    The food here is consistently outstanding. We love the tempura green beans and bacon wrapped dates as appetizers. This time we tried the short rib gnocchi and the potato crusted petrale sole. Both were delicious! The heirloom tomato salad was amazing. My husband has a hard time passing up the meatloaf. Of course, the coconut cream pie for dessert is a must.

    Been wanting to go to this restaurant for along time, As the has been much hype about it friends people I have talked too. Finally I booked a table 6weeks in advance. got to say this wait was not worth the$400 price tag for 4 of us. Table was inside in a room on the back that echoed, felt very cheap in decor, was modern stark feeling and cheap like an after thought. Table was a modern white quartz topwith no table cloth LED light on the table cutlery was ok. Had a very cheap feeling like a cafe. Appetizers: Shrimp cocktail was badly presented. Pot stickers felt very poor quality. And the screwers were on a plate that felt lost, No garnish. Main course Gnocchi was heavy thick sauce like a paste. Did not finish. Meatloaf was excellent. Salmon was excellent. Pork was excellent. Desert needs more creativity with the ice cream. Drinks were good. Don’t think I would go here again.

    Do you want to be in a jolly mood for the Holidays? Do you want to give your family a gift every one will enjoy and praise? Do you want to give yourself a gift where you can say I actually got a great dining experience and a tremendous value? Hurry to Arnold’s during the Holidays. We did last night. The best food and drinks on the most beautiful patio imaginable. Mark was in great form and the service was spectacular! Thanks to Dustin and TEAM for a memorable seasonal night out. We will be back soon!!

    Once again, a dining experience that is truly unmatched. The most friendly and helpful staff from the valets, the hostesses and waitstaff up through the manager. The food was spot on and cooked to perfection. Coupled with the wonderful atmosphere this is truly the gem in the California desert. As a foodie who hails from the NY/NJ metro area, where great restaurants are commonplace, I truly appreciate this spectacular spot!

    Sat on the patio, absolutely beautiful setting. Wonderful guitarist. Great service. I had the chicken marsala and loved it. My husband had the Bolognese and didn’t care for it and my daughter had the fish special and thought it was dry. It was our birthdays and they presented us with beautiful chocolate desserts. Overall, a great experience, but wish the food was a little better.
