    We were visiting the area and looking for a Christmas buffet brunch. Found it at JW Marriott in Palm Desert. Only problem was it was a buffet lunch/dinner. There were no breakfast items to be had; no eggs, pancakes, waffles, sausage, bacon, oatmeal, toast, bagels, salmon (lox), etc. There were crepes, but they were dessert crepes. The assortment of delicacies besides lack of traditional American breakfast food was amazing! Fresh carved meats, sushi bar, pasta bar, seafood tower, baked rolls and the dessert room was amazing. Pricey too! Service was very good. Decor in hotel was welcoming. Just no darn eggs for brunch!

    Elena was one of the best servers I’ve encountered in years. Knowledgeable, and personable. Wedge salad was a welcome twist on what is typically a steakhouse staple. The crispy skin on the roasted chicken is reminiscent of the Union Sq Cafe in NYC which is the best ever. Pricey, but very good restaurants are these days. Good option, especially if you’re staying either at the hotel or the villas.

    For $60 steaks, the food was very underwhelming. We had 6 dads and six daughters, all the dads got grill items and there were just so so. My filet was tough and basically like warm. Service was good, no complaints there but better off going to Morton’s across the street or another restaurant if you’re willing to eat off property.
