    As always, it was a busy night but Mitch takes great pleasure in meeting and seating his guests, something the other restaurants in town should do. The food menu is large and the food is outstanding!

    Repeat customers ... always good food and service. Great menu and additional specials so great variety to choose from. Our table had veal ravioli, veal piccata, chicken parm and sand dabs ... all enjoyed their meals that come with two sides of your choice. Their glazed carrots are wonderful.

    We’ve been coming to Palm Desert for years but this was our first experience at Cafe Des Beaux-Arts. I can easily promise it will NOT be the last for sure. I am so glad we chose to treat our host family here as they were impressed as well. The liver and onions, escargot and veal were truly perfection. A special thanks to Daisy who made the evening even more enjoyable with her excellent service. Can’t wait to return!

    Food was delicious as usual. Two of us had the duck that was cooked to perfection. Two others had liver and sea bass. Both dishes were excellent. The bread and pate brought on our arrival rivals anything I’ve ever had in France. Service was terrific. Highly recommend.
