- SStevenVIPNashville •73 reviews5.0Dined todayWe had a reservation for 6:30 after seeing a movie in a theater. The movie ran long and at 6:40 I called to explain my situation and they told us to come anyway. To my surprise, when we arrived, there was not even a whiff of dissatisfaction, and nothing resembling hostility, despite the fact that they were nearly full. The menu, service, food quality, and ambience were all excellent. As in most restaurants, it was a little too loud for my tolerance.  We will certainly be back.More infoDSRT CLUBPrice: Expensive• American• La Quinta•4.8

- SshannanPalm Springs / Palm Desert Cities •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThe patio is definitely where you want to be! We were seated right by the entry and the musician, which was just a little loud, but it was still a very enjoyable time. The drinks were delicious (basil and jalapeño infused whiskey sour and a raspberry vodka lemonade). The warm goat cheese salad and French onion soup were great starters. My boyfriend had the kurobuta pork chop and I had the sesame crusted ahi. Both were amazing and very nice portions! Finished with the butter cake - perfect to share! Will definitely be back.More infoLavender BistroPrice: Expensive• Californian• La Quinta•4.6
