    As always a real winner. Favorite restaurant in the desert. suburb food. All four of us had excellent cuisine from appetizers, dinners through deserts. We eat out frequently. Our waiter was excellent. Down to even clearing our wine glasses during our appetizer course so we’d have more room. The background music enhanced the evening not like some other restaurants where the musician thinks they are doing a concert. We come back again and again. Wish they had a loyal diner program. Thanks for always exceeding expectations.

    We had an amazing dinner at Wildest, and I can't stop thinking about it! I opted for the Prime Rib special, which came with the most delicious Gruyere gratin potatoes and perfectly cooked green beans — a true comfort food win. I also tried a refreshing hibiscus margarita, which was the perfect balance of tart and sweet. We started with a grilled truffle Caesar salad that had just the right amount of richness and a tomato and burrito salad that was light and flavorful. Everything was prepared with such care, and the flavors were top-notch! Our server, Paige, was absolutely wonderful. She was so thoughtful, attentive, and made our experience even more special. If you're in Palm Desert, Wildest is a must-visit — delicious food, great drinks, and top-tier service!
