We had the lobster roll (not enough chunks and bread was not warm by the time I got it), Alberta steak (super tasty!), burrata and seafood salad were ok.

The service was great and they were busy. We didn't have a lot of time so we appreciated how quickly they accommodated us. The burger was delish! Cooked just right and flavorful. The topping were fresh and I opted for no bun and a side salad. The salad was piled high with fresh veggies and the dressing was not too tangy. Great spot for lunch if in the area. The prices were very reasonable for the area and they refilled our drinks several times.

I wasn't very hungry during my visit so I ordered the lavender latte and mushroom soup. The latte was one of the best I've ever had.

I will say the food and drinks are a bit too expensive, and even a hot chocolate is $8. I opted to order a Lavender London Fog (which was $12) and an egg & cheese sandwich (which was $16). The drink was tasty and had a nice lavender flavor, but the sandwich was pretty mediocre and not very tasty. It did help that it was warm and the cheese was mostly melted, but it was almost comparable to an egg McMuffin. Customer service was pleasant and efficient when I visited and they do offer to warm up any breakfast sandwiches that you purchase. They also have limited souvenirs available for purchase, I purchased a basic key chain but I couldn't justify buying a $31 coffee mug. Possibly worth a visit, but be prepared to spend at least $20+ on a hot drink and breakfast sandwich.

We got the mushroom risotto (so unique), the vegetarian bao bun, and the vegetarian lettuce wraps (make sure to ask for vegan so they can sub the non-vegan sauce).

We got lucky and took the 6 remaining seats at the bar, but be prepared to wait if you're a bigger party. That said, the staff and bartender were very nice and service time was fairly normal.
