    This is our 6th year doing Christmas dinner at Lulu's. A great pre-fix menu with lots of choices. Great service. I don't have to shop, clean or cook thanks to Lulu's.

    Atmosphere loud so very hard to carry on a conversation even though it was just Christmas music playing. I got the Filet for dinner. Ordered it done medium and it was so well done I almost sent it back. Just didn’t want to ruin Christmas dinner. My partner enjoyed his meal very much and I wish I had ordered the same as his. For the cost of the meal for the 2 of us it was overpriced and our conversation walking back to the car was about looking for other options for going out for a holiday meal. Many places were comparable in price and, since I suggested going here, I was very disappointed. If you’re going for a bar atmosphere, even while eating dinner then this is the place I guess a lot of people around and loud. They even switched to more Club style music as our meal was ending which was very strange for the Christmas holiday. This used to be our go to place but the quality of the food has gone down and not worth what we paid.

    Had a lovely Christmas lunch at Lulu California Bistro. There was lots to choose from on the fixed menu, including vegetarian choices, and the food was excellent. From the appetizer to the dessert, we couldn’t have asked for a better meal! My polenta and cauliflower steaks were delicious and generous and my friend’s prime rib was cooked perfectly and he said that it was the best he’s had in a long while. Lulu was a great choice!

    Very slow acknowledgment when first seated. Had to ask for our server but once we were served service was good. Extensive menu for all appetite sizes.

    It's nice to be able to make reservations in busy Palm Springs. Lulu's is our go-to for family gatherings, and first timers are impressed with the restaurant's casual grandeur.
