    Always a five star experience for us when we eat here . Love the decor and the vibe !!! Food was delicious , we both had the surf and turf and the lobster was delicious. We normally don’t order lobster when we go out because it is usually lacking in flavor else where but not here it was cooked to perfection and the flavor was delicious. We told our waitress to tell the chef how wonderful it was and he came over to the table . We had the mussels appetizer and it was delicious too !! The sauce was so good I wanted to take it home !!! Excellent service and look forward to eating dinner here again !!! Thank you !!!

    The patio is a beautiful large seating area. Excellent live guitar entertainment. The server was efficient and on the spot when we needed something. I had the famous Arnold Palmer meat loaf. It’s served with mashed potatoes and green beans. Topped with BBQ sauce. It’s always delicious. My friend had the double rib pork chop. It was tender and delicious also. We had the chopped salad. The food was hot when served. The restaurant was packed as usual. You must make reservations through Open Table well in advance. We think this is the best outside patio for dining in the valley. We are never disappointed here.

    Our Anniversary and Thanksgiving fell on the same day this year. Due to Lavender Bistro's reputation for amazing cuisine and our dinner date was on Thanksgiving, the place was very crowded. Even so, the hostesses and servers were very cheerful, and efficient. Our table was beside one of the beautifully lighted trees. It was hard to decide which appetizer and entree on the menu to pick, since they all looked delicious. We were pleased with our choices. We will definitely be returning.

    WOW what a terrific dinner! We celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary and chose the Cliffhouse. Denise our server was warm and gracious, and our dinner was exceptional. I had the filet mignon, which was tasty and cooked to perfection, and my husband had the Wagu strip steak, and it was amazing. He also had the Ceaser salad and said it was the best one he has had and he orders them wherever we go. Praise to the new Executive Chef who has elevated the food to new heights!
