About this business
Editorial fromHuge brick ovens and a rotisserie, complete with churning and roasting chicken, duck and lamb, anchor the cavernous main dining room and provide warm light and rich smells across the bustling room. Since the starters and small plates are…

Shut the Doors and Change the Staff! – This has to be by far the worst restaurant I've ever eaten at in San Francisco. It wasn't that the food was bad, it wasn't, but the majority of the staff was extrememly rude. While waiting for our table at the bar, the bartender was too busy speaking to her friends to ask us if we needed anything. Once seated, it took another 20 minutes to receive water and a basket of bread. When our waitress finally arrived, she didn't know what the specials were. It took another half hour for our foo... read more
Not a fan – Being that Lulu is a well known restaurant in SF I decided to give it a second try. And again I wouldn't rate it anything above average. The food is okay but nothing special. The place is crowded and noisy. It is also just a big restaurant, so it doesn't have an intimate feel. I guess it can be good for big parties but that is about it. I wouldn't go there if you are looking for a real find or an occasion to remember.
Seriously overpriced – Went here after seeing it was in the Chronicle's Top 100. Some of our faves had dropped out, so wanted to see what was so good about some of the other places. We eat out often in SF and were not impressed by the pricing -- the quality was poor for what we paid, fish was overcooked, and who wants to pay $11 for a salad when the waiters wear jeans?! Wine list was overpriced and didn't leave much for someone who wants a bottle under $40. Beware--the open rotisserie will mean you'll leave smelling like swe... read more
le francais le voudrais oui oui oui. bring me some good-tasting authentic restaurant is what lulu restaurant has to offer for the french eating person like myself.
Wish I had read recent reviews, DON'T GO! – CitySearch should re-evaluate their rating if they give this place a 9.0!!! We had 6 in our party which is not overwhelming. @e will not be going back based on our experience!!! We had a reservation and took them while to seat us. Our order was not taken promptly. Appetizers came right away but we didn't get our entree until an 1.5 hr after we ordered. The service was atrocious!! Never once did they ask to see how we were doing. Once we were finished with dinner we asked for the ca... read more
sweet lulu's! Inexpensive Mediterranean Restaurant high on decor and food. Terrific place at the bar to people watch. Wonderful food served family style. a good place to go when you are looking for a festive night on the town!! plus the food is very tasty
Overpriced Underwhelmed! – $112.00 for two, with only 1 glass of wine and 1 cocktail. Where do you begin. Its not the dollar amount that bothers me, hardly, its the lack of value,i.e, the very cold signature lamb dish, (which btw is suppose to be served hot) the very non existent service, 45 mins between appetizer and entree. Party of 4 sits down 25 mins after we did, was served first and finished before we did. With so many restaurants to choose from in the City, I certainly wouldn't recommend spending your time and or mone... read more
Great food, fun atmosphere – I've been to Lulu a few times and everytime was great! Most recently I went for New Year's Eve and the menu was impressive. The staff is always really friendly and the bartenders are fun to talk to. Steph in particular was really effiecient and pleasant. Unlike other reviews I found the manager to be very professional. (glasses, goatee) He asked how our meal was on the way out and welcomed us back. I'll definitely be dining at Lulu again soon. Try the profiteroles for dessert!
Appalling service. I mean REALLY bad. – I have eaten at LuLu in years past, with good success. But I cannot express how badly we were treated by the staff at Lulu at the most recent visit. Our group of 6 waited 45minutes after our reservation (after watching several others tables placed in our stead), as the hostess overlooked the order of seating her tables. 2 1/2 hours from seating to exit was uncalled for. Not one apology, no expression of "delay in the kitchen". Our final experience in the restaurant was trying to kindly... read more
