- PPaulVIPWisconsin •12 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe booked fairly last minute and could only get a 9PM seating, and the table was not ready when we arrived at 9. We took seats at the bar and had good cocktails. Their sake menu is not extensive, but there were delicious choices; the unfiltered one was great. After about 15 minutes, we were seated. The server (and in fact every staff member who visited the table) was knowledgable and helpful. The food, served family-style, was fantastic; particularly good was the black cod with miso. I loved the eggplant with spicy miso too. The mushroom soup was superb (and enough for 2 people).More infoNobu Indian WellsPrice: Very Expensive• Japanese• Indian Wells•4.7
- BBrandonJackson Hole / Wyoming •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoMy wife and I spent a couple of days in the desert to get away from the hustle of holidays in the city. We live in Vermont now (lived in southern CA for several years) and were craving good sushi. The Venue not only delivered on really good fresh fish, but also on a really nice environment or “vibe”. The happy hour specials are on point.More infoThe Venue Sushi & Spirits RedefinedPrice: Moderate• Sushi• Palm Desert•4.8
- RRobynVIPLos Angeles •12 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI've been going to Mitch’s a while. it's been a great spot to meet girlfriends at the bar have brunch or dinner but one year ago I had my first date with my true love and we are back for our anniversary one year later. Mitch rolled out the red carpet for us and made it a very special night. The food was delicious and the service is always incredible. Its such a special place to us now we highly recommend others making memories here. Thank you, Mitch.More infoMitch's on El Paseo Prime SeafoodPrice: Expensive• Californian• Palm Desert•4.8
- GGailLos Angeles •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWas in town for the holidays and took a friend here for a birthday dinner. Really enjoyed the whole experience. Had a 6:15 reservation and was seated pretty close to on time. Was happy they sat us near the sushi bar, as the noise level in the main dining area was very loud. As a sushi lover I will say the quality of the fish was excellent, very very fresh. Our server was busy as a bee but was very nice and attentive to us. We had ZERO complaints about the evening. Will definitely dine here again next time I'm back in town.More infoOkura Robata Grill and Sushi Bar - La QuintaPrice: Expensive• Sushi• La Quinta•4.7
