    Our foursome had a lovely Christmas evening dinner on the patio. A set dinner menu with several options for starters, entrees and desserts. All were tasty, delicious and perfectly prepared and presented. Service was very good despite the restaurant being very busy with three seatings for dinner. Sebastian our server was excellent being efficient, personable and attentive. Michelle and Nicholas and the father-son owners, are outstanding long-term restauranteurs.

    Everything was very good. The price was high, even for Christmas Day, for turkey dinner.

    We and our friends always enjoy Lavender Bistro. This last Dinner was our third time doing Christmas. We were a bit disappointed in our table which was in the upper patio alongside a tree and crammed in next to the table alongside of us which we had chairs touching back-to-back. The food was excellent, as always and the service was very good. We realize Holidays are extremely busy but based on our previous 2 Christmas dinners, this one was not as good. We will be back next year and only hope we get the same treatment we had our first 2 times.

    Excellent and professional servers. Food is exquisite, large portions. Ambience is magical. Music could be turned down a few notches, talented entertainer, but a bit too loud.
