Restaurants near Anza Borrego Desert State Park

We had a wonderful dinner at Arnold Palmer’s. It was a birthday celebration. We enjoyed the food, the service was excellent, with plenty of time for a leisurely meal. We love the outdoor space and the terrific guitar player. All in all, a lovely evening!

Service was amazing Aaron & Anthony were the best vey attentive to our needs . The food was amazing everyone we can in contact with was very professional. The only downside was a little annoying that they came around wanting to take the plates away when eating. Very elegant restaurant! 😇

walking into Lavender is spectacular, the lights the trees on the patio the lavender napkins etc. make a great first impression. It just gets better from there, the service is impeccable the food was very very good. Everything we tried left us in food heaven. We didn’t have a cocktail but the wine list was awesome. I would highly recommend Lavender.

I brought my husband for his birthday. We had received a gift card and so this our first time. I made reservations for 6:30 pm, I was surprised how busy it was for a Monday night. We had to wait about 15 minutes before getting seated, even with a reservation! But once we were seated we were waited on. Our server Natalie was great! She was very friendly and checked in on us several times making sure we were enjoying our meal. There was live entertainment. They even sang happy birthday for my husband. Our meal was delicious! !! The portions were plentiful! My husband received a happy birthday plate with several deserts . We are planning on coming back again for my birthday!!

Great food and beautiful location. Our server Maria was wonderful. We’ll be back’
