Dining

With so many spectacular restaurants in the area, it may be hard to choose. Let us direct you toward some of our favorites. Whether you’re craving premium cuts from a classic steakhouse, the laid-back atmosphere of a tropical café, or the umami that can only come from sushi, these restaurants offer a wide variety of culinary experiences.

Moving forward we do and will have our in-house chef “on call” for special events, private dinners, luncheons, and outdoor BBQ’s. We can create a custom menu to fit your budget.

Chef Omar’s menu items range from grilled Kobe steak & Australian lobster tail, Chilean Sea bass en papillote, to authentic street tacos and custom flatbreads baked lakeside in our outdoor pizza oven.

We also can host a totally private and romantic “dinner for two” lakeside for that special occasion. We have a full bar located in our indoor/outdoor lobby as well as a state of the art temperature controlled wine dispenser loaded with carefully selected wines, from French “old world” to our “local” California must haves.

Please contact our general manager with any private dining, group events or casual gatherings you would like to host at our beautiful Chateau at Lake La Quinta.
