We booked for New Years & a birthday, and they were so accommodating. We asked for separate checks, no problem. We asked to split appetizers & entrees, no problem (small fee.) The food was absolutely delicious, the ambiance was lovely & festive. So pleased, will definitely return.

Absolutely delightful from start to finish! In Palm Desert the French Rotisserie Cafe is our favorite restaurant that we have to visit anytime when we come for a visit. I had one of the daily specials which was a French Cassoulet with Duck Confit on top and it was absolutely delicious! My husband had a delightful, seafood combination, served in a puff pastry shell and he said it was wonderful. For dessert, we shared a wonderful apple tart with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. The service was impeccable as always, and we’d like to say thank you to everyone for such a lovely evening.

The waiter was very enthusiastic and the food was amazing per usual. We were disappointed that our table was not ready when we arrived when I think I made the reservation weeks ago. I did have a dog, but they didn’t seem to mind. There were plenty of tables outside and we ended up in the corner. A couple after us got a better table right in front of ours.
