We love the Blue Coyote in Palm Springs, and last hear had a really wonderful meal at Roy's in Rancho Mirage. I'd love to hear about other places -- cost is not the issue, but good food and not having to dress up is! (slacks and a golf shirt ok, jacket or tie, not ok).

P.S. As always, we're staying in Palm Desert, so don't necessarily need to drive all the way into Palm Springs, unless there's a good reason.

My all time favorite is Le Vallauris in Palm Springs..great food, beautiful ambience.

We will ALWAYS drive from Palm Desert to Palm Springs to eat at Johannes. www.johannesrestaurants.com

Picanha is an enjoyable Brazilian Churrascaria in Palm Desert. www.picanharestaurant.com

Both are pretty casual.

Pretty casual.
Pretty expensive.
Pretty apt to stay that way.

Sullivans if you like steak, Pacifica if you like fish, in the Gardens on El Paseo. A bit noisier than Augusta or Jillians in Palm Desert.

We like Roys too, but the one in Maui. Somehow the fish is fresher there LOL

We had an outstanding meal at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.
