    Service was superb- Very friendly and informative waiter. Seemed like he was genuinely happy to be there. The food was also very good. We have not been to Lulus in a while and we were pleasantly surprised! Always a great spot to people watch!

    Prime rib was poor quality and chewy. Salad had way too much dressing… service was great but food was terrible.

    RAMON RAMON RAMON-the name of our server and a person to be remembered. RAMON served us when the diner was closing. He provided exceptional service and gave us a chance to celebrate a birthday for our friend. The food, ambiance and service were first-rate! We can't wait to dine at LULU again!
