Eating at Melvyn's

You're Like Family at Riccio's
Specializing in southern and northern Italian cuisine, Riccio's has been in business for over 25 years. Besides the usual cannelloni and eggplant parmigiana, guests dining here will find unique entrees such as sand dabs in piccata sauce, pollo alla romana, and stuffed veal chop with fontina cheese. Start off your meal with a glass of wine from their extensive wine cellar and a plate of jumbo shrimp sautéed in wine, butter, and garlic. For a lighter fare, enjoy a fresh spinach salad that can be wilted right at the table. Save room for desserts such as crème brulee, Italian cheesecake, cappuccino ice cream, and housemade tiramisu.
Relish the View at Spencer's
Situated at the bottom of the San Jacinto Mountains, Spencer's is the place for a first class meal in a casual atmosphere. Diners can either eat inside or outside on the patio. Spencer's also has live piano music to relax with while dining on tuna tartare, lobster potstickers, or wild mushroom ravioli. If you want to come even earlier, that's fine since Spencer's serves breakfast as well. Start your morning with a mimosa or poinsettia while taking pleasure in the taste of a lobster omelet or banana-stuffed french toast.
The Old World Feel of Augusta
If you are into Mediterranean cuisine, then make a short drive to Palm Desert to dine at Augusta. The patio is where you want to be with a gazebo and water fountain. Begin your meal with the BBQ shrimp and cabbage salad or the warm spinach salad with chicken livers. For a heartier lunch, try the lobster or chicken quesadilla, bass fish sandwich with sweet potato fries, or the penne pasta with shrimp and spicy alfredo sauce.
