La Quinta California Restaurants

Going to La Quinta in a few weekends and looking for a good restaurant that is BYOB friendly. Certainly can drive a little bit, but not really looking to go too far (i.e. Palm Springs). Preferable not a steak house.

We went to a nice Japanese hot pot place in Palm Springs - Shabu-Shabu Zen. Was solid.
Sherman’s deli was pretty good, and gets quite busy.
We also had a nice dinner at Cork Tree in Palm Desert.

I’ve found OpenTable to be quite reliable for restaurants in that area, just remember to change the sort order to Highest Rated. We always stay in Palm Springs so can’t help you on La Quinta.

I go out there a few times a year but more to Rancho Mirage/Palm Desert. I like Mimmo’s in Palm Desert for Old School italian and while they sometimes whine a bit we bring 2 to 3 bottles each time we go. Sherman’s Deli (kosher style) is also my go to for brunch/lunch

I know you said preferably not a steakhouse…but consider the Edge at the Ritz Rancho Mirage. We took wine, no problem
