California Bistro

Went last night after seeing the Davids tik tok. Was excited to try a new restaurant! Went with three others. Had an outstanding dinner! Very classy dining experience. Beautiful setting. Menu is just large enough to make you ponder what you want as everything looks tasty, but not too big you give up. We ordered a round of drinks that were great. And reasonably priced! Bread and butter was served. We started with the truffle fries. So good! And why was the ketchup extra good! I ordered the blanched pear salad. I’m definitely coming back for that! Delicious Our table got the prime rib special which was tender, the chicken Marsala which was juicy and the sauce was wonderful, the chicken parmigiana which was good but not great. Could use a bit more seasoning. I got the rack of lamb and di

Have been for breakfast and lunch. Both were amazing. Food and service were both top notch. Server Lisa was fun and attentive. The decor is crisp and chandeliers sparkling! Looking forward to dinner this coming evening!

The California Bistro is a fantastic new addition to the Coachella Valley food scene. The space is bright, spacious, and beautifully decorated—be sure to check out the impressive glass-front wine rack! The standout was the French Dip. If you are a fan of Philippe’s in Los Angeles, you have to try the French Dip at the California Bistro. It might actually be much better that The Original French Dip at Philippe's! The beef on the California Bistro's French Dip is thinly sliced with perfectly seared edges that add an incredible "pop" of flavor. Unlike the typical thin au jus, their "dip" is a rich, savory gravy made from beef drippings. It’s a total game-changer. The French Dip comes with “Frites” which I prefer to call American Fries. The American Fries are beer-battered and fried to a pe

Oh boy... We were looking forward to this one, as we heard great things. As the foodies we are, we had great expectations for an excellent dining experience. Walked in through the bar entrance and loved the decoration, and atmospher. Very clean looking decor, great chandeliers, very beautiful. Than, we got to experience the place: The sitting: the 4 of us sat in a table of 4, chairs are comfy and table ok size. But we couldn't move the chairs, because they place oneore table than they should. So it wasn't a comfortable sitting. Service:They were probably understaffed because our server kept coming to tell us hell be right back. It was annoying, specially so when he would say "I'll be back with..." and simply won't.. Before we ordered we had asked him to put an order of Tiramizu in the free

It is not worth the trip. Both Foxy's and Willies are better choices. I am tired of the same old menu popping up everywhere. There is nothing special about this restaurant. The people were nice, helpful and atmosphere was comfortable...a bit bright and something about it strange but comfortable enough. My salmon was nicely prepared and salad was good. It is not worth the price. There were two of us and we each had a salad and entree (nothing to drink) the bill with tip was $140.00 Value was not there. On top of that they charged a $5.00 surcharge for using a credit card. I would rather have them rework their pricing and include that in their overhead. It is not an option to pay with anything other than a credit card now anyway so it is like charging us extra to have the privilege of payin
