Lavender Bistro Description:
Youthful but experienced management (co-owner Nicolas Despras is the son of Indian Wells' Le St. Germain owner Michel Despras) has combined with a skilled chef, Alsace-born Emmanuel Janin, eager to make his mark with an affordable but ambitious menu. The result is a lively, relaxed but elegant place where the food is simultaneously interesting and comforting. There's a little bit of bistro French, a little bit of fusion, a lot of Mediterranean, and it is above all Californian---Southern Californian. A tasty bar menu ensures a thriving happy hour. For serious eating, start with the chef's duo of house-smoked salmon with salmon rillette, the foie gras crème brûlée or the charcuterie plate, then follow with a moist brined pork chop with pineapple and kumquat chutney or the miso-glazed salmon.
