The Lobby Cafe & Bar

Odd place connected to a sushi restaurant. Drinks were great but the food was hit or miss (I suggest the Spanish sausage but not the burger). A bit crowded with servers split between the two restaurants

Tasha was absolutely wonderful, very soft spoken which we loved and took great care of us. Even offered an amazing recommendation for dessert, the tempura cheesecake, and it was divine. Thank you so much for creating a wonderful experience for us! We come to sushi Neko often, but this time we sat in the lobby bar and what an amazing experience it was, we will be back to request Tasha :)

Went in tonight to grab a drink and sat at the bar very briefly until my partner and I were notified by an employee that it was reservations only and that they had a waitlist. I've never been to a place with a bar that was reservations only. Heard they had a good old fashioned selection by a friend but I don't think we will come back because of this experience. There wasn't anyone watching the door as we entered and we were about to sit down to order a drink. There were quite a few tables open so that was a little frustrating but mostly because of the bar situation. I'm assuming this was an issue because of sushi neko seating in the lobby bar. Doesn't seem like the best use of the area because I assumed the Lobby Bar was the Lobby Bar and Sushi Neko was Sushi Neko but I guess not. Definitely didn't make us feel welcomed. Will not come back again.

Just moved to the area and this place was close and the menu online looked good. I decided to try it out. After walking through the front door at 1 PM today and saw one or two other tables with people eating there. I was told by the man at the register to go next door to sign in at Sushi Neko. After doing that, I was walked back to The Lobby to sit at a table where I waited for 5 minutes to have my drink order taken. The employee who sat me asked if I wanted a paper menu or if I could just use the QR code on the table. I opted for the QR code, which took me to the same online menu I saw at home.The server brought me my drink and then asked if I wanted a starter, but I attempted to order something from the lunch menu. The server then looked confused and went back to the register to get a device. He told me that they didn't serve any of those items anymore and listed a few of the dinner entrees that I definitely didn't want. He informed me that the menu is basically switching to that of Sushi Neko's, so I asked to cash out and left. The server was very apologetic and offered to give me a to-go drink, but I was just interested in leaving by that point.None of the employees I interacted with did a bad job or did something wrong. I think that this place has definitely seen better days and is clearly transitioning into something else. They should have just posted something about the menu change on the door or on their website so people wouldn't be caught off guard and told the things they came there to eat just weren't an option anymore. Not sure why management hasn't just advertised that this place is basically another dining room for Sushi Neko.

This is a fun place to go have drinks after work! They have a nice venue with a good drink and wine menu. They do need to update their online menu because it's not up-to-date. But the ambience is chill and upscale and it's mostly quiet. They have local art and it's very cool and trendy. I think this will be an addition to my watering holes.

The Lobby Bar is a slick spot to sip a cold one. With the mercury outside heading towards 90, I dropped in to wet my whistle on such a hot summer day, and the joint was exactly as I remembered the last time I was here. The cold black granite bar counter is perfect for sucking the heat right out of you. I was happy that they had Anthem's OK Pils (in a can) and Sidekick Dude got a Twisted Spike IPA (on draft).The menu looked good, but with me being on a liquid diet, I passed on food. I would definitely come back for a bite sometime, though.

Had some after dinner drinks - their signature old fashioned was really well done. We didn't get to try the food but from what we saw it looked pretty good - we want to come back and try them out. Cute little spot on Western.

I went to The Lobby for the first time on a Saturday for brunch and it really made an impression on me! I had never been to this area of the city before and I thought it was absolutely awesome! This restaurant is right in the same building of the Will Rogers Theatre! And the vibe and decor of the theatre continues into the restaurant flawlessly. I loved all the art pieces on the wall! As for the food...SPECTACULAR. I ordered the breakfast empanada and my husband ordered the duck pot pie. Both dishes were super tasty and absolutely gorgeous!I can't wait to return to try their dinner and lunch menu!

Pros: fried chicken steam bun. Delicious and perfectly fried and seasoned fried chicken in a steamed rice bun. The hoisin sauce and pickled vegetables make for a perfect bite. The seared tuna and Oklahoma dynamite roll were also excellent choices off the sushi Neko menu. Gyoza was good but nothing special. Also tried the tomato bisque and bean and bacon soup: both good. Chicken sandwich was also delicious. Cons: the pork belly ramen -- the noodles were way over cooked and soggy. The meat was hard and seemed like they were pan fried which was unusual for me. The broth was ok but a little on the Light side for me, I'm used to tonkotsu broth being a little more creamy/hearty.

Love the Lobby Bar; great food and atmosphere. Make a reservation to ensure a table. Best date night location.
