The queens and staff at Lips redefine what it means to eat well and laugh heartily. The menu is easy to read and clearly labels everything. Any extra add ons were communicated if we chose to take them. The food was delicious and fresh. All of the staff were professional and kind. The entertainment was out of this world! Very few other places do you see your waitress cartwheel across a stage to a Broadway number. If you haven’t gone yet, don’t hesitate to check it out.

Lovely restaurant for dinner. The service was efficient, warm and professional. The food was delicious with adequate portions. I had the lentil soup which was excellent and my lamb was exactly how I enjoy it.
