    Found this cute little gem for a bite to eat while we were staying in La Quinta. Small plates and a small vibe with good drinks.We decided to each order appetizer to share and our own entrees. We started with ahi poke nachos, bruschetta and Brussel sprouts. All of them were yummy.For entrees we chose sliders, tacos and lobster pasta. They were all delicious.We went with standard drinks like lemon drop and strawberry margarita the were not on the menu since they had a full bar.Nice cozy atmosphere, host and servers were very nice. I’d recommend making reservations if you plan to go. We just got lucky on a Thursday night to slip in.

    Its always fun when you are in a place to try new Restaurants.Indio , Palm springs on a Saturday night especially when its cold in Los Angeles and Canada are really busy in March .Was there to play a round of golf with friends and started looking in earnest as most good ppaces were booked early evening.Came upon this small place in a mall ttpe locatiin and was able to get a table.What a pleasant surprise, Food is family sharing style and everything from Salads to tge Shrimp balls ? To the steak tacos was delicious.The service was very attentive and the entire evening was reslly reasonable !Which was an additional surprise, try it the next time you are in Indio.

    They have indoor and outdoor seating available and outdoor fire heaters. The food is amazing and the drinks are strong honey. This is my new date place. I love the lobster risotto pickleball punch. Beef sliders. Filet mignon tacos need a bit more heat for me but they are okay. Make a reservation in advance. Total bill $ for people. They also have live music on weekends sometimes.

    Not sure how this restaurant is rated so highly. The service was fine, but the food was extremely disappointing. The website says they use organic and local as much as possible, but you could clearly tell there was no quality in the ingredients they used. Either that, or the chef does not know how to cook. The risotto didn’t even use risotto rice, and it was supposed to be pumpkin yet there was no pumpkin flavor. The cheese used on the birria tacos looked like a slice of Kraft cheese. The brussel sprouts were drowning in what seemed to be a low quality oil. Everything was flavorless and the presentation of the food matched the low quality. I think it is easy to tell when a restaurant uses quality ingredients and cares about the food they serve and this restaurant very clearly doesn’t.
