One of the finest restaurants in an area full of great fine dining options, Lavender Bistro is such a gorgeous setting for our Christmas Eve date. The food is fantastic, and the service was great from very warm and accommodating staff.

Lavender Bistro, oh what a delight,
A dinner to remember, a culinary flight.
With rack of lamb, so tender,
And marrow for starters, a savory toasty treat.

Filet and risotto, perfect,
Beet salad so fresh, made with care.
Mushroom soup, rich and creamy,
French onion too, it's brothy.

Lavender martinis, a toast to the night,
Tequila to sip, spirits take flight.
Butter cake shared with four forks in hand,
A dessert to end this feast.

At Lavender Bistro, beneath the twinkling tree glow,
A meal so divine.

Visiting Palm Desert and surrounding valley, we had an amazing time at Lavender. We sat on the patio and had live music. The music selection was a perfect selection for Gen X and older. The music was not too loud. We are gluten fee and garlic free. The kitchen was very accommodating. We were able to have a 3 course meal, over 2.5 hours. One of our favorite Palm Desert places.

While visiting the Palm Desert area for my cousins’ 80th birthday, an acquaintance suggested Lavender Bistro. We considered Spencer’s, but it is closed on Monday and Tuesday, and the Big Event was on a Tuesday. The experience was simply wonderful. We ate outside on January 14, but we barely noticed except for how beautiful it is. There were plenty of heaters providing subtle warmth, not burning one side and freezing on the other! All the trees were covered in little white lights. There’s a large outdoor fireplace.

The staff knew what we were celebrating, and they were wonderful. So charming and gracious. I had the Beet Duo Salad and the large size of butternut squash ravioli. It was plenty to eat and delicious. Someone else loved their French Onion soup and the mushroom soup was also highly praised! We all were very pleased with the food and drinks. We declined dessert, but the staff brought us an apple tart to share, which was perfect.

If I travel again to PD, Lavender Bistro will definitely be on the list!

We had a great experience and the drinks were top notch! Everyone was professional and very accommodating. We wanted to go out to have a good drink so we decided to take our chances and go to Lavender Bistro last minute. We arrived 10 minutes before they closed and ended up having 2 drinks each, no pressure to leave (they close at 9:00pm). The bar is beautiful and classy, the musician amazing, as well as the Bar staff - bartenders and servers, EXCELLENT service! I had the Lavender Martini (Delicious!) followed by the Cucumber Martini (so refreshing and equally delicious!). My date had the Stardust IPA's (Wow great!) I highly recommend Lavender Bistro and we will definitely be back asap!

A couple blocks from Old Town La Quinta, the Lavender Bistro is cherished by locals. Come early and have smaller portions in the bar, or enjoy full meals in beautiful indoor comfort or the spacious outdoor patio. Reservations a must. Three of us smoked the bar menu. We ate it ALL. 😙 Did I mention the Lavender Martini?
