This is for a Lulu’s wine event. We paid $72 per person per ticket, including all the fees. The event was marketed as unlimited tasting and bottomless breakfast tacos. I would not say it was either. It was very difficult to get a taste of either! In part, I think the space (which as aesthetic) was too small for the number of tickets sold, so it was difficult to reach the different wine booths. I maybe had a total of half a glass of wine from the tasting. We ended up just buying a bottle from the event for $18 so that we could at least drink something but then they charged us a $15 corking fee. It was a white, and they didn’t even have cold ones stocked. There were barely any tacos put out on the serving table and they came out very slowly - maybe 8 at a time. Attendees were swarming the server the second he appeared with the plate. I was in a group of six and with very vigilantly watching the tacos come out, we averaged to snag 1.5 tacos per person. Lulu’s sells 2 tacos for $17. The tacos were good, when you could get your hands on them. You’re definitely better off not going to an event and instead just doing a regular brunch. It would’ve been cheaper and less frustrating. Definitely disappointed in the event and wouldn’t try another one here.

Overcharged me after rude service and stingy size drinks. I just noticed and their phone line doesn’t even connect me to a human in order to get a refund and mailbox is full.

Average experience. Honestly thought the food was overpriced and they were really stingy with ingredients - very small glasses for the cocktails, very thin layer of avocado on the thick toast, barely any butter or powdered sugar on other dishes. I also felt weird needing to use the app to ask a question to the servers, though they did immediately come to the table. The place was cute - it felt like Scottsdale AZ with the cacti and other aesthetics. But I probably won’t return, eh..

Came to Lulu's for a watch party. They have a TV outside on their patio and two inside. As mentioned, you order via a QR code for everything. This includes water refills, extra cutlery, etc. This streamlines ordering exactly what you want and you also pay your tab this way. We ordered their pumptini for the night and I got a roasted carrot salad. The cocktail was shown on paper to be $14 but was actually $15. For how small it was, I wouldn't expect to pay that much for a cocktail. Everything seemed absurdly overpriced. For a salad and cocktail it was about $40 with tax and tip. The salad however was really good. I probably won't return just because of the prices, but maybe in the summer for wine.

Five stars all around. This was our first time at LuLu’s and we’ll definitely be back. 100% a place you want to bring a date or friends and family from out of town. Food was good, decent portions for the price, and the vibe was great - lighting that wasn’t obnoxiously dark or bright, music that was meant to be in the background so you could hear it but also talk at a normal volume, and cool seating near heaters if you just wanted to chill with a drink instead of having a whole meal. The Manager was the best I’ve interacted with, when I brought up missing avocado on my sandwich she was awesome about it; and when it turned out I was wrong - I didn’t actually check the box for avocado - the she was so gracious, didn’t give me grief, and still hooked us up with some cake (don’t let the picture fool you into thinking it’s boxed cake, it’s not, it’s the most amazing leche cake). Seriously, not a flaw to be found.PS The whipped feta is going to be the best you’ve ever had and the avocado ceasar is delish.
I came here for a friend's birthday brunch. I loved everything I ordered, especially their Chimayo (ordered it a few times). They have amazing fries and avocado toast! I'll be back again for sure!

Honestly, this place is a 5/5. Everything was perfect. My partner and I came here on a date and sat at the back patio. Two of the employees were smoking outside, though, and the smell was so bad that we - both of us have asthma - had to leave. If the workers weren’t allowed to smoke outside, or if they were asked to smoke outside the pro area, that would have solved the problem. I highly recommend this place, but the smoking last night was an issue.

We went for brunch and overall it was a great experience. You order via a QR code which was efficient with drinks coming out just a few minutes after the order was placed. The staff were friendly and always around to clear the table and help with anything you need. The breakast tacos and fries were both big hits. We also had a piece of funfetti cake for a treat. The inside space was cute and we had plenty of room for our group of four. I could also see this being a great option for a larger group since folks can order and close out their tabs at their own pace. We will definitely be back.

I have never had such rude treatment from the front desk staff and especially from the lady we assume is the manager. The servers were friendly. Food was ok. But the front desk staff was so ridiculous I am writing a review for the first time ever. Rude and horrible judgement on how to treat
Creative food. The service was excellent, and the Wine Garden owners decorated the location beautifully for the holiday season.

Really nice selection of food and wine, a gem in the city. With seating all around, you definitely will get a space to enjoy year round.

This place is ok. You order through an app and then you're served. I really didn't interact with much staff and the atmosphere was meh. One and done for me.

We enjoyed a couple of appetizers and some tasty wine. It was kinda loud inside but not too

Loved this place! I would recommend sitting in the outdoor patio if you can, it's very cute. The service is a bit slow, and we had to ask three times to get water refills + place our food order, but they were all accommodating and nice. The food is awesome! I wish I could have ordered everything on the menu! I would specifically recommend the whipped feta dish, that was spectacular!
