A word from TWENTY6

Focusing on the American Classics, a step into Twenty6 is like a step back in time. Reminiscent of an American Classic Grill, this Palm Springs area restaurant upholds its prestige and distinction by serving "real" food, such as a variety of fresh takes on Eggs Benedict for breakfast, BLTs and Hand… Formed Burgers for lunch. Try a Filet Oscar for dinner, using the best and freshest product in season. Whether dining for business, romance or with family, Twenty6 provides a memorable experience for all. Continued

Diner Reviews

"This has become a favorite Sunday spot, for all the usual reasons (food, ambience, etc.) but the service sets Twenty6 apart more than anything else. I hope I've remembered names correctly from fleeting glimpses of name-tags, but Paulette, Juan (?) and Alejandra are real standouts. They take their jobs seriously and obviously know how to connect with their customers. The manager (Eric?) has assembled quite an amazing team and the service is exemplary from start to finish. It takes a lot to impress me in this area (alas, service standards have slipped many places) but this place sets the bar high. (The food is terrific, too!)"

"This is a beautiful outdoor lunch spot with excellent service. We thought the prices for food were excessive. Be prepared to pay $18.00 for a burger & fries...cheapest price for not-very-good wine was $11.00 a glass..."

"I've eaten at 26 every time I vacation in La Quinta for both lunch and/or dinner. The food is always delicious and the service is very attentive. I highly recommend their fries as a guilty pleasure! This time I had children with me and they enjoyed being able to sit outside at night, wander around and look at the amazing landscape surrounding the resort and restaurant. I enjoyed the filet for dinner which was prepared perfectly and my daughters ate off the children's menu. One had the spaghetti which was great and my picky eater ordered a grilled cheese which I would not order again. Basically it was just 3 pieces of stacked toast with a tiny bit of cheese. However overall this restaurant is one of my favs and I will continue to come back!"

"Had reservations, seated quickly, but waited an hour after ordering for food to be delivered. The menu is boring, all the same food you find everywhere else in the desert. The Waldorf needs to update its menu with more fresh vegetables and creative food choices and presentation. The historical hotel setting deserves better attention to what's being served in its restaurants."

"My family enjoys venturing over to La Quinta resort from our home in PGA West, but we rarely dine there. We had the opportunity to do so at TWENTY6 twice recently and were extremely pleased with the experience. The casual bar scene and pub fare was fun and the wait staff was outstanding. Attention was paid to every "customer service" detail. We definitely have a new neighborhood hang out!"

"Not what we expected at a Waldorf Astoria resort. Way too casual, noisy....but the food was good. Too casual. More like a golf pub for golfers."

"Service was slow. Food was expensive vs. quality. French onion soup for $10?!?"
Dined on 1/2/2014
"My wife and I had a great time. Food was excellent. My wife was thrilled with the fried chicken. We retired to the bar for after dinner drinks and that made the evening even better. Two managers stopped by our table to check us out. Bryan the bartender is truly entertaining."

"This "on campus" restaurant is good enough to visit even if you are NOT staying at La Quinta Resort. The breakfast/brunch is second to none, not only with quantity as any buffet brunch might have, but the quality! It's all cooked to perfection, especially the cinnamon french toast pudding! OMG! I found the service excessively friendly and eager...and efficient The outdoor seating area is so lovely, and well proportioned. . I loved it!"

"The ribs were amazing. Best I've ever had. I hope I can come back some day. Just incredible.!"

"Twenty6 lives inside a resort and charges resort prices. So the value minded should look elsewhere. However, if you are there, the food is pretty good. They try hard to perk up traditional fair, but go too far in some cases. From too many peppers on the flat bread to a chicken sandwich that was so tall you couldn't take a bit of it, they over do it a bit too much. The garlic tater tots hit the mark, the side salad was better than expected. But the thing to keep in mind is that this is the place you take the kids when staying in the resort."

