Things were a bit hectic today. Part of order was missing and no split checks. Some didn't like the chipotle hollandaise sauce but I enjoyed the crab cakes. Ice tea is flavored. Mimosas and bloody Mary's are expensive and nothing special. Stuffed dates are very pricey but love the side salad with dates. There us live music. Have enjoyed it more on other occassions.Hello Ms. Sue, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry to hear that part of your order was missing and would like to know if we addressed this issue for you during your visit. With Mother's Day being one of the busiest days of the year, if not the busiest, we do understand that things may sometimes become hectic especially for our kitchen. It is also for this reason that we do not offer separate checks on these busy holidays although we do our best to accomodate this request even for large groups throughout the season. Please note that we do have daily drink specials in which you can get your mimosa at $5 instead of our regular $8 price and 50% off all bottles of wine, etc. We want you to enjoy your visit every single time and would love for you to return soon with a reservation taken by management so that we can make up for your less than excellent experience. Please feel free to call us at 760-775-0902 as we would love to speak to you so that we can make things right.We hope to hear from you soon. Thank you. -A. M.

We dined each morning at the breakfast buffet. It was spectacular, intrue Waldorf fashion. The food, both hot and cold, was fresh, plentiful,and delicious. We both agreed that the granola was the best that we hadever eaten (and I donât usually eat granola). I wish that they wouldpackage and sell it, since it is made on premise!!! Our waiters were topnotch and service was perfect. What a great way to start off the morning!Dear arts123,Your visit to Twenty6 was our distinct pleasure! I am so pleased that you enjoyed the setting, buffet and service - right down to the small details. We look forward to you being our guest again.Kind Regards,Paul Carter, Director of Food & Beverage

Went to LG's with my inlaws during our visit on a Saturday evening. There is a waiter there named John but called Joe too does their commercials who is a hoot. He knows everyone and came over to our table to chat and help our server out. The wine was wonderful, a molbech.....the steaks (we shared a rib eye) was cooked nicely but we did not think it had much flavor. We ordered three sides, mushrooms brussels sprouts and roasted potatoes with onions. The potatoes were quite good but the mushrooms were dry and flavorless, brussels were not that great either. I like mushrooms in butter and garlic but these were mostly stems and pieces and dry. Hoping for better from them.Thank you for your review. You are speaking of Joe who has been with us for over 25 yrs. He is an original! We have passed along your comments to our Chef. We hope to see you again!

Enjoyed the Israeli salad, requested them to hold the cilantro (which is an odd ingredient for a Middle Eastern salad) but they forgot to put in Kalamata olives (which is a normal ingredient in Middle Eastern salad!) the waitress brought over plenty of olives when I mentioned it. I ordered it with grilled shrimp and it was a wonderful treat on a warm afternoon. Highly recommend! Thank you for favorable review! We look forward to your return...Cheers,Chris

This restaurant was highly recommended by locals and Westin Willows where we stayed. There is plenty of onsite parking in their own lot. The restaurant is located in a residential area. The place at night has fantastic lighting outside and inside the open atrium restaurant. Definitely make reservations . We went on a Friday night and it was filled. The menu is great and offers a full selection of meats and fishes. I had Sea Bass huge pieces and my wife had Salmon cooked exactly the way she wanted. The waiter was Jorge and served our table to meet our fine dining means. Recommend that men wear slacks and a nice shirt and women wear dressy wear. Not casual attire. Highly recommend this restaurant for " special " occasions. Highly recommend.

My husband went the original Louiseâs Pantry in Palm Springs as a boy, so it was fun to find this one, literally around the corner from our second home in La Quinta! The breakfasts are pricy but include huge portions! Yummy!

Full disclaimer--have only eaten here thrice because it is very spendy. On the other hand it is very worth it. The ambiance, the service, the food is about as good as it gets in the desert. Only suggestion/gripe:avoid sitting near the front where the open bad intrudes visually and audibly into the dining room. Get a table farther in or on the patio if it's decent weather.Dear lakester4,I am pleased that Morgan's in the desert is your special occasion dining destination of choice, and am even more pleased that the service, ambiance, and menu options made for such wonderful evening. We look forward to welcoming you again.Warmly,Marco FoelskeResort Manager

This isn't in a "normal" spot, squeezed in amongst warehouse sized neighbors, but it is interesting tapas style food, without being amazing or must go again. Small restaurant with all glass front that sadly was ruined a couple of times with cars parking and leaving highlights blazing into the restaurant, a couple of times. Service was pleasant and the prices were fair. Like I said its ok, its good in fact, but it's just not all that memorable or romantic or quaint. Its small, packed and lacking a vibe or ambiance of any note
