Everything at Lavender Bistro is even better than it looks online. That includes the outdoor seating atmosphere, the service, and most importantly, the food. We had the ahi tuna tower appetizer, which was outstanding. Then, since it was Thursday, we had the prime rib, which was extremely tender and cooked to perfection. The wine list is a little pricy (pricier than the one online, which is apparently outdated), but that's a small complaint for what was otherwise a truly memorable dining experience.

The outdoor seating was a pleasant atmosphere but the tables are really close together. My husband was back to back with a man a foot or so apart. The mixed drinks are nice, but the wine list uninspired although extensive. The food was good but not outstanding. All in all an okay experience, but probably not worth the prices.

We have always had a fabulous meal. Great atmosphere and staff!

We had such a delightful evening with fabulous food and service. It is so great to be able to sit outside with close friends and enjoy the beautiful lights and ambience😝❗️

Marvelous!

We arrived early and went to the bar for a drink. We sat next to the bar at a high table.
Our waitress was simply awful. She promised a wine list that never came. Brought a drink list instead. She took a drink order for one of us but not the other. Late on both. What a trainwreck. However, when we were seated outside our service was 5-star. Dinner was excellent.

Great outdoor location for night time dining. Food was OK and not great.

Beautiful atmosphere, great menu, thought we were lucky to find it was half price wine night but likely the reason it was packed to the hilt and everything was a bit off. Have had all around wonderful experiences in prior visits.

Such a busy night on the patio, very crowded and chaotic. The wait staff was making every effort, in difficult circumstances. The food not up the usual standards at Lavender Bistro.

Birthday celebration just happened to fall on 1/2 price bottle of wine Tuesday which was great, meal, service & ambiance all terrific, think entrees are slightly over-priced. Would still return for a special occasion

We ate outside. Beautiful, but felt like the tables were not “social distanced” enough. Would have preferred a little more space between tables while we are still in the pandemic.

Fabulous night with amazing service and spectacular food! The live music is perfect. Thank you for another marvelous experience.

We went to this restaurant based on 2 recommendations. The sashimi appetizer was very good. The salad I ordered lacked flavor. Needed a better drsg. Lobster ravioli was ok, the actual lobster tail it came with was flavorless and rubbery. Bread pudding dessert tasted like banana bread.

What a marvelous time we had celebrating our anniversary. The service and ambience was excellent and the food was delicious! We had the pound of dungenous crab and bacon wrapped mejool dates! We will be back the next time we visit the area.

Birthday great place

I took my wife for her birthday. The service ,food, atmosphere were all outstanding. The Bistro was recommended by a friend. Great job as we enjoyed it immensely. We will come back.

Amazing atmosphere, food, and staff. Another wonderful time at Lavender Bistro.

Birthday celebration

The absolute best Filet Mignon and Lobster Tail EVER.

Wonderfully personal service and all in a setting fit for a King and his Queen.

It was as always wonderful

Can’t wait to go back again!!

It is so great to see dining back. This place was always the best for outdoor dining and impeccable attention to food and service. Nice surprise—free corkage Sundays and the option to order a half salad. Gracious dining doesn’t have to just be for special occasions!

We had high expectations for Lavender Bistro, based on recommendations from friends. All were exceeded except one: we experienced an invasion of flies, not just at our table, but at every table within view. It's a beautiful outdoor dining space in daylight, dusk and dark; the menu is varied and our selections were delicious (the crab cake appetizer is outstanding!) but as soon as my husband's curry dish was delivered, the flies descended. We spent more time shooing and swatting than eating. We would have stayed for coffee and dessert, but the flies won out, and we departed earlier that we would have liked.

It was hot outside, which is fine, but the sun was in our face for a bit and when asked about moving an umbrella they said no. The tables are close together. Lots of people especially during these times. I made sure I reserved a table a few weeks ahead of time assuming there’d be less people. Service was a little difficult because of the amount of customers.

One of the best meals i have had in the area! Truly an amazing experience and ambience. We will definitely be back!

Lavender Bistro is always a fav when we visit Palm Springs. Delicious food and lovely ambiance!

Creative food; large portions - bring your appetite.

So glad to see Lavendar back in business and busier than ever. Great food and service as always.

Service was poor. Very rushed dinner and did not meet my expectations on waiter knowledge of the menu or wine.

The food was excellent, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the staff went above and beyond to help.

We couldn't get an Uber or Lyft home that night, there were none, and our waitress sat with us and tried to help us get a ride home for 30 min, until we finally got an Uber. Overall great experience.

Food was good. Service was good. But the patio was too crowded for our comfort. There was almost no distancing from other tables.

We went for our anniversary. It was the perfect spot. Beautiful and service was wonderful.

Excellent outdoor seating. Food was delicious. Service was Impeccable.

We at Lavender at least once a years

Everything was great! Only request would be more burrata on the heirloom tomatoes. The Organic Old Fashion was suvch a great cocktail.

Wonderful restaurant...we dined in the patio area which was magical with lovely lighting effects and classy music (Scott was excellent, you can tell him the tall guy from Seattle said so.)

Always a beautiful evening out. Guests are always delighted with experience.

Too many flies. This needs to be sorted out

We love Lavender Bistro .. It continues to be one of our favorite restaurant in La Quinta .

The setting is stunning, the service impeccable and food outstanding ... Looking forward to our next visit .

Amazing dinner!
