They have clearly added too many tables as it's crowded, yet we had to wait about 20 min after arrival for our reservation (on time) to get seated and then we never saw our assigned server, one of the managers seemed to take care of us. I know they mean well, but it was not great service. Clearly they are understaffed and taking too many reservations for the time allotted.

                                                              Lavendou is one of our favorite restaurants and we've been coming here for 20+ years. We went last night for my birthday and were sadly disappointed. One word... cold. I had the escargot, which is normally too hot to handle and it was tepid when I touched it. I then had the tenderloin and the vegetables were down right chilled rather than freshly cooked and I did not touch them. The tenderloin on the other hand was perfect. My wife had the apple tart, her go-to as it is delicious and when I tried it... it was also cold. I had the chocolate souffle and it was also cold even though the waiter kept telling us it is just two minutes away. Very disappointed and it really put a damper on the evening. Not sure what happened as this is not typical for Lavendou but maybe there were issues in the kitchen or the waiter just forgot about us (we arrived at 5:30 for a early dinner). Obviously at that time, the kitchen was not that busy. We will keep coming back to our favorite but I hope they get their kitchen together in the future. Luckily I was not bringing clients in or extended family.

                                                              I never leave reviews but this restaurant deserves it because everything from the service to the food and especially the food was outstanding. We were there for my wife’s birthday, it was our first time there, and she said it was the best birthday dinner ever. Also want to give a special thanks to Jean Philip who was serving us that night he did an outstanding job.
