This was my first time to Lips, the Gospel Brunch was amazing. The opening songs before the show started had definitely set the vibe to a 10 only to be increased by the performances. Each performer was great with crowd participation.

The Ladies were amazing. The service and show were great. The food and drinks were not good at all so that's why the stars weren't higher. Too bad all the money doesn't go to staff because the food and drinks surely wasn't worth it

A fun time was had by all. God food, not great. The. Read served with my pasta was cold and so hard you could not eat it. The shrimp tacos only come with one tortilla which is lunacy. The show was great and the service was superb.
