A great place for a special dining experience. Beautiful atmosphere inside and out.

Had my 50th birthday dinner here with my family it was very special 💕

Absolutely amazing experience. The food is outstanding. The staff is wonderful.

Pretty good food, decent service, good atmosphere and really reasonable prices for being on El Paseo but if you're looking for top notch elegance it's just lacking a bit. You won't be disappointed but it won't knock your socks off. I would encourage you to give it a try.

By far the BEST Restaurant in Palm Desert in EVERY Category!

This place came highly recommended & I was expecting great steak. My medium-rare tenderloin was cooked more medium + than medium rare. I tried it in 3 different places. Then I called over the waiter who immediately took it back to the kitchen. I heard him announce he needed another steak medium-rare. Instead of a new steak, he then came back with the same steak & told me the chef said it was medium-rare, ie I was wrong! I felt so humiliated, especially as I had raved to our guests about this restaurant! It ruined my meal & my evening! I ate the parts of the steak that weren’t overcooked but without enjoyment. I have never before sent back a steak in any restaurant but I only did it there because I had heard such rave reviews of the steak there. No accommodation was made on the bill, from the waiter or the M’d. We have not returned! That arrogant, haughty attitude forgets that, when dealing with the public, "the client is always right", not the chef!

Went there for my 50th. The front of house staff was lovely, but it went downhill from there. The bartender told us to “hurry up and order” because he had another order coming in. My mom asked for water 3x and he told her she’d have to wait. Once we were seated, the waiter kept trying to tell us what to order for appetizers. I shared that I’m lactose intolerant and he practically rolled his eyes. When our shrimp arrived I asked if there was butter and he said- “of course”… I reminded him that I’m lactose intolerant and he brought me another 2 shrimp that he later charged us for. For dessert, I asked if they had anything dairy free (my family and friends wanted to sing happy birthday) and he said there was nothing dairy free, so he just took a tea light and put it in front of me. He didn’t even offer a fruit plate or something slightly festive. To be clear, the food was incredible- some of the best I’ve ever had, but the poor service definitely impacted our experience and we would never go back, nor would we recommend it to anyone. A very dated mindset that doesn’t fly anymore.

It was Valentines Day. It was also our anniversary. We have been there often and it has become one our best places to have a great dinning experience. But not last night. We had reservations at 7:45. We tried to get something earlier but nothing was available. The food was good, but the waiter seemed to be just getting through the night so he could maybe be with his family. Normally we have had great service, but not tonight. It was very cold and our heaters did not seem to provide enough heat. Very uncomfortable. Champagne was part of the menu but never offered to us.till after the desert. we asked the waiter if champagne was part of the menu and he said sure. Can I bring you some? We had finished our desert. Very poor timing. On a scale of 1-10. Our experience on 2-14-24 was a 5. For us It was supposed to be a very special occasion. Sadly it was not. Ron Shuley

Everything about our dinner was excellent! We got great recommendations about our choices and enjoyed both the white fish special and the rack of lamb.. Our servers were very attentive and helpful, loved it and will definitely come back,

I loved the ambience and our server and support staff. Everything was great until the entre! Ordered the stroganoff and they were out of noodles and gave us spaghetti noodles without telling us and giving us a choice to change our order! So disappointed.☹️

I love this restaurant. And I love June

Wonderful ambience inside, but the patios are truly beautiful. The food was amazing and our server was very friendly and helpful. A true 5 star experience.

Had a very good Christmas Eve dinner!

Always a great experience. Good food and service. Outdoor dining is a must, weather permitting.

Couldn’t ask for a finer display of hospitality and professionalism.

Now THIS how a restaurant SHOULD be! Excellence from the moment you arrive. Fernando our server was top-notch; attentive without being in your face. Atmosphere is 10+/10 and food is excellent. Prices are higher as is corkage fee but not out of line. We have paid comparable pricing at restaurants who are pretending to be “fine dining”. Jillian’s at least lives up to the term fine dining. Thank you Jillian’s for a lovely evening. More of the desert restaurants should learn from you!!
