We found this place on accident and what a happy accident it was. The ambience was relaxing, the food was fresh and the service was impeccable. We had 2 toddlers with us and they enjoyed themselves , they had great food options for them and the loved looking at all the vibrant colors on the patio.

Excellent in every way. Family, Friends or Business gatherings, or a Romantic setting.

Absolutely beautiful enchanting garden bistro with exceptional service, food, cocktails and ambiance! We celebrated our mother's 80th birthday there and it did not disappoint! It's our new favorite restaurant in the desert!

Unreal vibe! Loved the live music! Steak was a little undercooked but they made it right fast!
Opentable Diner
Overall good experience. We were seated back by the kitchen where it felt like they squeezed our 2 top in.
Diana
Great environment. Service was ok. Had to ask multiple times for an item and very hard flagging anyone down to help
Ron
Food was good I ordered the chicken dish the only issue I had the mash potatoes were not the best . Not hot enough and no flavor.
Ronda
Mario did a fantastic job serving us. The Food was delicious, I had the Halibut which was wonderful and my husband had the 8 oz Filet and he said it was cooked perfectly. Had a wonderful evening, so pretty.
Henry
Food was good, but on the expensive side. $275 for two with tip and a couple of drinks is high for wheat was a solid dining experience but not exceptional

We researched and carefully chose a restaurant for our visit to Palm Springs for our 20th anniversary dinner. I had high expectations for this location based on its reviews and recommendations. We were sorely disappointed, unfortunately, and wished the next day that we had chosen differently. We were asked in our reservation if it were a special occasion, and replied “yes”. Upon our arrival and seating, our occasion was not recognized with even a simple “happy anniversary”. We ordered a bottle of wine, which was forgotten. When I ordered it, the server helped me with the selection and still forgot to bring it until reminded at the end of our meal. The restaurant is very pretty, the live music was great, food was average and service lacking. Sadly, they dropped the ball on our anniversary, where the Covered Wagon tour made up for it this evening. If you're going to ask about special occasions, at least acknowledge them. If someone orders a bottle, at least bring it before the meal is finished. For the amount of money a dinner costs, it should be a spectacular dinner. I was sorely disappointed.

Great experience, however staff should disclose split charges and confirm specialty cocktails i.e cognacs.

While Mothers Day is a wonderful day for mom's, this night was less than wonderful. Some fault of Lavender's, but mostly it was the weather. Very hot, even at 7pm, very windy, not the best time to be sitting outside to dine. Who knew, when making reservations! The food was very good, as always, with the one exception of rancid butter. When bread and butter was served, the butter should have been cold, especially because it was probably our hottest day so far this summer. (100 degrees plus). It was very, very soft and one taste of it and I knew it was not good. The rest of our meal selections were fine. I've been many times to Lavender Bistro (a very magical place) and while they treated all the ladies to a lovely white rose as we entered, it was a disappointment but not all the fault of the restaurant. As always, the music was too loud on the patio. Difficult to carry on conversations, even though I requested and received seating away from the live music. In summary, would I return to Lavender, yes, but probably not on a special holiday.
