“ 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! ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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. ”
“ The best meal and service. Joel was our server and his recommendations were excellent . The lobster ravioli was amazing as was the bacon wrapped dates and butter cake for desert. Sitting outside with the twinkle lights and live music added to the wonderful night. Don’t skip this place. Reservations for outdoor seating are a must. ”
“ 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! ”
“ This restaurant is beautiful. The food is excellent. The service was great and the atmosphere is amazing. ”
“ This spot seems to be bustling with activity! Thankfully, our friends made reservations based on recommendations, and we were greeted pleasantly and seated right away upon arrival. If you can, be sure to request patio seating— that’s where all the magic happens. The decor is lovely, beautifully adorned in lavender tones. The service was impeccable; our server was incredibly accommodating to our needs and made us feel relaxed, allowing us to catch up without any pressure to rush our orders. We started with drinks, of course. The lavender martini was delightful and strong, while the Lavender Spritzer was refreshing. For appetizers, we shared the delicious burrata and prosciutto, which was more than enough for the two of us. I ordered the 14oz honey-brined Kurobota pork chop, which was good but a bit overcooked for my taste. Meanwhile, my partner and one of our friends both ordered the short ribs with mashed potatoes, which were delicious and well-seasoned. Our other friend had the lobster ravioli, which looked amazing (though unfortunately, I couldn't try it due to my shellfish allergy). Overall, this is a super cute place to visit, especially with live music during our time there. It’s very romantic, making it a great spot for couples ”
