Sullivan's Steakhouse

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

On El Paseo, Palm Desert's celebrated shopping and dining boulevard, Sullivan's Steakhouse delivers what the brand has long stood for: hand-cut prime steaks, fresh seafood, and an atmosphere anchored by classic interiors and live jazz. The wine list has earned the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 2025 — recognition that reflects a genuine commitment to the cellar, not just a gesture toward it.

The Experience

Sullivan's describes its appeal simply: "Prime Flavor. Local Flair." Whether you're a first-timer or a regular, there's a deliberate warmth to the room — the kind that comes from consistent hospitality rather than theatrical flourish. Classic décor and lively jazz set the tone for an evening that feels both polished and relaxed, the hallmark of a well-run steakhouse.

What's on the Table

The menu centers on hand-cut steaks and fresh seafood, complemented by craft cocktails and a wine program serious enough to earn national recognition. For those who want to deepen their relationship with the list, Sullivan's Wine Locker Membership offers a 15% discount on bottles and cases stored in your personal locker, a 10% discount on wine ordered by the glass or bottle during dinner, first access to premier selections, and invitations to exclusive member events — a thoughtful program for anyone who dines here regularly.

On select evenings, the kitchen offers a four-course Chef Selections menu for two at $99, making the full steakhouse and seafood experience accessible without compromise.

Private Events & Catering

Sullivan's Palm Desert accommodates private gatherings in dedicated dining spaces, with coordinators on hand to personalize everything from corporate dinners to milestone celebrations. The catering arm can also bring the Sullivan's experience off-site, to a venue of your choosing.
