What a fantastic restaurant with a diverse menu. We sat on the outside deck for lunch, which has been newly redone. It is roomy, and a great spot to watch cars and people go by. We started with the boom boom shrimp, not too spicy but with a great flavor. We then split the BBQ Chicken Pizza – lots of cheese, chicken and garlic, and cooked to perfection. It was really good. The restaurant was very clean, and our server continually checked on us to make sure we were happy. I look forward to trying other items on the menu!

My boyfriend and I came for dinner, and our server Natalie was very accommodating and attentive with us! The food was amazing. We got the tagliatelle bolognese with the bread (delicious) and the shrimp borracho! Just as we came in for dinner, there was live music about to start! Krystofer was amazing and also took song requests, which was so cool. We had such a great time and will be back again!

Spent good money here, however I will NEVER go back. Came here yesterday 2/12, the Bartender was nice and service was great. Today, 2/13, there was a Bartender change. The guy we had yesterday started us off and then the next Bartender was a older gentleman with brown hair that went down to his shoulders.
1) Never greeted us.
2) Never acknowledged us
3) Never asked my Lady if she wanted another drink as her drink.
Paid my bill, will never return again!

Came here from a few recommendations. The food was alright. We got a pizza (which was the best) some apps and dessert. I probs wouldn’t come again but it was nice still.

Looking for a nice place to dine in between interviews, I would define this place as a hidden gem with exceptional cuisine.
Out of all the mock tails, I would recommend the one that contained Red Bull. I don’t remember the name, but I remember it had red Bull.
Additionally, I would say that I can see parking being challenging when it’s busy, but luckily someone was pulling out as we were arriving.
Lastly, and more importantly, remember to pause as you go throughout your day and practice being present. You’re most likely going to share a drink or a meal with someone, and I would highly suggest you take this as an opportunity to be present with each other. Make it a great evening y’all!

Absolutely amazing and fabulous restaurant. The food is magnificent. I had the best curry that I have ever had in my life. Salads are fresh and delicious. The dessert they make are freshly made delightfully delicious cannoli.
The servers are friendly and fun. The cocktails are top-notch. This is my favorite place in the desert. It’s Number One!
The decor and music are also great. I’m ecstatic with their most wonderfully presented dinner. A must place to eat well, for sure.

Kitchen 86 is one of my favorite local spots in Palm Desert. Open year-round from morning to night, it’s the perfect place whether you’re stopping in for a great meal, meeting for business, or enjoying the nightlife. The atmosphere is inviting and energetic, and ALL THE STAFF (ESPECIALLY MY MORNING CREW ) consistently goes above and beyond, making you feel like family.
To have a local business like Kitchen 86 that I can trust to create a safe and welcoming place to conduct business. In a world that often feels chaotic, having a familiar and dependable environment means everything. The staff is consistently attentive and professional, and I especially appreciate Bartender Jimmy Ramirez for being a steady, familiar face—always watchful, respectful, and attentive to both my needs and those of my guests.
Kitchen 86 sets the standard for what a trusted local restaurant and nightlife destination should be. A must-visit local restaurant with an unbeatable vibe. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Pizza was the best tasting item. The breakfast pizza was good but we could not detect any eggs on it. Crust was crisp hot and fresh. Breakfast scramble was fair and coffee was OK. Many TVs in the outside seating area.

Kitchen 86 is my go-to spot for the best food AND drinks! I brought my family here to celebrate the holidays together and we had wonderful service thanks to Wolfy! He was highly attentive, incredibly knowledgable with the menu + substitutes, and charismatic. All of our dinners came out fresh and delicious, while the drinks were mixed to perfection. I can’t wait to bring my family back for another gathering at Kitchen 86!

Went there for my birthday. Kitchen 86 has the best vegan pizza in the valley. My wife’s steak salad, her favorite dish, was done perfectly. As usual, the service was perfect. This is our go-to restaurant. Highly, highly recommend
