Palm Desert

About the restaurant

The ancient tradition of the Samurai lives on at Mikado where knife-twirling chefs use fire and steam to create a mouth watering menu of steak, chicken and seafood delights. The highlight of the experience is the dazzling talents of your chef as he expertly chops, juggles, jokes and prepares an incredible meal right before your eyes. While you are led to your table through our private Japanese garden, notice the Koi swimming below and the sound of cascading waterfalls.

Mikado at the JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa is known throughout the Coachella Valley and Southern California as the leader in authentic Teppan-Yaki Dining.

But it doesn’t stop there! East meets West at the ultimate sushi bar where you can relax and enjoy the freshest foods and a signature martini or sake. Celebrate an intimate gathering or a private function up to 140 guests at Mikado where the food is the show! Arigato!

La Quinta

About the restaurant

Before Stuft Pizza gained its reputation as a top restaurant in Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, and La Quinta, Jack and Pat Bertram founded the first Stuft Pizza in Cerritos, California in 1976 after months of recipe experimentation. Starting as a small take-out only pizza joint, its focus on quality led to success. By 1986, it expanded into a franchise, with the Bertram Family operating two unique locations in the Coachella Valley since 2004 and 2014. Featuring expanded menus, full bars, HD TVs, and a welcoming atmosphere, Stuft Pizza remains a beloved family-run establishment, offering delicious pizza and great value for over 45 years. Thank you for being part of the Stuft Pizza family!

We had a very good meal. The salmon tacos were amazing. We enjoyed a nice visit with friends over a leisurely lunch while sitting in the shade of a cabana - how perfect. We must do this again - and more often.

Palm Desert

About the restaurant

We are a gastropub specializing in Cuban and Peruvian flavors. While still adhering to age old family recipes, we strive to be innovative and open minded, just as our ancestors were when these flavors were first imagined. Here at BaBaLoo, we want to take on this multicultural challenge by providing the most authentic dining experience that Lake Havasu City and Palm Desert have to offer. Cuba and Peru are rich in history, and nothing tells that tale better than their diverse flavor combinations. We take ideas from cuisines around the world; Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Caribbean, and African flavors have heavily influenced Cuban and Peruvian food throughout history.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Babaloo Lounge. The food and service were excellent. The ambiance and vibe were cool. And the band was fantastic. Five stars from these first timers from Big Bear. We will be back!
