The food, the service and the craft cocktails were all excellent. I had some of the most creative and best bites of sushi that I’ve ever had. Really attentive to details and consistent but not hovering service.

About the restaurant

Cafe Momentum is a non-profit restaurant that serves as a paid post-release internship for juvenile offenders. Youth are released from detention into the sheltered environment of Café Momentum’s post-release program. Café Momentum’s program teaches critical skills that allow youth to re-enter society in a safe, real-world environment of nurturing accountability. By participating in our program, at-risk young people rotate through every aspect of the restaurant from waiting tables to washing dishes, while working side-by-side with established chefs.

The paid internship gives them the opportunity to exercise and practice their new skills while continuing to develop leadership, social, and vocational skills for as long as they choose to maintain involvement with Café Momentum. Additionally, Café Momentum works with the Dallas County Juvenile Justice Department to serve youth deemed highest risk for incarceration.

Our favorite part of the meal was the grilled lettuce salad with pear and whipped ricotta cheese. We also loved the black bass with caramelized onions and apple curry. We're anxious to return and try other menu items. We had food envy all night looking at what the others around us ordered.

While the food is always great, we opted to try sitting at the sushi bar as we always have gotten a table. Poor decision! Service was not good. The bar tender was our server whom largely neglected us. Took 40 minutes for her to come back from drink order to meal order. Don’t sit at the sushi bar unless you’re not hungry!

We’d never dined here before but had heard very good things. We were not disappointed. The “Oden” stew sells out fast and it is very limited. If available, the Sautéed Hokkaido Scallops in Uni Sauce is exceptional. On the regular menu, all of the sushi/sashimi we had was very good and the Chicken Karaage was very good. Our waiter was attentive and knew their wines. The restaurant was quiet and easy to hear and be heard in. Ample valet parking in the rear.

Lavendou, a retreat into the French countryside - a place where life is savored as much as the food. Lavendou is thoroughly French, from the inviting decor to the gracious service and authentic cuisine. But don't expect it to be pretentious. Owner Pascal Cayet is dedicated to providing service that is friendly and efficient. And you will find Chef François Soyez's menu to be deliciously approachable. Serving the lighter fare of Southern France, Lavendou offers many items to tempt your taste buds.

Exceptional service, and the food was beyond the highest standards available. The veal was superb. Escargot aromatic. The wine list was excellent and comprehensive. Our server spoke perfect French and English and probably another language too. Host was cordial and checked on us twice. We will be back. Delicious food and exceptional service.
