So incredibly disappointed!! Had a reservation and it did not matter. Still had to wait another 30 mins past our reservation time. What's worse is the man at the host station was rude and clearly played favorites to his friends coming in. As we waited 3 groups came in without reservations and were seated before us. One of the large groups without a reservation, the host new and greeted 2 of them by name and told them he would take care of them. Us and another party who had also been waiting since well past our reservation time questioned him and he was rude and aloof. Stated he could not seat our parties at those tables, despite telling the other guy to "pull 3 tables together " to accommodate his buddies group. Finally seated and it was so loud in the restaurant you can barley have a conversation at your table. Our server was clearly inexperienced. Made no recommendations and simply acted as an order taker. We asked what the soup was and we were told it was minestrone. When it came out it was clearly some sort of tomato bisque. The server did not even notice. When asked she replied oh well the kitchen must have switched to that. Seriously?? That's your reply! We ordered entrees after clarifying the dish had tomatoes and olives, server confirmed. It came out with no tomatoes and instead read sauce. When asked the server said "there's tomatoes in the sauce" again, wow. This place is not cheap and for that I'd expect good service and informed servers, sadly not the case! Parking is a nightmare and there is nowhere to stand while you wait.

Absolutely a must every time my friends and I come to round top!!! Delicious!!!!!! …. AND i left an envelope with my cash on the table last night. The staff turned it in and made sure I got it back. WONDERFUL food and even better staff. We love Lulus!!!!! Thank you!!!!
Great place. Beautiful interior. Exceptional bar. Delicious dishes . I tried the spaghetti and meatballs, and I recommend it. Parking can be an issue if you dine during the antique shows. So enjoy the antiques and walk over to enjoy this amazing place. The staff is top-notch. Your date would like a Lady Cello for an absolute fantastic drink. Try it with Belvedere.. you will regret not trying this place..

As the only real fine dining style restaurant in Round Top this place sort of had a lot to live up to. And I feel bad writing this review because the staff really was trying their best. Our server and the host were both great and the vibes of this place are really niceBut the food was, honestly, horrible. My wife and I tried 8 things off the menu including cocktails and honestly would not recommend a single one of them. Every single dish was a major let-down, and the cocktails were basically undrinkable. We tried our best and literally couldn't finish a single thing we served. The cocktails were the worst; I cannot stress enough that you simply should not order one. We barely took two sips of ours before giving up. The lobster ravioli was the lowest point; it's overpriced, with a strange-tasing sauce that does not fit this type of dish, thick and chewy pasta, and two tiny bits of lobster meat for the price of $60 (!).It has been awhile since we have had such a poor experience and been so let down by a restaurant that came so highly recommended.Again: the staff is great, and the vibes are awesome. But I can't recommend this place based on the food that we had

Nice quaint lil place. The food was great, except we had a group of 16 and some peoples food came out cold. Mine did not. They have the best fresh bread. Very nice people. Little pricey for a lunch meal. I would definitely go again.

We had the reservation and the waiter took our order, saying “ it might take a bit longer than usual” , we waited for 1 hour 20 minutes only for him to come back and say that half of our order from the menu was not even available, and then the Pear and rucola salad came without a pear ..I understand they were overcrowded but with the service like this I assume it will not be a problem soon…

We were dining at Lulus tonight.I ordered risotto with variety of mushrooms ,pieces of lobster and truffle oil. It was an expensive entree.The dish was completely misrepresented. The risotto was runny not too tasty . It had baby portobellomushrooms only and a few small pieces of lobster claws. Waitress was very sweet but she did not check on the meal after food was delivered.When she came with the check I let her know that I will write a review.

Dined here for our Anniversary and it was exactly the experience we were hoping for. Had the grilled Caesar, the beef tenderloin which came with a generous portion of delicious mushrooms, and the pasta bolognese. Charming and beautifully decorated throughout, great food and welcoming staff, will definitely visit again!

The absolute worst restaurant that I have been to in years...ordered the arugula and pear salad...pears were nasty rotten...would not serve to a customer. Had to send it back to kitchen which I never do. Also flys were an issue.

Food was very good! Service was friendly and pretty quick. Cute building with ample seating, although a bit tight.

My parents' pasta was good. My food was sent back twice, because it was cold. The waitress attitude was amazing, but the manager, Ramon, even though he waved us from paying for the entire bill, the way he came out and told us not to pay and leave, was so rude, I will not recommend the place.
