Food was pretty meh. It was Valentine’s Day so a fixed menu. We were not impressed. They were already out of the Filet and Lobster tail special by 8pm when we arrived. Ribeye was extremely fatty and grisly. Duck was okay but just okay. Escargot was NOT very good. Extremely overpriced considering the quality. Would not return.

A terrific Valentines's day menu with many French cuisine options along with a variety of food choices. The service (Jose) was 5-star and he food, the presentation and the timeliness of service were stellar. We had a wonderful table in the main dining area that enhanced an already-wonderful experience. Delicious and perfectly prepared dishes. Highly recommended!

Always a perfect meal. The onion soup gratinée is one of the best anywhere ( including France). Coquille St Jacques (scallops) was excellent. The branzino specials was also very good. Service is excellent

I have dined at Cafe Beaux Arts for 20 years! It has always been an outstanding experience from the service to the food & staff! We are down in the desert a few times a year and never miss dining there! Bill & his staff are to be commended for reasonable prices and the quality of their food! Always a great experience!
