Restaurants near Indian Wells Tennis Garden

We booked fairly last minute and could only get a 9PM seating, and the table was not ready when we arrived at 9. We took seats at the bar and had good cocktails. Their sake menu is not extensive, but there were delicious choices; the unfiltered one was great. After about 15 minutes, we were seated. The server (and in fact every staff member who visited the table) was knowledgable and helpful. The food, served family-style, was fantastic; particularly good was the black cod with miso. I loved the eggplant with spicy miso too. The mushroom soup was superb (and enough for 2 people).

Was in town for the holidays and took a friend here for a birthday dinner. Really enjoyed the whole experience. Had a 6:15 reservation and was seated pretty close to on time. Was happy they sat us near the sushi bar, as the noise level in the main dining area was very loud. As a sushi lover I will say the quality of the fish was excellent, very very fresh. Our server was busy as a bee but was very nice and attentive to us. We had ZERO complaints about the evening. Will definitely dine here again next time I'm back in town.

As always a real winner. Favorite restaurant in the desert. suburb food. All four of us had excellent cuisine from appetizers, dinners through deserts. We eat out frequently. Our waiter was excellent. Down to even clearing our wine glasses during our appetizer course so we’d have more room. The background music enhanced the evening not like some other restaurants where the musician thinks they are doing a concert. We come back again and again. Wish they had a loyal diner program. Thanks for always exceeding expectations.

La Quinta Cliffhouse offers a dining experience as captivating as its stunning location. The approach to the restaurant sets the tone for the evening—meandering through a beautifully lit pathway surrounded by rugged rock formations and desert flora feels like stepping into a hidden oasis—with a grand water feature. Once inside, the warm ambiance and classy decor only elevate the anticipation for the meal. Starting with appetizers, the calamari was perfectly crispy with a delightful dipping sauce, while the tuna appetizer delivered fresh, bold flavors with an artistic presentation. For mains, the salmon was flawlessly cooked, its buttery texture complemented by mashed potatoes and gravy, and French green beans. The braised ribs were melt-in-your-mouth tender, rich with deep, savory flavors, and the crab pasta was a creamy, indulgent treat, perfectly balancing sweet crab meat with al dente noodles—perfect al dente! Every dish was presented like a work of art, showcasing the chef’s attention to detail. Pairing the meal with a glass of crisp, effervescent Prosecco added a celebratory touch to the evening. La Quinta Cliffhouse delivers not just a meal, but an experience—combining incredible flavors, stunning presentation, and a setting that feels magical. It’s a must-visit for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining adventure.

Our foursome had a lovely Christmas evening dinner on the patio. A set dinner menu with several options for starters, entrees and desserts. All were tasty, delicious and perfectly prepared and presented. Service was very good despite the restaurant being very busy with three seatings for dinner. Sebastian our server was excellent being efficient, personable and attentive. Michelle and Nicholas and the father-son owners, are outstanding long-term restauranteurs.
