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.

As always, wonderful ambience and excellent service. My wife had the duck and it was excellent. I had the salmon and it was not up to their normal standards. Somewhat mushy and not memorable. Overall experience was very nice but some food items could have been better especially considering the price.

This place is overpriced & average food. I’ve dined at several restaurants in Palm Desert much better. More expensive than Ruth Chris or Morton’s but food not on same level. Cactus Jacks blows this place away for 2/3 the price. I wouldn’t dine here again.

Couldn’t have asked for a better Christmas Eve dinner experience. Starting with the best up Manhattan I’ve ever had. Service by Moses (good server name for this occasion) was excellent. And then the food. Best lobster crab cakes in the desert and a shared ribeye. Perfection all. So much food we even had take home left overs.
