I had been to Lulu once a couple of years ago and loved it so was looking forward to going back! So disappointed. Server was very pleasant however the amount of time for food to be served after appetizers was ridiculously lengthy and when served the food was subpar. Ambience was not appealing either. Would not return
We enjoyed our dinner at LEILU. The food was excellent The cocktails were excellent The staff was excellent. Overall a great dinner! We will be back! Thank you. ? I'd loved the pretzel w the beer cheeses sauce !

Every town should have a place like Leilu where you are warmly welcomed, the food is always delicious, and the service is great. Bar room can get loud as the night goes on, but there is quiet dining upstairs.

Delicious food, my friend and I decided to go the small plate route and got a caesar salad, ahi tuna tostados, coconut shrimp, and a flatbread. Each plate was better than the next!! Kip, our waiter, couldn’t have been more attentive and friendly.

Came here on a Sunday with some friends, none of us have tried it before. The restaurant was dead , we were the only ones and sat upstairs. It had nice artwork and an open area to sit up there. We ordered drinks and the Martinis were made very well, exactly how we asked them to be made.
The food looked good with nice presentation, unfortunately nothing about the food was memorable at all. The devil balls were just meatballs, there was no chili flakes nor spice. My chicken special was ok, not too much flavor. My friend’s ahi tuna sandwich didn’t come with two sauces supposed to be on the sandwich until he was halfway through the sandwich. Maybe this was an off night. Overall the food was good but nothing really stood out as being great unfortunately.

Incredible dining experience in this little gem down in the heart of Huntington. I highly recommend the Devil Balls for an appetizer. All the dishes that we ordered were delicious . Reasonably priced with great service.
Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphere and room for children.
Wheelchair accessibility: Right in the front front of the entrance, first floor accommodations.

I was trying to book a party here for June. I called, no answer. I submitted my information on their website, no response. I emailed them directly using the email listed on the website, no response. I reached out on both Instagram and Facebook, no response (my Instagram DM wasn't even read, but I know someone is on their page regularly based on their posts). I called again, and left a message, no response. This was all within a 2 week time frame, I gave them a reasonable amount of time to respond. I then decided to call on a Saturday night, about 6pm, figuring someone would be able to speak. The person who answered the phone (a hostess maybe?) took my info and said she'd send it to her boss. I called back early the next week, and was told "I see your info here, I'll text my boss about it". Finally I called back again and was put on the phone with a man who I can only assume is the owner. He claimed they are not taking any party reservations anymore because they are in the process of either closing or being sold. I think I was pretty reasonable in just wanting to have been told that two weeks prior when I initially requested information.
It's a shame, this place is great and I love that they cater to different dietary needs. From what I understand, the owners are local to the area, and have restaurant experience. I also have experience in the business, and I'd never have let someone trying to pay me go two weeks with no contact. I booked my party at another local establishment. I'm sorry if they are closing (doesn't seem that way based on their social media), but if that's the case, I can see why if this is the experience others have had.
Lastly, the owner of this restaurant answered my review on another platform faster than I received a callback to book a party. She seems to spend a lot of time responding to negative reviews ASTONISHED that people were unhappy instead of reflecting and seeing what improvements can be made. It’s one thing to take pride in your business, it’s another thing to refuse to accept that maybe you have room for improvement. When I finally spoke to the husband, I expressed my sadness that they may be closing, as I never want a small business to fail, especially one local to my community. Their pattern of responding nastily to poor reviews shows their lack of commitment to accepting criticism and pivoting. Good luck in your future endeavors.

Had my daughter's bridal shower + got nothing but rave reviews for all those who attended. The food was awesome + the staff was extremely attentive. Have absolutely nothing bad to say + would plan another party there. Sam, our server, and her assistant were the best!

Food was very bland - we had the calamari to start which was the best part of the meal, and I got the harvest pasta and my wife got the classic burger. Drinks were good and atmosphere was fine. Probably won't be back.

Had a horrible time here with my boyfriend and had to leave and cancel our entrees after two cocktails and an appetizer. Unappetizing would be considered a compliment.??
our favorite place in the village. wonderful food , outstanding service the owner is always there and he's the best part of the restaurant.  Definitely tops in customer service.  Always great daily specials!! Neighborhood gem!!
The food at Leilu was very good and our waiter, Kip, was very friendly and attentive. We liked sitting upstairs because it was quiet and we could carry on a conversation and actually hear each other.

Food was cold both meals were sent back to the kithchen and still came back barely warm . Ordered desert and the chocolate cake was stale. Not worth $60 meal at all. Most disappointing

Leilu is an amazing restaurant, whether you're going with family, a date night, or friends night out! An amazing atmosphere with delicious menu options and great cocktails!

This was Valentines Day with a limited menu, the service was poor, and unacceptable. The menu stated to advise of any dietary concerns which we did but were told by the waiter there were no options. The fixed pricing was very high and well beyond holiday pricing. We've been here before, and my fault for not checking the menu and pricing in advance, but we feel the experience was less than desirable for 2 at approximately $250 with 1 drink with the food actually being average.
