Lush Espresso Martini
Candii B.

I visited Lush Cafe And Lounge for the first time for a friends birthday. We went on a karaoke night which I loved, the vibes were definitely flowing in the building and for a Thursday night it was pretty packed. The birthday girl had a very large group and the handsome gentleman that was our server did the best he could with keeping up so kudos to him. While I did not try any food, I did get the Lush Espresso Martini, and luckily it was the best espresso martini I've had, because the price point ($25) is a little wild. I would definitely come back for another karaoke night, the MC/DJ were keeping the vibes going in between song selections so that was nice.

Shout out to Tony our waiter!! Went here with my 1st Cousin, to her 2 best friend(s) Birthday brunch! 98% of our party were from out of state so this, as an 1st experience to Arizona was not the best! I really wanted to give this place 5 stars, I really did, HOWEVER, I was very disappointed to say the least! Dress code policy: I'm glad that you're here reading reviews before going here. Please check out the dress code as well as, the payment policy before going so that you're prepared. One rule that stood out: No jeans with the fad of holes, or cuts allowed! This location has been many other businesses in the past so, it was nice to see that this business has been here for over 6 Months. First, they have a huge sign outside, about the dress code which is fine, but standing there reading it was alot before entering, especially in this AZ heat! I get it that, you are wanting to attract a certain class of humans though. Bravo as class equals stash Entering: The place is spacious, and nice, there's a nice bar area, it's pretty dark inside with a nice ambience and they have a cool selfie room. l arrived about 10 min after the party that I met up with, and was never offered water... like never!!! The place only had 1 other big party seated (Approx 10-11) but, they also only had a few staff working, in which, 2 were working the floor. Our party was also big with about 10 or 11 of us so having 2 waiters, I'm sure was a strain on them. Service: I noticed that they are super slow!!! It took over almost 1 1/2hrs to have our order taken. FINALLY, our orders were taken but not before, I had to go grab our waiter to let him know that one of our party members dropped glass( which was a present) we needed a cleanup... had this not happened, I'm pretty sure, that we'd still be sitting there waiting to order. The food: Please note that, there's a $30 min. Per person. Presentation was everything!!! Everything looked much better than what it tasted honestly. I had the chicken and waffles but in some of our opinions, (those of us who had the same dish) it tasted as if the chicken was fried in old grease over and over again! The waffle was good though! The grits and shrimp looked dry and those who had it, had mixed opinions on rather or not, that they would order it again. There ya have it!!! The French toast was a hit at our table as the bread was thick and sweet and looked amazing as well as, received great reviews. I had an ice tea which tasted awesome as it had the right amount of sweetener. I wanted a coffee drink but they were all out of coffee which was odd since they appeared to have a nice selection of coffee drinks on the menu and they just opened for service with only one other party inside for brunch. Come on mannn... please stock up on coffee for brunch. (Growl) Overall, I suggest that they hire more staff, especially when they're 2 big parties having brunch. The exhausting wait time is a headache! This experience was exhausting!!! I don't see myself returning but that's just in my opinion. I think that if they had more staff working and if the establishment had coffee on deck, that the experience would've been a better one for me. ! Recommendations to the owner: Please clean the grease. The business has tons of potential! In closing: Fyi: If you're with a big party, only 1 payment method is accepted by one. There's a $30 min pp and the gratuity of 20% is already added to the check/invoice in which, I have mixed feelings about, because, why would staff move faster if they know that, there's nothing you can do about the tip since it's automatic. I'm a tipper by character anyway... however, I'm also a better tipper if service is stellar. Bloop! Check it out for yourself but prepare to be there for a really long time! There's plenty of parking onsite!

the staff was very welcoming & informative! it was my first time in the city. I enjoyed my meal & mimosa tower, very yummy. the music was a great vibe too

If you're looking for a solid brunch spot with great food and a relaxed vibe, this restaurant definitely delivers. My friend and I decided to split a few menu items. We ordered the catfish grits, French toast, and fried chicken are absolutely delicious--flavorful, well-seasoned, and decent portions that will satisfy any brunch cravings. The ambiance is perfect for a 30+ crowd, offering a nice, laid-back atmosphere without the noise of loud DJs or hookah. The parking situation is decent, which can be a big plus, and they have a lovely photo area for those who enjoy snapping a few pics during brunch. The clean bathrooms show attention to detail, which always adds to the overall experience. Prices are reasonable for the quality of food and service you get. On certain nights, they feature live music, adding a great touch to the atmosphere without overwhelming the space. All in all, it's a solid choice for a casual yet enjoyable brunch outing! Know that they have a 20% gratuity included 30+ only Dress code enforced

Lamb chops

If you're looking for a grown and sexy vibe, this place is definitely worth checking out. I went on Saturday night for dinner and they had a live band which absolutely killed it. The vibes were on point, the staff were great and the service was good. The food I had was ok. I had the lamb chops which were slightly overcooked for my liking. The asparagus and mash potatoes were good. Overall a good experience. Definitely wouldn't mind checking them out again the next time I'm in the area .