"Had reservations for Christmas Day, the place was busy, but missed out on the Brunch because they close brunch at Noon (usually, 11:30am) - 2 of our family members arrived about 15 too Noon...so... :( Service was great, our server was kind, notified his manager about any of our concerns, but when he went on break, he just disappeared. We were finished by someone else. The food was mediocre, nothing was outstanding, had the Caprese pizza and the French Onion soup. The guys had the BLT, tasted like it should or I would have heard about it. Overall, the ambiance was what held the place together and would love to come back for the benes."
Dined on 12/25/2013
"Service seemed well intentioned but overall poor. Entrees arrived while we were 1/2 through appetizers. Prime rib dinner from Christmas menu came rare for one of us. Asked for medium and waiter brought back 'new' piece that came back well done... Actually looked like same piece had been put in microwave oven. We said this is well done not medium and he said try it first... When it's greyish brown you don't need to try it. Vegetables with steaks were luke warm at best and quite a bit if food was left on plates. Very mediocre Christmas meal, especially for the price - won't go back to twenty6, and wouldn't recommend it based on our experience."
Dined on 12/25/2013
"It look too long for our food to arrive and when it did, one order was missing because they had burned it and had to remake it. The waiter was just okay."
Dined on 12/23/2013
"The Twenty6 Restaurant is part of the La Quinta Resort, which in itself is a beautiful spot, I have been there before and loved it, I would recomment Twenty6 and the La Quinta Resort for locals and visitors to our beautiful valley."

"We had a very nice lunch. Service was great. Staff were attentive and friendly. My Cobb salad was greasy and uninteresting. I had to trade out the cheeses due to allergy but there was no nice color or good crunch and very little acid- quite oily. I had to ask for a bread/cracker. My guest loved her burger with melted chees on rye. Her birthday cake and accompanying birthday song by staff was delightful and really tickled her! Few places do that anymore. Keep it up! Over all, it was a good experience - just not a culinary memory."

"Our group of eight was seated promptly at our reserved time. Our waitress was very capable. The food was served in a timely manner. It had great eye and taste appeal. Even our request for eight separate tickets was handled with kindness. We enjoyed our dinner experience."

"The place looked nice, the service was xlnt, the ambiance about perfect. But, surprisingly, the food was really disappointing. Two ordered French Dips and both said it was one of the blandest/worst FD they've ever had. ANother ordered spaghetti and asked to make sure it was al dente/not mushy. Well, it arrived and was mushy. Server was nice and offered to re-do but was too far into the meal by then. My chicken sandwich was very good and the fries in a tin can were fun and tasty.They gave us very nice and delicious ice cream pops for being Open Table customers, but was hard to overlook the three mediocre meals. Sorry."

"Plain family food in a no frills plain dining room. Cold impersonal decor."
Dined on 11/28/2013
"The food was very good as we had two different salads, the hamburger, and the tomato soup and grilled cheese. The bacon Bloody Mary was excellent and my wife's favorite. The service was also very good. They were very nice to help us celebrate my wife's birthday by giving her a piece of cake with a candle and the rest of us received chocolates covered ice cream pops. Thank you for making my wife's birthday so nice."

"We have eaten at Twenty6 before and had somewhat erratic but not too bad. This meal was a disaster. They seated us immediately and then ignored us. We finally ordered. We were served two of three salads and also they 'lost' the appetizer order (at that point we said forget it). After the two tables to either side had been served (who had come much later than us), we finally caught the server's eye and he said our food would be out soon.The food showed up about an hour and half after we sat down. Server error or kitchen problems, the experience was poor. We went back for breakfast the next day (no choice since we are staying at La Quinta) and everything was excellent. Now we don't know whether to try dinner again."

"Check out the "TV Dinner Menu" - phenomenal! The Chicken TV Dinner is delicious! The Prime Rib on Saturday night is spectacular!"
Dined on 11/9/2013
"If you love the exceptional ambiance of the La Quinta Resort but are looking for something more casual and affordable than Morgan's (which is awesome), Twenty6 is a great option. The TV Dinner special is great fun, and their wine specials make a nice evening out even more affordable."

