Lavendou, a retreat into the French countryside - a place where life is savored as much as the food. Lavendou is thoroughly French, from the inviting decor to the gracious service and authentic cuisine. But don't expect it to be pretentious. Owner Pascal Cayet is dedicated to providing service that is friendly and efficient. And you will find Chef François Soyez's menu to be deliciously approachable. Serving the lighter fare of Southern France, Lavendou offers many items to tempt your taste buds.

Exceptional service, and the food was beyond the highest standards available. The veal was superb. Escargot aromatic. The wine list was excellent and comprehensive. Our server spoke perfect French and English and probably another language too. Host was cordial and checked on us twice. We will be back. Delicious food and exceptional service.

Overall pretty disappointing. Tea “service” was a pot of black tea (no choice given), didn’t appear to be loose leaf nor do they poor it for you just kind of put it in the table and walked away. Sandwichs on plain white bread (ham, cucumber and chicken salad) and pastries were fairly uninspired. Service was fairly minimal, I had to keep reminding them I had asked for a drink and a dessert menu. I didn’t expect it to be the French room but i definitely had a bit higher hopes.
