    My friends wife and I celebrated our same day birthdays 10 years apart. The Sandbar was the best place I’ve eaten in Coachella valley! Our server Katie was professional and had a great personality! She allowed me to adjust the vegetable serving for my veal Marsala dinner that was fantastic! Other dishes chicken piccata, tomato soup with chopped wedge and bacon/ cheese were great too. Drinks did not disappoint We will be back!

    We have literally NEVER had a bad meal or poor service at Enzo's and we have dined there countless times in the past two years. The food is the best Italian we have had since moving to the desert.

    We had an early dinner at Jackslope Ranch. The food and service were both excellent. Draft Modello beer was cold and frosty. Nice! The waiter let us leisurely visit and enjoy the brew. No rushing us to order. The food was delicious. One person had a rack of baby back ribs. The meal was s huge serving with delicious ranch beans, coleslaw, and more delicious juicy ribs than he could eat. Another had ribs and brisket. Both juicy and delicious. Other BBQ places serve ribs that are dried out and tough. Not these! Both were tender, juicy and with just the right amount of BBQ sauce. I had the Rodeo Burger. Huge! Couldn’t begin to eat it all. Served topped with bacon, Ortega chili, and crispy fried mini onion rings. Along with sweet potato fries. All the food was delicious! We had a leisurely two hour plus dinner and a lovely evening visiting with friends. The noise level was very low which I particularly enjoyed! Jackalope Ranch is back with all the good things the previous owners had plus new additions. It was too cold to sit outside but I know what gorgeous grounds they have and can hardly wait to have dinner in their huge backyard when it warms up a little. It is the ranch/western Gem of Coachella Valley. You must try it!
