    The $19.99 3 course meal is hard to beat in this trendy and fun place. Fun to sit outside whilst being cooked by water mist and watching life go by.

    The breakfast is FANTASTIC, the best I have ever had. Fluffy pancakes, cooked to perfection. Tastiest bacon & eggs ever. The service was great, very clean, & the atmosphere is so cool. 5 stars (;

    Pretty good for Palm Springs and the blood orange margarita was dangerously delicious. Otherwise feels very overhyped for the food but the decor is great and the food is pretty good.

    The curry chicken salad is light and refreshing on a hot day. Ask for an *extra* side of the curry dressing, so good!

    Best scallops I have had in my life. Left-overs of it even went well. Amazing food and ok service. Also had the tuna appetizer (ok), spinach dip was phenomenal, crab cakes are a must :)

    Chicken wings diablo are soooo juicy and yummy. You have got to tast them. Also panini sandwiches are great.

    Great restaurant with a diverse menu, excellent service. Make a reservation. Only complaint was the oyster with creme fraiche and caviar. Just get them without the creme fraiche.Delicious otherwise.

    The pre-fixe menu was awesome! Lulu was the perfect place to celebrate with friends and have a fun dinner out while visiting Palm Springs.

    Yomigod the Tuna Tartare with avocado is to die for! The happy hour vodka martini's? Yeah they are okay. I'm guessing call vodka. Can't really complain, they are dirt cheap and get the job done.

    The scallops and flourless triple chocolate cake were the bomb. The manager, greg and mike made our honeymoon dinner great. Great atmosphere will be back on our 1st anniversary.

    The look of the place is great. It was absolutely packed. The service was slow and the food was underwhelming. I’m not really sure what all the hype is about. I was disappointed.

    After reading the last negative tips.. I must say this restaurant has worked out the kinks. Second time here and I rave about the food & the service. Staff is friendly. The cocktails are excellent

    Sit at the bar for happy hour prices all day. Lobster quesadilla for under $10? Yes please.

    Super crowded and loud. The service was poor, and the food is not good. I ordered Stella on tap and had to send two back because they were flat. The ravioli is like goulash and inedible. Zero stars.

    So they have an expansive breakfast menu that for some inexplicable reason they don't serve during brunch. They had 3 breakfast items on the brunch menu. Idiots.

    Menu selections & availability are weak. No Brunch menu available at 1:30p on a Sun? I dubiously ordered the ahi tartare. I took a bite and sent it back immediately. Frozen & mealy. Will not be back.

    Nice patio with friendly staff. Most of the dishes could have done with 50% less salt. Also, the mousse had far too much sugar.

    Lulu's has a 12-hour happy hour that begins at 11 a.m. and lasts until closing. All you need to do is sit near the bar at a high-top.

    Ok they are so good that when they packed my extra food to go, they put plastic utensils. Clearly they know tourists are roaming inPalm Springs and clearly they know how to please us!
