La Quinta Cliffhouse
La Quinta, CA
A Mediterranean-style restaurant jutting from a massive rock outcropping at historic Point Happy where 180-degree views sweep across the Coachella Valley and Santa Rosa Mountains from massive beams above the bar area and white walls kept clean and unadorned save for colorful wood strips from a Thai fishing boat arranged like modern art. The cliffside patio pressed against bare rock glows at night from a flowing waterfall, massive stone fireplace, and soft overhead bulbs, creating a romantic haven suspended in the desert hillside with Jazz music drifting through the Spanish ranch architecture.
