VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Perched high above Coachella Valley, The Edge Steakhouse at The Ritz-Carlton, Rancho Mirage is a see-and-be-seen experience wrapped in desert glamour. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook sweeping canyons that shift from sun-drenched gold to twilight violet as diners savor prime, dry-aged cuts and fresh seafood.

The menu bridges classic steakhouse indulgence with refined, modern touches — think wagyu with black truffle butter or nicely charred Spanish octopus with impossibly smooth squid ink puree. Tableside presentations add a touch of theater, while the sommelier’s expertly crafted wine list spotlights bold Napa reds and crisp global whites.

Inside, the contemporary design melds sleek sophistication with warm desert hues, echoing the landscape beyond. Whether for a romantic sunset dinner or a celebratory night out, Edge delivers a polished yet intimate dining experience that captures the essence of desert luxury.

Our Inspector's Highlights

Request a window table just before sunset — locals know it’s the best seat in the house, as the entire Coachella Valley glows gold beneath you and the San Jacinto Mountains fade into dusky violet. The view alone is worth lingering over dessert.
The servers are true connoisseurs, often suggesting off-menu pairings like a glass of Caymus cabernet with the bone-in ribeye or Sauternes alongside the butterscotch crème brûlée. Their suggestions never miss.
The wagyu Black Opal tomahawk receives a tableside carving that feels part performance, part ritual — its aroma alone tends to turn nearby heads. Order it medium-rare to appreciate its buttery marbling and charred crust.
Regulars know to start with the seafood platter for two. The addition of daily rotating ceviche makes this a must-order for returning diners.
Vegetarians aren’t forgotten at the Palm Springs restaurant, either. An umami-rich mushroom steak topped with toasted seed crumbles is meaty enough to satisfy even voracious carnivores.

The Bar

The bar at The Edge Steakhouse mirrors the Palm Springs restaurant’s dramatic desert setting, with an illuminated onyx counter and sleek glass shelving that glows softly against the mountain backdrop. It’s a destination in its own right, perfect for sunset cocktails before dinner.
Signature drinks lean on craftsmanship and regional flair. Expect innovative riffs on classics, like a Smoked Old Fashioned infused with mesquite or a passionfruit-forward twist on a lemon drop martini.
The 250-bottle wine list is an oenophile’s delight, showcasing both prestigious California vineyards and international standouts. Pairings are thoughtfully tailored, ensuring each vintage enhances the restaurant’s rich, flavor-driven cuisine.
For a finishing touch, order an espresso martini at the bar after dinner. The bartenders shake each one to a velvety froth, best enjoyed as the desert night settles beyond the glass
