Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Indian Wells

Our family had the pleasure of dining at Kestrel, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped in, we were enchanted by the restaurant’s ambiance. The stylish yet comfortable decor, paired with breathtaking views, set the tone for an evening of indulgence and delight. The menu at Kestrel is a masterpiece of creativity, with dishes that intrigue and satisfy. To start, I ordered a Medjool Negroni—an innovative twist on the classic cocktail that was as smooth as it was flavorful. The beet salad that followed was generously portioned, easily enough to share, and beautifully presented. For starters, we chose the Crab Hash Brown and Hamachi, both of which were unexpected yet delightful in their flavor profiles. The Hearts of Palm Caesar Salad was a refreshing, modern take on a classic, bursting with vibrant textures and taste. My husband’s prime rib stole the show—it was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, and he declared it among the best in town. Every bite lived up to the high expectations set by the restaurant’s reputation. The service was equally outstanding. A special shoutout to Mo, who ensured our experience was seamless and enjoyable. Their attentiveness and knowledge elevated our evening to a truly memorable one. Kestrel is not just a restaurant; it’s a destination for food lovers. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking an exceptional meal, this is the place to be. We can’t wait to return and explore more of their imaginative offerings!

Super cool indoor and outdoor seating....unique offerings on the menu!

The experience is pretty cool - greeted at valet by security, golf cart ride to more security at an elevator, get to the restaurant level and greeted by more security that escorts you to the Nobu entrance where you are greeted by the entire staff. Then have the most flavorful meal in your life while overlooking Stadium 2 of the Indian Wells Tennis Complex. Everything … mind-blowing perfection!

Excellent all around. Highly recommend Huevos rancheros

We had a fabulous time at the Nest. The food was delicious. Our drinks were amazing and our server Patrick, was fantastic. The nightclub was so much fun and we will come back for another visit.
