“USUALLLY THEY ARE ON POINT. BUT, NOT FRIDAY NIGHT! I KNOW THEY WERE BUSY BUT, MY MOTHER (IT WAS HER 78TH BDAY) AND I BOTH ORDERED THE COWBOY RIBEYE. BOTH REQUESTED MEDIUM. NOW, IT THE PAST, MEDIUM ALWAYS CAME A LITTLE BROWN AROUND THE EDGES AWITH A WARM PINK CENTER. NOT THIS NIGHT. I STUCK MY FORM IN IT AND IT WAS STILL MOOING!!! I USUALLY DON'T MIND IF IT'S MORE RARE IN THE CENTER OF THE STEAK BECAUSE I CAN NEVER FINISH A WHOLE STEAK SO HAVING IT ALMOST RARE MEANS WHEN I REHEAT IT, IT WILL STILL BW TENDER AND JUICY! I DIDN'T SEND IT BACK AND I COULDN'T EAT IT BUT I WAS OK! I HAS A CEASER SALAD, BREAD, AND MY LOADED POTATOE. THE STEAK CAME HOME WITH ME. I CUT HALF THAT NIGHT AND REHEATED IT IN THE AIR FRYER AND HAD THE REST YESTERDAY MORNING FOR BREAKFAST WITH EGGS AND HASHBROWNS! TALK ABOUT GOOD! YES, EVEN THOUGH THE STEAK WAS RARER THAT I CARE FOR, IT WAS JUST RIGHT LATER! I STILL SAY 5 STAR! IT TAKES A SPECIAL TALENT TO UNDERCOOK SOMETHING AND IT STILL TASTE REALLY GOOD LATER! LOL“

“The lunch specials here and at the Palm Desert location at the Mall, are really good and offered 7 days a week. Good food and nice choices. Pizzas of course are good but so are the salads, sandwiches and pastas. Sometimes a bit inconsistent but always good . Service is friendly. One of my faves for lunch!“

“The "5 Sisters" that originated from Michigan, meet once a year in California... The California sister and her husband treated us to the Lavender Bistro for Valentines Day. We were met at the door with long stem roses and seated promptly in the outdoor patio. So beautiful, every tree limb was lit up, the waitstaff was very attentive and kind. The Brick walls were lined with blooming bougainvillea, couldn't have been more perfect. The "Set" Menu had something for every taste. Our appetizers and meals were delicious. The 4-piece dessert was a real treat!! I can't wait to visit again!! Thank you Lavender Bistro!!!“

“Took our neighbors for their 40th anniversary. Even though they’ve lived in the valley for multiple decades, they had never been there (which is what I had hoped so as to surprise them). Took us newbies (less than 3 years) to introduce them to one of the valley’s hidden gems. They were captivated and very impressed and appreciative of their dining experience at this lovely setting. Each of us had a different entree and everyone was super pleased with their choice. Our guest has named Melange her new favorite restaurant.“

“We were in from out of town looking for a sports bar and found this place. We got lucky with this one and ended up going 2 nights there. Don't let the name fool you, the Mexican dishes on the menu were outstanding and probably ended up being everyone's favorite items. Wings, Bills R.V. Nachos, Burgers, Enchiladas, Cobb Burger among the favorites. LOTS of TVs, Great Service and never a wait for us. Highly recommend.“

“The servers were very attentive.“

“This place was absolutely great. Steve our server was super friendly and the food was spot on. Will definitely come back again.“

“My husband and I decided to stop in to Red Robin in La Quinta about 2 weeks ago since we have not been there for many years due to our diet. We had a great experience with our server, Edwin. He was the best....on top of everything and more!! We were craving your onion rings and hamburgers, which we do not eat very often....so it was treat. We had to share both items due to our small appetites. We were impressed with how the split was done - different from other restaurants and thanked Edwin as well. It truly made us feel special and with the follow-up and service Edwin provided, we will return more often, and, coming back next week with friends. Thank you!!
