My husband and I recently had the best dining experience at Eureka in Indian Wells. We felt safe dining on their original patio even though they have an additional outdoor tent set up as well.
We were greeted by our server Marcie, who took exceptional care of us. We started off with some of their new craft cocktail items such as the Bacon-Infused Whistle Pig with 10 Yr. Rye, Bitters and Barrel Aged Maple Syrup; the Penicillin with Single Malt Whiskey, Ginger, Honey and Lemon; and the Young and in Love with Vodka, Elderflower, St. George Raspberry, Blood Orange Shrub and Lemon. We also indulged in a Whiskey Sour, all of which were delicious. Being a martini girl, I rarely order mixed cocktails as they’re always too sweet, but not the case with my vodka drink.
We started off with the queso dip and guacamole which was very tasty and included house made fresh, warm chips. We also decided to try the chicken wings. Let me say here that my husband is a connoisseur of wings, but I am not usually a fan. Well now I am! We had the option of choosing 2 different sauces for our wings and he chose the original buffalo sauce while I opted for the new orange chili glaze sauce. Best. Wings. Ever!!!
For our main entrees we decided to share both the Bison burger and the Grilled Ahi steak salad. Both were excellent choices. The Bison burger came with macaroni & cheese balls. The burger itself had bacon jalapeño infused jam, caramelized onions and a Red Fresno Chile, giving it a bit of a bite. This was probably the best burger I have ever had. So much in fact we will be ordering it to go tomorrow night.
The Ahi was pan-seared accompanied by a salad of spring mix, avocado, cabbage, carrot, green onions, cilantro, crispy wontons with a peanut sauce sesame ginger dressing. So very fresh!
You can also get your food delivered from Eureka, which my daughter and son-in- law have done many times over the last few months, and they always rave about the consistency of the food when it arrives.
We ended our night with the Bourbon barrel cake with Vanilla bean ice cream and Candied pecans. Delish!!
These are just a few of the new items they are now offering, but they have an amazing full menu of food and craft cocktails.
Make this Valentine’s Day special with Eureka, whether you dine in on their patio or have your food and drinks delivered.
