Best ocean front restaurant ever! We have been going to the Beachcomber for over 30 years and have never been disappointed. The food is fresh and beautifully cooked, cocktails at sunset are amazing, and hearing the waves is always relaxing. A bit of heaven!

Excellent restaurant. In all aspects. Professional service and all staff. Perfectly prepared food. Outstanding wine list. Som was spot on. One of the most well run restaurants we’ve ever been to. From the young lady host right down to the bus staff. The risotto was cooked perfectly (not an easy thing). The gnocchi were heavenly fluffy pillows. I can’t say enough.

I came here to celebrate myself and the accomplishments in my life. The Chart House is one of my favorite restaurants. Our waiter was Gargamelle; he was very friendly and attentive. He took the time to ensure our needs were met and continued to check in on us. I thank him for his hard work and friendly attitude.

Love mama’s! We try to go every time we’re in Maui and it’s always delicious. Pau Hana is one of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Love the ambience too and staff is always very friendly.

Nice little seafood restaurant right in the heart of El Paseo in downtown Palm Desert. Our server, Sam, was outstanding. Drink menu and wine choices were excellent. Love the starters and the mains, my seafood chowder was perfect.
