Mara - Twentynine Palms

Mara restaurant is wonderful.  It is romantic,  the food is inspirational with an eye for details of flavors, textures, and presentation.  The service is great.  There are gorgeous desert mountains paintings. Did I mention the food?  One of us is a ‘special needs’ customer who is always happiest when dining at Mara. Thank you to the chef and team.   Peter and Beth Balmat

We loved Mara! We were traveling from Northern California and made a reservation for Thanksgiving. The food was all excellent! We met the chef and you can tell he really cares for his customers and puts 100% into his cooking. We loved it all! The stuffing, the Turkey, the prime rib, the deviled eggs, the desserts…everything!!! Wish we lived closer and we would be frequent diners.

We had a wonderful experience both times we ate at Mara. We had a delicious dinner and Thanksgiving buffet. They use quality ingredients. I want to go back for the breakfast buffet. Family, chef owned. Ambiance, delicious food and a welcoming staff.

I came here with my partner for our anniversary and everyone at the restaurant went so much out of their way to make our day special! they got us flowers, complimentary champagne, and the restaurant owner's wife even got us a WHOLE CAKE!! the chef came out to congratulate us and the servers kept checking in on us. There was a guitarist playing in the restaurant as well which made the restaurant feel so romantic and sweet. I am forever grateful for the happy memories they provided us this last weekend.

Wonderful meal. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly and attentive. The Chef/Owner even came out to introduce himself and make sure we were taken care of. Very glad to have another elevated food experience in the high desert.
