M-L MJune 19, 2015The $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.
Holly HendersonJuly 15, 2012The 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 (;

SiobhánJanuary 22, 2019Pretty 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.
Kyle HaskinsAugust 16, 2015The curry chicken salad is light and refreshing on a hot day. Ask for an *extra* side of the curry dressing, so good!
Michelle RoseMay 5, 2013Best 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 :)
Brian MusinyanAugust 15, 2016Chicken wings diablo are soooo juicy and yummy. You have got to tast them. Also panini sandwiches are great.
Brian GlickmanMarch 10, 2013Great 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.
Claudia Ceja-PerezJune 21, 2016Margherita pizza was excellent! And a glass of Pinot Grigio hit the spot!!
Hana NesbittJanuary 8, 2015The pre-fixe menu was awesome! Lulu was the perfect place to celebrate with friends and have a fun dinner out while visiting Palm Springs.- Joey ReiblingMay 10, 2013Yomigod 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.
Jonathan BerryMay 3, 2012The 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.
Sawyer StroudMarch 26, 2018The 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.
SuzieAugust 3, 2014Awesome food! Seabass was excellent. Key lime tart to die for! Ask for James, awesome server!!!
Paulina R.September 14, 2012After 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
George GaylNovember 10, 2013Sit at the bar for happy hour prices all day. Lobster quesadilla for under $10? Yes please.
Steve SinicropiMarch 3, 2017Super 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.
Robert Charles GervacioJune 16, 2018Love love this place! Recommend the Cosmo on happy hour! Also loved the ceviche 😀
Travis MorrisJuly 7, 2019So 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.
Lucie HarwoodOctober 8, 2019Great menu for lunch. Everything from sandwiches to ribs. Always consistent and good service.
Sacha St GermainMay 29, 2015Menu 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.
Wow. Get the flourless chocolate cake AND the cappuccino ice cream. Each are very good alone but together they're amazing delicious!
Gerry FortunaNovember 2, 2018a popular place and the service and food is great and there is outdoor and indoor seating
Stephen DorameJanuary 17, 2015Have dinner in the bar area with your date and order all things shareable. Great menu, great prices.
Erin AglioneApril 5, 2013Great food! Service was great. Ordered a pizza with gorgonzola cheese, Maui onion and pear. Delish!!!! Definitely coming back.
ChristianMay 12, 2017Nice patio with friendly staff. Most of the dishes could have done with 50% less salt. Also, the mousse had far too much sugar.
Tim PursellFebruary 27, 2014Don't miss a chance to eat here -- breakfast is superb with a great variety of items in classic categories.
Fun place to go in downtown Palm Springs ... pick from their menu or the "meal deal" and enjoy.
Eat the Poke Tuna Tower at the bar for happy hour price all day
Brian CarsonAugust 6, 2013The three course dinner for $20 is the way to go. The pork chop an tiramisu were fantastic.
Michael LeisApril 25, 2021Fun lunch. Fun drinks and decent food with great people watching right downtown
Dean NelsonNovember 7, 2011Angle pasta with Basil & Garlic is amazing! For an appie try the mushroom soup... Delic!
Lauren JensenAugust 6, 2012The key lime pie martini is a must! It's to die for! The tiramisu is so decadent and tall Mike is a wonderful server!- Christy LandesJanuary 17, 2019Touristy and not great food. Menu is huge. Sitting on the patio is good people watching. Eat somewhere else...
Jeanette PriceOctober 7, 2014Best service ever! The food was simply delightful and the drinks were nice and strong ;)
Jen RobinsonApril 2, 2012Lulu'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.
Nicolas Wendl🎥June 19, 2013Golden coconut shrimp was good, could have used a little more sauce. The Apple crisp desert was very yummy.
Julia ParkerDecember 14, 20123 courses for $20 menu is fantastic! We had excellent service on a busy night. Great place!
mary hodderOctober 14, 2012Go to the bar.. better food and drink prices and better service... mojitos and tower if tuna / avo is perfect snack.
marie battenDecember 16, 2011Mushroom soup-fantastic. And forget the bad service comments, tell your host that you are on the clock and have to eat and run...they are great!- Michael GeldardMay 4, 2013I dint know how you can ruin bacon but they did. Save your cash and go over the road too Rubys!
Patrick DanowskiOctober 10, 2013If you are into chocolate, the chocolate cake from the 3 course menu is amazing good.- SiobhánJanuary 22, 2019My partner loved his burger here. I found the pizza good though nothing mind blowing.
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!
