The bar set up is beautiful and the cocktails are very tasty. Thank you for having us for my husband's birthday!

Everything was wonderful with the drinks, food and service. Only thing that was a bit of a disappointment with the food was that there were no sides with the burger. Also every time the front door opened all of us in the first few tables froze and we all wish the barrier would have been longer to block that so we could all enjoy our dinner and drinks more. Overall we loved it there and the staff was wonderful.

We went to Lulus for Valentines. I know this holiday is crazy for restaurants and stressful. With that said, the food was great and the person bringing the food to our table was super friendly and very apologetic for the delays. What was off putting was that we were told there is a strict 1.5 hour time limit (even though we had reservations) and there was no table service. We ordered at the bar, which was fine, but didn't make sense with such a strict time limit. The host actually walked up to our table, before we got all of our food, and said “excuse me, we have another reservation waiting.” I've never ever had anyone tell me that at a restaurant. It just makes for a bad experience...basically, they want t people to order, get food asap, eat as fast as you can and leave. Kind of crappy. If we were “allowed” to stay longer, we would have ordered more drinks and food. I think Lulus need to reevaluate how they handle reservations ...maybe take fewer reservations and get table service to help streamline food delivery and wait times. You can't have no table service, a strict time limit, and say you take reservations. It was a bad experience.

I made a reservation for a table, but when we got there we were seated at the bar. When booking, it did not specify table vs bar seating. I wanted to book a table, not bar seating. The food was fine and the cocktails were good, but definitely not worth the high price. The servers were very friendly but clearly were overwhelmed. They probably need more staff to accommodate.

It's seems like a place that's not sure whether it wants to be a bar or a restaurant. You have to order and pay your bill at the bar and then they put a number at your table. The ambiance may have been nice except there were a bunch of frat bros taking shots and yelling like they were back at the frat house. And the acoustics in the place made it really hard to talk without yelling. It doesn't seem like a place that should take $25 just to make a reservation. Unfortunately, the food wasn't good enough for me to come back.

The serrano based tequila drink on the menu was amazing! We started with the fresh rolls. Delicious pork belly and sauces with those. The oysters were unique and tasty with a light spice and trout roe. We finished with the duck empanadas which were outstanding! Service was great and the space is nice. I'll definitely visit again some day.

Don't miss the opportunity to indulge in Lulu's culinary delights.

This place is a TREAT. I recently found out I may have celiacs and it has been a nightmare trying to figure out what and where I can eat as someone in nightlife who frequently needs to eat out. Not only is everything clearly labeled, they go out of their way to record specifics about your allergies. And the FOOD! I got the mushroom and tofu saltado and I didn’t know those ingredients could taste that good. I’m going to quickly become a regular both in person and via ubereats
