Richard blais restaurant
At Kestrel, celebrated chef and TV personality Richard Blais imparts his Left Coast take on American classics, signature cuts and coastal catches in a fresh, California-modern space that evokes the energy of surrounding flora + fauna.
INSPIRED CUISINE AND SETTING
Named after the American Kestrel, the smallest and most colorful falcon known for its striking appearance, the restaurant captures the essence of the bird’s charismatic demeanor and graceful flights across Southern California skies. Drawing from this inspiration, Kestrel Kitchen + Lounge promises locals and visitors alike, a place to savor delicious meals, sip handcrafted cocktails + soak in the natural beauty of the desert landscape.
SOCIAL BY DESIGN
Perched atop the entryway stairs at Indian Wells Golf Resort, the restaurant reveals an airy, earth-toned dining room and expansive bar that invite in soaring views of mountain peaks, verdant fairways and ombre sunsets. The outdoor terrace, complete with open-air bar and table seating, frames the perfect social setting to enjoy the region’s culinary style and natural allure.
Kestrel is a California kitchen that represents an extension of the good life that Indian Wells Golf resort provides. Our mission is to provide a breezy, flavorful, and flowing cuisine focusing on the region’s produce, people and history. Whether it’s a burger or composed protein and grain bowl for lunch, a regional themed freshly shaken cocktail for happy hour or a locally sourced dry aged steak with cared for vegetables for a celebratory dinner, Kestrel is more than a restaurant for me, it’s a lifestyle…
