    We eat here a lot, and experience is usually wonderful. The service was not fantastic this time, which is unusual. It has always been spectacular.

    Well, I had requested a table by the fountain and we were almost the first people to arrive, and the restaurant was still empty. However, the hostess put us way in the back. We couldn’t even see the entertain we r not the fountain. U mentioned that yo the hostess when she was seating us, and that I had requested a table by the fountain, all of which were still empty, and she just shrugged and said that the table where she was seating us was fine for us. I took that as an insult. I have been coming to this restaurant for decades now and have never had an issue until now.

    Sadly, this was one of the worst meals we’ve had. In no way should it be over $120 for two meals + 1 cocktail with how awful everything was. We had a total of 4 table touches from the time we sat down.

    Our family came here for dinner and enjoyed Lavender Bistro very much. Trees wrapped with lights, gave a lovely vibe to the outdoor patio. Plenty of heaters though it wasn’t very cold outside. The food was delicious. Service was great in spite of having no open tables so, the wait staff really hustled to get everyone served. We will definitely return.
