    Our favorite restaurant in the desert. We brought friends who had never been there before and they loved it. They can’t wait to come back and try more dishes on the menu.

    The food was excellent and the service was average. This place seems a bit tired and the clientele are ancient. Wait staff hovered near our table and constantly bumped into our chairs without apologizing. We were a group of four seated in the busiest of areas so it felt like rush hour all around us.

    Service was impeccable, from the manager who greeted us and remembered our special request, to our server and busboys. Food was excellent and lived up to French reputation. Very nice open air dining room. All in all a lovely experience.

    We love this restaurant . The food is delicious and prepared perfectly with a lovely presentation. The staff is professional and courteous with attention to every detail but not intrusive. I had the halibut and it was moist with seasoning but not dry . My husband had veal and he said it was delicious. Crepes for dessert are a must. We will return. The ambience is attractive and fun.

    This dinner was to celebrate my wife’s and my wedding anniversary. Everything about our meals were wonderful - service, perfectly mixed drinks, delicious appetizers and entrees, even a surprise celebratory cake. With so many great area restaurants to choose from, we definitely picked a winner with Cafe Des Beaux-Arts
