BluEmber at Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa

This Californian-inspired restaurant at Rancho Las Palmas in Rancho Mirage embraces farm fresh ingredients and an onsite herb garden to create seasonal plates that impress diners all year long. The lounge and outdoor patio set an intimate mood for a night in the desert, where you can dine under the stars by the glow of the fire pit with a view of the San Jacinto Mountains in the distance. Start your dinner with a Blucrab Cocktail (jumbo lump crab, avocado, citrus and honey poppy seed emulsion) and a Burrata Salad before digging into more small plates like brie fondue and hamachi crudo. While you're eating, you'll enjoy live music starting at 6 p.m. on most nights. After dinner, feel free to dance the night away.
