I walked over to the Chef's Secret Window which is on the backside of Pinzimini, and it literally just a window through which you order and receive your food. The breakfast burrito was larger than expected for $11, and it was served hot and fresh. There are tables right outside the window for you to sit, with views of the lazy river and geese. I enjoyed it and think you will too.

Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Chef's Secret Window is located next to the resort's flagship restaurant Pinzimini. You walk up to the window (you can ring the bell for service if no one is present), order, and your food is ready in 5-10 minutes. The 12" pepperoni pizza, with its piping-hot crunchy crust and crisp pepperonis, hit the spot! The (unpressed) Cubano came on focaccia, and both it and the very simple grilled cheese sandwich came with house made chips.

When we moved to the Coachella Valley in 2022, we tried looking for good BBQ and were really…read moredisappointed by the local offerings. We tried about every place we could find. That search finally ended when we found Smokey Lips BBQ. Chef Adam makes the best BBQ this side of Kansas City - seriously. His food is always excellent and made with great care. Last year for Thanksgiving we ordered his smoked turkey, and we have vowed never to spend a Thanksgiving without one if we can. The only complaint I have about Smokey Lips BBQ is that I can't get it whenever we want it, which isn't really a complaint, but a compliment! But in this era, it's a nice reminder that good things take time, and some gems are meant to be savored whenever you have the chance. I hate social media, but I go on Instagram specifically to find out where and when Chef Adam will be offering his amazing food. Follow Smokey Lips there. You won't be disappointed!!

This spot that was featured on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives, and it definitely lives up to the…read morereputation. Ordered the New York style hot pastrami on rye with coleslaw and a Dr. Brown's Cream Soda. The pastrami was the highlight. Piled high, tender, and full of that classic deli flavor with just the right amount of richness. The rye bread held everything together well and had a nice bite to it. It's the kind of sandwich you have to take a second to look at before figuring out how to eat it. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp, a good balance to the sandwich, and the cream soda was cold and refreshing. Also ordered a slice of pistachio cake to go. Absolutely delicious. The place has that old school deli feel, busy but in a good way, and full of character. Service was friendly and efficient even with the crowd. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're in Palm Desert and want a proper deli sandwich.

Hostess and waitress were both professional and friendly. Our husbands ordered the pastrami, one in the and the other on a Kaiser roll. I split a turkey Sammy with my friend and we also split a root bear float. The pastrami was very tender and tasty and not at all too salty. Rye bread was good but too much bread with the Kaiser roll. Turkey sandwich was very dry and nothing to wow about. They served us pickles at the beginning of the meal which was good. Got a piece of chocolate cake to go as well as their rice pudding. Great experience but sandwiches are not worth the price.

I have been wanting to come here for years, based on the great Eater 38 and Yelp reviews, and…read morefinally had the chance. We came with a group of 10 of us, so got to taste a lot of dishes. For appetizers, our favorites were the crispy ginger green beans (so flavorful and tasty!), the hand-rolled crispy egg rolls (yum!); and the crunchy tiger shrimp spring rolls (freshy and tasty; liked these better than the poached shrimp spring rolls or mango spring rolls). For entrees, our top favorites were the (1) chicken protein bowl w/ fresh seasonal vegetables in a delicious sauce w/ a touch of chili oil and tamari soy sauce; (2) the sweet tamari glazed salmon w/ wok fried rice noodles nad peanut tamarind sauce; and (3) the pad thai trio (w/ pork, chicken & shrimp). The tiger shrimp vermicelli w/ shrimp wontons (like a crispy egg roll), was good, but not the best I've had; noodles were thicker than usual. The spicy red curry ramen w/ pork belly had a very flavorful sauce, but the coconut broth made it quite heavy. The Vietnamese crepe w/ pork & shrimp was good, but had too many bean sprouts. The Fried Chicken was good, and very generous portion, but had a lot of breading and bones. Next time would like to try the pho. They also have a happy hour, currently 5-6 pm at the bar and outdoors w/ cocktail, wine, beer and appetizer specials. Friendly service and nice ambiance. Would definitely return!

Delightful menu surprises ensued and this time I was taken to a new culinary level with the Chili Osso Buca bowl. How could I ever have the traditional Osso Buca again having tried this transformative vision! We also were introduced to the lobster popcorn (I leave the description to your imagination...because the preparation will surprise you with culinary delight!). Fellow guests had their usual preferred bowls, a vegetarian pad Thai that was worth singing about and some wonderful grilled pork and veggies. Trying to plan our next visit to this gem in the desert. Hopefully it is soon. The service, as always is the very best, whether you are a regular or first time visitor, chairs are comfortable and indoor and outdoor seating satisfies every happy customer. Creative drink menu and desserts. C

I…read moregrew up coming to the desert from San Diego often and my family and I would always stop here for our breakfast or occasional dinner, although we would go to the Palm Desert location given that we had a place in Indian Wells. This past weekend, I stopped in town for a long weekend to get away from work and of course had to stop in to Sherman's for a great breakfast. Inside is very large and can host many different sized groups. One of the things I love the most is all the cakes on display. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. There's also a large free parking lot attached on the side otherwise free street parking is also easy to find. Just like most delis, the menu here is gigantic. There are plenty of great options. For this breakfast, I chose the Cinnamon Roll to start and will say I was not a very big fan of it. It was giant, but it almost tasted more like dense cake and not the gooey Cinnabon type of roll. I would not recommend that. However, the Chili Cheese Omelette I got was great and that I would highly recommend. I've also had many of their sandwiches before and would recommend the Reuben especially. I will definitely be back next time I'm in the desert.
