Workshop Kitchen & Bar

What an amazing experience!! Every detail was thoughtfully executed. Our party had a dairy & gluten allergy and our waiter Jeff was impeccable with his knowledge and helpful advice. Our wine was amazing and each dish, we were excited to share only one bite with each other! Dessert was delish and the after dinner drinks were wonderful. If I could give 6 stars I would!!! Thank you Jeff … until next time!! xoxo

Our family of four went here. Our 12 year old is gluten intolerant. The food was amazing and nearly the whole menu could be made gluten free. The highlights were the cabbage main and the cold pea soup. Both wee unique and delicious. The only downside is that the kitchen is small and the food takes a while to- expect to spend 90 minutes getting appetizers and dinner. Worth it though!

Over the years I've looked to Workshop as a special dining experience, and they've never failed to deliver. The indoor dining room is my preference, with brutalist-like cement partitions and tables, uniform modern lighting, and crisp white walls, but dining in an outdoor patio under a canopy of warmly lit trees is lovely too. They smartly have plenty of outdoor heaters for cool desert nights if al fresco is your preference. The menu is always thoughtful and creative, with many different options, without feeling the kitchen is overextending itself for the sake of variety. All the front of house staff are professional and welcoming, without the sense that they aren't being genuinely themselves. The waitstaff are considerate and knowledgeable about food restrictions (for me my experience is with gluten free), and service is quick and efficient without any sense of feeling rushed. The bar feels intimate but not crowded, and the drink menu is clever without the slightest hint of gimmick. I've heard other bartenders at high-end cocktail lounges in the city speak highly of the person in charge of the bar as well, which for me holds much merit. This is the only restaurant in the Coachella Valley that I'd recommend without any reservations (as in having a doubt; definitely make a reservation well in advance).
