    It was our third visit to Lavender and as expected the ambience and service staff were outstanding. Most meals were fine..the short ribs were a little dry but tasty, but the mussels were such a disappointment. The broth tasted like tepid unseasoned broth. We brought this to the waiters attention and he did not charge us for the mussels. It must have been the head chefs day off!

    Our waiter Steve was subpar. We waited for 45 minutes before he asked us our menu choices or even if we wanted an appetizer. We’ve already gone through two baskets of bread. The lobster ravioli tasted like it was in tomato soup. And pass on the shrimp Louie salad, it is definitely not worth it. Only two out of six people had wine, and none of the other wine glasses were ever cleared along with none of the extra plates.

    Lavender bistro checks all the boxes! The menu is limited, but the choices are varied. This is not a discount restaurant, but delivers exceptional ambience, service, and meals… You definitely get what you paid for!

    Excellent butternut squash risotto for a vegan option! It’s wonderful when a restaurant can cater food for everyone! Loved the vegan Parmesan crisp! And, the ambience is magical.

    Wonderful birthday dinner with friends. It was their first time to dine at Lavender… everything about the evening surpassed their expectations. The musician playing background music was especially talented and added to the ambiance of a perfect evening! 💜

    walking into Lavender is spectacular, the lights the trees on the patio the lavender napkins etc. make a great first impression. It just gets better from there, the service is impeccable the food was very very good. Everything we tried left us in food heaven. We didn’t have a cocktail but the wine list was awesome. I would highly recommend Lavender.

    The Ambience was exceptional. The Pork chop and the halibut specials were both overdone. I spoke to the owner( Nickolas) and he said they will work on it. Probably not going back.
