    Outdoor seating area at Melange, very relaxing.
    Rick J.

    What a great day, lunch, birthday celebration kind of thing. We just dropped in after a Taylor Swift movie and had a fantastic time. Our server Brittney was simply so professional and accommodating. We had her prior helping us and she is always super cool. You Go Brittney! YELP SHORT ANSWER: yes, Yes, YES visit this out of the way special place located on Lake La Quinta just off of Washington. This is also a hotel which looks really nice. LOCATION: a little hard to find which makes it all that much more special. Quiet and on the water. Tons of indoor and outdoor seating but no too much parking. FACILITY: Not really sure what it is but it's nice. A bit eclectic with a European theme I think, it really does not matter as it is nice yet aging a little. MENU: A lot of great choices you will find something no matter you food status or appetite. FOOD PREP: Pretty standard and fine, nothing fancy which works. At dinner they kick it up a notch. It just all works. FOOD QUALITY: Always very good. I have not had and fancy menu items here so cannot comment but I would not hesitate to order anything here. WAITSTAFF: Did I mention Brittney? The servers were very nice and really seemed to leave people alone to relax and take in the views and enjoy a little chill time. Everyone on this last visit were so happy and fun, that is what we all need and grumpy customers go fix yourself. OVERALL VALUE: For sure not inexpensive but well worth the price, in fact this place has become one of out go-to options outside of Old Town LQ. TIP: Parking and giant SUV can be challenge so get there early or late and it should not be a problem.

    We love this place! Great happy hour from 3-5pm, don't mind if I do! Food is great! Service is great! The ambiance is fantastic, especially for November. In Washington we're already huddled indoors waiting for May/June to arrive.

    Such a lovely quaint place. I loved our stay and great service. I had the bacon and cheese omelette and sat by the fireplace, it was the best omelette I've had in a long time. I highly recommend!!!

    Outdoor area

    Cozy ambiance with a European vibe. Love that it's right in the lake. It really is a hidden gem! I didn't even know this was in this spot! The food was good (fish tacos were amazing), drinks were refreshing, service was great. I'd love to come try brunch sometime.

    Had dinner inside the chateaus restaurant Mario was outstanding he gave us info about the property the food was so good! I had the fish tacos during happy hour . The lake side outdoor view was beautiful. Will return again.

    This restaurant exudes romance it is a fantastic restaurant to go to as a couple as a group , for a birthday or just a wonderful place to grab a glass of wine and watch the sunset over the lakes... The food is very fresh. The service here is so welcoming. It's located inside the château boutique hotel on the lakes. So charming...

    We were in the area for the Farmers Market and decided to grab lunch here with friends. It's quite…read morea large restaurant and it was packed when we were there. We didn't have reservations and requested to be seated inside. There was a little awkward first impression with the hostess who told us that there was only one inside table left in the back corner. She didn't come across very friendly when we asked if we could see it before deciding if we wanted to sit there or not. I understand they were busy but she was a bit short with us. We were seated in Isabel's section and she more than made up for it. What a gem! She was so friendly and very nice. She made sure to check on us often and we had a lovely time at your restaurant because of her. We are giving this review 5 stars because of Isabel. The seared ahi tuna salad and the ahi tuna nachos were both delicious. The fish was fresh and so very tender with a light dressing. The pulled pork tacos were good too. The brownie dessert was a bit dry though.

    I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was bad enough that I feel obligated to warn others…read more My fiancé ordered a Cobb salad, which should be one of the safest, most straightforward items on any menu. Instead, she bit into a sharp chicken bone hidden in the salad--something that absolutely should never happen. This wasn't a small, soft fragment either; it was sharp enough to cause immediate, severe pain and pierced her gums. This is not just a minor oversight--it's a major failure in basic food safety and kitchen preparation. There is no excuse for serving food in this condition, especially something as simple as a salad. We trusted this restaurant to provide a safe meal, and that trust was completely broken. What makes this even worse is that the situation could have been far more dangerous. If swallowed, this could have led to choking or internal injury. No customer should ever have to worry about that when ordering a salad. I strongly urge the restaurant to take a hard look at their food prep standards and quality control, because this is unacceptable. Until then, I cannot recommend this place to anyone.

Always tried the house pasta - which was very flavorful with hints of lemon cream as a back-note. The drinks are crafted with intense flavors and tasty mixes. The whiskey sour is spot on with the flavors and topped with egg whites. Relax and slow down and enjoy this restaurant. Service is always great. Friendly staff which aren't afraid to talk with you and enjoy a quick smile or conversation. It's a must spot and you will be repeating this restaurant.

Kiki's Sala: salanova lettuce is unusual but tasty -- like arugula without the bitterness. This is a large portion which you could share with four people as an appetizer. Sugar Snap Pea pizza: unexpected flavors with snap peas, mushrooms, & stracciatella. Table was divided on whether this worked. Cacio e Pepe: this version uses bucatini and is a little creamier than the classic. I ate it all regardless. Grilled Avocado: the name ignores that it includes fried artichokes as well. Satisfying and not too garlicky. Another large portion. The only disappointing item was the Polenta -- a little bland. If you get the Chicken Parm, you only need a half portion. Jack says the best two dishes are the Caesar and Linguini & Clams. They fly in Juniors cheesecake from NY! Full bar, attractive ambiance, and well trained staff. Go to Kiki's.

What really impressed us was the owner making the rounds to personally greet each table--it added such a personal, heartfelt touch that you don't often see. As for the food, it absolutely delivered. The chicken parm was perfectly cooked with rich, comforting flavors, and the hanger steak was tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Between the exceptional service and the delicious dishes, this was one of those meals that leaves you already planning your next visit.

The server was fast and friendly. We ordered the stuffed dates and the burrata. The olive tapenade with the burrata was so tasty. We practically licked the bowl clean. We quickly ran out of the little toasts but ate the olives with the arugula from the medjool dates. For mains we order a half order of the short ribs and the prawn pasta. The prawns were pretty large. The pasta was a little too al dente for me and the sauce had a very strong wine taste that got old pretty quickly. The short rib was so tender and flavorful, but the Brussels were also just a tad too rare. Overall it was a nice meal but kinda pricey for two people for the dishes to not be perfect.

I erroneously assumed spaghetti flavored with garlic, white wine, butter, herbs, & preserved lemon would be delicious. Large, tough (& again, tasteless) prawns topped the bowl of noodles that seem to stick together from a lack of sauce. Our gracious waitress removed the dish from our bill after seeing it had barely been touched. Her efforts did not go unnoticed; we generously tipped her for taking the initiative to rectify an unsatisfactory situation. We sat on the covered patio facing the giant rock formation; a unique dining experience, but one that felt Disney-ish rather than elegant. La Quinta Cliffhouse gets a hard pass from me.
