Sherman's deli always has a steady stream of customers. So one day we decided to drop in to see what all the fuss was about!. Well to start this was probably the best Deli I have ever been in. The food was amazing everybody eating had a smile on there face.When i wasn't smiling I sinking my teeth into a very delicious Hot Pastrami sandwich, nothing but goodness oozed from this offering. other friends were eating Matso Ball soup which was the best they have had! Another couple had the Hot Turkey Sandwich which they exclaimed was awesome! We were so impressed we had to try breakfast which did not disappoint either. The Omelets where on point, they looked better than the pictures. Do not miss a chance to go to Sherman's you will be glad you did!

We went to Grill-a-burger for lunch. The menus are updated and the service remains attentive. I had grilled avocado slices and a great blue cheese burger and my wife had a gluten free burger (including gluten free bun) and fries. The burgers are well prepared. The food was fresh and tasty. Cost was modest for great burgers. We will be back.

My husband and I had an early reservation through Open Table because they were booked. We both had the frog legs appetizer. Delicious. I think our server was Ivan. He was very good. We had excellent Manhattans. We both ordered the filet of sole stuffed with lobster. The portions were huge. One of the best soles we have had. The place filled up around 6 p.m. I ordered the gelato in two flavors. What a treat. We are definitely going back.

I was invited to a 10:30 tour of Brandini Toffee. Paul, a fantastic guide who knows the background of the company, leads tours Monday - Friday. I didn't expect to be amazed at the story of its founding, and the absolutely fantastic products used to make everything, and the quality standards throughout the business. Brandon Weimer first started making toffee at 12 years old. Then, he and Leah Post needed to raise money for a trip to Italy in their sophomore year of high school, and they were astounded at how fast their delicious toffee sold, and that they raised more than they needed to pay their share of their trip (their parents paid for half and they had to pay for the other half). Not the usual story of the beginning of a business--right?
Today their clients include Ralphs Grocery Stores, Costco, Whole Foods, their outlets, on-line, and stores worldwide. The cleanliness of the manufacturing facility shows quality perfection standards. The products used in producing the products are top quality. There is real butter--no oil substitues--, yummy chocolate, and wonderful popcorn with several types of toffee and other things added so that there are several popcorn varieties. The popcorn is made in a machine, but basically, this is a hands-on operation and definitely there are no robots...just hardworking employees. Join the well known stars like Oprah and Martha Stewart who have the products on their "A" lists. You can join the "frequent shopper" list to get points, and rewards.
Once you try the products, you will never want to stop enjoying them, and sharing them with family, friends and clients. I usually have a lot of willpower, BUT, not with the Brandini Toffee products. This is an A+ company that is run with high standards, creativity and love to produce the best toffee products available in the world.
The business and store are in Rancho Mirage, and are in the shopping center across from The River on Bob Hope. Lots of free parking, and 10% off after the tour. This is an award winning company. After our tour, Brandon came to meet us--very unique and wonderful to have the boss come to meet the tourists.

I have heard so much about this burger restaurant and we decided to give it a try. Not only do they have burgers but service breakfast items and sides. We decided on burgers and fries and were amazed. I have never seen so many choices for both burgers and fries~~~ I ordered the The Love Hater. (A Garlic Delight)
Served with extra Roasted Garlic, Grilled Onions, Roasted Red Pepper, and Boursin Cheese. Lettuce, Tomatoes, Pickles Chips, and Garlic Aioli on a Sourdough Bun.
with sweet potato fries and it was melt in the mouth delicious, my husband had the The Godfather. (Sourdough Italian)
Served with Crispy Bacon, fresh Avocado, and Mozzarella Cheese. Lettuce, Tomatoes, Pickles Chips, Pesto and Basil Mayo on a Sourdough Bun. and the 50/50
Half order of fresh Homemade Fries and half order of signature Beer Batter Onion Rings. It was a lot of eating but enjoyed every bite. A little on the pricey side but the quality and quantity is worth it. We'll be back!!!

We were on vacation and ate here with my wife and two teenagers. We love the Cheesecake Factory and this has a very nice atmosphere in a nice location on the river. It was Sunday night at 7:30 and packed, it was a 40 minute wait but that's not the restaurants fault. We're not complainers as restaurant workers have a tough job and the place was absolutely packed but we did not have a good experience. After being seated it took another hour to get our food which was brought out one plate at a time about 10 minutes apart. My order was wrong but we had waited so long at that point it wasn't worth sending back. My sons order was missing the top half of his hamburger bun (??) but they said it would be out in 30 seconds. Ok no big deal. 15 minutes later still nothing so we had to ask for it again. They brought out a cold bun, it must have been taken right out of the fridge. The waitress was indifferent and didn't really care. "yeah, sorry" she said in a monotone voice when we told her. Our appetizer plates were never cleared nor did they return to ask how things were. Very poor service despite how busy they were. We'll go back to the Cheesecake Factory, just not this one.

Our friends from Canada who were visiting the desert took us here. The Schnitzel is authentic and tasty. The portions are very large. The wine is very reasonably priced. The service is fantastic.
I have had my fill of schnitzel lately so I opted for the canneloni, which is a terrific meal of ricotta and spinach. Delicious!
We had a truly wonderful meal, an$D intend to introduce some other friends here next week.

We have dined at Roy’s many times and the service, the food quality and the personnel are simply consistent; always engaging, very knowledgeable and eager to take care of the customer. Randy, the General Manager treats customers like good friends and his #1 team member, Trinidad (Trini) is a really great and attentive team member. The menu is consistently well delivered and the food quality is the best. Roy’s is most assuredly a great place to dine in the desert!
