Best Historic Restaurants in Desert Hot Springs

Great service. Interesting venue and history. Theatrical flaming preparations at table (steak Diane, bananas Foster, cherries jubilee). Great deviled eggs. Perfect for a celebration. Excellent wine list. Seafood comes only with beurre blanc (unless you ask for one of the steak sauces on the side).

Noel’s recommendation of the Burrata Salad was the beginning of an excellent meal. If you are not up for a pasta dish, the Risotto Primavera and Risotto Verde were tasty and perfectly cooked. I recommend the homemade cannoli for dessert. The filling was not too sweet, and the shell was crispy as it should be. Noel, thank you again for your attentiveness and recommendations.

It was absolutely an outstanding meal and the service was unparalleled. We had a waiter called Nicholas and he was the best Waiter we have had in living memory. So gracious never imposing always there when you need him and invisible when you don’t. If I owned a restaurant, I would certainly poach him or at least send my staff to dine there and learn from his polished execution!!

The Staff was great and our server was wonderful. Food was also very good, although I should have just selected one since the portions are quite large. Although we hate the chairs (too hard and uncomfortable), we enjoy eating at the Grand Central.
