    Inside decor
    Sam V.

    I was passing through and was hungry for dinner. I checked yelp and google for good food in area and saw the Monrovia Lounge. Curious about west African food I ventured in. I loved the spacious seating and the decor seemed authentic. The dark atmosphere was reminiscent of a dark night. I was happily greeted by a server who welcomed me letting me know I could sit anywhere. He asked if I had eaten there before and walked to the artful photos of some of there dishes on the the wall. As a first time customer I was given an appetizer of sweet fried plantains with a side of a very spicy sauce. They were cooked to perfection. The sauce was delicious but too spicy for my delicate stomach. Many of the the dishes have shellfish like shrimp and since I'm allergic unfortunately I had to pass. I ordered the Jollof Rice with Chicken. A rice dish containing corn, peas, green/red/yellow peppers, onions green beans, sausage and chicken wings. The dish was served piping hot and smelled delightful. My first forkful was a surprise to my palate, a delicious flavorful mix of spices. The dish was a bit spicy but nothing severe and perfectly balanced. The amount of food was plentiful and typically I would have taken some togo but not this time. The service was on par with some of the best restaurants in NYC where I'm from. One of the managers came to my table, greeted and thanked me for my patronage. We spoke of our love for food and he spoke of many of there traditional dishes from Liberia. I was treated like a celebrity or family and loved every minute of my experience at the Monrovia Lounge. Kudos to great food and spectacular service !

    Ordered the Goat pepper soup through door dash went to warm it up & discovered a dead maggot this is disgusting.. & make my skin crawl.. this isn't my first time eating here I just hope there wasn't anything in my last soup .. my first soup tasted good that's why I decided to get more . Please pay attention to the food you eat .. after this no more eating out !!!! I thank god I seen this before I consumed it.

    The place we once called home. If ever imagined relaxing and refreshing your head, Monrovia Lounge is the place to hangout. Their customer service skills are off the chain.

    We have variety of different dishes on our menus.

    What a fantastic find and how lucky to Lounge Here have it in Lakewood!…read moreWarm, welcoming staff and servers, accommodating and attentive. We made reservations and requested a booth and they seated us having acknowledged our request. The service ? Superb. Food? Creative, delicious and played beautifully! The space is welcoming, intimate, ideal for chill and convos. Lounge Here offers full bar, too. Live music on certain evenings, with what little bit we got to enjoy being ideal for the space and environment. If you want a varied and inspired menu, and great vegetarian offerings too) this is your place. Lounge Here is a brilliant gem among East Dallas Lakewood dining offerings! We are heading there again next week. Five stars and to ten more years! Thanks "LH!"

    Omg I really enjoyed my solo date! Skylar was my waiter, he was so attentive. Although he's fairly…read morenew he navigated the menu like a long time employee. I asked for his recommendations, everything he recommended was super yummy.. I started with some deviled eggs! The splash of hot sauce complimented the eggs so well and the crunch of the bacon put a nice twist to it. I really enjoyed the filling it wasn't too sweet nor did it have a lot of extra ingredients. 10/10 for sure!! For my entree I went with the blackened snapper, I subbed mashed potatoes instead of the potato salad. I'm very particular about my potato salad I was too nervous to try it. After speaking with Paula I wish I would've tried it. No worries I'll come back just to try it. This snapper is good some of the best blackened snapper I've had. It was so moist and flaky the cream sauce made it even better. Chefs kiss for sure! 10/10 For dessert I had the flourless chocolate cake, if you're a chocolate lover this will be your go to. Although it says cake to me it had more of like a fudge texture. The raspberry sauce really helped out with cutting the sweetness of the chocolate. The restaurants fairly small, they have a huge selection of alcohol. I wasn't able to order a drink I was still sobering up from the night before. The bartender I didn't get her name she was super pleasant and helpful as well! I'll most definitely recommend lounge here

    I visited Apothecary on a Sunday evening -- the left side (the original, not the side that Rye used…read moreto occupy). A low-lit lounge and bar, a space that feels intimate and yet, the music playing from the speakers (not too loud, just there) gives it an expectant energy, too. It's the kind of place you enjoy being because it feels like an experience. I'm going to have a unique, well-made drink tonight in a cool spot. The cocktail menu seems like it's updated every season or so, the bartenders/creators' names featured on the cover. Very cool. Will definitely be back.

    I tend to get overly descriptive but I'll TRY to keep this short and sweet…read more Hostesses- always have golden etiquette. Charming, polite, respectful, and pleasant to talk to. You know how sometimes you'll go to a nice place and the hostesses are catty, rude and have close to zero manners? That won't happen here! Even with their high class service, the bartenders expertise in all types of spirits, and the craftsmanship of each and every cocktail + plate. Anna was the hostess during the time i went who took my number down to add me to the wait list. She was soft spoken (welcoming with just that) and not to mention, GORGEOUS. S/o as well to Tanner for always being so accommodating and making every visit a 10/10 as well as the bartenders/cocktail peeps. if you guys are ever looking for a drink with a side of fabulous caviar, come here. enjoy the scene, the decor, and the whimsical vibes this place provides
