Best Restaurants for Groups in Palm Desert

Very nice restaurant, reasonable prices. I love their clam chowder, had two bowls. that and a dinner salad were a full and satisfying meal. My wife had their scallops and polenta. Excellent. Atmosphere nice. The only drawback, they had lots of radiant heaters turned on, the heat was a bit overwhelming. If so much heat bothers you in the outside seating, request a table away from the heat. I'm sure they will accommodate, I will ask next time. Great Location in the Paseo shopping area of Palm Desert, chance to walk around the shops both before and after dinner. A wonderful evening.

This was my first dinner at the restaurant after hearing about it for years when visiting Palm Springs. Usually, I can’t get a reservation, but I did book an advance this time. The food lives up to its reputation with delicious and substantial portions(roasted chicken and branzino). The wine list is great with some inexpensive Italian by the glass. The greeters and waiters were very professional and friendly. I plan to be back every time I come to Palm Springs.

Excellent dinner , the steak was perfectly done. The service was superb . Wonderful festive atmosphere on Thanksgiving day . The only thing we didn’t care for were our side dishes . A bit too oily and definitely way salty . Aside from that our Thanksgiving dinner was really good. Mastro’s is our go-to place !

Went for the Thanksgiving Pre-fix and it was delish! Great menu, big portions and amazing service. Specialty cocktails were fresh and tasty. I love the open feel and decor. Will go back soon for lunch or dinner.

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.
