    Always a nice experience. Prices are reasonable for a French restaurant on El Paseo. The menu offers an interesting variety and the service has always been great. Their bar is cozy and has a nice menu of small plates. The location on a corner gives a wonderful open feeling, even in winter when the walls are up. What more could you ask for?

    The service was great and everyone is very pleasant and kind. The ambiance feels very authentic to a French cafe and I appreciated the coziness that comes with 30 years of business. I was disappointed that my Shrimp Crepes came out very fast and very cold. They addressed it quickly and reheated my food but it’s clear they prepare things in advance and then just heat it up to try to move tables quickly.

    The food was just “OK”. Definitely not worth the price they charge. The waiter was rude and sarcastic. The ambiance was old and tired.

    We were passing through Palm Desert on Christmas Eve and were able to secure a reservation at Cafe Des Beauz-Arts…and were not disappointed. The servers were very attentive and upbeat (despite having to work on Christmas Eve!). I had the Sand Dabs Picatto and the flavors were wonderful…although maybe a little too fishy tasting. Beet Salad and French Onion soup were delectable. A non-alcoholic wine/mocktail selection would have been nice. Raspberry crème brule and cappuccinos were perfect endings to the meal!

    We had a lovely evening made even better by our server, Jose. The food was expertly prepared. Love the traditional French dishes. The Lake Superior White fish was delicious as was the Asian salad. Escargots and Tart Tatin were perfection. We will be back!
