    Absolutely wonderful food and great service! We brought friends from out of town, and they were quite impressed. It was rather loud in the side room, but we expect that with families during the holidays.

    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!

    My wife and I came in for Christmas Eve dinner. She ordered the Sea Bass Specoal with a bowl of Hot Carrot soup and ice tea. I had the Turkey Dinner also with Hot Carrot soup. For dessert we shared the Pecan pie a la mode. Everything was delicious.
