    Cheesecake with blueberry compote
    Dawn S.

    Chef Jacob was the best!!! He provided in home meals for my honeymoon. My husband and I were so impressed with his professionalism and food! I've been raving about his food nonstop since we've had it. Top notch service and incredibly personable! We literally want to visit again to specifically have Chef Jacob's food. His wife is also super amazing and it was awesome to see the two cooking alongside each other. Thank you so much!

    Chef Jacob and his team were incredible! The food was outstanding! They were informative on all the things I asked of them. The Menu had lots of options. We will defiantly be hiring them again!!

    We had a great experience with Jacob and Carolina. They communicated extremely fast prior to the event and helped us customize our menu perfectly. They arrived on time and got right to work and we truly could not believe the three course, six person dinner they produced in our small, not well outfitted, airbnb kitchen. It was incredible. They were so accommodating to my young daughters who were not part of our dinner, but wanted to watch professional chefs in action, and they even brought extra dessert for them! After they served the food, they did all the dishes and the kitchen was cleaner than before they came! I couldn't be happier with our choice to go with Your Sous Chef and would pick them again and again. Honestly if I lived in the area, I would book them on a regular basis just to try more of their food. Definitely recommend if you are in the Palm Springs area!

    Amazing chef, amazing assistant, amazing food! The 12 girls in our group absolutely loved everything about the dinner and hope to do it again! Definitely recommend Chef Jacob!

    Im so sorry that I did not post this sooner, I can tell you this that EVERY day i think that i need to acknowledge what a great guy Chef Jacob is and Your Sous Chef.... So here it is.... He Is Amazing this guy is the real deal, he is honest and genuine cooks chops and works to your schedule and does with what ever you want. I felt so comfortable from the get go and thats a plus. He delivered and was on time, looking very professional and prepared. Chef Jacob came had the meal as agreed on target, chopped prepped and severed us and blessed us with an amazing time. The scallops. the salad and prime rib was perfect and a lovely presentation, it could not have been sweetener. Jacob also brought his sweet wife who came and served and helped out, what a bonus.. One nice treat too, is that he brought his own plates and took them as well, so no clean up for the host. We Will not hesitate to use Chef Jacob again. He is the perfect SOUS chef and I can not thank him enough for his help on making a great dinner for our dear friend Arnie 69th birthday.. On a side note Arnie died 4 days later sadly, we find comfort in the fact that he had a wonderful lovely favorite meal in his own home with his dear family and friends.

    Chef Jacob is absolutely reliable and creates absolutely beauty masterpieces with food. I contacted chef with a last minute request for a charcuterie board and he came through astonishingly. I was ordering based on reviews because I am not from the city so I was a bit hesitant... but luckily it turned out great. My sister which was staying in la Quinta loved her board! I contacted him in the early afternoon and 4:30 the charcuterie board was delivered! Great service!!!! Thank you Chef!

    Seasonal salad

    I planned a weekend getaway for my fiancé's 30th birthday in Indio and hired this team. Chef Jossi and her assistant Claudia were great. Punctual, resourceful and friendly. We had plenty of food (lamb chops, Scottish Salmon, maple bacon Brussels, garlic mash and seasonal salad). My family is filled with foodies and they raved about the food and service all weekend. The chefs even cleaned and pack the left overs for us! Would definitely recommend.

Kiki's Sala: salanova lettuce is unusual but tasty -- like arugula without the bitterness. This is a large portion which you could share with four people as an appetizer. Sugar Snap Pea pizza: unexpected flavors with snap peas, mushrooms, & stracciatella. Table was divided on whether this worked. Cacio e Pepe: this version uses bucatini and is a little creamier than the classic. I ate it all regardless. Grilled Avocado: the name ignores that it includes fried artichokes as well. Satisfying and not too garlicky. Another large portion. The only disappointing item was the Polenta -- a little bland. If you get the Chicken Parm, you only need a half portion. Jack says the best two dishes are the Caesar and Linguini & Clams. They fly in Juniors cheesecake from NY! Full bar, attractive ambiance, and well trained staff. Go to Kiki's.

What really impressed us was the owner making the rounds to personally greet each table--it added such a personal, heartfelt touch that you don't often see. As for the food, it absolutely delivered. The chicken parm was perfectly cooked with rich, comforting flavors, and the hanger steak was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Between the exceptional service and the delicious dishes, this was one of those meals that leaves you already planning your next visit.

Our server never properly greeted us and incorrectly assumed we didn't need a cocktail menu because I brought a bottle of wine (I'm a certified sommelier working in fine dining). We did want cocktails--and unfortunately, when they arrived, they were rancid and undrinkable. No one checked on them. My wine was poured into a glass that smelled like dirty socks. When I asked for a clean glass, the request was met with visible annoyance. Despite paying a significant corkage fee, service deteriorated to the point where I was pouring my own wine. We were aggressively rushed to order--asked roughly five times within four minutes. The steak tartare was not fresh, overwhelmingly mustard-forward, and poorly balanced. The Caesar salad was fine, but unremarkable. The pork chop, recommended medium, arrived in about five minutes and was badly overcooked, dry, and inedible. After waiting over 10 minutes for a check-in, we were told the kitchen had already closed and were offered a box instead. We asked for the dish to be removed from the bill. This felt like another case of younger guests being treated dismissively. Having spent years in fine dining, this was a deeply disappointing and frankly embarrassing hospitality experience. Ambiance alone cannot make up for poor service and careless execution.

The menu might be considered small however plenty of excellent choices for everyone's palate. We started with martinis Aviation gin for me & Ketel 1 for my hubs complete with bleu cheeses olives served tall & verrry cold. Our appetizer choice, the deep fried artichokes served with a creamy tasty aioli nicely presented however a bit over salted for our tastes, hence the 4.5 vs 5 stars. We came in to Italica wanting pasta the Bolognese with wild boar/fennel sausage arrived practically overflowing from the bowl, easily could have served 2 or possibly an appetizer to share at the table. My choice the Spaghetti Alio Olio presented bucatini pasta with bread crumbs & pecorino cheese ~ OOOOH MY, sooooo DELICIOUS my bowl was inhaled. Mid meal we ordered the prosciutto ~ fig jam flatbread just perfection the jam adding sweetness in every crunchy bite. To full from our appetizer & pasta we skipped dessert this trip but we'll be back!!!!!! as the drive to Indio from Palm Desert is maybe 30 min (+\~) easy & plentiful FREE PARKING be sure to look for the all stainless patchwork door for entry, once inside relax & enjoy the vibe.

The food isn't nearly as high quality and it feels like less care is going into training the wait staff and curating positive guest experiences. I used to crave the bacon wrapped dates but they're now on the fatty side. The most notable change is that there used to be lovely tables with fire pits and cozy conversation seating and it's all been replaced with dining seating that's less conducive to dining with friends. Most important is the warm red wine and the shift in happy hour prices to "only if we have a bottle already opened" where you only find out if you won the happy hour lottery when you get the check. My question is, if the Meiomi wasn't already opened, why wasn't it chilled? Bottom line, hoping they go back to a more hospitality vibe and focus so we can come back and enjoy the lovely atmosphere again soon.
