Best Contemporary European Restaurants in Indian Wells

Food is ALWAYS excellent, this is one of my top favorite restaurants of Palm Springs and I never miss a chance to eat here. Staff is excellent, food is beyond amazing. THE best schnitzel outside of Austria for sure! I wish there was something this good in LA!

This is an exceptional restaurant with a fresh and light approach to delivering excellent French cuisine. The menu rather than being all things to all people focuses on a limited number of options that excel. The key focus is the rotisserie chicken which is exceptional, particularly with the traditional French sauces. However if you want fish or salads you are well provided for. Highly recommend this restaurant, pleasant and refreshing.

I recently had dinner at Willie’s with a group of six, and it was a delightful experience. We enjoyed a well-prepared four-course meal that didn’t disappoint. The food was flavorful and nicely presented, while the service was exceptional—our waiter was attentive and made sure everything went smoothly. The drinks could’ve been a touch stronger, but they were still enjoyable and complemented the meal well. Overall, Willie’s is a fantastic spot to gather with friends and family for a memorable evening. One note: If you plan to dine here, make an effort to dress appropriately—at the very least, in Palm Springs-style attire. I’m all for staying casual and comfortable, but come on, a little effort goes a long way in elevating the ambiance for everyone! Willie’s gets my recommendation, and I look forward to returning!

Our evening at Mimmo’s was fantastic. It was a reunion/celebration, and our waitress could not have been nicer. When we sat down, she took our drink orders. After we were settled, she told us the list of specials( which there were many) and left us to visit. She would occasionally check on us. At one point she asked if we would like appetizers or something else, and we opted for bruschetta and shrimp cocktails (which were one of the specials). We were served and again, left to visit and enjoy our evening. After a while, she returned and asked if we would like something for dinner. We all had some variety of pasta and it was delicious. Finally, after a delicious dinner , dessert was offered. I had “homemade limoncello!” Fantastic! We will definitely return to Mimmo’s. Our waitress (and unfortunately I don’t remember her name) was the best. Very accommodating and was available and helpful. She definitely added to our dining experience.

Always such a delightful experience dining at Jillian’s. The food and service are unsurpassed!! We love going to Jillian’s for a special evening.
