Cork Tree Restaurant is built around California products. Local ingredients are used whenever possible and wines of the West Coast, particularly California, are featured.

The wine list is always a work in progress, with a balance of well known wineries, as well as boutique wineries.

Cork Tree enhabits a style rich in California elegance. Large and round booths privately encased in wood and fabric provide intimate spaces for conversation and romance, while providing views of the understated glamour of the dining room. Beautiful Palm Trees and a natural cascading fountain make the Cork Tree Patio wind-protected and well-appointed for dining under the stars. Additionally, depending on the size of your celebration, two private dining options await.

This place was fabulous. My husband had the filet and he couldn’t stop talking about the sauce on his mashed potatoes. I had scallops and that dish was also wonderful. Me and my husband both enjoyed a mini beet salad. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

Have had dinner on my birthday here for the past three years. The ribeye and filet were excellent. Our friend had to send his filet back to be reheated as it was a bit cold. This was taken care of and the table was given a free dessert in addition to my free birthday dessert. The portions were large and the flavors were delicious. Excellent meal.

The Chilean Sea Bass was perfectly cooked and delicious. The Cork Tree is our "go to" restaurant whenever we are in Palm Desert.

I always eat at the bar and the food and Service are impeccable but tonight we ate in the restaurant side and everything was wrong., I had the seafood linguine and it was chunky with carrots and a thick sauce instead of a white wine bur Blanc, the shrimp was grilled/burned and the scallop was overcooked. Both my friends dishes were dry and chicken, smoky and grilled overcooked. So disappointed because it’s usually so very good. We asked for a wedge salad to share without bacon and it arrived with bacon, they fixed it, but then they never came back for black pepper. The manager addressed my friends plate, but the waiter was indifferent to even asking us for a second round of drinks or asking us how everything was. I will not eat in their dining room again.. I am concierge at Westin Desert Willow and have been referring guests but after tonight I will think again. I will stick to the bar service and bar menu which was heads and tails much better.So disappointed ☹️
