What a great spot! I came here on a Tuesday night for a meet up, I was the only one that showed but I decided to stay for some grub and I'm glad I did! The food and drinks were incredible, the staff was attentive and kind and so friendly, the saxophone player set the mood... I wish y'all were closer to my home but I can't wait to make a return trip read more

Outstanding establishment! From the time we were greeted at the front door to the time we got our dessert, the service was top notch! The food was fabulous too! I had the jerk chicken rolls and they were delicious! My hubby had the wings and he raved about them! My girlfriend had the fried cauliflower buffalo bits and they were amazing!! Oh yeah, the white chocolate bread pudding with a bourbon sauce was to die for!! There is also a live band that starts at 8 pm! I highly recommend this place! Can't wait to go back!! read more

YAY !!!!! Phoenix finally has a classy lounge with amazing food, great staff and PHENOMENAL DRINKS! I went for Brunch and will definitely be back again! I think I found my new favorite brunch spot! The staff is very professional and warm, not too pushy and the restaurant is super clean. I'm glad that I made a reservation, and appreciate that I was seated immediately upon arrival. There's a DJ and I love the grown n sexy atmosphere! Juuuuuust what we need here in Phoenix! They're still very new and it was very busy so there was a bit of a wait for drinks... but well worth it and the staff did a great job at being attentive. Plenty of parking, plenty of room and an amazing patio area! All of their food and drinks are prepared with great detail to quality and taste as well as it looks! They're going to do very well and I can't wait to go back again! read more

The service is piss poor. It took an hour to get a glass of champagne. The restaurant is not even half full. I will never patron this establishment again. read more

Wow! Wow! Wow!! Really nice place. Love the decor and the live music. Very entertaining.... Makes you want to stay and eat all day. Food is amazingly delicious!!! Shrimp and grits is Wicked!!! I used to think I make the best, but I might have a slight competition. Service was prompt and polite. Oozing pride and professionalism!! Black peoples it's finest... definitely coming back at a different time to try different things. The old fashioned was not it for me...a lot of old, but no fashion!! The server expressed the fact that gratuity was being charged and pretty much beg for a tip... kind of raised an eyebrow on that but I tipped her anyway. read more

I visited Lush for brunch, but I can already see the potential for an amazing atmosphere at night time. The food was great. I had both the shrimp and grits, which came with turkey sausage (that's a plus for me) and the French toast. Both were very flavorful! They have a music theme with drinks aligning with that theme. I had a purple drink, although I can't remember the name. It was great. Service was quick. The server was very attentive and the owner even came out to explain the restaurant and the theme. I can't wait to go back and try more menu items. read more

My husband made reservations for us and we drove all the way from Tucson for a 5 o'clock reservation, only to be disappointed when we arrived and the restaurant was completely closed. No call, no notice nothing. We had a confirmation and everything. No one was there. We have to do better than this. Thankfully, Ruth's Chris saved my birthday! The food was amazing! This will definitely be our new go-to spot! read more

We had a large birthday group Visiting Lush this Sunday for brunch and they did not disappoint the vibe and food was nothing short of amazing. I met Tony (the owner) and the handsome host Mr. Yates (the hat God himself) who made the experience all the more welcome. My server was attentive and the establishment was very clean and professional. Will be back. We tried a bit of everything on the menu. read more

Such a beautiful lounge. I went for the birthday and it was great. The live band was phenomenal and played a great mix of music. They even sang Happy Birthday. In between sets they had a DJ that played all the great RnB songs. Also they have out complimentary shots to the birthday people and played the birthday song. Now the food was amazing. I had the lamb chops with fried rice. And they were cooked to perfection. The drink menu was good. Wide variety of options. Do yourself a favor and try Lush! read more

This place is such a VIBE for 30 and up!!! Finally a safe space to enjoy live music and have amazing food. The wings were amazing!!

But I love it!!! read more

I found myself at the Lush Cafe & Lounge today for a brunch to celebrate the birthday of my best friend's son. I was not familiar with the Lush Cafe so I was looking forward to seeing what the place was all about. Great looking place. Ordered the chicken and red velvet waffle. HUGE chicken wings adorned my plate, freshly cooked and perfect! Absolutely scrumptious! The service was very pleasant and attentive. I will definitely go back soon for brunch, but also catch their evening entertainment. It looks like the kind of place that would be fun to hang out in! Great experience! read more

First and foremost, let's start with the hours of operation. I am so annoyed right now that I drove almost an hour to come and check this place out for my Birthday and the doors are locked, but it says they're open. Literally no one is here. It's Friday Dec 13th 24. 3:30pm read more

I was so excited to have a chance to try Lush. I had heard many things , some not so good (around the dress code) and some great (around the food). I didn't know that to expect but I had an amazing time! I loved getting dressed up and seeing everyone look so nice! The service was very friendly and welcoming. The food was really really good. Everyone enjoyed what they got! read more

Our server Lewis, was amazing very attentive to your needs. Food was amazing! We had the lamb chops and Mac and Cheese 10/10 read more

This was a surprise dinner for my first time there. I had heard about it and was happy to be supporting a black business. We were there early on a Saturday. Getting out of the car you hear the music with "MF" and "F" blasting outside. At that point I didn't know if I wanted to go in. Service was slow but pleasant. The interior music was loud. The food was excellent. Our server was good, but did not meet the extensive dress code posted outside. She did not reflect the business very well. For a restaurant that requires a deposit with a reservation I was really expecting a higher standard. read more

