the palm springs diner' bible,
By food lover "picky diner" (palm desert, ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Palm Spring Diner's Bible: A Restaurant Guide for Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Bermuda Dunes, Indio, and Desert Hot Springs (Paperback)
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!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Palm Spring Diner's Bible: A Restaurant Guide for Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Bermuda Dunes, Indio, and Desert Hot Springs (Paperback)
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. Bret L. Thompson

If you want to know what's NOT recommended read this book :-),
By Richard Allegra (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Palm Spring Diner's Bible: A Restaurant Guide for Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Bermuda Dunes, Indio, and Desert Hot Springs (Paperback)
I just bought this book (and now see that there's a March 2010 edition - dang) and have gone through it. The author seems to "not recommend" more establishments than he recommends. I guess this can be a good thing, but it seems like there's no place left to eat!
Easy to navigate through the book as it's organized by type of restaurant, with stars and dollar signs so you get a quick overview. He does review a wide variety of places. I'll keep an eye on this and make sure I buy the most recent edition next time.
