    The pumpkin soup was outstanding. Also the scallops on the half shell were beautifully prepared and tasted great. The shrimp pasta was excellent. The servers were a little over tasked and stretched thin tonight.

    Enjoyed our last evening in Palm Desert by dining at one of your favorite restaurants. Never been disappointed at Sullivan's for lunch or dinner. Even though we arrived early for our reservation, we were promptly seated. The $51 three-course dinner is a real bargain and very enjoyable.

    Excellent in every way! We ate on the patio in a very comfortable booth. There was live guitar music at a perfect volume. My husband and I were able to hold a conversation. The weather was great. The food and service was AMAZING! A wonderful comfortable & relaxing atmosphere completed the package. We will definitely come again. We had crab cakes to start. They were the best we’ve ever had. My salmon crusted pistachio salad was fresh & flavorful. My husband loved his tacos. We were celebrating our anniversary and they brought us an amazing chocolate cake. We highly recommend the restaurant. You won’t be disappointed.

    I brought my husband for his birthday. We had received a gift card and so this our first time. I made reservations for 6:30 pm, I was surprised how busy it was for a Monday night. We had to wait about 15 minutes before getting seated, even with a reservation! But once we were seated we were waited on. Our server Natalie was great! She was very friendly and checked in on us several times making sure we were enjoying our meal. There was live entertainment. They even sang happy birthday for my husband. Our meal was delicious! !! The portions were plentiful! My husband received a happy birthday plate with several deserts . We are planning on coming back again for my birthday!!
