Honestly, I go to Ernie's because of the ambience. I love just sitting at the bar watching sports, I love sitting on the patio watching folks golf, I like spotting a Bighorn Ram every once in a while, and I like the service. I am a pretty generous reviewer because I know that people most times try really hard to make their business a success, but at the same time I know that folks want to have honest reviews about a restaurant. With that said, the food here is simply mediocre and I'm a little irritated every time I get the check because I can't believe how much I'm paying for food that just isn't that tasty. But then again, like I said, I don't come for the food.

Had a great lunch today at Ernie’s. New menu options were all very tasty. Had a vegan spiced soup, salmon with buckwheat noodles and the winter salad. All delicious. Great service, beautiful views.

It has been years since we ate at Ernie's. We are there with our Realtor when we closed on our home here 7 years ago and it was ok, not great. We are there Saturday after a hot afternoon of golf, and were blown away. Sat on the deck, watched the evening deepen and really enjoyed it.
Good selection of beer, a full bar, a really nice restaurant with a wide menu and it was worth the visit.
I had the Kobe Sliders with Caramelized onions. They were wonderful. Also had the fries with it, and they literally blew us away. Like spectacular. The fries were not typical, the were plump and hot and just outstanding.
The Swordfish Tacos were well done, tasty and generous. Also had a margarita pizza that was not terrible, but not same quality as the rest of the meal.
We were the last people there, and the wait staff was gracious and patient with us.
It was their last week before they shut for the summer and a remodel.

Our new go-to place in La Quinta. Tucked in the middle of PGA West this restaurant inside the clubhouse has a nice casual vibe. No need to be dressed-up like some clubs. They have a good variety of food from salads to burgers to sandwiches and even tacos.

When it's cool enough we sit out on the patio and watch the golfers. Inside they have a lot of booths -- some with nice views of the greens and a giant open square bar for seating.

The Tomato, mozzarella and avocado salad was tremendously good. We had the Meat lovers flatbread which tasted out of this world with their hickory smoked bacon.

We'll be back soon

Packed house because the food is great, service is fantastic but the thumping, horrible music made our evening awful. We asked the server to turn it down but the bartender refused. The entire restaurant was literally yelling across their tables. Truly a horrible experience. There are so many great restaurants around LaQuinta, spend your money somewhere else and enjoy it. We were not the only ones complaining.
UPDATE: The manager came over and we asked her to turn down the dance club music. Her reply was basically the bartender chooses a station, whatever plays they can't control and we were the only ones who complained. Wrong answer! The people behind us turned around and left because of the noise. Our waiter said many customers found the music distasteful and too loud. We won't be back.
