   Food is not great. Everything else was fine - very good service, fair surroundings - wouldn’t go back.

   Villa Lulu is a cute spot downtown. My boyfriend and I decided to go here for our weekly date night, and we had a good experience. The salads and appetizers were definitely the highlight; our main courses were just okay. We actually had two servers who seemed to be confused about who was meant to be taking care of us. We had each turn of service question asked twice; we were almost convinced it was a kind of bit/comedy routine. Decent evening, overall.

   Wife & I shared a shrimp scampi to start. 4 shrimp, but enough. Delectably prepared. A nice buttery garlic lemon. Nothing overpowered. Wife had eggplant Parm,, I had chicken Parm. Both were fabulous. Eggplant was at least 1-1/2" thick overall, with thick, tender individual slices. The chicken covered 3/4 of my plate, with a nice side of linguine. Also rather thick, but tender enough to cut with a fork, and juicy. Service could have been better, but we did see our server in both dining rooms. Overall, really great!

   Nice brunch menu with very good service. A plus it's directly across the street from the Shubert Theater. The only negative and it's important that the regular dining tables are on the 2nd floor up a very long flight of stairs. Seating on the 1st floor is either high top seating or the bar.

    The food was outstanding. After a good start with speedy checking from server for appetisers and very quick receipt of apps, seemed we were forgotten to take main course orders. Ended up waiting a bit for that and the bill. The food was wonderful though. Hanger steak one of the best I’ve had, the mushroom parpardelle was fantastic. Both mushrooms & my daughter’s sautéed asparagus had an amazing flame broiled taste, which I love so much.
