Great soul food menu. Good portions and reasonable prices. Visited this establishment midweek. Mature crowd and casual atmosphere. The jazz is very good with some excellent musicians. I happened to catch Smitty Smith and was thoroughly entertained. We had appetizers which were much better than expected.
I reserved a table in one of their tasting bays (for free!) to celebrate a birthday and just had friends open their own tabs. The contract says theres a one drink per person minimum, but I didnt feel as though it was strictly regulated and it definitely wasnt hard for our party to meet that. :)
I have to admit that I only came here for drinks on this visit, but I definitely want to go back for dinner. The look of this restaurant is so AMAZING! Clean, contemporary lines. Nice tables upstairs for dinner, but a very cool lounge area downstairs. The drink list was great as well, and I absolutely loved my kiwi-prosecco mixed drink. It seemed a bit pricey for my taste, but nothing too out of the ordinary for San Francisco. It was definitely a scene type of place so if thats not your thing...beware!
I was there for a comedy show and had a really good time. The club have 2 sides as you come in.. the show was to the left and another sitting area to the right with a bar located in the middle.It appeared that you could rent this venue for your event or special occasion. The night I was there the production company holding the event seem to have their own staff that prepared the food, so Im not certain if they have their own staff or not. Again I think its more of a hall that you can rent. At any rate the venue was set up nicely and had adequate space. The stage area was the perfect size for our comedy.. which made it intimate yet obvious it was a stage with goood lightening on the stage and minimal light on the audience.Parking can be a bit tricky. The Lavender Blue, from what I could see had a small parking lot with maybe 12 spots.. Which were all taken upon my arrival, however I did get lucky and found a spot on the street directly across the street. There is street parking on both sides of the street. But if youre going you may want to get there on time or a bit early.One more thing to note.. on the night I was there the Forum was having an event and made traffic a nightmare. Just plan your escape in the event there is something at the Forum that night.Overall I must say that I truly enjoyed my night at the Lavender Blue.
Great vibes all over. Food is exquisite. Do yourselves a favor a try everything on the menu! I had dinner and drinks on a Thursday and it so happened they had a small jazzy bad. Enjoyed the whole experience. I also do order delivery from time to time and my go to is the jambalaya burrito
Its not a place to get rowdy, but more of a great place to just lounge and drink around. There lots of individuals on dates here, mostly and after work drinks.
Love this place. Wonderful atmosphere, excellent staff, delicious food and drink. I first heard of 25 Lusk through the SF Green Biz network....I really appreciate their commitment to sustainability - to me, that makes everything taste even better.
I love the general vibe at this joint, whether its a Sunday night or the default party nights on Friday/Sat, there will always be something fun and exciting happening. Since I just moved to the bay area, I have been searching for a place with African music and my hunt ended when I discovered Baobab. The music variety will keep any reveler on their toes! Oh did I also mention that they have TUSKER beer? If you are Kenyan or East African you know what am talking about!
Definitely has that Local Edition vibe going for it but a little more casual. Drinks were very tasty but they can certainly have a bit more variety especially of the more fruity/girly type. The big open space and split levels makes the space very cool and a little different. Id definitely come back and see how the place evolves and makes its mark on SOMA.
My husband and I went here to check the lounge out for pre birthday dinner drinks. We were very impressed by the bar bites and the wine list! I had a dirty martini and my husband enjoyed a manhattan. Both drinks were strong and well prepared.
They serve big portions and for fair pricing. super friendly staff members. 5 stars.
Nice place to hang out with friends. Nice atmosphere with DJ and live music. The food was pretty good and not too pricey. I had the Catfish plate and was satisfied. There is a old school crowd until about 10pm. All in all I had a good time and would go again.
Came here for a drink Friday evening- Love the modern yet warm decor. The fireplaces adds a romantic feel to the lounge--the service was friendly.
This time I get to enjoy the lounge. Bar area crowded and loud as expected. Lounge area quiet and intimate. I dig!
Where do I start with this night club? This venue captured my attention from the outside already due to the brightly-lit SF Giants colorway sign Lavender Blue Restaurant Lounge.
Was there for a repass. Staff was great. Food was very good. Sorry for not taking pictures but given the situation it would not have been appropriate.
GREAT Food! Not bad service. Definitely worth booking for your next event
Great spot conveniently located on Manchester near the Forum. Good food, excellent drinks and fantastic live music. Great soul food menu. Good portions and reasonable prices. Visited this establishment midweek. Mature crowd and casual atmosphere. The chicken wings that we had is the Best chicken Ive ever hadz it taste fresh and properly cooked and I love the rub on the skin of the chicken. I highly reccomenf this place
Met up with a friend on a Sunday evening . It is my understanding that Lavender Blue opens at 6pm.Had a good time. Clean bathroom, personable staff, dancing floor, nice small menu, good prices, and good drinks. It is my understanding that certain nights have a theme. Such as Soul Food Night. Call ahead for the theme nights, opening and closing times. Nice seating areas. Parking is on the street, limited parking on the site. Note: Across the street, there is public parking. I am told it is rather dark there. Nice bar as well. I enjoyed myself and I believe you will too! Who says: Don Owens
Looking forward to going back. I went to support someone. Would like to check it out on my own. Mature crowd i here
We had a fantastic at this place. We liked the amazing vibes and the menu. The staff are super attentive. I am happy we ultimately decided to try this place.
I tried this place in the past with my friend and I am hooked ever since. I enjoyed the awesome mood and flavorful dishes and drinks. 5 stars.
