• Wine Bar • Palm Desert
Booked 5 times today
Bar seating and ledge-leaning is the rule of thumb -- think Paris tabac or the zinc -- the heat of local life, crowded with regulars at the counter waiting for their vin rouge. Here you'll find our Cave à Manger, an eclectic curation of wines by the glass offered with a menu of small plated savory delicacies created for this tasting smorgasbord. More than an amuse-bouche, less than a serving. Range, variety, exploration and discovery are the point...........................................RESERVATIONS ARE RECOMMENDED BUT, IF YOU DON'T SEE ANY AVAILABILITY, JUST WALK-IN FOR THE NEXT SEAT AVAILABLE.

    What an exceptional experience. Neno was our server, he was fantastic, has a great personality, sense of humour and he is a chef, his knowledge of food tied with his humour made our night. The food was delicious, the portions are very generous. The restaurant was full of conversation, great energy and laughter creating a great vibe for a night out. The two bartenders with 150 years experience have many tales to share, not one bad drink was served. The walls are covered by actors, musicians, and other high profile people who have also enjoyed time here over the years. This is a must if you are visiting Palm Desert, California.
