Hit the Road, Jack

If you’d enjoyed sitting by the garden and hearing the sounds of a babbling brook while sipping on a good chardonnay and eating happy hour specials at Jackalope Ranch then no more. Thanks to the pandemic and several lock downs, Jackalope Ranch had to close and not reopen. We drove by recently and the entire property is fenced off. It doesn’t look like the restaurant will reopen anytime soon. Instead it looks like the place is ready to be demolished.

Another one of our favorites also did not survive the pandemic. Roy’s Restaurant in Rancho Mirage is now closed. There is a lease sign covering the Roy’s sign upfront where valet used to be. How sad is that? We are completely bummed out. We have spent a few Christmases at Roy’s and have celebrated our anniversaries there. Now they’re no more.

Luckily our other favorites are still open. This includes Okura Sushi, Pokehana, El Campanario and Salsas Restaurant.
