EAT + DRINK

Porta Via Palm Desert

73100 El Paseo, Palm Desert, CA 92260

$$$ Meghan & Griffin's absolute favorite date night spot in the Desert. Our ideal date night would include starting with the Burrata & Heirloom Tomato for an appetizer, splitting the Miso-Glazed Chilean Sea Bass and Grilled Skirt Steak and ending the night with Lappert's Ice Cream! We recommend the Pali Spritz and the Older Brother to drink.

Okura Robata Grill & Sushi Bar

78480 California 111, La Quinta, CA 92253

$$ A classic La Quinta spot for dinner. You must try the Garlic Soy Edamame!

Lappert's Super Premium Ice Cream - Palm Desert, CA

73221 California 111, Palm Desert, CA 92260

$ Meghan and Griffin's favorite ice cream spot! Meghan always has a split scoop of Butter Pecan and Date Casablanca, while Griffin has a scoop of Cookie Dough. Their chocolate covered bananas are also to die for.

Nobu Indian Wells

78-200 Miles Avenue, Indian Wells, CA 92210

$$$$ A more expensive option. This Nobu is unique as it is overlooking Court 2 at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. An amazing experience if you want a more luxurious evening or a drink! We would recommend the yellowtail jalapeno, crispy rice with spicy tuna, black cod with miso and the famous Lychee Martini.

Tommy Bahama Restaurant, Bar & Store

73595 El Paseo, Palm Desert, CA 92260

$$ If you know you know! This spot holds a ton of memories for the Pooles and the Kanes. You must try the coconut shrimp and ahi tuna tacos.

The Pink Cabana

44-985 Province Way, Indian Wells, CA 92210

$$ A great place to go for brunch! Their espresso martini is a MUST.

In-N-Out Burger

78611 California 111, La Quinta, CA 92253

$ A classic. There are several locations throughout the Desert, however, this is closest to the Citrus Club. Pro tip: get your fries well-done ;)

Ristorante Mamma Gina

73705 El Paseo, Palm Desert, CA 92260

$$$$ Old-world Italian spot on El Paseo. We recommend starting with the Bruschetta and Griffin's favorite entree is the Saltimbocca alla Romana. If you have a sweet tooth, stay for the dessert cart! Our favorite is the Tiramisu.

Lavender Bistro

78073 Calle Barcelona, La Quinta, CA 92253

$$$ Modern Californian restaurant set in an elegant garden patio. Lavender is widely known as one of the best spots in the Desert!

La Quinta Cliffhouse

78250 California 111, La Quinta, CA 92253

$$$ Voted best happy hour in the Desert!

The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage

68900 Frank Sinatra Drive, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270

$$$$ There are a few dining options on site here. Definitely a more expensive option, but absolutely beautiful views if you are looking to have a cocktail or small bite with a view!

Tack Room Tavern

81800 51st Avenue, Indio, CA 92201

$$ Great place for food & drinks at the Empire Polo Fields (where Coachella is held).

Keedy's Fountain & Grill

73-633 California 111, Palm Desert, CA 92260

$ An iconic place for breakfast. Known to see a celebrity from time to time.

Desert Hills Premium Outlets
