8:00-12:00 (I stayed until around 10)
It was a vibe all night. I walked in to some old school music. Think Lenny Williams type music.
Parking: There IS a lot right outside of the establishment. However, I parked in front of Barons Creek Vineyards (from the way I was coming, that restaurant and Lady Love were on my right side). It was a short walk. And no parking meter. There was a sign for that area, but I forgot what it said. It didn't apply--
Ambiance: dim lit. music wasnt too loud where you couldn't hear others. Solo outing friendly. Healthier crowd after 9:30 pm- more chatter because people are standing up due to no seating.
Inside: Smaller, cozy. Limited seating. Those arriving late-- please understand you will be standing up.
Seat yourself. Limited tables. I got there at 7:55 for an 8:00 vibe. There were 3 tables available. People did leave once the music shifted, though. If you arrive around 8:30-9:00, you may have to stand up / hover around for a seat.
One waitress (it did take a little while to get my order taken. Who I assumed to be a manager or owner did step in and help the waitress with waiting tables. They needed one more person, I believe, to help with the crowd.
Drinks/food ordered :
In tongues 3/5 -$12 wouldn't reorder. There was something overpowering the drink. If I did re-order, I would ask for 1/2 ounce more of the peach Monin, and less of the tea.
La Tona 4/5 $11 wouldn't have to have again but I would. It was the best drink for me for that night. Cute champagne glass.
Purple rain $14 Absolutely not. I sent it back. The toasted coconut-- I should've known better. If lotion had a taste, it's that.
Ordered a Lemon Drop as a replacement. $10 well plus $3 flavor. $13. I wouldn't reorder this. 2.5/5. It tasted like something watered down was mixed into it.
Food:
Pesto Sliders (3) $15. I put the pesto on the side.
I would re-order, but I'm probably coming here next time after I eat somewhere else.
I was VIBING ALL NIGHT. songs like "Freak like me" Adina Howard, "Sitting up in my Room" Brandy, "When I see you" Fantasia, "Never too much" Luther Vandross, "Superstar," Usher, "Candy Rain," Soul for Real" a good mix- not all Neosoul but good nonetheless.
Around 9:45 they started playing songs I wasn't familiar with.
Cons: People came in smelling like weed. I really hate that.. truly. But that's not the Lady Love's fault.
What I would do next time:
Opt to sit on stage (but not directly under the sign- so I won't be in everyone's pictures). This way, when it gets late and more crowded, people aren't standing right beside my table
Try other drinks-- even ones not on the menu.
Arrive 10-15 minutes before start time for seating
Bring a friend to share the vibe.
I'll be back !
