Best French Restaurants in La Quinta

A terrific Valentines's day menu with many French cuisine options along with a variety of food choices. The service (Jose) was 5-star and he food, the presentation and the timeliness of service were stellar. We had a wonderful table in the main dining area that enhanced an already-wonderful experience. Delicious and perfectly prepared dishes. Highly recommended!

My husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day at this, our favorite romantic restaurant. I had the duck prosciutto salad and Monty had the beet timbale - both were excellent. For mains I had the roasted rack of lamb and he had the beef filet. They were delicious and prepared perfectly. We ended with the key lime and the cherry/pistachio - a perfect ending to a spectacular meal.

Loved the restaurant, the food and the service. Prices, especially given the fact it was Valentine's Day, were very reasonable. They kept to the original menu with a few added specials which was refreshing. Most places go to a restricted menu with elevated prices. My only negative comment concern how they do or don't inform diners of certain prices. Server asks if you'd like bread & butter. Your response is "Sure" because it's complimentary but not here. It's a $5.00 up charge. Reasonable, yes, but totally unexpected. All menu items are reasonable priced and well prepared. They have a nice wine list, heavy on French wines (figures) but at very competitive prices. All in all I'd say this is a dining delight that we'll come back to again and again all the while remembering there's no free breand and butter.

This is a charming restaurant that you must try. Great food, amazing wait staff and the ambiance is beyond amazing.

We have dined at Cork Tree several times and have always enjoyed our visit. The sea bass and short rib are excellent. They also have a shrimp and scallops special sometimes and it is very good as well. The oatmeal cookie tini is also great for a desert drink. Service is always on point. Try Cork Tree and I think you’ll will like it.
