   Wasn’t a great experience. Everything was ok but nothing noteworthy. Setting was a bit sterile (an event space feeling). They seemed understaffed. Food was below par. Could have been a off night for the place.

   Good backyard space but all the food was subpar - under cooked/bitter Brussels sprouts, watery/not good flavor drinks, overly salted fries, only average burger

   The server was great, but the food was subpar to greatly flawed. The patio eating is next to a freeway, busy street, and BART.

   Lovely Day has a really cool vibe and decor and the food was mostly great. I had the trout dish and my husband had the pork. Both were delicious! The table shared the polenta bites, pupusas and brussel sprouts for apps - all highly recommend. This was a bday dinner and the server brought out ice cream with a candle which was fun. The brownie sundae was on point but the vegan ice cream was meh and someone else at the table ordered the pound cake which was really dry (flavor was great just poor texture). All in all it was a fun time and our server was truly lovely. We will dine there again!

   Our waitress was excellent, as was all the food and drinks we ordered. The only thing that may put off some people is the walk under the freeway to get here from Temescal, with a homeless enclave, but fine once we turned the corner.

    We sat outside with our golden doodle with heaters away from the outside speakers/annoying music. Staff lovely and accommodating. The star food: polenta bits. Crisp, well seasoned and plentiful. Caesar salad, just ok, needed anchovies and s larger portion for the price. Spaghetti bolognese fine, nothing exceptional. The bummer was the rip off of the drink. My husband, who normally doesn’t drink, asked for something sweet. The waitress, Chelsea said he would like what she likes: a sparkling wine with elderflower. When the bill came they charged $16 for it! The bartender used J champagne—a waste for a mixed drink. I am truly offended that they did this. My drink, Paloma Royale was costly at $14, but delicious.

    We were able to reserve the main room for our small (24 person) wedding reception. The food was fantastic, and the ice cream sundae bar was a big hit with our guests (ages 10-75). The staff went above and beyond to set up a large table with linens and candles that made the space feel intimate for our group. My mother-in-law called our reception "elegant, but comfortable", which is exactly the vibe we were going for. Service was friendly and helpful, and not intrusive. Jen and the staff did a great job of accommodating needs and requests (picky eaters, nonalcoholic sparkling cider toasts, access to sound system). The bartender has been super attentive and skilled every time we've been in, and did a great job of helping guests find drinks that they would like. We highly recommend Lovely Day for private/semi-private events and look forward to celebrating here in the future! We would definitely use the space again for small/medium events.

    The food and cocktails were delicious, and I loved how many items on the menu were marked gluten-free, and how accommodating the server and kitchen were to my companions other dietary restrictions. We ate outside and the heaters were pumping, the patio is lovely, and the elevated BART tracks nearby add ambiance — although that last one probably isn't for everyone.

    This new restaurant is thriving! They were packed on a Friday night so I recommend making a reservation. The indoor space is spacious and elegant, while the outdoor space is more cozy and casual (each table has a heater which is great!). Each staff member was attentive and welcoming. The food was all delicious and came out hot and relatively quickly (read: not too fast). Will definitely return to Lovely Day and support this blossoming new business.

    The food was very good but smaller portions. Unfortunately we were celebrating two birthdays and they did not have our reservation although they did sit us. Then I reminded them we were celebrating two birthdays and they never acknowledged this.

    We discovered this gem on OpenTable and chose it based on past reviews. What a great find! The venue is great - exposed brick walls and high ceilings with a cool bar and lounge area and a funky sculptural light fixture. (There is also a large and inviting patio dining area but it was a bit too cold for us to eat outside.) The staff was so friendly and the service was great! Best I have had in a long time (such a challenging time for restaurants and wait staff right now!). The food and drinks were also great - I had a wonderful spicy cocktail and the "chipperbec" fries (a type of potato) which were some of the best I have ever had. And the trout was cooked perfectly and served with just the right amount of lentils. We were a party of five who had a great evening. We will be back!

    The food and ambience is wonderful! Sitting inside or outside are both desirable and have a magical feel. We went on a Friday night and it was pretty much full but they were definitely understaffed. Our server was sweet and charismatic and did a great job, my only feedback was it took a long time to get our drinks and that they need bussers and food runners so the servers aren’t so slammed. We had celery root and pear soup that was heavenly and the Caesar salad is pretty next level. Everything we had was delicious and we will definitely we going back!

    We booked a table here on a whim because we hadn’t been out to dinner in forever and they were one of the few places with available outdoor seating. I was not prepared for how outrageously delicious everything was. I had the trout and my husband had the burger, both were delicious but the burger was 100% the best burger I’ve ever had. Wait staff was incredible, so sweet and knowledgeable. I almost didn’t want to write this review because I want this place to stay a secret but I also need them to stay around!!!
