    Everything lavender in an amazing outdoor lighted patio setting. With excellent food. I’ve been here many times and never had a bad meal. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu.

    We loved the food. The waiter was running really hard but the place was oversold. They needed twice the staff or half the people.

    Too big, too busy and our food lacked flavor. Our meals also arrived cold. We ordered the special for the evening (prime rib) and I had to ask for horseradish to put on it to be remotely palatable. The broccolini that accompanied the meal was ice cold. We ordered truffle fries to have either main entree and it came out as an app. It too was ice cold. The mushroom soup was also flavorless and was cold. Get the the theme here? Definitely not worth a return or a recommend.

    This used to be a special place for us to dine… the patio is still the most beautiful but is now very over-crowded with tables. We had a round table which was rocky (they fixed that) but it curved to the middle. For the price the food wasn’t up to it. We were disappointed

    It was my wife’s birthday, and when we arrived our table had a birthday card and a small box of cookies waiting. We shared a meal of their daily special fish which was plenty for the two of us. The service was excellent and the ambiance was superb for a birthday dinner. Thank you Lavender!

    Ambiance on the patio is best in the Coachella Valley. The quality of the food this year was noticeably worse than last few years.
