    We went back to Dave’s High Desert Grill, this time for brunch which looked so good on the menu. And it was. They have an extensive brunch menu. Spouse had the Quiche Lorraine which she loved. And I had the lobster and artichoke Benny which I’ve been craving since I saw it on the menu last time. It was everything I hoped. It has lots of lobster... not like the places that wave a lobster shell over the plate and call it a lobster dish. The melding of lobster , artichoke, spinach, scallions and egg is delicious. With a very nice hollandaise sauce. I was in heaven. Each meal comes with a generous portion of fresh fruit. Their cinnamon bun is very good with a real cream cheese frosting (not just sugar) that adds some gravitas to the pastry. But here’s the kicker that I haven’t seen advertised: If you get a mimosa with your meal (10 on the menu, 9 on the check?), you get two free refills! (I’m glad they have a three drink limit.) so you can try the different mimosa flavors if you like. If you’re going for brunch, I’d try to get there before 11:30 when the lunch rush starts and they fill up. We also have loved Dave’s for dinner. The ribs and pot roast were excellent and don’t neglect the sides. I’m craving the corn still. Highly recommend.

    Bailey was our server/bartender and she was so nice and accommodating! The food was delicious! I had the chicken nachos that did not disappoint! The mimosas were the cherry on top that also had so many options for flavors.

    I went here for the first time for Happy Hour and I was glad I did. I had a House Margarita and the BBQ Pulled Pork Sliders. The sliders came with french fries. Super delicious Friendly service. Will definitely be back. Thank you!
