Chef George's Restaurant — Restaurant in Palm Desert

Saved by the 3-course special and the chicken livers. Don't really think it's worth it to get any of the a la carte dishes, as it is quite expensive and not really great. The pork loin was on the dry side of things and was only palatable with the sauce. Same goes for the beef goulash as the beef was very dry and kinda tough - obviously low quality beef with no marbling whatsoever. I get that it's a stew, but when you're paying $25+ for the dish...

To put it in perspective, the amount of free space available on my plate was about as short as the attention spans of the waitresses. Overall, the food was excellent but the service was...

A surprising find: Located in a nondescript shopping center: Almost hidden, with two entrances, one into a bar and nightclub, the other into a quiet restaurant. This is one of the most unique restaurants to be found in the Coachella Valley. Wonderful Hungarian and International Cuisine, well priced, interesting wines, with friendly warm service. This is a special restaurant due to its unique cuisine and character. Go, eat, drink, and enjoy. And if you want to dance, go through the first door to the bar/nightclub where the same menu is available along with...
