POM is Fantasy Springs Resort Casino's answer to casino cafes. POM features breakfast, lunch and dinner in an atmosphere that's light, airy and modern. Reviewers on Yelp.com give POM 4&1/2 stars out of 5 and for good reason. The food here is of top quality. Chef Freddy Rieger even gets herbs used for cooking and garnish from the garden just outside the restaurant's French doors. The food is inventive yet hearty and the service is friendly and attentive. Patrons can also order cocktails here they won't find anywhere else around Palm Springs. How about a Date Martini or a hand-crafted White Sangria? POM excites your senses and keeps you coming back for more.

    An outstanding restaurant for dinner. I truly enjoyed the crab pasta and my wife and our friend enjoyed their scallop and salmon dishes. The meals are cooked to perfection. The pasta had a nice "bite" to it so you need to like spicy food to enjoy. Being from Texas we love spicy food. Our server Sophia was very professional, personable and attentive. For dessert, the carrot cake is a must. Well worth a visit.

    Everyone is so kind, friendly and make you feel welcome! Javier is the BEST waiter, not that they all don’t deserve the recognition, as I think we have enjoyed them all, but we feel part of Javier’s journey to become a teacher. The food is always consistent and delicious! Top restaurant in the valley!

    Dined on Jan 4, 2025
    My fiancé and I have been fortunate enough to dine at LG’s in La Quinta several times since we started looking for a home in the area since 2020 and more often upon purchasing in Spring of 2021. We have always had a wonderful experience from start to finish and dinner with our friends on Friday 1/3/25 did not disappoint. Our primary server was Estefan (or Estevan/Esteban) and he was very courteous and professional, and proactive as was the other team members who took care of our table. Shared appetizers, salads, entrees, shared sides, shared desserts, and cocktails/wine were all delicious (everyone but me ordered a beef dish and they all raved about how perfectly prepared their steaks & prime rib were; my Chilean sea bass which I order 2 out of 3 times was perfection). One of the couples had only dined at LG’s once and it was with us; the other were newbies, but since they also now have a home near by and based on how much they enjoyed their dining experience, it will be be one of their go to places when they are in the desert just as it has been for us.