Im sorry I did not love it well it got one good star and thats because the drinks was good however to get the drinks I had to wait a whole 30 minutes to catch a waitress. Then the next thing was she had kind of an attitude because I wanted to order some food I ordered my food and waited for an hour and 45 minutes. I couldnt believe it she gave me the check before she gave me my food I didnt get that part.
Soooo much fun! The appetizers were delicious. Very entertaining and I will visit again.
Relax & listen 2 some jazz & blues on Sunday. The food is good also
Met a friend for a drink and had some small bites, and I was really impressed with the quality even though it is such a small place.
Small really only good for private party.. Dont go in if ur not going to party! 10$ and no waitresses or dance floor.
Great! We came here for a repast after my aunts funeral. The staff and food was great. The bartender was awesome, I had a raspberry margarita and the food was good
Rented this establishment out for my dads repast. Its a lovely facility. I would definitely rent it again.
I hosted my Dads repast here and it was perfect. The food, service and space was excellent, affordable and exactly what our family needed.
Friday blues night was great. Really enjoyed myself. The music and food was good.
Fun place for A gathering of family and friends and our food was so good
Love this beautiful park
Sunday Jazz, Blues and other genres are EPIC. The band is beyond Great.. Lets try SPECTACULAR!!! starts @ 7 pm.
Its a great place will come back
Birthday celebration. Food and drinks were both good.
I absolutely love this place! The staff is super friendly and vulgar at the same time. The piano men had most tunes down, I do wish they knew ALL the words to tiny dancer but Im old school. They did know all the most recent tunes and good ol Garth! The drinks werent too week and after 2 drinks I had a good buzz.
We use to go to the Cork but it closed down from losing their liquor license from my understanding. We were trying to find another place to get our groove on. However, this place seems to cater to private parties and isnt really a dance club or lounge but more like a limited restaurant. They had a decent dance area. The menu was shallow. The music was good for old school which is in our age group. Some hole in the wall clubs are good and this one has potential however were still looking. If you have any ideas, please let me know.
Quick happy hour. Wait staff were friendly even though kitchen was closing early.Thursdays are early closure days.
Fantastic dj. Great food. Fabulous people
I was hear to check the place out due to a wine tasting and we are introducing a new product. I love the ambiance, the music and energy of the people that are coming in, the sever is very nice and we just found out shes the daughter of the owner. The chicken wings that we had is the Best chicken Ive ever hadz it taste fresh and properly cooked and I love the rub on the skin of the chicken. I highly reccomenf this place
Had a really good time! The DJ was the BOMB! He played everything oldies! The drinks were pretty good too! Just cost 5 dollars to get in!!!
Ordered the chicken kabob (souvlaki) plate and the filet mignon kabob (souvlaki) plate with the hummus dip. Ive never been to the Mediterranean so the only measure Ive had is going by the restaurants in America. The best one Ive been to so far is Janets in Duarte. The food at Georges is good Id give it a 10 out of 10.
Nice place. Great music.
Great food, live jazz(incredible) ambience for ever and the servers were cordial, professional and cute.Go and enjoy .You will not be disappointed.Call to confirm that the jazz is happening.
Fish and spaghetti were delicious! Banana cake was just a tad bit dry, but had good flavor. The staff was very friendly and efficient.
Great Jazz Sunday. Drinks on point and the band was amazing
Jacque Lesure is a gift to The Jazz Community and he needs an additional night at Lavender Blue because HIS JAZZ IS NOT DEAD.
Always a different and great experience! This time there was a 91st birthday celebration and the birthday lady was dancing her heart out. Soooooo inspiring.
I took the steppers class on Wednesday. Its a miracle. I can dance. Thanks guys. Youre the best.

Great place to meet new friends and greet old ones. Nice atmosphere for Happy hour, Taco Tuesday, birthday parties, holiday partues, comedy shows, cocktails. Female and Black Owned business. Marsha stays in the kitchen to be sure that fried chicken and mac n cheese is on hit.
The customer service is constantly efficient, fantastic ambience, nice staff. I will come back again when I get in the area.
Old style R&B. Good ambulance. Drinks though are a bit week
Nice place to have a drink and watch the game
Excellent food and elegant decor! Great service and drinks, live music on Sundays!
A good location to go out and have a great time. I usually go through n Wednesday night to do some Chicago Stepping and Detroit Ballroom dancing. Omar teaches Chicago Stepping there Wednesday nights.
Delicious food, great music/entertainment, excellent service! Very reasonable prices!
I love the music and food service is awesome
Cool Atmosphere. I absolutely love the catfish. Great spot to cat a concert or watch your favorite team on the one of the flatscreen televisions.
FantasticFridays are always on point. Excellent DJs, hypeman and atmosphere. This isnt a club, its an experience for those with positive vibes and a love for the divine dancefloor. Dress comfortably, be careful walking in but most importantly check your attitude at the door.
I had a good time last night drinks music was good my waitress was move and friendlyThanks
Roomy for a nice sized party
Service terrible and it took a while for someone to assist us. Also, I came from out of town trying to support but I took my business somewhere else.

Nice, quaint atmosphere.
It was nice.
A welcoming ambience, delicious cuisine, and Cool Jazz Sundays! A beautiful hidden gem in the City of Inglewood. California.
I wish I was able to give this place no stars!!! We had a catered event at this place and the service was awful!!! First off they only had two servers and they were rude and lazy. Secondly they tried to hide and put the food up an hour into our six hour window. Third they wouldnt give us any ice!!!! If you want somewhere nice to hold a social event this is not the place!!!
Excellent food! Excellent service!
Bar Services very good
