Here you’ll find that bounty on full display. A dedicated garden in Rancho Mirage, along with a sizeable herb planter behind the kitchen, furnishes peak-season produce for wood-fired dishes like a flat iron au poivre, and even a simple yuzu tart is prettied up with farm-fresh raspberries and wood sorrel.

Review summary

Workshop Kitchen & Bar offers Californian cuisine with Michelin recognition. Food quality is polarizing: diners praise the perfect presentation and unique flavors of dishes like duck salad and lamb, while others report tasteless meals and pacing issues. Service varies widely, with some servers described as exceptional and others as rude or pushy regarding alcohol. The atmosphere blends brutalist and farmhouse styles, creating a cool but sometimes cramped and noisy environment. Value is debated due to high prices and inconsistent service. It suits adventurous diners seeking unique culinary experiences, but those prioritizing consistent service may find it unsatisfactory.