This is my first time at this location. There is plenty of parking in the shared parking lot. They will require you to make a reservation, but you can still get a table if you come early. It is pretty packed during the evening and they have some great singers or regulars who can sing during the karaoke sessions. The entertainment is flat out amazing the food is mediocre, and the drinks are horrible. Literally, they watered down the drinks. I do not recommend the food and beverages. I'm very disappointed, especially to get older the Best one which is $25 and walk away like I never even had any alcohol. Waitress came disappearing she was literally the female Houdini. Go for the fun of it be lit before you get there and eat before you come.

The breakfast skillet and mimosa

The food and customer service was amazing. We had Chris as a waiter and the chef came out and checked on the food as well. We had a great time! The vibe was great.

Vibin' Wings

We came on a Thursday night for karaoke. The hostess was very friendly and gave us a great seat. Our server was Ashley she was very friendly and gave great suggestions. We ordered the wings (excellent), fries (really good), shrimp (good but you don't get a lot so be prepared), and lamb chops (small but tasty). The host did a great job at keeping the crowd engaged and the karaoke was a great time.

I came here and I'm from out of town. I sat at the bar and had Jasmine as my bartender and she was awesome! Had the jerk rolls & they were good. Paired with the sauce & it can be a little salty. And had the boom shrimp. Both were good. Had the grapefruit cocktail and it didn't taste like grapefruit at all. It was good. Ambiance was nice. I went on a Thursday night so it's karaoke 8-11 & they got half off wings and fries till 7:30. If I'm ever back in town, I'd definitely come back.

Jerk Chicken Lush Rolls
Derrick Lil D W.

My friends and I went here on a Wednesday for a double date night. We got our days mixed up, but SO glad we did! We found a WONDERFUL violinist @NatashaMariner_violinist who was super dope! Very talented! We ordered the Lush Rolls that were flavorful and the sauce was amazing! For entrees, I had the Rasta Pasta which was nice with a kick and sweet undertone, but was really hot (temp) and good serving size. Ambiance is as 10/10, food 10/10, service 20/10. When you're there, ask for Tiana, best server EVEEERRR!! Lush is a great place for date night or to just hang out. Only for the grown and sexy. Make sure you come by every Wednesday night for Wine and Jazz!! You're welcome!!!

Braised Short Ribs
Sharon B.

Our uncle invited us out to celebrate our aunt for her birthday. He made the reservation ahead of time for Friday July 19th @ 7:30p. Once we pulled up; the restaurant is located in an area w/ other businesses close by but ample parking was available. We were advised ahead of time of their strict dress policy so please make sure you read ahead of time to prepare. We were greeted by our hostess & was seated m. Once seated our waiter Luis came over to introduce himself, explain the menu in details & gave us a few moments to make our selection. We absolutely loved his energy & told us about himself by gave us an ice breaker question as well. We placed our orders for appetizers: lush crab cakes (should be 3 instead of 2 & cooked a little longer but good), jerk rolls were good but spicy w/ a delicious dipping sauce, buffalo cauliflower bites (spicy & needed less breading/ suggestion less breading & have selection of dipping sauces on the side, Lamb chops w/ fried rice & shrimp (2), short ribs which are cooked for 5hrs w/ mashed potatoes, gravy & asparagus (2). All our dinner meals were delicious which range from $38-45 per person. Our drinks we ordered were the candy rain, confessions & sexual healing. As you can see all the drinks are named after R&B songs which were very cleaver. Price $18 & up There was a live band & 2 ladies singing music which gave our overall experience a 10. DJ plays great music as well between breaks from the live music as well. Also check out their selfie area in the back which we found out afterwards & beautiful art work closer in the restaurant. Lush also offer limited time happy hour from 3-5pm I believe on drinks & appetizers. Not certain if there is a fee to make a reservation or not online but they do accept walk in's. 'My family & I would love to come back for the dinner & try their brunch menu.

