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.

I had the pasta dish with chicken that was wonderful. My husband had one of his favorite dishes, the filet of sole with crabmeat that is always cooked perfectly. We enjoyed a nice bottle of Bordeaux. Pascal and his staff provide excellent service every time we dine there.

Normally the dining experience at Lavendou is 5 stars. The food & service were excellent as usual. However, we were seated adjacent to a large party of 12+ people. Between their loud talking & their standing & moving from table to table, made for a less than a desirable experience. A party of that size should have been isolated away from the other diners.

The cassoulet was wonderful, and my husband's veal was tender and delicious. We also enjoyed a nice Bordeaux. We always enjoy Lavendou and the excellent service.

The food was good as always. But the service was not. 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.
