    We had a great dinner at Lulu. Very large menu with enough options for everyone to enjoy (even have low carb choices listed). Service was great (ask to be seated in Todd’s section). We were too full for dessert but they looked amazing (pics playing on the tv in the restaurant). Will definitely return next time back in Palm Springs.

    Overall it was fine. I feel like they didn't have an experienced Chef on that night, we had a rookie. The food was very salty, especially the mushroom bisque, which otherwise would have been delicious. The cocktails were on the weak and sweet side and there was an overcharge on our bill, which they removed. I think it was just maybe an off night for them and I would give them another chance, as I see potential for it to be a better experience. They fixed everything without hesitation and the atmosphere and service was great.

    The waiter was nice. The food was awful. The prime rib was inedible. Just chewy sinew. I also had to repeatedly ask for horseradish. It was so bad I sent it back and ordered the lasagne. Which was ok but the meat had a weird cardboard like texture. Would not recommend. This place seems like a tourist trap. It also took a very long time to clear our plates even though they kept saying they would. All in all not a great experience.

    Their weekend brunch menu was packed with options, but our table went ALL-IN on the South of the Border Scramble... and wow, it did not disappoint Savory, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. Shoutout to the staff too -- super friendly and attentive! From coffee and tea refills to quick check-ins, they made our morning extra smooth. Definitely adding Lulu California Bistro to our rotation when in the Palm Springs area. Can't wait to go back and try their lunch next!

    I had grilled chicken with my beet salad . Grilled was good but was little on the dry side. My only notice. Mom like her egg plant parmagian. Uncle liked his tilapia fish all good . Desert was also very good apple crisp. And birthday flour less chocolate cake.

    My husband and I are regular customers and enjoy the comfortable ambiance, outstanding dishes, friendly service and value. The brunch menu included choices of an appetizer, entree and dessert. The French scramble was delicate, rich, velvety and the most delicious I have ever had. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the flavor and texture of Shrimp linguine. The large portion of the deep dark chocolate ice cream for dessert topped off the brunch.
