Citrus & Palm Restaurant at Miramonte Resort and Spa in Indian Wells brings a polished but relaxed SoCal dining experience to the desert. The menu focuses on fresh, health-conscious California cuisine spanning breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with dishes that strike a nice balance between nourishing and satisfying. The setting is refined without being stuffy, making it a comfortable choice for a special meal or a casual bite.

Dog owners will appreciate that Citrus & Palm welcomes dogs in its outdoor dining area. The resort grounds provide a beautiful backdrop for your meal — think manicured gardens, mountain views, and the kind of quiet atmosphere that makes the desert so appealing. Your dog can relax beside your table while you work through the menu, and the staff is accustomed to canine visitors, treating them as welcome guests rather than an inconvenience. The surrounding landscape of the Coachella Valley feels genuinely peaceful here, especially compared to busier desert towns nearby.

The food draws on Southern California’s produce-driven culinary style. Expect seasonal ingredients, creative preparations, and options that cater to a range of dietary preferences. Breakfast offerings make it a strong option for a morning outing with your pup, and dinner service takes on a more polished feel as the sun sets over the Santa Rosa Mountains. The pace is relaxed, the service is attentive, and the overall experience feels like a treat without the pretension that sometimes comes with resort dining.

Indian Wells itself is one of the quieter cities in the Coachella Valley, and Citrus & Palm fits that character well. For dog owners staying in or passing through the area, it’s one of the more upscale dog-friendly dining options in the valley. The restaurant is located within Miramonte Resort, which is itself worth exploring for its grounds and atmosphere. If you’re looking for a dog-friendly meal that feels a step above the usual patio dining experience, this is a strong pick. The resort also has walking paths on its grounds if you want to stretch your dog’s legs before or after eating.
