If you are thinking of using Le Pavillon for a big gathering make sure they provide enough staff. Cocktails service was slow or non existent for some. I filled my own water glass multiple times. I felt the waitress was grouchy. She would cut you off at mid sentence if you had a question. I'm sure she was overwhelmed. Most of the food was good. Some dishes came out without sauce. Another aggravation was you had to split the bill into 5 checks or less. When we tried to split, it was hard for the waitress to determine what dish went on who's bill. Desaster! I have had dinner here in the past and was always happy. IDK...large parties are a pain I guess.
We went here because we had been here a few years ago and enjoyed it. This time we found entrees to be pricey and the food ordinary. Had the wedge salad which was disappointing. Came in a huge bowl and was about one quarter of a head of iceberg lettuce in a wedge, not cut at all, with very little of the ingredients listed on the menu with it. The lettuce had to be attacked with a knife before being able to eat the salad. We had to ask for the buns which other tables were given and they came without butter. Also had to ask for salt and pepper. The French onion soup and the pork schnitzel entree were adequate. The service was good - no complaints there. In general it wasn't as good as we thought it would be.
Ooo la la! Lovely dinner of appetizers tonight. I have been a little under the weather and wanted some good French onion soup and that's exactly what I found at Le Pavilion. Everything is locally sourced and made from scratch in house and you can taste their passion and love of food in their dishes. We had them bring everything at once. I got my onion soup with a Florentine crepe. My companion got the cream of potato, bacon and onion soup and the Boar sausage appetizer. They layered the flavors so well! The decor was warm French country with hardwood floors and lace curtains. Our server was a knowledgeable college student who was attentive and charming. We will definitely be back to explore more of this fine restaurant's offerings.
Loved the rack of lamb. It was the best we have EVER had! Our server, Amy was a sweetheart. We will recommend this place to all who need a special treat.
