    All good except it was cold. Heater near us was not working well. Apparently they did not have another to bring over.

    Waiter and another employee was more concerned with their conversation they were having rather than doing their job. Had to stop food runners to have our water glass filled because our waiter was deep in his conversation. Ordered the pork chop the only thing on my plate that was warm was the chop. The mashed potato’s and asparagus was cold. This was an anniversary dinner for my wife and I and I was really disappointed. Waiter must have had an issue with me ( I didn’t have any dealings with him other than ordering) he would only address my wife, and actually gave her the check. Really unprofessional. I feel you go there and pay for the ambience and service. They FAILED at service, and the food was subpar compared to the cost. On app two entrées. And two drinks over 200 with tip. Not going back.

    Lavender Bistro has never disappointed me. Their greeting from entering the restaurant, to dining is exceptional. They definitely have a deep hospitality mind. The menu is diverse and delivers in presentation and taste.

    This is a beautiful setting with unique dishes. Try the Bone Marrow and make sure you try the specials.

    Excellent overall but my friend ordered his steak frites medium well and it was served medium rare at best. Sent back to kitchen and it came out well done. Needless to say, disappointing.
