Rave On

"The food was absolutely fantastic! The service, however, needs improvement. Our hostess brought us to a table that was evidently unclean. She stepped away to get cleaning spray and a cloth and quickly returned, but then, instead of spraying the cleaner on the cloth, she sprayed it on the table, splashing it on my clothing. Then, she cleaned around the salt and pepper shakers rather than moving them and cleaning the entire table. ...and she didn't dry the table, so we had to wait for it to air-dry. These are rookie mistakes. Our server was polite and warm but made mistakes with our order. She also complained to us that her feet were tired and sore. That's inappropriate. As I said, the food was wonderful, but the staff needs better training."

"Mixed Experience I recently dined at Rave On, and my experience was a bit of a mixed bag. The atmosphere was pleasant, creating a welcoming ambiance. However, my disappointment stemmed from the food. I ordered the Spanish paella, and to my dismay, the rice tasted like it came from a quick-fix box rather than being authentically prepared. The short ribs were unfortunately dry, and the raw oysters were surprisingly warm, raising concerns about freshness. On a positive note, the crabcakes were enjoyable. The redeeming factor of the evening was undoubtedly the desserts. The Biskoff cheesecake and the olive oil apple dessert were nothing short of spectacular. While the desserts left a lasting impression, the overall dining experience, especially with the subpar main dishes, makes it unlikely for me to return to Rave On."

"Rave On truly lives up to its name, offering an experience that's as vibrant and delightful as its culinary offerings. The cocktail menu is a standout, with each drink crafted to perfection, providing a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate. The scallops and shrimp, expertly cooked, are a testament to the chef's skill, showcasing a delicate balance of texture and seasoning. The bruschetta, a classic dish, is reinvented here with a burst of fresh, bold flavors that elevate it from a simple starter to a memorable part of the meal. The service at Rave On is equally commendable. Attentive without being intrusive, the staff ensures that every aspect of your dining experience is seamless, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. This makes Rave On an ideal spot for a pre-show dinner, where the lively ambiance and exquisite food set the stage for a wonderful night out. Whether it's the cocktails, the seafood, or the small plates, every element at Rave On works in harmony to create a dining experience that's not just satisfying, but truly memorable."

"My wife and I ate here prior to going to the nutcracker ballet. First we want to say that I was a great idea for a fine dining restaurant like this one to be located in the performing arts center. Very convenient for those who want to attend and even being hosted there. The food here was pretty good. I had the Mahi Mahi while my wife had the Fillet Mingnon. Along with these we had the corn and Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese and the scallops were maybe the best of what we ordered. They had a different flavor than our other food and paired well with our drinks. If we do come back to Lubbock to come to another event like the Ballet or something else, we will definitely eat here again."