"We had a wonderful sunset dinner on the patio. It was bit cool an they put 2 heaters perfect by our table. Had the wed special chicken kabob with curry rice an a citrus vinegarette that complimented very well. With the outside ambiance we felt we were on vacation. Eric the manager always says hello makes us feel like family."
Dined on 10/31/2013
"We dined at Twenty6 for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and all three meals were fantastic. The breakfast buffet was particularly great, with a large selection of fresh and delicious breakfast items. The eggs benedict menu was also terrific, and the two we tried were wonderful. Also, the Bacon Bloody Mary shouldn't be missed! The wait staff at all times was attentive, helpful and very friendly. And eating out on the patio provided a lovely atmosphere."

"Three of our group of four had the prime rib special. Thick cut, very tasty. Grant was our server, excellent service, very attentive. I'd always ask for one of Grant's tables. The manager came to our table to make sure we were happy with dinner. Then the chef did the same. Great dining experience."

"We were at the hotel and had eaten breakfast here, decided to go back for dinner the food was so good. Our waitress was amazing and recommended the salmon and the mandarin chicken salad for dinner, both were excellent. She even brought out ice cream lollipops from the chef for dessert. I highly recommend the salmon dish. Great job all round."
Dined on 9/27/2013
"So glad we picked this spot over the pretentious steakhouse on property. Salmon was the best my husband has ever had. Great wine list and nice romantic candlelit dinner. We can't wait to make a return trip!"

"While I realize that it is currently the off season, I believe that this restaurant is better during the hustle and bustle of the high season. The food was acceptable but nothing to rave about. The last time I ate at this place was in December and the restaurant was packed while this time there were only a handful of patrons. Based on my last visit, I could not recommend Twenty6 to any of my friends. I expected more from the La Quinta Resort."
Dined on 9/8/2013
"Food was very good. Give the hanger steak and tator tots a try. It was recommended and definitely the best. Service was very good."
Dined on 9/1/2013
"they did not recognize our reservation when we got there. they chose o seat us after a brief wait but then attempted to put us at a very, very small table in the passage way. i objected so they offered us another table. I pointed out that there were at least ten large tables including 4 booths vacant. she said that they were for people who made reservations. I said i had a reservation, oh in that case she sat us in one of the booths. After being seated 5 mins or so, another (i think supervisor) came over and asked us what our name was and questioning whether we had a reservation. We told her , she walked away and never came back. Unfriendly and snobish!"
Dined on 9/2/2013
"Would be remiss if I failed to thank and commend Ms. Alexandra for facilitating a great dining experience. As per our previous visit entire staff is attentive, courteous and friendly. We shall return"
Dined on 9/2/2013
"We invited our friends who have never came here before. They enjoyed themselves very much. Of course our waitress Alex was on top of things and the chef came out and brought us some delicious sweet potato tater totes to die for. Our guests had the TV dinner which they both loved and it brought back some memories for them. We love using open table and being treated VIP. Twenty6 is our favorite restaurant."

"The filet was wonderful. Asked to cook it medium well and it was cooked to perfection. We ordered drinks and I had a lemon drop, it was the best I had in years. For desert I had the upside down pineapple cake and it was awesome!"
Dined on 8/23/2013
"we had such delightful service by Natalia & Esteban that evening, the restaurant was rather quiet so they were both able to pay special attention to our table. Food was good, we split the mandarin asian salad & the spinach artichoke fettuccin. Would recommend to others"
Dined on 8/22/2013
"We had the shrimp, salmon and the hanging steak. Our server, Grant, explained the menu and our choices very well. All three of us loved our choices. Grant was also able to recommend some beers that we really liked. The hanging steak came with garlic tater tots that were outstanding, don't miss them!! The service was great. The food was great. We really enjoyed the meal. We couldn't decide on dessert so Grant brought us a couple of choices he recommended and we really enjoyed them too. We will be back soon. This place will make you want eat out more often."
