Restaurants near Lake Cahuilla Regional Park

We had a wonderful time at Ernie’s. Food was delicious and the service was superior. Beautiful venue! One hostess was friendly one wasn’t.  We plan to go back soon. 

The patio is a beautiful large seating area. Excellent live guitar entertainment. The server was efficient and on the spot when we needed something. I had the famous Arnold Palmer meat loaf. It’s served with mashed potatoes and green beans. Topped with BBQ sauce. It’s always delicious. My friend had the double rib pork chop. It was tender and delicious also. We had the chopped salad. The food was hot when served. The restaurant was packed as usual. You must make reservations through Open Table well in advance. We think this is the best outside patio for dining in the valley. We are never disappointed here.

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.

An excellent dining experience. Limited menu but QUALITY food and service. Outside dining is the perfect desert ambience. Highly recommend the chips, salsa and exceptional guacamole ! Chicken fajitas were delicious. Don’t miss this restaurant when you’re in La Quinta California.

We were very pleased. Excellent food; creative, fresh and delicious! Staff were very accommodating and friendly. The ceilings very high so noise level was low. Interesting Hollywood prints on walls. Loved it.
