   I had the mai tai (it was really good but a bit strong 7/10) and the fried noodles were amazing (9/10) . Our server was amazing as well

   We celebrated a birthday at Lulu Bar and had an amazing experience! They were very accommodating, finding space for our group of six, which we really appreciated. The food was fun, creative, and absolutely delicious, with lots of flavors to enjoy. The cocktails were beautifully presented and just as tasty. A fantastic spot for a special occasion or a great night out!

   Terrific food and service. Atmosphere pretty loud - hard to hear each other talking.

   Great service, delicious food and definitely something I couldn’t do at home! Fun upbeat vibe just a little noisy.

   Food was great! We had the brussel sprouts, kale salad, friend chicken and steak. Everything had a lot of flavour and was cooked well. Service was a little slow to start but it improved. We were told a few times that they had another reso coming in and would need the table at a certain time, despite there being multiple open tables but they ended up letting us stay beyond the mentioned time… assuming they just sat them at one of the other open table. The server brought me a little shot glass full of one of their cocktails with a candle in it as we were celebrating my birthday! I thought that was a nice touch!

   Highlights were the cucumber salad, crispy potatoes, branzino, and lamb. Good wine list with reasonable prices. Service was very friendly but somewhat slow due to the place being busy.

   I made a reservation for 2 at Lulu but upon arrival they didnt seem ready for us, the host and her manager were struggling with where to put us. Finally they decide to "tuck us away" upstairs. I was disappointed by this as there were several better tables downstairs sitting empty. We asked to be moved so we didnt have to sit upstairs all alone and they were able to place us at a much better table by the bar. This left a really sour first impression on us as we should have received a better experience. Why book ahead if theyre going to stick you at the worst table they have? Aside from that, their happy hour is a great deal and we enjoyed some good cocktails and food. I did find that the cocktail was mostly ice so I'm glad I wasn't paying full price for it. The chips and dip were fantastic, I would definitely order those again

   Hi Erica, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry for the confusion with your seating, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to feel like you were given a less-than-ideal table, especially after making a reservation. This is not the standard we strive for, and we’re reviewing our seating procedures to ensure we avoid this kind of situation in the future. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the happy hour, cocktails, and chips & dip, though! Your feedback about the drink’s ice content is also appreciated, and we’ll be sure to review this with our team. We hope you’ll give us another chance to provide you with the excellent experience you deserve. Thanks again for your feedback! Warm regards, Diana Zahoruiko 🍍

    Food was exceptional. Had the duck, Brussels sprouts, and a few starters and it was all great. What was not great was service. Drinks were ordered and did not arrive until AFTER we got our starter food. Then when asked if we wanted another drink we indicated we would want another with dinner. Again, we had received our drinks at the tail end of our meal. We had another reservation elsewhere after dinner and I had to drain a $17 cocktail in about 10 minutes- which was not ideal. No one checked on us to make sure our food was correct or if we needed anything else. If they had, I would have indicated to not put in another cocktail order and just bring me a beer instead since that would probably be faster. On the whole- food is great. Service was abysmal. It was as though there was no rhyme or reason for when they show up to your table and how much consideration is given to your experience. Logic would dictate that if your table would prefer their drinks with their food, then if they already have their food- maybe confirm if they still want to wait another 30 minutes for a cocktail order or if they’d like something else. Service was a let down to the fantastic work being done in the kitchen.

    Hi there, Thank you for your thoughtful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food, especially the Duck and Brussels sprouts. However, we deeply regret that your experience with our service did not meet your expectations. It’s clear from your feedback that the timing of your drinks, as well as the lack of attention during your meal, created unnecessary frustration, and for that, we are truly sorry. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. We’d appreciate the chance to welcome you back and provide a much better experience. If you’d like to discuss this further or give us another opportunity, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly on my email dzahoruiko@lulubar.ca Warm regards, Diana Zahoruiko LuluBar🌴
