    A must visit to this fun atmosphere! The food was delicious and the service was excellent. We ordered a bunch of appetizers - ahi poke nachos and hummus. Both melted in our mouths as the taste was amazing. Entrees were Chinese chicken salad, strawberry salad with grilled shrimp, chicken linguine and meatloaf. Highly recommend this restaurant!

    Brunch is always great at Lulu’s. I had the Asian chicken salad and it was watery with no flavor. I returned it and got the Belgian waffle, which was great. The waitstaff was great as always.

    Lulu is a can't-miss when in Palm Springs. Great food, exceptional service and pet friendly. Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, Lulu has something for everyone. We make it a point to visit at least once anytime we're in town. And don't even get me started on the three-course brunch! Lulu is exceptional.

    Had an amazing dinner here. My hubs started with the mushroom soup, recommended by our server,Todd. I hate mushrooms, but this soup was AMAZING! I ordered the short ribs and hubs the mahi mahi: both were fabulous! Topped it off by another recommendation, the buttery pound cake! You will be in heaven with this one!
