Best Fusion Restaurants in Cathedral City

First impressions - I really wanted to like this restaurant as it is nearby. Made an early reservation and specifically asked NOT to be seated next to the service area. Guess which table I was immediately led to? I was grudgingly moved to another table and seated. Service was excellent but the food was not. The lobster shooter was tiny bits of lobster in a butter-filled shot glass. Meh. The prosciutto and burrata plate would have been good if the prosciutto had not been pre-sliced and sitting on the plate in the cooler for who know’s how long - it was literally glued to the plate and each piece had to be scraped off to eat. The burrata was good but the sticky prosciutto sort of ruined the dish. Several pieces of the accompanying bread were completely burnt on one side and others barely toasted. My final course was the mushroom risotto. It arrived covered in a dried parsley garnish..while this may “look” attractive it does nothing for the taste. Adding dried bits of greenery to a risotto gave it an unpleasant taste and the pieces get stuck in your teeth, something no one appreciates while dining. The taste of the risotto was ok but nothing exceptional. That was my overall impression, ok but nothing that would make me want to return to try other dishes. The place filled up before I left so it’s obviously popular with local diners but I must have missed those dishes. I’m disappointed because it’s very close and would have been a regular dining spot if the food was good.

The whole restaurant smells great just walking in, the table we were seated in was tiny for two people but the place was packed on a Sat night. It seems like this is the norm. Service was mostly fine but sometimes I did have to wait a while to get my servers attention. The menu made me want to order everything in it. Cocktails were great. And once the food came out it was delicious~ I wanted to come back right away. Hope to get a better table next time, prob recommend going on a weekday night instead.

Our Dinner was wonderful! Service was fantastic!

The food and service were excellent. The pulled pork sandwich tasted as if it came out of the kitchen of a Southern BBQ joint. The chocolate pot (for dessert) was superb! If in Palm Springs, would definitely recommend putting this on your dining list.

This was, without a doubt, the most amazing food dining experience of my life
