    First time dining here and our first thought when we walked in, met the manager at the desk, and then seated to the outdoor patio was “ wow”. The patio is the most beautiful outdoor dining patio we have dined at. Our waiter was somewhat attentive, because he did have many big tables to tend to, however we enjoyed our wait and he gave us menu suggestions, which we ordered. The waiter was spot on We loved our meals, enjoyed the cocktails, and even ordered desert, which we rarely order, and it was all excellent. Definitely will be back in our next trip to Palm Springs.

    Booked a table for two to celebrate my wife’s birthday, we’re seated at the back of the outdoor dining next to the waiter area. Food and ambiance were spectacular the service on the other hand was abysmal. We were rushed out in 1:15min, waiter may have spoke to us for 60 seconds in total. No how are you doing, celebrating anything special, no overview of the menu with any specials. Just what do you want for a drink? Are you ready to order now? Have you looked at desert menu? Here is the bill! Was very disappointed in service but we will be back as I am assuming it was a bad service experience as we have dined here many times before.

    Lavender is always a magical setting. The service is always very good. It was our anniversary and friends joined us. We all enjoyed our meal. The special was sea bass and it was delicious.

    This is a very special restaurant in Old Town La Quinta. I took my wife out for her birthday and it just doesn’t disappoint. A varied menu. Prepared to perfection. Wonderful presentation in a fabulous ambiance.

    Lavender was a wonderful experience. From the time we were seated through the point in time that we finished our coffee, we enjoyed every minute of it. Highly recommended!

    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……
