What a great find! We had a delicious anniversary dinner at Kaiser Grille. We had been referred by some friends we met golfing and decided to give it a try. The ambience was lovely, with cozy booths and tables, a big bar and live singer. We had the Brussel sprouts appetizer and a wedge salad to start. For dinner I had the chicken piccata and my husband had the filet. Everyone was well seasoned and cooked to perfection. For dessert we had a complimentary cheese cake. We’ll definitely go back next time we’re in the desert!

Food was outstanding, as was the service. Prices were a bit pricey but, given the Biden inflation, not unreasonable. We had the swordfish special and the short ribs. Molten Lava Cake & Keoki coffee for desert. Still one of the best restaurants in Coachella Valley.

Be aware - the owner only lets one gift certificate used per table. We were all volunteers from the Amex golf tournament, and were penalized for wanting to dine together. They also charge $50/person for parties of five or more, if one person no shows, and $50/person if you are more than ten minutes late. There were two other tables in the restaurant when we were there, thought these were some pretty hefty rules.

Dear Ms. Aydelotte, Thank you for visiting. Our small local family owned restaurant always tries to support the community with events like this. We do this for free and receive nothing from AMEX in return. We have our agreement posted publicly on our front door & front desk. We noticed that your group read these notices before coming in... I am deeply sorry that you were not able to have a good experience. If you would like to speak more about this, please call. With thanks, Eric Morcus-owner

Quality of the food was great, form appetizers to desert. Service was standard no great, no bad. What really was disappointed is that it was 9:15 pm and the maintenance crew was mopping already the floor! Can they wait at least until the last customer leaves? Very disappointing to see this.

Owner was there. Took us to our table, stayed and spoke with us a min. Mgr. came over for a short talk. Bartender was also our waiter and he is the best. Have known him 18+ yrs. everyone that came in were greeted with warmth and welcoming. Food was excellent. Bourbon short ribs and Citrus BBQ ribs. Great place for Birthdays, Anniversaries and just any old night you want a great meal, great piano and singing with Ms Angie. and friendly waitstaff.

Really good food, especially the steaks. Huge comfortable booths. Friendly & efficient staff. Prices seem a little high, but that's Palm Desert. Save on valet parking by parking 10 feet away in the alley parking lot. Or across the street.

We are so happy to have the Kaiser Grill back again at after the COVID hiatus, better than ever. Lovely white table cloth ambience, music, attentive service and exceptional food. The booths are especially comfortable. I personally prefer seating further into the restaurant, a bit removed from the singer.

What a delightful meal! We arrived a little early for our reservation and we were seated immediately by a sweet soft spoken hostess. Our waiter, Noel is a true professional making our entire evening seamless and perfect. We started with a martini and margarita with an appetizer of calamari…so good! Delicious well-made drinks. There was a singer in the restaurant which created a warm and lovely feel to the room.The ribeye was cooked to perfection and the chicken piccata was yummy. One of the finer meals in our life. Thank you Kaiser Grill and the 2 Noels

My husband always gets the Stuffed Sole, which he loves. The manager recommended the Short Ribs, so I ordered that entree, which was delicious. We ordered the Roasted Brussel Sprouts as a starter, which we have had before. They are always good. I had a Grapefruit Basil martini for the first time. It was refreshing and delicious. It came with a large Basil leaf in the martini. For a basil lover, it was outstanding. The restaurant provides an inviting atmosphere, which we love and something that is lacking in a lot of restaurants port COVID.

The restaurant was very kind in the efforts they made to make us feel special for a birthday celebration but overall the experience was underwhelming. Our nice server seemed frantic the entire evening, darting around and often forgetting drinks/requests in the meantime. The fact that the brussel sprouts hit the table luke warm just a few minutes after ordering the dish, in combination with the undercooked bread and fishy sea bass, led us to believe that many items are frozen and reheated and/or prepared in advance. Serving fresh food should be a given at this price point.
