About the restaurant

El Patio is a family owned and run restaurant. What began as family Sunday brunch, soon led to an effort to share family recipes for everyone to enjoy. Felipes, our sister restaurant, began our journey and inspired our family to share our culture in a larger scale. Join the El Patio familia for some drinks and delicious Guadalajara inspired dishes.

La Quinta

About the restaurant

Before Stuft Pizza gained its reputation as a top restaurant in Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, and La Quinta, Jack and Pat Bertram founded the first Stuft Pizza in Cerritos, California in 1976 after months of recipe experimentation. Starting as a small take-out only pizza joint, its focus on quality led to success. By 1986, it expanded into a franchise, with the Bertram Family operating two unique locations in the Coachella Valley since 2004 and 2014. Featuring expanded menus, full bars, HD TVs, and a welcoming atmosphere, Stuft Pizza remains a beloved family-run establishment, offering delicious pizza and great value for over 45 years. Thank you for being part of the Stuft Pizza family!

About the restaurant

DSRT CLUB! Another creation brought to you by the owners of RD RNNR. In developing a sister restaurant to RD RNNR, we set out to create a social club atmosphere that drew inspiration from the lore of Desert nostalgia. In our journey through the development of the name and design, we came across a true desert classic in The Desert Club. This vintage establishment was built in the late 1930’s and was closed up in the late 1980’s. With the 1940’s and 1950’s marking the major success of The Desert Club, we then envisioned a restaurant that brought back the swanky essence of those years here in the Desert.

With the intent to restore some vintage ADULT dining to the “cove”, our hope is to establish a feeling of upscale classic that is reminiscent of “nostalgic” Desert vibes. We are focused on offering a great feel in ambiance, amazing food and exceptional service all wrapped in a tight bow.

We look forward to dining with you!
