Photographs of Arnie and his pals hang on the walls and there are three rooms that represent his triumphs in the U.S. Open, the British Open and the Masters. The Falls Prime Steakhouse & Martini Bar Great steakhouses are no strangers to the cities of the Coachella Valley. A prime vacation spot for Southern Californians and the rest of the country, the region has its share of terrific restaurants that specialize in the best steaks money can buy. You can add the Falls Prime Steakhouse & Martini Bar to the impressive list. With locations in La Quinta and downtown Palm Springs, you’re never too far from the mouth-watering steaks served by this successful franchise. What differentiates the Falls from other fine restaurants in the area is its ambiance and the range of its offerings. While serious eaters can get their fill of steak, seafood and other entrees, the martini lounge offers a great location for a pre-meal aperitif or post-meal cocktail. A dizzying array of flavorful martinis, all of which are made with premium liquors, are available as are a fine array of single-malt scotches and other high-quality libations. The range of the menu is just as impressive as its liquid fare. Some great non-steak meal offerings include the scintillating seafood tower appetizer, which includes chilled lobster tail, shrimp, crab and oysters; a heavenly rack of lamb; Kurobuta pork short ribs; and fresh ahi, salmon and halibut dishes. But the word steak is in the restaurant’s name and that’s no coincidence. The Falls’ varieties include a filet, New York strip, ribeye aged for a minimum of 15 days, a whopping porterhouse and two types of hand-carved prime rib available Friday and Saturday nights. In La Quinta, the Falls is located at 78-430 Highway 111, (760) 777-9999. In Palm Springs, the location is 155 S. Palm Canyon Dr., (760) 416-8664. |
