well worth a visit, provided you're prepared for the 'luxury' price point.

When we were seated we were asked for drink orders and when we said we needed a second to decide our server left. this normally wouldn't be an issue except for the fact that she left us for around 30 minutes. when she came back we decided it would be easier to order it all at once. it then took another 30 minutes to get our drinks, and even more time for our food. When appetizers came out all of us were shocked that we did not receive plates. She brought them over later, but by that time we were finished with our appetizer.

Our original seafood plan fell through (fully booked, of course, because that's how these things go), so we pivoted last minute. Expectations were...moderate. What we got? A full-on flavor win. First things first: the coconut shrimp. Order it. Don't discuss it. Just do it. Crispy, sweet, a little tropical magic--gone way too fast. Then came the blackened mahi mahi tacos...wow. The kind of "close your eyes mid-bite" good. And the crab cakes? I actually felt a little emotional taking that last bite. No shame. The real plot twist, though? The kids. Our notoriously picky eaters didn't just tolerate the food--they enjoyed it. Like, voluntarily ate it. Parents, you know how rare that is. The vibe struck that sweet spot too--dimly lit and relaxed, with a breezy island feel that somehow still worked for a family night out. I was half expecting to feel out of place with kids in tow, but it couldn't have been more welcoming. The staff was warm, attentive, and made the whole experience easy. So yeah, what started as a backup plan turned into one of those unexpectedly great nights. Safe to say we'll be back--this time on purpose.

It is just a clubhouse or a golf course and I was betting the golf course was the focus and the restaurant was an after thought, like a snack bar at a baseball game. I was wrong!

Someone in our group got a margherita pizza and I ordered the "Figgy Piggy" which was a cauliflower crust pizza with prosciutto, fig jam, punchy feta cheese with a great sauce. It was thin, crispy, yet soft and flavorful. My Mom loved her margherita pizza and we both took half a pizza home each because of how large they were. I thought the food would be overpriced and small portions because I assumed we would mostly be paying for the view and people come to drink, not eat. Wrong again!

They have a long bar and two inside seating areas, as well as an outdoor patio (not in use during our visit). I also loved the glass wine cellar, which has a table to seat six and can be reserved, but there are some minimum purchase requirements on food/wine. FOOD: We took advantage of their Passion4Pinot special menu, a curated four-course experience ($54.60/person) with an additional wine pairing ($25/person). Farouk, their Sommelier, did a fantastic job pairing the wines with the food, truly one of the best pairings we've experienced. Since this was a "special menu", I'll let my pictures speak for themselves as each course was simply delicious. In addition to that, my mother-in-law started with a cup of the soup of the day which was a Cauliflower Bisque ($13). For her entrée, she had the Hi'ilani Shrimp appetizer ($20). Again, both items were simply delicious, and each course was perfectly timed out, so nothing overlapped (a pet peeve of mine). Overall, a wonderful first experience and won't be our last. I highly recommend you check them out.
