    Booked a table for two with my wife to have a quiet dinner and drink. Cal and his team did not disappoint. A nice little snack for dinner a couple of ice-cold bevvies on a Thursday evening was perfect. We have enjoyed this local gem since opening and it never lets us down, good, honest food, cold drinks, great atmosphere and exceptional service. Lulu's has very easily become our local and regular for an easy dinner out. If you have not had the good fortune to experience the hospitality of Cal and his team, do yourself a favor and make a booking. BTW, try the Mango Sour (as recommended last night by Cal) it certainly hit the spot :)

    Wonderfully friendly and attentive staff who gave us the best table in the house for our anniversary dinner. The lamb and beef cheek were so melt in the mouth, paired with a very moreish red wine recommendation. Would highly recommend.
