    My family and I went there for my birthday and everything was amazing! The server was excellent 10/10, the food & drinks were exquisite, and the vibe was great! Food came out very quick- we rarely had to wait which is unusual for most restaurants. They had a live DJ playing music which made it fun and the overall aesthetics was really nice. Overall a great birthday experience!

    This was a bday celebration and probably the worst experience we’ve ever had for a bday dinner. We loved coming to Luv Child and have been apart of different occasions including Drag Brunch and it was always amazing which is why we decided to choose it for another Bday celebration. However, this time around the service was awful, 30 min for 1 drink , food came out before our drinks ever arrived. The server was terrible and was actually sitting at another table hanging out. We tried cancelling our drink order because we were almost done with dinner before the drinks arrived and the server said oh well we made them and put them on the table and walked away. I understand finding staff is difficult these days but management never even came over to apologize for the delays. Food was also cold, not the usual, and it was a Sunday evening it wasn’t busy, no excuses. Sad bday celebration.

    We came in Easter Sunday with our kids, we made a reservation for 6 @5:30pm you can definitely tell 6pm is when business starts picking up for them as the crowds started to come in. The food was DELICIOUS, the ambiance was top tier. Definitely will be back for any occasion.

    Food was delicious! The music was just a tad too loud, couldn’t have a conversation without screaming. But the music did created the ambience. Our server was Tyler. He was super friendly, knowledgeable on the menu and overall just a very fun person. Sad they were out of the yucca fries to kill my craving but that means I must go back soon!

    Luvchild is an actual dream - the building and decor are your first sign that you’re in a lively and upbeat space. Drag brunch is my favorite reason to attend Luvchild, the show is always top notch, vibrant and full of talent. Each and every show I’ve attended, I’ve brought friends/coworkers and everyone has had a blast. The food and drinks are always delicious, my favorites are the peanut butter pick me up, big papi, and French toast. The show is always full of laughs, thanks to Co host Te Monet who always opens the show and turns the party. The show always closes out with the dreamy and iconic bearded queen Adrianna Sparkle. If you love drag, love brunch and want to have the best time possible I highly recommend checking it out, last Saturday of the month at LuvChild 🖤

    Went for DRAG Brunch and it was fantastic! Service was quick and it was an overall great experience! I will definitely return but wish the server would have informed me during ordering that margaritas are only able to be rung up/ordered as a double?? I have been a server before and have never heard of this. That was my only complaint - the surprisingly bill at the end. Everything else was fantastic.

    We were a table of 4, the waitress would take one person's order and leave. I'm like ahem, we all would like to order. She was sweet but not that attentive. Other than that The Drag Queen Brunch is always a vibe.

    Overall we had a great time. We were there for the drag brunch. Even with reservations we had to wait in line to get in though I assume was because of the seatings. But a missed opportunity for them as pre lunch drinks would have been ordered if we could. It was VERY loud before the show and almost impossible to talk. A couple of steps down with volume would still have been a fun atmosphere but just a little easier to talk and order. The staff was really great but beware - if you order appetizers and entrees everything comes at once! In fact one entree came before anything, then one appetizer, then two more entrees the second appetizer and finally the fourth entree. So was very disorganized. One entree was incorrect but they quickly resolved that. The food was EXCELLENT. This is not fine dining and is casual and fun. The show was an absolute riot…lots of splits, cartwheels and great drag queens - we laughter, clapped and cheered and had a great time. In this time it was very cathartic and much needed. Highly recommended- we will go back and try it outside of the drag brunch but would definitely do another brunch especially now we know what to expect and how to order better.

    I had the opportunity to personally experience Luv Child during my birthday celebration. We had a great time at Drag and Brunch, definitely a fun memory to remember. We had a little bit of reservation issue but was addressed right away by Sophie, although at day of reservation we didn't end up needing the extra seat, they had it all set up for us just in case. As a hotel concierge, I can confidently recommend Luv Child to our hotel guests. Thank you for a wonderful time and tasty food.
