Best Live Music Restaurants in Idyllwild

The food was great, ambience was great and the service great. Our server, Daniel, was outstanding. Great experience. This restaurant has become our family special events place.

Be aware that during the holiday season there are a lot of large noisy groups that take away the special ambiance of Arnie's. Better to come in last spring and early fall or book a later time to eat like after 8:00.

I love this place. I sat on the front porch and it was nicely heated. I ordered the Cacio e Pepe which was good but had SO much garlic. I don’t think this dish usually has garlic. I also randomly added rib eye steak as it was an add on. I like that this place is dog friendly. Unfortunately there was a screaming child next to my table. I honestly think it’s too fancy for kids.

Our first time to Lavender’s, and we throughly enjoyed our evening experience. We were greeted by managers as we entered, took us to the patio and thanked us for being there, that’s a surprise these days! Great service by all the staff, nice live music and the atmosphere was comfortable. Nice menu, served as we requested and didn’t feel rushed. It was a birthday dinner for my wife and they had a nice card and little gift at our table. We plan to make Lavender’s part of our ‘rotation’ for dinner spots……

Walked in & got sat down immediately . High five on Xmas day!! Thanks for going the extra mile… it counts a lot in the long run. Drinks are pricey but they look pretty 🏆 It’s a fun place that’s hidden in plain sight 🫶❤️
