" I am still dreaming about the FABULOUS pecan pie I had at Lovecraft! It was the perfect sweet finish to an already wonderful meal. The service was excellent; our server recommended it, and it was spot on. I also enjoyed their famous green chili mac with brisket that had a wonderful cheesy and smoky flavor. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, I hope to bring my friends next time to share this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" My meal at Lovecraft was a delightful experience! The drinks to start off were amazing; I particularly enjoyed their unique mead options. The vegan tacos I ordered were fresh and bursting with flavor, definitely not your average vegan fare! It's not just the food that stood out—the service was impeccable. Our server was so friendly and informative about the menu items. I can't recommend this place enough to anyone looking for authentic New Mexican cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so much about Lovecraft, I finally decided to drop by and I was pleased with my experience! The aesthetic of the restaurant is eye-catching and adds a lot to the meal. I ordered tacos with smoked chicken and they were delightful. I would recommend anyone make a stop here, just make sure to go a bit earlier to beat the crowd! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Lovecraft with high expectations based on rave reviews, and let me tell you, it lived up! The ambiance is unique and vibrant. We ordered the green chili burger and it was packed with rich flavors. The staff were friendly; however, our drinks took longer than expected. Despite that minor hiccup, the food was delicious, making it a worthwhile visit. I can't wait to try more items on their menu next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Lovecraft was quite delightful! The ambiance struck me as quirky and creative, while the food was authentic New Mexican cuisine at its finest. I ordered the brisket enchiladas, and they were wonderful, full of flavor and richness. The service was friendly, but we experienced a wait for our food. Still, the overall vibe and delicious food made up for it. I will definitely come back, just maybe earlier in the evening to avoid the rush! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Lovecraft for the first time for brunch and the experience was memorable! The french toast with cinnamon and whipped cream was heavenly and very generous in portion. Staff were delightful. Atmosphere is lively and inviting—a perfect place for a brunch gathering with friends. I plan to return for dinner soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" First time dining at Lovecraft and I was impressed! The creative cocktail menu caught my eye and I enjoyed a fantastic lavender-infused drink. For food, I went with the spicy jalapeño poppers which were unique and flavorful. However, the highlight was definitely the staff who were very welcoming and attentive throughout my visit. I look forward to exploring more of the menu soon. " (*Curated Review*)
