    Go now and book a reservation! I hate to even tell you how good this place is, as it strikes me as a place that will be booked 3 months out and have lines around the block as soon as people realize what's happening in this place and I'll never get back in. Cozy interior space as well as a dog-friendly patio and every last thing we had was excellent! Cocktails amazing, unique starters, great mids/salad, and a pork & grits main I'll be remembering fondly for a long time. Then two shared desserts, beautifully presented and delicious, and we still felt like there were two other desserts we wish we could have tried (bring a big group!) Service spot on and price actually less than what I'd expect for this level experience. Go. You'll have a Lovely Day.

    10/10! Great atmosphere, cute indoor or outdoor seating. We loved the drinks, fun starters, and flavorful main dishes. Can’t beat a nicely labeled for gluten free needs! Well over half the menu was still accessible. Special thanks to our waiter Zachary for the attentive service and helpful suggestions.

    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!

    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.

    Jen, Scott, and the entire family at Lovely Day hosted our birthday party — and it was unforgettable. From the delicious food and drink, to the warm welcome they extended to our guests, to the beautiful venue (inside and out), they made our evening magical. They are experienced, gracious, and superb professionals, who bring elegance and excellence to an event. Our guests continue to tell us how memorable the event was, and how gracious the staff was. Thank you for a wonderful memory.

    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.
