There is free side street parking if you come early enough to snag one. The DJs and people were a VIBE. Everyone was dancing and having a great time. Service was SLOW. They only had 2 bartenders and tbh, that took up about 45min in itself just to get a drink. I feel like for an event, at least 3 bartenders would do the trick. The thought of having to wait that long at the bar jist to grab a drink, made me not want yo drink. I only got 2 and called it a night with drinks. Bartender wasn't too friendly. No wine and water is in a self serve jug which half the time it was empty and you jad to fight your way through the crowd just to get a cup of water. If they would have more bartenders, they would make more money but maybe next time. The venue was nice, very hot so we ended up outside just dancing. Not sure if I would come again for an event.

I really wanted to like Lula Belle's, but unfortunately the food didn't live up to the price. The…read moredishes looked promising, but the flavors were very underwhelming. The Creole sauce tasted mostly like oil, and the grits were very watery with little flavor. Overall, the food felt very low-mid quality despite being on the expensive side. The one bright spot was the mimosas--they were actually really good and probably the highlight of the meal. Service itself was fine; the staff was polite and professional. However, everything took a very long time to come out, although I do believe the food was cooked fresh. As far as the ambiance, the live DJ music was definitely a vibe, and the restaurant itself was clean inside, which I appreciated. One thing to note is that gratuity is automatically added, so just be aware of that when you receive your bill. Another downside was the seating--the chairs were not very comfortable, which made the long wait times feel even longer. Overall, I left feeling disappointed given the prices and expectations. I hope they improve the flavor and consistency because the place has potential.

When I arrived, the bouncer at the front was very nice and friendly. I walked in and my party was waiting on me to be sat. The decor in the restaurant is photo shoot worthy. Our waiter was Ray who had all the energy and vibes to ensure that your experience is everything that we needed to be plus more. I was satisfied with the drinks and the drink prices. The food was presented well and came out in a reasonable amount of time . I ordered the grits flights and my best friend ordered the red snapper and grits. Honestly, the food was good, but it wasn't over flavorful. Combined with the vibes and good company plus great customer service- I would definitely come back. Ray was the best part of the experience!

On this particular visit, I sat on the patio, which I had never done before, but it was nice and quiet and very relaxing on a Sunday evening. I ordered the cheesecake and it was garnished with caramel popcorn, which added a nice touch to look at, but the popcorn was stale so I don't really think it was necessary, but it did make the plate look pretty. The cheesecake was delicious. Couldn't finish it all, but I took it home and finished it the next day. Our server was great. She was very attentive, friendly, and gave good suggestions. Love Crave and I'll again and again.

But a good friend of mine said that they go all the time and haven't had any issues and wanted to get me to try it again. So, we went on a Saturday evening around 6ish. We didn't necessarily have any issues getting in, but the hostess did say that her security might have an issue with the shirt my friend had on, even though he was very dressed up. It made me uncomfortable and seemed threatning almost. But she let us in and everything was fine. I don't understand why Crave always acts this way. But then when I walk in I see people of non-color dressed any kind of way, casual, etc. It just really rubs me the wrong way and for it to happen to me EVERY time I go, only leads me to one conclusion... So, anyway. We were there and we ordered hookah drinks and had a good time. Our server was super sweet and chill. She really saved the visit. I had a good time, but I most likely will not be back again.

As if that wasn't bad enough, the bartenders kept disappearing into a back room, and we caught them appearing to do lines off the counter back there. The whole thing felt dirty and sketchy.

It was fresh, flavorful, and definitely worth it. I'll absolutely be back to try more of the menu. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the service left a lot to be desired. Since it was my first visit, I wasn't familiar with how everything worked and could have used a little guidance. Unfortunately, the person working at the bar wasn't very welcoming or friendly, which made the experience feel less inviting. Thankfully, the food made up for it, and I'm looking forward to giving it another try.
