Vicky's of Santa Fe

This place does it all very well. There's 3 types of areas to sit in - The piano bar, the bar, and the restaurant. This gives you atmosphere choices to fit your taste. The drinks are well balanced and excellent. The table bread is just right, the service is great, and all of the foods I've tried have been excellent. I have had the veggie stack, the potatoes au gratin, and an absolute chonkasaurus twice-baked potato. My group has widely sampled and everyone agrees the menu is very well prepared. Posting a picture of the veggie stack and the (literally) dinner plate sized twice baked potato. Both were well above expectations, but the veggie stack was the best!

I have been here several times before always good but tonight the food was outstanding. Perfect temperature hot, the steak was seared right on spot, thick viscous peppercorn sauce and little bit too much potato gratin. Thank you.

We had an absolute best time here at Vicky's and strongly recommend it. Great vibe, service, food, music, people, all combine to being one of the best nights to spend here in Coachella Valley. And the jazz! There are not a lot of places with a grand piano and the acoustics is amazing! We like to thank the staff and Slim Man Band for a very entertaining evening to remember. We can't wait for the next time!

Very interesting atmosphere, it's very outgoing on one end of the restaurant and the other end seems calmer. The lounge is great, they have live music and a dance floor. Don't be surprised seeing wine drunk older ladies busting a move. The drinks are very well made and the food is spectacular. It is an experience, but I probably wouldn't go back just because it's pricey for what they give you.

It is so great that they accept reservations in the lounge now. The food was exceptional, the drinks great, the music on Saturday night and was my birthday as well. But what made the night special was our server ELENA she stood out with her smile, her attention to every detail and professionalism we will be back and look to sit in her section again

Went out to dinner with another couple to Vicky's of Santa Fe for the first time and had an all around great experience. We had a 6 PM reservation and though the place was packed, our table was reserved and it was not overbooked. The bar was packed and so was the restaurant. We were thankfully seated in a corner so we could hear each other above the din, especially since my husband wears hearing aids and the ambient noise makes it extra difficult to hear. We enjoyed the steamed artichoke and fried calamari appetizers and the cuts of steak were quite massive and delicious! The bill was $150 per couple and only our friends had wine (1 glass). The valet was complimentary and the piano player added great background light jazz music. We would definitely return to this chic restaurant that has a relaxed vibe.

So we went on a Monday and this was the band and they’re absolutely fantastic. Our server was also excellent and our meal was good. Drinks were a bit burned but overall a super fun evening and I would highly recommend. If you’re there for the musics request the lounge and go ahead and get am early reservation - like 5:30:)

We had a blast there last nite. Band was fantastic—- including amazing Parisian on fiddle!! Food, service, atmosphere all 5⭐️

Eric Loskot

Can't believe we've lived here this long, and not made it to this real gem! Beautiful atmosphere. Exceptional food. And what an incredibly attentive, and caring service staff! Cindee was amazing. She really went the extra mile! We'll be back to see her for sure! We had the BLT wedge, their house onion and tomato salad (yum,!) & The shrimp cocktail. -All fabulous starters. Halibut special, Rigatoni, and Lobster ravioli. All incredible. Great cocktails as well. Thanks again. We'll be back soon.

We for some reason haven't been here for years. So we went on Wednesday night. The restaurant and bar were very busy as we sat down. Our server came up and welcomed us and took our cocktail order, to our friend Toms surprise they had a appletini which he loves. I ordered the chopped tomato and onion with blue cheese and the steak burger. Tom had the lambchops and Jim the Fried chicken special. My said to be honest wasn't that great. The onions were over marinated and translucent which means they have been sitting in a dressing for too long. I just ate the tomatoes and the blue cheese. Entrees arrived and my burger looked fantastic. It was suppose to have fontana cheese but for some reason it had cheddar, also it had grilled onion which I'm not a fan. However it was a very tasty Burger and I would order it again! Tome Lamb Chops were excellent a was Jims Fried chicken. The side of Au gratin were also very very good. Huge portions and large cocktails we will defiantly come back We had a very nice experience here

I had the chicken pot pie and it was fantastic. The Richard Turner Jr. Quartet was playing and they were really great. Did I mention that the service was also fabulous!

Alan Sherin

Wow! Just wow! This is definitive Palm Springs lifestyle. But it’s in ritzy INDIAN WELLS. Great live music. Great Service. Terrific vibe Fair prices and a guaranteed great experience for all. The simple menu offers something for everyone! That chicken pot pie is the bomb! My absolute favorite restaurant in the desert. Come often and be sure to tip the band!

Fun experience. Live music. Chill spot with an older vibe. The music will let you remeness the past while the food and drinks will make you great full for the present.

