tl;dr overpriced bad food, cheap decor, bad service
Upon arriving, no one is to be found at the entrance, forcing you to step deeper into the restaurant to flag down a hostess. The menus are worn and tattered. The decor is tacky and cheap.
The menu options are disappointing. All they offer are your standard soups, garden or Ceasar salad, your standard sides, and some sandwiches/burgers. The nachos were woefully underdressed, having clumps of unmelted cheap cheese peppered throughout. The sandwiches were served on a Costco ciabatta bun. But most egregious of all, the pictured shrimp dish which had 2 skewers of 4 shrimps, a half of a steamed carrot, one sprig of asparagus, and microwaved mashed potatoes cost $40! Forty dollars for 8 medium sized shrimps is criminal.
The service was terrible, requiring us to flag down the server to give us sufficient plates and menus. When it came time to pay, we all got the wrong bills, and after two attempts at correcting the server, we gave up and sorted it out amongst ourselves.
Avoid at all costs.

Cool experience but not the best food in my opinion, maybe it was just an off night but fries tasted like they were reheated and the fish was looked processed
Had a great experience at lavender grill! Marika was so lovely and the food was delicious!

I brought my university aged daughter there for her birthday. Impressive atmosphere themed in lavender plants and colours. Waiter was a bit rushed but friendly and, ultimately, effective. Lovely place for tables is 12 or more and there were several large tables there. We were only 4 guests and dressed plainly enough but many of our fellow diners were decked out well. A little loud with the front garage style doors open and the music from the bar across the street but the weather was nice and it was still better with doors open. Prices were reasonable for the menu at hand and the food was beer good. Everything did have a dabble of lavender and, while good, I did not think it made the meal better but I knew it would be part of the meal and I did enjoy it. I do recommend this lovely restaurant.

Server recommended the eggs Benedict. I usually try it everywhere I go as a sort of restaurant litmus test. This was the best I've ever had.
Had a good time, Marika was the best ! Will definitely come back :)

Wow! First time at Lavender Grill, and Merika took good care of us. Great recommendations ranging from the appetizers to the main course. Our group is very happy we chose to have our good friend’s birthday here. This is not just another aesthetic spot. Good food and even better service. We will be back soon!
