I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and will never tire of the West Coast, although I spent several years living in Southeast Asia, about as far from California as you can get. Wherever I am in the world, I love straying from the beaten path, experiencing local life, and discovering hidden gems - camera in hand. The beach is my happy place and when I am not there (or writing), you will usually find me baking, watching movies, and cuddling my pugs. I have traveled around the country and around the world, and it never, ever gets old. Being able to combine my passion for travel and my love of writing is nothing short of a dream.
When it comes to scenic views, what comes to mind? Do you have a favorite? For me, it is hard to choose. I love any view at all of the ocean, cool rock formations in the desert, a forest path that opens up to a wide grassy meadow, flying into a city at night with its endless sparkling lights, a colorful sunset from nearly anywhere… they are all amazing in their own right. But combine one of those with a spectacular meal and it definitely wins. That is just what you will find at this cliff-top restaurant in Rancho Mirage, CA.
The Edge Steakhouse is located on the grounds of the glamorous Ritz-Carlton Rancho Mirage in the Coachella Valley, and it makes for a truly exceptional night out.
As the restaurant’s name suggests, it sits at the edge of a cliff, 650 feet above sea level, overlooking Palm Springs sprawled out at the base of that iconic mountain backdrop.
The dining room at The Edge Steakhouse could not be better situated, putting you at eye level with vibrant desert sunsets over the mountains. And it just gets better.
As the sky gets darker, the city lights come up all over the desert floor below, and with nothing but clear glass separating you from the outside, you can even do a little stargazing.
Now, about the food. Extraordinary is the only way to describe it, from the impeccable quality to the brilliant flavor to the creative and elegant presentation, with no aspect of the meal left out.
This restaurant is known for its dry-aged proteins from around the world, but they also serve up incredible seafood and sides. The menu boasts Wagyu beef steaks, Moroccan Spiced Lamb Loin, Chilean sea bass, grilled quail, Oysters, and more.
Obviously, desserts are out-of-the-ordinary, from the “Toast to Autumn” - pan-seared carrot-date French toast with creme fraiche and candied prosciutto - to the Chocolate and Salted Caramel - flourless chocolate cake with all sorts of chocolate, meringue, and caramel embellishments.
From the fancy and delicious menu to the elegant atmosphere to the extraordinary views, you won’t find an experience quite like this anywhere else.
