A little context

Trending follows the largest positive changes in Restaurant Score over a monthly comparison. The current scores are dated October 30, 2026; the comparison target is September 30, 2026. The nearest earlier weekly observation, up to 14 days before that target, supplies each restaurant's starting score.

Changes are measured in points. This list reflects score growth; our restaurant rankings in Palm Desert offer another way to discover places by their current score. Explore the scoring methodology for more context.
