The food is fresh and excellent. The prices are on the higher side even though you order at the counter & they deliver to your table. Our dinner for 2 ended up around $80.

I had the halibut rice bowl, and my friend had the Baja tacos. We ordered the Aji tuna stack also. Restaurant needs to do an upgrade on the tartar sauce please! Other than that everything was fresh and delicious. Can't wait to go back!!

Outstanding little fish house. Can't believe you can still get fish this fresh all the way out in the Desert. Crazy. Prepared very nicely. Quite tasty. My mom and I have enjoyed them for years.Wheelchair accessibility: It's one story ya weirdos. The ADA people need to chill

I should have taken a photo but I ate it before thinking. The fish and chips meal was delicious. I love when the fish is not layered in thick crust. This fish was perfect.

Excellent lunch after a hike! Highly recommend the Catalina Sliders with Cajun seasoning! Service was great and the restaurant was welcoming. We are definitely coming back!

We enjoyed ourselves here very much. After dinner the lovely owner came over to see how our meal was and chatted with us briefly. He let us know they have a few restaurants -including the Landing at the JW. We checked that out too - fun place and view.

We ordered the fisherman's boat, and when they served it to us at first, I thought I don't think this is going to be enough for two people, boy was I wrong! not only was there enough, but we were stuffed and everything was delicious. We definitely recommend this place.

Yesterday was my first time at this restaurant. I like the ambience of the patio and the restaurant as a whole. However, I was put off by the female cashier as she was not friendly or accommodating - a change in attitude would be welcome. I had the Lifeboat menu with scallops and they were done very well. However, the side salad was awful - a handful of greens thrown on the plate with one thin sliced tomato on top. Blue cheese dressing is packaged, and the tartar sauce was not good at all. For the veg I had "Giant" trees of Broccoli and two tiny carrots - all very al dente. The wines are reasonably priced which is nice. I have purchased fresh fish here and it was excellent., but the menu "sides" need revamping for sure! Note: The chairs are so low that 2 of my friends who are just about 5'1" had thier faces almost on the table. - sigh!

We just left here! Wow! What a hidden gem! This was one of the best seafood places I can remember and it was all so fresh!The reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 was because I got the wrong order. I ordered the seafood kabob but got the Hawaiian plate. Let me tell you though….. it was delicious even though it wasn’t what I ordered. My husband kept urging me to say something but it was so good that I wanted to keep it! Yum!My husband got the seafood gumbo and said his was delicious too!Next time we are here from Michigan on vacation, we will definitely be back!I do have a bit of advice, you go to the counter to place your order and pay for it. They bring it to your table. When we got there we couldn’t figure out who was supposed to seat us.
The Fisherman's Market is one of our favoriate places in Palm Desert! Everything is FRESH and priced very reasonably. Service is friendly, good and quick. I've eaten here 50-60 times and it's consistently excellent.

Our party of 3 ate there on Tuesday evening. Two of the meals were delivered promptly. the third was not. the server said he would be right out with it. 10 min later, no meal. my husband went to the front counter and they said they would be right out with it. 10 min later, salmon meal was delivered rather than the ordered fish and chips. 30 min after we sat down, my friend finally got the dinner she ordered. my husband and I were almost finished with ours. unfortunately, we had already paid the tip when we had ordered. I will no longer tip until after the meal. the food was very good as always, but the service was terrible. The server listed on our receipt was Mindy C.

Food is always great. Excellent staff(the men).Except for the one snobby young girl taking the orders. She's rude and rolls her eyes. 3rd time it happened to my mother & I.
