What a gem of a spot! I can't wait to book another event here at Lovely Day! I recently held a corporate event here, and not only was the food fantastic, but Jen's team was helpful, resourceful and accommodating. They were easy to work with, solution-oriented, and a pleasure to work with. We used both their Car Barn and Shop spaces, with food and reception in the outdoor patio and Car Barn, and our meeting in the Shop. It worked really well for our eclectic performing arts organization. Their pricing was more than fair, and they made it easy to bring in my own rentals and A/V company. Lots of different ways to re-work the space and adjust it to our needs. Though there is not a lot of parking nearby, we gave our guests Uber vouchers to use to promote ride-sharing. This funky, eclectic space was perfect for our needs and I highly encourage you to check it out for your next event!
A very unfortunate couple of hours. After sitting for over a half hour, we had only got water to our table, no drinks and not a bite of food. The first 2 appetizers (ceviche and polenta) came out about 40 minutes in and they were ok. We were an hour and a half in and still missing the rest of our food. I can understand that sometimes things can go wrong in the kitchen or with service, but an apology would be welcome in that case. Instead after inquiring, the response we got is that everything was fine and we would get an estimate of when we would get our other 2 apps and the mains. They did arrive shortly after inquiring: burrata, asparagus, trout and steak. All dishes were fine, but honestly underwhelming in portion size and quality, especially when considering the menu price. Also interesting that the wine listed on the menu as Napa is instead from Lodi according to the bottle. I would not be back, but I’m giving 2 stars instead of 1 in appreciation of the effort of putting together a nicely decorated place and a wannabe fine dining experience, which however is far from being there yet.
Went here because a friend recommended this place and it was pleasantly really good. The dishes were well seasoned and amazing meal. Would definitely go back again for dinner! Cute place and has a lot of space for a bday party if you’re looking for a nice and quiet restaurant to spend with your friends. Will definitely come back to try other dishes on the menu.
I know I love the food when they make veggies taste like meat! All the appetizers were on point down to the sauces. The staff was so friendly and attentive. Perfect place for a date night! Love love love will come again! Thank you Lovely Day!
Cocktail and service was amazing! Brussel sprouts were also delectable. We loved the decor and interior of the space and would come back. All other dishes were good.
