Restaurants near Rancho Mirage Plaza Shopping Center

The quality of a dining experience starts at the top. Management always gets blamed when things don’t go right, and management should get the kudos when it all goes well. Eddie V’s success in Palm Desert starts at the top. All the pieces fit: it starts with a friendly greeting, a manager that introduces himself, a service staff that exists to insure you’re comfortable with pace and all liquids refilled without asking. But, as good as all the service expectations being met, the excellence of the food is an equal portion of the experience. When all these elements come together: service, food quality, and the creation of a staff to live up to management’s vision, you are presented with the best dining in the entire Coachella Valley. That is Eddie V’s.

My wife and I came in for Christmas Eve dinner. She ordered the Sea Bass Specoal with a bowl of Hot Carrot soup and ice tea. I had the Turkey Dinner also with Hot Carrot soup. For dessert we shared the Pecan pie a la mode. Everything was delicious.

We live in Palm Springs and rarely venture out to eat. This was our first time eating at Wally's Desert Turtle and we were all very impressed with excellent service/staff members, food offerings, and a terrific wine selection, along with some wonderful cocktail options in addition to the classics. We will definitely be coming back!

Utterly stunning experience. It felt like desert paradise with the vague view of the mountains and blue skies. The subtle live music. The great attention to care on our wine that we brought in. And the food was PERFECTLY executed from a salt, acidity, taste, texture, and aroma. I was so pleased with every single bite. 100% could see myself coming back here for the rest of my life’s trips out here to the desert.

This place is outstanding. The service was impeccable. We ate the beet salad, veal parmigiana and gnocchi. All were delicious. Live piano when we arrived. Loved this place and will dine here again when I return to the desert.
