Tired of the food scene in Palm Springs, we opted to stay in La Quinta for Indian Wells this year. Change of pace. Change of food. We had dinner here and it was great. To start, we shared the fried calamari ($15.50). The calamari comes lightly battered topped with red pepper flakes with a side of marinara dipping sauce. This was as good as calamari could get. I ordered the chicken parmigiana ($29). The chicken parm - delish. It was lightly battered and not over-cheesed. The marinara was sweet with a subtle hint of tang. Even more perfect was the broccolini. Even though it was just the co-star, it was so, so good. If The Grill on Main is making co-stars bright and shiny, I'm absolutely here for it. The Grill on Main feels like a place locals come to for a nice Friday night dinner.

The Grill is always first rate. Good food, reasonably priced on a really nice patio. We had dinner at 6:30 on a weeknight. We got seated right away on the inner patio. Drinks came out right away. We ordered the Brussels sprout app which was delicious although the server didn't bring plates and we had to track down a second server to get them. My wife and cousin ordered salads as entrees, the Israeli and the BLT. Both of them were very good. I had the chicken parmigiana and my cousins husband had the fish and chips. Both were good , large portions nicely presented.

Wanted to leave an updated review as I absolutely love the Grill on Main for lunch in downtown La Quinta. The ambiance is relax but pretty, staff are always very nice but the food is exceptional. Always a slam dunk when it comes to a great meal, easy to please a large crowd. The menu here is solid. Almost too many good looking options to choose from. I'm a sucker for their salads here. I haven't had a salad here I didn't like. My usual go to is their chopped BLT salad but today I tried their caprese salad with shrimp and I wish they make it a permanent staple on their menu because it come back often! The shrimp here are gigantic and always cooked to perfection. Their homemade dressings are also very good. My friend tried their poke salad and salmon tacos. The salmon tacos were definitely raved about. I'll have to try them next time. The staff here are always very nice and attentive despite being busy. Our waiter ensured that our waters were always refilled. At one point he was smart to just leave us the entire jug lol. It was clear we were dehydrated. It's little touches like this that make all of the difference. If you are staying in downtown la Quinta I'd definitely recommend this spot for lunch or dinner. Aside from solid salads they also have great appetizers and a well versed and unique menu for everyone. Cocktails here are also good. Indoor and outdoor seating options. A must try spot for sure.

Always love Grill on Main. They do a phenomenal job their wings are my favorite in the Coachella Valley. I also love their Sunday breakfast menu and have never been let down by the wonderful service. Can't go wrong with the girl on Main.

Excellent location in old town La Quinta with a lot of other restaurants, coffee and retail spots. We came here for lunch and it wasn't too busy. We were greeted by the hostess and opted for outdoor patio seating which is a nice area with views into the plaza, with the added bonus of misters. Our waiter was great, very friendly and came to check on us at just the right intervals. One thing I appreciated was his suggestions on different salad dressings that didn't have dairy/cheese. Also unique was their option of bacon vinaigrette which of course I had to try on the chopped salad. Very complimentary with the bacon bits. We also ordered the Grill Burger which I would give 5 starts and is one tasty burger along with the fries and loved how many extra pickles they gave. Lastly, I should mention two other things: The portions are very good size and the sangria was just to my liking and was perfect for a warm desert day. I'll have to come back for dinner and definitely for the daily happy hour!
