We enjoyed a great meal - all the food was excellent! Our server Monica was really attentive and when my mother-in-law found the blackened fish over dirty rice too spicy, Monica had the kitchen cook her the same meal plain. The blackened fish was wonderful though as was the lamb chops - cooked perfectly. Thanks again to Monica for being a great server.

We went to Lula on a Friday night after attending the New Orleans Jazz Fest all day and wow, yum! We had boudin eggrolls, which were wonderful with a sweet fig sauce. We also had a crab/avocado dip with crispy wanton chips. And we shared a salad with blue cheese topped with fried shrimp. There are cocktails on tap, and I had a very refreshing pomegranate lemonade with the house-made vodka. The service was great and it was altogether a wonderful evening. The ambiance was welcoming, and so was the service, and the music wasn't too loud or annoying. Patrons ranged from ragged post-fest people like us in shorts and Ts to people in business casual to a couple of parties who were dressed up and obviously celebrating. It has a very relaxed vibe and we will definitely be back. We also bought two bottles of the house-distilled bourbon, which is delightful and not expensive.

Enjoyed all the small plates we shared! The Boudin egg rolls and cucumber Collin's were to die for! Our server Braxton I believe, was super attentive and kind! Would definitely return.

Over all the food and service were wonderful. BEWARE! They charge you to use your credit card. The legal limit as of 4/1/23 is 3.00%. The claim there is a cash discount. A cash discount would be off the menu price, not increasing your bill if you pay by credit card. I'm reporting them and would encourage you too.

I actually reduced my tip amount by the surcharge amount.

The host/manager was a bit off and made us stand in the doorway for several minutes before seating us in a near empty restaurant but once we were seated our server was great and the food was exceptional. Amazing gumbo and the crawfish mac and cheese was a winner. Solid drinks too. Check this place out.

A memorable meal. Excellent suggestions by our waiter Braxton A. Loved the black glazed ribs and the peach pie a la mode had a different twist! The house vodka was smooth and the Cucumber Collins was refreshing, all for a for a pretty reasonable price!

Food was okay. Sugar cane pork skewers were not my favorite - seasoning had a weird aftertaste. My Point Blue Reyes salad with fried chicken was great. Shrimp and grits were acceptable but the fried green tomatoes were hard as rocks. Server forgot us for a bit and didn't remember a side dish that never came. Overall not up to NOLA standards in food or service. Beautiful building though. Nice concept.

We enjoyed Lula and will go back. Our service was very good and the drinks were excellent and well priced. We had the Crawfish Queso and Fried Pickles as appetizers. They were excellent—Fried Pickles the best we've had. The gumbo was good but we've had better. The Shrimp and Grits were very good! We had no room for dessert!

I'm from Los Angeles, California, and coming to this distillery was such a great experience overall. I had a Collin's Cucumber Refresher to drink, the fried pickle appetizer to start with, and the fried chicken sandwich for dinner. For someone who is in a huge fan of pickles, I highly recommend the fried pickle appetizer! They Finley sliced the pickles and fry them in a deep batter and served 10 pickles to share, with a side of their homemade pickled – ranch dipping sauce. It was seriously so delicious. The fried chicken sandwich was also very appetizing, and I wish I made it spicy for $1.50 extra. I asked for no molasses sauce, a personal request, and was an overall delicious sandwich with the pickled – ranch dipping sauce. My best friend and I were super full from our meals, and she had gotten the crawfish macaroni and cheese for her entrée, with a side salad + ranch dressing. We were both so stuffed, we had no room for the delicious dessert menu! Lola distillery is definitely a 8.5 out of 10 review. XO, Elizabeth and Amanda. 

Visiting the city for the first time. Found this place and WOW! Loved the look, atmosphere, service and the food was delicious! The service was great and our server was knowledgable and provided great feedback on our food choices. We'll be back.

Drinks are great and very clean tasting. Bottomless vodka drinks for $20 11a-3p well worth it! Crawfish and and cheese- creamy cheesy goodness, blackberry ribs- fall off the bone melt in your mouth, pork skewers melt in your mouth amazing flavor, fried pickles-light and crunchy not greasy very good with poblano dipping sauce. Definitely a stop in New Orleans if you looking for something to eat and drink this is the place to go!Dietary restrictions: Vegan and gluten free options
