The food, as always, was wonderful. My o Lu complaint is the timing of the food coming out of the kitchen. Everything came at the same time! We ordered pita and spreads. We thought those would come first and we could enjoy them with our first glass of wine. As it was - everything arrived together. Not ideal. We ordered espresso with our dessert. It came and then we waited and waited for dessert. Espresso was cold by the time it came out. They could work on their timing!

Restaurant was very Cozy and a nice vibe. Food was good and very fresh but not the best in taste. It was still pretty good. Service was a little slow, imo. Full dinner took 2.30hr. Which is a lot in general but good for a date night.
