Most pubs rely on the drinks to pay the bills, and food comes as an afterthought. However, at The Village Pub, the menu is extensive, international and delicious. There is a selection of three dozen different salads, as well as burgers, curry and casseroles. Top off a meal with one of their carefully selected micro-brews. Watch sports on one of their twenty TVs, shoot some pool, or enjoy the live music and dancing in the main dining room.
Peaks Restaurant at the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway is like walking in the clouds or rather dining above the clouds. It is the most exclusive dining experience you will ever have at more than 8,500 feet (2590 meters) above sea level surrounded by the resplendent Mount San Jacinto State Park and Wilderness Area. You will feel like you are part of a magical tale, enchanted already by the spectacular views and the delicious cuisine will please a lot of discerning palates. Only fresh, natural and local produces are used in their menu. Their seasonal menu reflects some of the dishes like Hearts of Romaine Caesar, Classic Bacon and Avocado Blue Cheese Burger and Beet and Ricotta Fettuccini. Their full service bar has an impressive wine list as well. So if you are in a mood for something adventurous and different, then Peaks is the place for you. They also are open for private events.
If you're in the mood for a cocktail and a show, head to Vicky's of Santa Fe. Jazz music fills the air almost every night, a great complement to the Southern-style American menu. Dine on classics like grilled pork chop, liver and onions, and macaroni and cheese while taking in the sounds and sights of a fantastic performance. For dessert, definitely check out the homemade apple pie.