If you are looking for great food with World class music in an inviting and comfortable atmosphere, you need to try Vickys of Santa Fe any night of the week. There stage in the lounge is a modern upgrade and highlights the musicians. Last night Thursday is Richard Turner Jr Mr 88 Fingers. Incredible jazz trio. A must for night life and food combined! John Stanley King band on the weekends rocks til 11pm! Thank you Vickys staff and owners f0r providing this very special and one of a kind space.

Visiting here from the East Coast where music in a restaurant has gone away for good. So I had heard Vicky's had great meals and a piano bar I wanted in. Everyone's meal looked delicious and was mouthing. From the prime rib, chicken pot pie or light eaters of salads. The service was amazing..ordered take food arrived and as attentive as they were they weren't in the way understated. I had made reservations online which was easy peasy...arrived on time, table was ready front and center. Now as for the music. First the volume was perfect you could enjoy the music and still have a conversation all while enjoying your dinner. Much to my enjoyment folks actually got up and dance... I'm as old as the men there, makes me thirty years older than most of the women it's a place for all ages to go relax if the mood hits you ask her to dance.

My siblings gathered from all points across the U.S. to celebrate my brother’s milestone birthday. Vicki’s staff and food was five stars all the way. Early preparations needed to be made for custom cake to delivered with Susie who was so helpful and kind. She understood the importance of the night for our family and I appreciated her professionalism. Carey took care of our table last night with impeccable grace, friendliness, and attentiveness. The menu offers wonderful choices for everyone and every choice was delicious! Vick’s of Sante Fe was fantastic! Thank you one and all.

The food was tasty. Large portions. The food was served to the entire table almost at once so everyone could eat together. The music was wonderful. But the wait staff was nowhere to be found to order drinks throughout the show. It was quite busy, but it was a bit disappointing. Overall, outstanding dining experience.

Fun place, pretty good music and atmosphere. A little too loud for conversation most of the time but an interesting place to eat. The food is above average and service is helpful & prompt. Plenty of parking, you can valet.

One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at a restaurant. I’ll start with the positive- the band was incredible. I definitely recommend sitting in the lounge for the live music. Unfortunately, that’s the end of the highlights. Service was beyond terrible. I’m shocked that a manager never came over, as the meal was a total disaster. Where to start? How about that they brought our entrees (rotisserie chicken and mac and cheese) before they brought the salads/appetizers. When I mentioned that we were still waiting for our salads, they took the entrees away and brought our salads (crazy overdressed). While we were eating the salad, the server again brought the entrees and asked if we wanted them. We said we were finishing the salads and to bring them later. It was a Saturday night and we weren’t in a rush. Half a hour later they brought the entrees they warned us that the plates were hot - restaurant speak for the fact that they were sitting under the heat lamp for a while. I asked if it was the same meal as had been brought twice previously and the server admitted it was. How can food possibly taste fresh after sitting under a heat lamp for more than 30 minutes? Everything was completely dried out and terrible. They left the mac and cheese side and brought new entrees. Mac and cheese was also from original service and was dried and gross. It came time for the bill and I’m not particularly surprised that nothing was done. I’m guessing the server (Nicole T) didn’t mention anything to the manager. I mentioned that I was surprised that they didn’t do anything (drinks? dessert?) to compensate for such a terrible experience and she asked if I wanted something taken off. I said I would leave it to her judgment . To be fair, there was nothing that would have made things right, but they took the salads off the bill. She justified charging for the chicken since we took the leftovers to go. Worst part - and assuming you made it this far - was that Vicky’s came highly recommended and it was our first visit. I wish I could give them a second chance, but there are too many other places that deserve a chance before this place gets another opportunity. Wow. All I can say. So horrible an experience and a real shame, as the live music was amazing.

There were four of us celebrating a birthday. One ordered the porkchop that came very red in the center so he sent it back. By the time the same piece came back cooked better we were all finished with our dinner. We complained and the server said no problem we’ll take it off your bill. The bill came still on it. We asked for manager and that was the beginning of a huge escalated altercation. He was the most unprofessional manager I have ever experienced and basically said we were the ones with the problem as they did nothing wrong and if we wanted it taken off bill he had to give it back to them. So he did give it back.! But it continued with the poor attitudes of his employees snd we were told pay the bill or they would call the police! NEVER will we ever recommend or go back for any reason. That manager Mark should take classes on proper customer service. He had a huge chip on his shoulder and no one in that business should ever speak to his customers the way he spoke to us. Very disappointing birthday dinner and all of our friends will not be visiting that restaurant again.

When we asked for a reservation at 7 pm for 2 and told yes after followed by being hung up on it should have been a message. We've eaten here before with family so we expected good food and service. A half hour into our time at our table we asked for bread. Wait staff were disgruntled. One of us had to go home. We decided it would be us
