Sloan’s

Reviewed By gtsheeks

At the hotel's suggestion, we decided to have dinner at Sloan's. Our waitress was Esmeralda and she was WONDERFUL! She seated us quickly, and was so friendly and patience with our questions. We ordered cocktails and fried zucchini which was yummy for an appetizer. For entrees, I ordered the grilled salmon and my husband ordered the baked salmon. Both orders were delicious. The sides were also fresh and tasty. We were so impressed with the quality and abundance of food for such a reasonable price! Plus, Esmeralda was a delight!

If you're trying to get off and back on the highway quickly, it won't happen here even though the restaurant is literally right next to the ramp. The same guy working drive thru was also working the counter. Guess who was served first. Eyeballs won over the voice machine. Even the world's best turkey burger isn't that good.

Things were a bit hectic today. Part of order was missing and no split checks. Some didn't like the chipotle hollandaise sauce but I enjoyed the crab cakes. Ice tea is flavored. Mimosas and bloody Mary's are expensive and nothing special. Stuffed dates are very pricey but love the side salad with dates. There us live music. Have enjoyed it more on other occassions.Hello Ms. Sue, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sorry to hear that part of your order was missing and would like to know if we addressed this issue for you during your visit. With Mother's Day being one of the busiest days of the year, if not the busiest, we do understand that things may sometimes become hectic especially for our kitchen. It is also for this reason that we do not offer separate checks on these busy holidays although we do our best to accomodate this request even for large groups throughout the season. Please note that we do have daily drink specials in which you can get your mimosa at $5 instead of our regular $8 price and 50% off all bottles of wine, etc. We want you to enjoy your visit every single time and would love for you to return soon with a reservation taken by management so that we can make up for your less than excellent experience. Please feel free to call us at 760-775-0902 as we would love to speak to you so that we can make things right.We hope to hear from you soon. Thank you. -A. M.

Six friends at Fantasy Springs Hotel/Casino for a rock concert decided to try their high end restaurant, The Bistro. We loved it and will be back. Service was excellent, ambiance enjoyable and, oh the food! For appetizers we shared baked oysters, sashimi platter, crispy pork belly, shrimp cocktail, then salads of tomatoes and mozzarella, iceberg wedge. Every appetizer dish rocked.For our main courses we shared really great lamb chops, dry aged pork rib, Scottish salmon, and bone-in rib eye, plus sides of gratin potatoes, sauteed asparagus, and sauteed mushrooms and onions.The food was top quality, all cooked to perfection as ordered. We paired all our eats with our own wines and wine service was also first class. So we have a new fav place to eat in the desert.Thank you for the great review!We love making new friends and having them become part of the Bistro family. Next time you are in please let me know so that I may say “Hi”.Terry

Who would have thought that you could get a fantastci Vegan Cheeseburger at a western tavern in Indio??? I am not sure what type of a imitation burger was used, but it was really good. The burger also came with mushrooms and onions. Now if you are coming for a variety of Vegan food, look elsewhere as this is pretty much Tavern fodd but fresh and cooked really well.This is a pretty unique place with the log structure and saddles, yes saddles, that are used for some of the stools. Very friendly atmosphere and our server, Patti, was fantastic!!!

Family Friendly restaurant in North Indio. You'll have to taste our food to know where the name came from. Menu includes gourmet plates, sandwiches, seafood, vegetarian dishes, and an appealing kids menu.

TKB gets a lot of Yelp credit, and they do make a nice deli sandwich.UniQue Bite makes fantastic, scratch sandwiches and provides a much more intimate experience. The staff could not possibly be more friendly and helpful.My personal favorite is the cheese steak with fresh beef, peppers and onion all made after you order. The shrimp sandwich is much the same.This is a great find.

The Fresh Grill Buffet at Fantasy Springs

Reviewed By mrk4th

I usually have low expectations for a buffet, especially one costing $19.99 ($5 more on weekends), which includes your non-alcoholic drink. I was pleasantly surprised. Not a ridiculously large variety, but plenty of fresh fruit and salad fixins was very welcomed. A carve to order turkey and roast beef station was very nice, supported by a pasta station and lots of regional (Mexican, Italian) choices, replenished frequently. Desserts were good, with a massive chocolate fountain as the star. Our server Rosie was great, keeping our soft drinks replenished and finding hot sauce for us. Our used dishes were cleared quickly. This is one of the few buffets that I would recommend.

I’ve pigged out on the barbecue ribs, the scalloped potatoes and the chilies rellanos. Leave room for the ice cream and sorbets.....the lemon is wonderful, the chocolate too. Price includes Pepsi etc.They also serve breakfast buffets, champagne brunch Saturday and Sunday.Lobster is Friday night...pricier.Staff is really friendly, the lights are nicely dimmed and the air is clean...you walk through the casino to get into the restaurant.

My wife and I had breakfast at Pom during a recent stay over at the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio California. This restaurant is clean and airy with plenty of windows looking out at the resorts pool and tall ceilings. They also have a full service, horseshoe-shaped bar. Our breakfast was delicious and served quickly. I can recommend the corned beef hash and eggs. The staff are friendly and attentive. During our next visit to Fantasy Springs, we will definitely have to check out the lunch or dinner offerings.
