Lavender Bistro

An absolutely delightful experience! We had the butternut squash ravioli and it was heavenly. Coming back for that alone! The filet mignon was more on the rare side instead of medium but was still delicious and tender. The sorbet dessert was the perfect dessert for such a big meal. The atmosphere was amazing as well as the live music. Lavender Bistro is one of the best restaurants in La Quinta.

An unforgettable birthday symphony for the senses.🎂🎵 They say a great restaurant experience is more than the sum of its parts, and Lavender Bistro in beautiful La Quinta, California is the definitive proof. What was initially a backup plan for my 40th birthday dinner, on a friend's fervent recommendation, became such a memorable culinary celebration. Let's start with the main event: the food. As a lamb connoisseur who often laments its underappreciation in the States, their lamb chops were a revelation...an absolute triumph. The dish was elevated to a work of art by a stunning lavender-hued cauliflower purée, a detail that was as beautiful on the plate as it was on the palate. Our table also indulged in a feast of bacon-wrapped dates, decadent bone marrow, a perfectly cooked flat iron s

Our server was attentive and other staff ensured we had water and watched to ensure all was well. My sea bass with soy sauce and rice was delicious. However, my friend's flat iron steak wasn't served medium, as ordered, plus it was rather tough. The staff came right away and were nice about replacing it with something else. My Manhattan served 'up' was fabulous. A basket of warm, delicious bread with perfectly soft butter was brought to our table with our cocktails.

Solid food, great atmosphere, outdoor for groups has an upcharge, but it's worth it. Definitely make a reservation.

This place is amazing! We sat at table 134 and had Sebastian wait on our table. Excellent service!!! When I asked him for a dessert recommendation he said the Lillie butter cake. OMG…Best dessert!!! Even this review does not do it justice! Everything was soo good! Thank you Sebastian! They are lucky to have you!
