1: Pretty Through Reviews...
Being a local resident of the Coachella Valley (Palm Springs), I found this book to be very accurate on the reviews given. However, I was a little surprised it didn't include some of the well known old-time restaurants (Riccios, Albertos).

2: This Bible left a bad taste in my mouth
Like the actual Bible according to Mark, Luke & John, this `Diner's Bible' is up to the same scrutiny and up to your own interpretation. Don't count on YOU receiving the same service and quality of food as this author. And, do not count out some of the other fine restaurants in the Palm Desert area out! - Like Bing Crosby's in Rancho Mirage. This restaurant deserves a 4 star rating for the food and ambiance, YET, this author does not even include it in his book and then goes off and rates BLEND in La Quinta with a 4 stars and it is not that at all. My husband and I went there to celebrate our special 40th wedding anniversary because we trusted in this Diner's Bible. It was not at all how the author described it. Service was awful with no acknowledgment for our anniversary; the waiter did not know the menu's food or wine and he kept us waiting for over 20 minutes (after the plates were cleared) before we flagged down another waiter to ask for our bill. We spent over $200 for two and would have gotten better service at MacDonald's. Sad for the chef because the food was great but won't go there again and told our friends about the bad service. The bad service left a bad taste in our month.

3: Screw War & Peace...buy this book!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been caught in the desert many times and now will never starve.
Cannot say enough positive things about this text. The only change I would ever dream of making is perhaps including a thermos.

4: the palm springs diner' bible
the most comprehensive guide in the desert, I especially liked the not recommended restaurants. rarely do you see a guide that dares to do that. It is obvious that this book is not advertiser driven and can tell the truth. Excellent!
