Best Seasonal Restaurants in La Quinta

Excellent food selections and great presentation by staff/everyone enjoyed their meals especially the VealParmigan and linguine and clams🎅

Especially for the first day of Winter, it was wonderful to have dinner at The Pink Cabana. The lights adorning the pool area, the outdoor fire pits and the interior design created perfect ambience. The menu and service were excellent as always.

Our family had the pleasure of dining at Kestrel, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped in, we were enchanted by the restaurant’s ambiance. The stylish yet comfortable decor, paired with breathtaking views, set the tone for an evening of indulgence and delight. The menu at Kestrel is a masterpiece of creativity, with dishes that intrigue and satisfy. To start, I ordered a Medjool Negroni—an innovative twist on the classic cocktail that was as smooth as it was flavorful. The beet salad that followed was generously portioned, easily enough to share, and beautifully presented. For starters, we chose the Crab Hash Brown and Hamachi, both of which were unexpected yet delightful in their flavor profiles. The Hearts of Palm Caesar Salad was a refreshing, modern take on a classic, bursting with vibrant textures and taste. My husband’s prime rib stole the show—it was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, and he declared it among the best in town. Every bite lived up to the high expectations set by the restaurant’s reputation. The service was equally outstanding. A special shoutout to Mo, who ensured our experience was seamless and enjoyable. Their attentiveness and knowledge elevated our evening to a truly memorable one. Kestrel is not just a restaurant; it’s a destination for food lovers. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking an exceptional meal, this is the place to be. We can’t wait to return and explore more of their imaginative offerings!

We absolutely love the ambience at Arnold Palmers. Three dining style options (all the same menu) promise there’s something for everyone. The elegant bar is classy but casual. The dining room is elegant and more formal. The Patio is the place to be! Soft, live instrumental music every night, an amazing fire pit that provides warmth and ambiance. Beautiful views too! The food never disappoints. The menu has variety and everything is homemade. Service is always great! Professional, personal and extremely accommodating! Our favorite date night restaurant.

The sunset supper is so perfect for a special event or a lovely meal out. The food is exceptional and well presented. Not a huge serving but just the right size for an early meal. Wednesday 1/2price bottles of wine is the icing on the cake !!! Service is so well done. We didn’t feel rushed and completely enjoyed our meal and had an amazing ice cream wedge cake dessert to share. Always a highlight while we ate in the desert. Well done keeping this special meal going. Thank you-!!!🙏
