Morgans in the Desert restaurant at La Quinta Resort is the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion in Palm Springs. From the moment we arrived, the service was top-notch, and we were seated promptly since we had a reservation. I couldn’t resist ordering the braised short ribs, which were melt-in-your-mouth delicious. My friends were equally impressed with their steak, sea bass, and pork chops. We also shared some sides & appetizers. The staff went above and beyond to make our birthday celebration memorable, even bringing out two desserts for the birthday person to share with the table. The ambiance was simply stunning – we chose to sit outdoors and enjoyed the warm desert breeze and the beautiful palm trees, which made for a picturesque backdrop. I highly recommend Morgans in the Desert for anyone looking for an great dining experience in Palm Springs.

Morgans is located at the La Quinta Resort and Spa.. when checking in front desk agent made a reservation for us! We arrived at 7:00, seated immediately in a booth. Restaurant is beautiful and menu has many seafood options… our Server(Adam?) was professional and attentive.. Wine list is outstanding! They have indoor and outdoor seating… Our dishes we ordered were all super tasty! Definitely recommend the Chilean Sea-bass it was outstanding! TYSM Morgans! We will be back!

Terrible experience at Morgan’s. After we were seated, the waiter never came by. After 25 minutes, we finally asked if we can have some water (mind you, it was over 100 degrees and we were seated outside). Another 20 minutes later, our waiter was still MIA so my husband finally asked the front desk if they can grab our waiter so we can put in our order as we have already been seated for 45 minutes and haven’t seen our waiter. He finally came by and took our order. The food came out shortly (and it was good) but we had no utensils so we had to ask for that which took a few more minutes. The waiter never came by again. So, after were done with the main course, we waited another 15-20 minutes and finally my husband went to the front desk again to ask for the check. We skipped dessert because the waiter never came by after our main course was over. The whole experience was ruined by the terrible service.

Had a wonderful dinner here. The atmosphere outside was ideal. Our waitress was amazing (Marilynn) and she could not have been any sweeter. The cocktails were on point… Basil Me Down. Incredible martini! For food, we enjoyed the beet salad (fresh), the short ribs (so tender), the scallops (perfectly seared) and the lobster mac n cheese. Our dessert was an anniversary surprise. Very tart yet light. We will certainly return next year during our annual desert vacation.

Established in 1926 this restaurant is located at the La Quinta Resort and Spa. All dishes for party of five were excellent. Top notch service. Great ambiance. There is a bar and lounge with live entertainment. Special mention for side dishes ginger corn, and creamed spinach. Main courses lamb, steak and short ribs were excellent.

LQ Resort is probably one of the best properties in the desert and Morgan’s embodies the desert from a bygone era. Inside, the decor is so rustic and classic.

Amazing food! Everything we had was outstanding! Every dish looked like a work of art. We received fantastic service from Magdalena. Impressive wine list. Gorgeous setting for outdoor dining. Plenty of fire tables and outdoor heaters for cooler nights.

Unfortunately I expected more from a high end restaurant inside of LA Quinta property. The ambience is spectacular and the waiter was not as accommodating as he should have been. I requested asparagus with my Chilean sea bass and was told they didn’t have any,, then I asked for broccolini and was told again they didn’t have any; I had to settle for some spinach in some sauce that I didn’t like at all. The Chilean sea bas was blend and I didn’t eat my food. For such high end pricing I expected flavorful and delicious food, not mediocre. Never will go there again.

I found this wonderful restaurant while searching for nearby steakhouses. I didn’t realize at first that it is inside the La Quinta Resort & Club. It was easy enough to find as it is towards the back of the main large driveway. There was valet parking available, but we were lucky enough to find a spot. We checked in at the front booth and were seated quickly. This was on Valentines weekend and the place was very busy.
