    Lulu‘s is a step back in time to the 60s. That’s what makes it fun. The menu is pretty extensive and we went there because my husband is a vegan and they do have a vegetarian vegan menu. A suggestion though - other than on their website they don’t advertise that or mention it when being seated so unless you know, you don’t know. That said, once my husband asked for it and ordered from the menu, he said his dish was very flavorful and one of the best vegan meals that he’s had in the desert. I ordered from the regular menu the fried chicken, which was pretty dry. We shared the hummus as an appetizer, and after a couple of minutes, our main courses came out. Didn’t have much time to sit and relax and enjoy the appetizer. My cocktail was pretty watered down, almost as though it had no alcohol in it whatsoever. We never had just one wait person - just had to catch whoever was going by to get something that we wanted. My husband would probably go back, but I won’t rush there.

    Signature meatloaf was dry and minimal sauce. Mashed potatoes were hard and luke warm. Just was not hot and fresh. Might go back and try something different. Might not though. Server was great however.

    They were great. They were able to add 2 to our party less than an hour before our arrival with no sweat. Food was delicious. Service was efficient. Cava was delightful. I wish they could provide better coverage from the setting sun outside but they did their best and it IS the desert, after all.

    Loved coming here before but the last few times the number of loud children allowed to run rampant made it feel like Disneyland. A number of times kids bumped into our chairs and shrieked right next to us. And some of my favorites have been removed from the menu. Won’t be going back after 10+ years eating here on each of my visits to PS.

    Sure glad I had a gift card. Weekend brunch food is all premade and cold. I would recommend just a salad. The Cobb looked great. Unfortunately we chose hit breakfast which was just okay. Kinda cold cafeteria tasting. Not worth the cost and the restaurant itself was a bit dirty, handprints on glass walls and seats sticky.
