Since 1989, Indian Wells’ premier restaurant continues to be the place for cocktails, dinner, live music, and nightlife.

Vicky’s of Santa Fe is an award-winning restaurant, noted for its outstanding American cuisine and has been consistently awarded “Best Hot Spot” and “Best Live Music Venue” by OpenTable. It’s also a place where everyone knows your name. Vicky’s owner Marc Laliberte likes to say, “It’s not just the place. It’s the people. Our guests become friends and family.”

A menu of prime steaks, fresh seafood, rack of lamb, and pork chops can pair with any number of savory sides, such as a twice-baked potato or classic mac and cheese with a variety of lighter options, from an ahi tuna stack to locally sourced bacon-wrapped stuffed dates. Nightly dinner specials will certainly satisfy all appetites.

A walk-in wine cellar features volumes of California wines from well-known winemakers to select boutique vintners. At the spacious center bar, signature cocktails shake up through the night.

Entertainment abounds in the Lounge Room with a live music program overseen by desert legend John Stanley King. There are electrifying performances with no cover charge every night of the week.

Vicky’s is also home to the Show Supper Club Series, an array of five Broadway-style dinner shows featuring Broadway-credited performers and music artists.

Private dining, milestone, and holiday gatherings book up fast. Dinner reservations are available daily from 5 to 9:30 p.m.
