   Absolutely beautiful setting. Food was good but not great. Our server was very nice but busy handling many other tables so the service felt somewhat hurried. Overall a pleasant meal in a pretty outdoor setting.

   We love Lavender Bistro, we were out in the desert for three months this year and we had dinner there every week, usually on a Thursday. The atmosphere is so nice, even on a breezy night. The food and service are top notch. Our server Eric knew us by sight and remembered our favorite cocktail request. I’m so sad the season is ending for us but we will be back as soon as we can.

   While the ambiance was great, it was overshadowed by the crowed tables and noisy music. It was hard to carry on a normal conversation. The value of the meal was a bit unfairly charged; we asked for tap water and was poured bottled water at $10 a glass, our water was never refilled the whole evening. A bottle of beer at $12 was excessive. Meal prices were consistently high as are other restaurants. Corkage fee is now $30! As full time desert dwellers, we know there are many other fine dining options in the desert; we may not be dining here again for a while.

   Best meal we had in the Greater Palm Springs area during our weeklong vacation. The courtyard is beautiful. Our server was attentive and professional.

   The ultimate restaurant when the weather is perfect and you want to celebrate or impress. ostly groups but they have plenty of tables for two. Parking is limited, so valet or plan to arrive early. The outdoor garden lit by fairy lights and it's easy to have a conversation over the music and lively crowd from the outdoor seats. Service is excellent with professional, friendly wait staff and servers. The special the day we dined was Mahi Mahi in a coconut-macadamia crust over mashed potatos, and it was divine, as was the duck breast over sweet potato puree. Serving sizes are on the larger side, but pricing is what you should expect for fine dining. All in all, this is a very good choice for Desert Dining.

   We loved our night at Lavendar Bistro! Music was very enjoyable - outdoor seating was lovely and festive and the menu was super appealing! Great service, cocktails and everyone enjoyed their meals. Top spot to dine in the area for sure!

    One of our favorite places to bring out-of-town guests. Wonderful ambience. Great food. Getting a bit pricey, though.
