Desert Fire

Restaurant Week Lunch

Join us for Desert Fire, the Kaiser Grille Restaurant Week lunch experience. Built around our 750° almond-wood oven, oak-wood grill, and rotisserie, lunch is available daily from 11:30 AM to 3 PM thru July 6th.

Everything on this card meets fire. One almond-wood oven at 750°, one oak-wood grill, one rotisserie — built over thirty-four years on this corner, cooking Sito's recipes with what the desert grows this week.
