Restaurants near Salton Sea Beach Marina

Food was delicious. Service a little slow, especially getting initial beverages. Our request for seating was granted, which was very nice. Ambiance seemed a little more chaotic than normal but recognized there was some new staff training going on. Overall, lively evening and we will be back.

Be aware that during the holiday season there are a lot of large noisy groups that take away the special ambiance of Arnie's. Better to come in last spring and early fall or book a later time to eat like after 8:00.

It’s hard to beat the atmosphere …we have been coming here for over 20 years. Service was ok, and the food was well prepared and presented. Not much zip to the food or the margaritas. We’ll still come back, but I wish the food was as good as it was in years past.

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……

The six of us all agreed that every bite of our delicious meal at Kiki’s was a revelation. Flavors were complex and delicate, but vibrant. How is that possible?  We shared two kinds of light, puffy pizza, a salad, a pasta and the clams.  We can’t wait to experience everything on the delightful menu.
