Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in La Quinta

Enzo’s is a real treat. The bar foods are limited but really tasty- eggplant stacks and Carolina pizza are super good. The service is friendly and efficient. The happy hour specials are a great deal.

First time dining. Just pulling up the driveway and seeing the beautiful Christmas tree was a precursor to an absolutely lovely evening. We sat at a table by the bar enjoying solo, piano player and vocals. Bryant doubled as waiter and bartender. He his team could not have been more tremendous. The food was exceptional, especially the cauliflower appetizer & Faroe Islands Salmon. Highly, highly recommend. 

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.

There’s nothing like the Adobe Grill at La Quinta Resorts any time of year, but especially at Christmastime! It’s lovely to sit outside, under a heat lamp, and enjoy the delicious food and soak in the festive ambience. Most of us ordered Mole (Chicken entree & Enchilada entree) since that’s their signature recipe, and one of us ordered the Sea Bass, which was exquisite! Start with the guacamole — it’s simply a MUST! The service staff is delightful — everyone is professional, helpful & friendly.

The whole dining experience was beautiful. The patio lights, holiday decorations, server and live music was perfect. Our dinners which included Rib Eye special Was fabulous and so well presented. I would definitely make this my #1 place to go for special occasions.
