    Brunch is always great at Lulu’s. I had the Asian chicken salad and it was watery with no flavor. I returned it and got the Belgian waffle, which was great. The waitstaff was great as always.

    Lulu is a can't-miss when in Palm Springs. Great food, exceptional service and pet friendly. Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, Lulu has something for everyone. We make it a point to visit at least once anytime we're in town. And don't even get me started on the three-course brunch! Lulu is exceptional.

    Had an amazing dinner here. My hubs started with the mushroom soup, recommended by our server,Todd. I hate mushrooms, but this soup was AMAZING! I ordered the short ribs and hubs the mahi mahi: both were fabulous! Topped it off by another recommendation, the buttery pound cake! You will be in heaven with this one!
