    Well-measured, well-mixed cocktails. Generous food portions. Awesome closing manager. We will be back. The Hemingway Daquiri was phenomenal … so was the elderflower martini. Seriously good drinks.

    The restaurant is very well appointed. The server was excellent, took the order efficiently and also the bartender made a drink that was not currently on the menu but was mentioned in someone else's review. The hamburger ordered by my companion was cooked well and very good. The french fries were oily. I ordered the shrimp and lobster ravioli in vodka sauce. The ravioli was filled and not skimpy with the seafood not overcooked. The vodka sauce was thick and not creamy but the flavor was nice.

    We came here a few years ago, and decided on a spur of the moment to go back. While it was a nice room and lively at 8:15 in the evening, we found the food only average and the service similar. Everything was perfectly adequate (and so this might be a good location for those in the hotel of which it is a part), but if Bandol wants to complete with other restaurants in the near vicinity, their commitment to the restaurant needs to increase.

    Food fairly good, but green beans on nicoise salad a little wilted/overcooked (should still have a bit of crunch). Service a bit slow.
