   The Love was amazing! Definitely going again. I really appreciate how the staff said happy birthday to my boyfriend and gave him a little cake at the end. They were all so nice.

   Weeknight dinner/Staff welcoming and gave good service although I definitely felt much pressure to leave at the end of our meal. Not sure why as half the tables were empty. The food was good, tuna sushi appetizer was nice. We got the fried chicken with grits and collard greens. I would give it a B, the chicken was in a very large slab rather than traditional finger sized parts. The grits had some lumps, collards fine. A solid meal but not exceptional. Lemon crème brûlée dessert very good. Very loud.

   Went here for a girl lunch. Was on time ... seated immediately. THEN was rushed. We were hoping for a leisurely lunch to catch up. Our waiter came over immediately with water & told us we had to order as soon as possible as the chef was going to close up the kitchen ... it was 2:00! We then ordered drinks, appys and meals. Our drinks came out quickly .. great! Then our appy. But then our meals were brought out minutes later ... so sat getting cold while we finished our appy. Resy was for 2pm. If you are going to close the kitchen stop resys earlier .. don't rush people!!!! If I wasn't rushed out ... review would be much higher.

    We really enjoy Starr venues and frequent them often. I was surprised to see both the price escalation and portion size deflation for one menus item. I ordered the rigatoni with shorty rib and found the portion size quite small at $44. The other items branzino, pork chop and fried chicken were well prepared fairly priced and good potion size.

    The food was pretty bad. The bread tasted old. The chicken tasted like it was from a can. The restaurant looked pretty nice but the food was so disappointing. It was not worth the money for sure.

    What’s not to love about The Love. Best experience we have had in a long time. Post Covid everything is trial and error even the standards. Love gets it. The service was outstanding from the pleasant faces. The greeted us at the door to the servers throughout the entire meal. We’ve all been there,when service is iffy, but the love staff was outstanding. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the service. Let’s talk about the food. Also outstanding There is something for everyone on the menu rather several somethings for everyone, everything was cooked to perfection and timed perfectly. Can’t wait to return and try several of the other menu items. Just go.

    What a beautiful place for a special birthday dinner. The pumpkin risotto was nothing short of awesome. The tempura squash was unbelievable too. Interesting cocktails beautiful cheese board. For entrees how did they get he pork chops so tender, just incredible. And the short rib rigatoni was rich and hearty while still being light somehow. And the espresso martini is a great end to the experience. Thank you for such a beautiful dinner

    Every experience at The Love is Amazing! I have loved every dish I have ever tried! Will admit that I go there expecting to taste a meal I’ve had b4… but truly my taste buds are amazed when I try something new because their menus change from time to time/seasonal! However, these chefs are Absolutely Amazing… Every single time they create Delicious Mouth~Watering Dishes! Gorgeous Presentation on a dish!!!!! And accommodating to any special request, and food allergies! And the waiters and waitresses are so welcoming & attentive Beautiful Location! Clear to say… I LOVE THE LOVE RESTAURANT !!!! They Never Disappoints My Love for a Great Experience😍 No pics to attach because I was just living in the moment😋

    It was our repeating visit to this place. We had our lunch and the main reason was their shrimp and grits loved by my wife during our last visit. This time she had it again. I had an omelette with spicy salad instead of fries. It was delicious. We also had a cauliflower soup with lemon infused oil and pistachios which was delicious as well. Everyone was nice, polite and ready to go an extra mile to make your experience outstanding. We are definitely coming back.

    I have been to the love several times and I find it very good quality creative presentations. Last night they had a very intriguing appetizer it was like a squash version of onion rings with sauce etc. DeAndre was the new addition of short ribs of beef and rigatoni excellent

    We really enjoyed our dinner at the Love. The service was excellent from the moment we walked in the door to the time we left. Everyone was very attentive and on top of things without being intrusive. The atmosphere was lovely and intimate. We sat at a window for two by the window upstairs and felt we could talk without all the other diners hearing our conversation. The lighting was soft while still being able to read the menu. The food was excellent and creative. Oddly our only 'complaint' was there was too much. We were brought up in the generation that you finish what is on your plate. The appetizer was the size of most entrees at other restaurants. The entrée was even bigger. Their wines by the glass were very good at matching the menu, and the waitress was very good at recommending the right wine. We always try to come back to the Love whenever we are in town.

    Excellent service and food....ambiance might be better if the music was turned down a notch. Mostly couples at the restaurant, but the loud music made it seem pretty boisterous.
