Absolutely perfect place for dining and enjoying a date!! We had an amazing time.
Our dinner tonight was awesome! Beautiful evening, good music and perfect weather. We got a lot of different food which you can see in photos. Once a year splurge! I will say they MUST cut their overhanging tree branches that will scrape your vehicle when in the parking area, no other way to get out!
This was our first time at Lavender Falls, and we found it to be a really interesting and cool location. Appetizer: We started with the shrimp. Initially, it seemed a bit bland, but the flavor developed nicely—it ended up being seasoned just right. Definitely recommend! Main Courses: We ordered the Medallions and the Ribeye, served with risotto, cabbage, and pasta. The Ribeye was cooked perfectly rare and tasted great, though it was a bit thin for our liking. The Medallions were the standout—each piece was seasoned differently, and we both agreed they were better than the Ribeye. The cabbage had a nice crunch, which I enjoyed. The pasta was good, though a bit heavy on the basil for our taste. The risotto was flavorful, but it was the second batch of the night, which delayed our main courses. We also noticed a few small crunchy bits in it. Dessert: We chose the cheesecake with caramel sauce, and it was the highlight of the meal! Soft (not cold), with a clearly homemade crust and delicious caramel sauce. Atmosphere & Service: This is primarily outdoor seating, so be prepared for flies and mosquitoes. Also, ice in drinks was limited on this warm and humid evening. Overall: We plan on going back! There was nothing that would keep us from returning or recommending it to others. The menu isn’t huge, but it offers a good variety—and nothing tasted the same, which we appreciated.
We have heard from so many people that this place is amazing, and had high expectations. They exceeded expectations and we had a great time. The service and wait staff was top notch and super kind. I was nervous we would be too hot for our 6:30 reservation tonight because the high today was a muggy 100 degrees, but it’s shaded and we felt pleasant the entire time. I wish we didn’t have to make reservations so far in advance (February for a June spot), but it was kind of a fun and special treat to look forward to. I recommend this place enthusiastically!
Super fun date night with friends. Wonderful atmosphere and delicious food! Service was a little slow but it wasn't a busy night. Must check out but be sure and snag a reservation!
Summary: This was a great date night/getaway spot for us on a Thursday night! Good food, unique atmosphere, overall would recommend! - The drive from Branson was about 45 mins, but the weather was perfect and the back roads were scenic (early May) - Parking was a tight squeeze, especially if you have a larger vehicle - The music was enjoyable, but sometimes a little loud - Food highlights were the bruschetta, grilled chicken, mushroom risotto, and cheesecake; I was underwhelmed by the ribeye for 35
Friendly staff, beautiful scenery, good food and drinks located by the river.
I’m behind on reviews so I’m going to do 2 in 1. First off - I have to say we were lucky enough to get 2 reservations in the month of June and had absolutely lovely experiences both times. The first trip we took my husband’s cousin and wife as they were visiting from out of town and everyone was in love with our seats out on the porch. There was a fan going and the temperature was perfect! Everyone’s steak was cooked perfectly and sides were unique and yummy! Our second trip was with our daughter and was the last evening they were open for the season. Again everyone’s food was perfect and the waitress surprised us with a round of cheesecake at the end of our meal as we were her last table for the year. She even brought out all of the sauces and drizzled them on table side. What a way to make us feel special. Can’t wait for next year!
