    We came here a few years ago, and decided on a spur of the moment to go back. While it was a nice room and lively at 8:15 in the evening, we found the food only average and the service similar. Everything was perfectly adequate (and so this might be a good location for those in the hotel of which it is a part), but if Bandol wants to complete with other restaurants in the near vicinity, their commitment to the restaurant needs to increase.

    Food fairly good, but green beans on nicoise salad a little wilted/overcooked (should still have a bit of crunch). Service a bit slow.

    Very small crowd in the restaurant at lunch but we had to wait 40 minutes for our meal. The sandwich I ordered was not good. The meat was tough. I usually have a better experience. Waiter didn’t seem to be too on top of things!
