Lavandou

Last night Erika & I went to a restaurant I normally like a lot, Lavandou, in Cleveland Park. We went there specifically to eat mussels (they have 4 kinds.) So, we both order mussels, and they come, and we're all happy. Until we start eating. At least half of my mussels are closed! A lot of Erika's are too! The waitress finally came back over, and I told her the problem. She walked away, and a few minutes later, came back and offered us either another order of mussels to share, or dessert. Since we were pretty much done eating, I said we'd like dessert, thanks. She goes away again. She comes back about 10 minutes later carrying a small dish of pot de creme. With 2 spoons. Which is nice and all, but really, I was anticipating we'd each have our own dessert, and that we'd get to chose our desserts ourselves! While I really like chocolate desserts, Erika prefers fruit desserts. We both liked the pot de creme, but really, I left unhappy. I am not ready to write the restaurant off, because I've been there several times before and never had a problem.