Allison and Les (apologies for any misspelling) took great care of us and checked in often. Menus were also recently updated with the change. Ordered the Gold Rush cocktail and the Miso Ocean Trout for dinner. The cocktail was done very well with a good balance between the alcohol and flavoring. The trout was probably one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. The miso paired so well with the dynamic sauce and the fish along with the sticky coconut rice and greens. I also took a bite of my friend's The Boar sandwich and it was delicious - fries were amazing. Will definitely be back!! Also, parking's a little tough since Postino's in the same plaza, but they do offer a discount if you ride share!

They offer monthly locker rentals, have lots of TVs, and usually play great music. My favorite is when they have R & B or jazz vibes. I have come in before when they were playing Green Day or harder rock, which did not quite match the chill atmosphere, but that is a small dent in this great place. They manage the smoke really well so it never feels overly smoky inside. There is also a restaurant next door, which is perfect because you can order food, bring it over, and they give you a pager to let you know when it is ready. Always a great experience here, one of our favorites! They are always playing games and were showing the Olympics this time.

He was incredibly kind and attentive, especially with my friend who is deaf, making sure we always had water, napkins, and plenty of chips. The margarita flight is always a must for me, so I had to order one for my friend since it was her first visit. I told her that even though neither of us are into spicy margaritas, I knew she'd love it and I was right! Every margarita was delicious. I also ordered the lavender lemonade, which was refreshing and just as good. Ghost Ranch never seems to miss when it comes to drinks. Potato tacos! Another must have My friend ordered the Aztec Cake and insisted I'd regret not getting it. She was absolutely right. It was bomb and Torrance offered us a side of chips .TY. I ordered the short rib. It was flavorful, tender, and filling, with lots of garlic and savory flavor. I'm not sure if short rib is just not my thing, but it didn't wow me the way the Aztec Cake did. I warmed it up later and it was delicious a second time so no complaints. Excellent service, delicious drinks, and a fun way to spend the Fourth. We'll definitely be back!

Been waiting to check this place out for Happy Hour and finally got around to it with friends. Happy Hour is daily with $3 off all appetizers (not just selected as the menu says) in addition to drink specials. We ordered a few apps to share and had: - Chips with Guacamole and Salsa: solid - Queso Fundido: I was excited for this as friends have said they liked it, but the cheese harden within minutes and it wasn't as nice - Street Style Esquites: I was expecting more corn rather than mixed in another cheese dip and likewise, the cheese harden quickly. - Shrimp cocktail: it was pretty heavy on the liquid rather than thicken, but good - 3 potato tacos: okay, wasn't expected it to be fried so it was a bit greasy but loved the slaw it came with - Southwest egg roll: not bad, was a crowd's favorite and I liked the sauce it came with We didn't realize most of the apps came with tortilla chips otherwise we may have ordered differently. I got the frozen margarita and it was a bit sweet, but nice for the summer evening. Our server wasn't super attentive, but was nice whenever they came around. There's a sampler entree platter I'd like to try, but of all the appetizers we tried, the best was probably the chips with guacamole and salsa.

The piece of chicken they give you is huge and the steak was cooked to perfection. The sauce they give you for the steak frites was delicious as well.

The Taste of Tempe is going on right now and although we looked over the simple fixed price menu, decided to go with their lasagna and Caesar salad. Salad was fresh and really good and loved the addition of the fried capers for that salty bite. Their dressing is a bit different than others, not as goopy and thick as some Caesar dressings can be. There are also tasted bread crumbs in place of chunks of croutons. I truly loved it! Their lasagna is so good! Their sauce is a combo of beef and pork Bolognese so it's more on the creamy side with the tang of the tomato base and according to the menu, the cream comes from their cream sauce. Together, it creates a tasty addition to the layers of noodles and the serving size was perfect to share for two. Friend had the ravioli, which is served in a creamy mushroom sauce with a hint of the truffle and thyme. I had to try and bite and would definitely have this dish next time. Light and delicious. For dessert we were recommended the tiramisu and that was not disappointing in the least! Layers of lady fingers and whipped mascarpone was so good and not overly sweet. Both the wife and friend topped their meal off with a limoncello, which we learned was made in-house. Wife said it was strong but loved that lemon flavor. Overall a great first experience and we'll definitely be back! They are located next door to Freely Tap House and we learned they are owned by same owners. Really wonderful!
