    Really enjoyed the grilled artichoke - the dipping butter had a nice nutty flavor. Could have used some kind of bread with the chicken salad. Ambience is very pleasant.

    We've always heard great things about this restaurant and it did not disappoint. The food, drinks and service were all great. We went on Valentine's Day so it was extremely busy but the staff did a great job of keeping up. And because of this, the menu was prix fixe, so we look forward to going back and trying the regular menu.

    We had our Valentine's Dinner with out of town friends at LuLu's. I'm so glad we picked LuLu's as our restaurant. The food and service were top notch. All of my friends enjoyed their meal. The restaurant had a violinist which made dining much more enjoyable and the restaurant was nicely decorated for Valentine's Day. I will definitely be returning for a meal in the near term. I highly recommend this restaurant and I have been a full time resident for over ten years now.

    A charming, very Palm Springs experience. The setting is beautiful - we ate in a cozy, cheerily tiled nook near the pool. Best Margarita ever. We had lunch - the menu was nicely varied with something for everyone. The tacos were amazing. We look forward to trying the rooftop which looks like an amazing place to enjoy a meal and cocktail. Mountain view, outdoor seating and a fireplace for cool evenings. Loved it!
