Restaurants near Indio Fashion Mall Shopping Center

Our Anniversary and Thanksgiving fell on the same day this year. Due to Lavender Bistro's reputation for amazing cuisine and our dinner date was on Thanksgiving, the place was very crowded. Even so, the hostesses and servers were very cheerful, and efficient. Our table was beside one of the beautifully lighted trees. It was hard to decide which appetizer and entree on the menu to pick, since they all looked delicious. We were pleased with our choices. We will definitely be returning.

My family and I went to Thanksgiving dinner and it was out of this world. The variety of meats, seafood, salads, sides, drinks, cheeses, bread and desserts: wow, so delicious. The service was excellent. The ambience was so nice. Not crowded. That was my first time having Thanksgiving at a restaurant and it might be our new tradition. We can’t wait to go back! There’s no place like Jackalope Ranch. Thank you Charlie for giving our 6 year old grandson a Jackalope baseball cap. It was fun talking to you.

The pre-Thanksgiving, prix fixe menu was good. Most of the food was perfectly cooked. The butternut squash soup was AMAZING. The salads were super good, mine being quite unique with a goat cheese-beet spread smeared on the bottom of the bowl. My partner had the prime rib which was perfectly cooked, but a bit bland. I had the Branzino which was PERFECT. Melted in your mouth. The pies themselves were good, but the crust was kind of awful. Very floury. The only real complaint I had was the price of the drinks, I know we chose a higher end whiskey, but not THAT higher end - $36/ea for an old fashioned was a lot!! Either way, I’d go again. Looking forward to trying their Italian food!

WOW what a terrific dinner! We celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary and chose the Cliffhouse. Denise our server was warm and gracious, and our dinner was exceptional. I had the filet mignon, which was tasty and cooked to perfection, and my husband had the Wagu strip steak, and it was amazing. He also had the Ceaser salad and said it was the best one he has had and he orders them wherever we go. Praise to the new Executive Chef who has elevated the food to new heights!

Wonderful meal. Waitress was excellent. Did asked to be moved to the main dining room instead of a back area with big parties with kids we were placed with initially, and they accommodated within 10 minutes.
