The service was a little aggressive in the way they immediately clear things so we were left without butter for bread, forks, etc. The music was better suited to a bar or club rather than digesting food. The food was quite good, however.

This is my second time coming to Bandol and I had a great time. The drinks are always good but the food wasn’t as good as it was last time.

Your questionnaire is misleading on noise level. It was way too loud when we got there; we asked if they could turn it down, and they did. Otherwise, that level is not suitable for a business conversation.

Always have excellent dishes here. Unfortunately, the mussels were not good this visit.The wait staff were very nice and exchanged the mussels for the trout I chose and that dish was excellent. The side dishes also were excellent.

There were significant problem in the kitchen and staff yesterday. I don’t know what caused it but we ordered bread as a starter. It was $7. Ok must be good bread. Had to ask for it twice. When it came out it obviously had been microwaved and was cold in the middle. No cream for coffee. Incorrect version of cassette salad delivered. The server comped our drinks. At least they tried to make up for it. Other than bread , food was pretty good.