The food is ALWAYs AMAZING! I received excellent customer service and the atmosphere is posh and sophisticated. There is also live entertainment that is sure to please. I love this place! read more

Came on a Thursday night to watch karaoke. Sat at the bar; service was kinda slow but eventually picked up once the second bar tender showed up. $5 margs until 9p which was great. I ordered the Lamb & potatoes....uh lol. It was a mountain of mashed red potatoes surrounded by a swamp of gravy (literally looked like a moat), the menu says it comes with charred broccolini but I was served 11 pieces of asparagus. The lamb was lamb lollipops instead of whole chops. It started pretty good but the plating turned me off a lot. I would probably get something else if I decide to come back. DJ was great before karaoke started! read more

I wanted so badly to be able to give a 5 star review. This however, is not the case. I actually was not going to leave a review until I read through a few on another website. It's been well over a year since I attempted to venture out and Lush Cafe was my choice. Worse decision I could have made! A good friend of mine invited me out for drinks, knowing we both had early mornings, we decided Lush would be the ideal spot. Close by, mature, and gave us the opportunity to support a Black owned business. My friend was immediately turned away because her white dress showed her silhouette. Although Security is responsible for making the decision, a woman from inside ran out to tell her the dress was inappropriate, despite the fact that it came to her ankles. My friend is a beautiful bi-racial woman. (Fair skin + white dress = washout) Even though the restaurant staff person spoke in a soft tone, you have to be aware that you may trigger a person by what you say. The way she repeatedly shaped her hands around my friends body, explaining her point, really felt like body shaming. Instead of stating the restaurant would be closing at midnight, incase we wanted to change and come back, the employee turned and went inside. We left and ended up spending $40 for a dress that could have been spent in the restaurant. Although the black sheer dress 'passed' the scrutiny, we were told that the kitchen closed at 11pm. (It was 10:54pm.) No time to squeeze into the table and make a decision if we wanted food. My friend at this time, feeling very uncomfortable asked if we could just leave because of how she had been made to feel. Once outside, security said he didn't understand what the problem was with the first dress. We walked away. The employee who initially refused us entry, ran outside as we were walking away and said, "I need you to come back. I need you to come in." If she had informed us of the closing time before, maybe we would have. Maybe if her looks were not so disparaging towards my friend, maybe. Maybe instead of inviting us back tomorrow to see a live performance and to get there early, with no other offer of free water or something, we would have considered it. Because she said she needed us to come back. I even asked if it was a church establishment because of the long list posted outside the main entrance of what is not allowed to be worn. I was told it wasn't. I had a looser dress code at my all girls high school, and we wore uniforms. I guess she needed us to come back because the parking lot was less than half full, on a Friday night. I could have overlooked all of this, but the one thing, I cannot and will not over look is poor treatment to people of color, especially from other people of color. If you think my comments are extreme, tell that to the tears that flowed from my friend's eyes for 30 minutes because of how she was made to feel. All we wanted to do was have a drink. We will have a drink, but it won't be here. You never know who is coming to your place of business or what influence they may have. All I can say is do better...... read more

Bang Bang shrimp were a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT they were over over overly fried popcorn shrimp and the flavor was nasty even with the sweet sauce that did not HELP!!! The portion was great and that's it. The presentation was soooooooo horrible they are not even featured on the food slide show.!.!.!.!. We returned them eating maybe (7) out of 45-50 pop corn shrimp. The waitress asked " wants wrong" I told her they were horrible and she took them to the back and they said we ate tooooo many and we had to pay for them....... We did and ordered the grilled shrimp top tier definitely should've gotten those 1st per the PIC in the food slide show they were AMAZING. The vibe was great for their 1 YEAR anniversary.. read more

Coming from 18 years in Chicago, my expectations of great dining is way up there., and I often find myself disappointed with the dining in Arizona. HOWEVER, Lush Cafe and Lounge exceeded my expectations from start to finish. Upon entering, we were met with the gorgeous decor of the spacious, dining area. From the artwork to the accent walls, it exudes a lovely, upscale aesthetic with great attention paid to the details. It's refreshing to finally see an establishment such as this positioning itself for success. On their website, expectations are set for what kind of vibe to bring, and those who come understand the assignment. With the dress code, the reservation deposit, and the automatic 20% gratuity, Lush has not come to play or tolerate shenanigans. I'm very much appreciative that they are setting a standard, encouraging a more sophisticated clientele (i.e., Pookie, Hennesy and the crew are not likely to be here). From the hostess to our server, everyone we came in contact with was warm, welcoming, and attentive so that set the tone for the evening. I was equally impressed with the eclectic, creative food and cocktail menus. I chose the lamb lollipops with the shrimp fried rice, while my friend had the pasta with lobster and shrimp. The food and drinks tasted as amazing as they were creatively presented. The lamb chops were lean, seasoned well, and the best I've had outside of my own kitchen. There was a top-notch songstress with a live band who gave us a great show of 'ole school RnB songs. So there you have it: great vibe, amazing food, and beautiful ambiance make for a wonderful dining experience at Lush. Let's "make it last foreva," ya'll cuz Arizona is in desperate need of establishments of this caliber. read more

My first time at Lush, I got Quioa as my waitress. She went above and beyond to make my experience one of the best. Each time I have come back even when she is not assigned as my waiter she makes sure I am well taken care of. I always bring family from out of town to Lush knowing Quioa will ensure they have a great experience. She definitely helps take the vibe to the next level. I always have a great time when she is working and so appreciate her kindness and work ethic. - Not to mention she is from the Bay Area so it's Yeeeeeee all day! read more
