Shame on the Moon Restaurant originally opened in April 1984, in Cathedral City, California. After 11 Seasons in Cathedral City, we moved to Rancho Mirage in February of 1995. As “The Desert Season” begins in mid-October 2016, we begin our 33rd Season in the Coachella Valley. While many restaurants have come and gone in the past 32 years, we are very proud to say that our business is as strong as ever.

We are very grateful to so many of our customers, for their years of support. We are fortunate to have many guests who dine with us on a weekly basis, and quite a few dine with us more than once or twice a week. Many of whom have turned into close personal friends.

We are blessed to have a staff in the front of the House and in the Kitchen who have worked for us, as well as with us. Milan Tojagic, one of the original owners, has been here the entire 32 plus years. He was also the 1st & only Chef for the first 11 years in Cathedral City. Ginger Carter, one of our Managers as well as Our Hostess, began as a Server in 1993, and has been greeting our guests in Rancho Mirage.

Shame on the Moon has two distinctly different dining rooms. One is our main dinning room, which tends to be more formal with predominantly booth seating. The garden room, which is climate controlled, lends itself to more intimate conversation.
