TuLu Seaside Bar & Grill

Some of staff and servers were nice, but our server was terrible and rude. The food is awful. Everything is designed for people who just want the trendiest food and couldn't care less about taste.

This is my new favorite restaurant in Virginia Beach. Food is so flavorful with a lot of healthy options, with a broad assortment on appetizers. Their mushroom and goat cheese pizza was on point! We also ordered the Mediterranean Nachos, and they were phenomenal. We went to celebrate a birthday and got a sweet birthday card and free dessert. The service was exceptional. And the waterfront view is spectacular. I can't wait to go back.

I want to start off by saying that the restaurant is beautiful. It overlooks the ocean and it is a very nice set up. The problem lies in the fact that we have celiac disease, and we're told by the staff, waiter and even the chef that came out to speak to us at our request, that are food would be gluten-free and safe for celiacs. Once food started coming out, problems began. We were told that our appetizer was gluten-free initially, but once delivered we were told it was not. When we asked to get some clarification from the kitchen, he came back (holding bread over it for another table) and said that it was gluten-free (Very confusing). We ate it trusting him, but looking back, probably should've just not had that appetizer. When our meals came out, we ordered a cauliflower gluten-free crust that the chef had promised was going to take extra care and put it on a separate tray in the oven, to be extra safe. Not only did it take 45 minutes to an hour for the food to come out, but our Pizza was a normal crust, not the gluten-free cauliflower crust that he had promised us. There again, I felt very skeptical at our food choices, and the service that evening in the kitchen. Speaking about wait time, It was absolutely ridiculous. We had three children with us one a toddler and never expected to wait over 45 minutes for our main dishes to come out. We normally expect a longer way time due to the gluten-free aspect of our dining, but this was 45 minutes of silence from the server. Never coming around to check us, bringing us water, forgetting to bring my husbands drink for about 20 minutes or even bringing us plates to eat off of. I do feel that he was rushing around, and I felt bad for the wait staff because it seemed under staffed. I know that he was trying hard to do the best he could. To top it off, my husband and I have been sick all night. Not fun and despite the positive, I would never recommend this place to anyone with an allergy ever. Not worth the risk.

Perfect place for any celebration! Our party of 4 had a great view, excellent service and cuisine. High suggest their Shrimp & Pesto Pizza and the Tulu Lean Burger, a favorable blend of bison, elk, waygu beef and wild boar, aged cheddar, lettuce, local tomato, onion, and organic greens,

We waited over an hour and never had even the salad delivered. We left because we got no food. And we had Reservations and We were sat on time.

Server Dominic P. was excellent..nice atmosphere..food was good..thanks FOR GREAT EXPERIENCE

Ate breakfast today with friends. Overall, a good experience, it's such a beautiful design restaurant. While my food was okay, 2 friends that ordered the avocado bowl had brown avocado in each of them. The restaurant got busier as we were there, and the service suffered as a result, evidently. Eventually we gave up on getting our water glasses refilled, e.g.!

Great food, half price wine on Tuesday nights, and friendly, knowledgeable service from Cara!

Melinda was terrific server. She was very attentive. Checked back several times to see if we needed anything else.
