   Fun place. Food was good, not great, but a fun and lively atmosphere. Pricing is higher than I would expect for a place like this.

   Excellent establishment, but unfortunately it was a winter holiday weekend and the place was jam packed. The noise level was at its highest and unfortunately, our main waiter was very clear how over worked and busy he was that weekend. I empathized, but it dampened the service. The team surrounding him was excellent as always!

   We really look forward to dining at Lavender and it’s my wife’s favorite dinner spot. Disappointed they cram so many people on V-day, we had so squeeze past 30 people just to get to our table. The quality of food nowhere near what they usually are. Our server was very nice but probably covering too many tables. Not a great experience on an evening that should be a very memorable one.

   We were abandoned by our server and did not get our food until over an hour after ordering. One order of sea bass was under cooked in the middle. We will not go back.

   I can't help you. Everything was perfect!!! Well, it was rather pricey. But, that's ok. It was worth it. There wasn't one thing on the menu that I wouldn't have enjoyed. Thank you for being "The Best".

   Valentine Day had a prefixed menu. It was a little pricy for the options. The food was horrible. Oysters were cold, tasted bad, short ribs were cold and over done. Dessert was fine. If it wasn’t for our waiter the night would have been a disaster. He was the best part. Overall I’ll think twice about spending $350 for dinner here again. I’d rather go to LG’s, Ruth’s Chris or Eddie V’s.

   We have loved eating at Lavender over the years but we were so disappointed by our experience on Valentine's Day. We were seated at a table between live music and the doorway to the kitchen - it was loud and the wait staff was zooming by our table every minute. I don't think we were assigned a waiter. It took way too long to order a glass of wine, even longer to order our meal and we were never offered dessert, a refill of water or bread. After waiting nearly 45 minutes between our main meal and dessert we finally tracked somebody down to just get our bill - of course they were happy to bring that quite quickly. When we mentioned we were never offered dessert they offered to box it up. They ended up comping our wine. We will be finding a new special place in the desert for our next date night and birthday celebrations.

    A magical outdoor patio with fairy lights and live music. The halibut special was delicious. Service was not rushed but attentive and friendly. We can’t wait to go back.
