What People Are Saying About Cuistot

The Editor

Contributor

Citysearch

In Short – Bernard Dervieux opened Cuistot in 1987. Since then, this French-born, classically trained chef has turned his quaint Palm Desert restaurant into a highly rated culinary destination. Each dish reflects Dervieux's skill at delicately embellishing high-grade ingredients with complimentary seasoning, sauces and textures. Entrees range from rack of lamb to lobster pot pie. For dessert, Dervieux's signature Floating Island is a devilishly sweet and harmoniously light concoction of meringue, roasted almonds, creme anglaise and caramelized sugar.

horrible french food!!

by jschuel219

I cannot beleive they can call this french it was terrible. Also overpriced, it lacked a sense of quality. The service was horrible and food is fair. La poan was a much better restarunt but is now closed because of this short-stick operation.

Don't eat the brunch

by jferranti

This restaurant is not set up for brunch. The choices are very limited, the few little pasteries are terrible (I've had better at Costco), no coffee or great French bread, salads are soaked in some oil, the desserts are absolutely the worst I've eaten. Our server disappeared and we had to flag down more than one for service.

  • Cons: food, price, service
