    Coolinary at its finest ✨ Three courses for $38, and somehow we still managed to turn it into a full-blown feast 🤭 📍@Lularestaurantdistillery We did the Caesar salad + boudin-stuffed quail, and a specialty cocktail, then went rogue with the crawfish queso, lamb chops, and chocolate cake from the regular menu. Everything was delicious, and the portions were not playing around! Definitely one to add to your Coolinary lineup! 🥂 #CoolinaryNOLA #NewOrleansEats

    Unfortunately, our dinner service wasn’t great. Our waitress didn’t make it around often enough for drink refills and overall the food was not great. It seemed as if they were understaffed.

    Lula was very accommodating with a friend who has very unique allergies and they were excellent about it. That right there gives them 5 stars. However the rest of our meals were mid at best. The shrimp and grits, not good. Great for big groups though! Highly recommend for drinks. The hurricane was really great.

    This restaurant and distillery is a hidden gem. The service and staff are amazing. Lou was a wonderful waitress and cheerleader for the restaurant. She took great care of me and my brunch guest. She was very attentive and kind. If you have not been to this restaurant, I encourage you to visit soon.

    Crawfish queso was pretty good. The service was spotty. Waitress went missing quite a few times. I believe we were her only table. The food was just ok. I’ve dined at least 3 times but I’m not sure I will return. The bottomless vodka lured me in again but the food was lackluster the last 2 times.
    Lula Restaurant DistilleryResponded 4 days ago
    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for dining with us on multiple occasions. We're glad you enjoyed the crawfish queso, but we're disappointed to hear that both the food and service fell short of your expectations. This is certainly not the experience we want for our guests, especially those who have continued to support us. We truly appreciate your honest feedback and will be sharing your concerns with our team. We hope you'll consider giving Lula another chance to provide the quality food and attentive service you deserve.

    We showed up an hour early and they were able to accommodate our party of five. We started off with the skewers appetizer which everyone enjoyed. Here's a tip, you're not supposed to eat the actual sugar cane skewer, only the sausage. They were excellent. Personally, I had the lamb chops and they were delicious. The portion was generous and I could not finish all the sides that came with it. I tried their bourbon after dinner and enjoyed it as well. The cost of our meal was not excessive and I believe we got great value for what we received. Oh, and the service was great too. I will highly recommend Lula to my friends.

    We have dined hear multiple times over the years and really loved the food. However, we were disappointed in the crab & avocado appetizer (minimal crab meat), pork osso bucco (not tender or much flavor), shrimp & grits (had to take heads off and pick pealings out of sauce). The chocolate cake was very rich & delicious.

We're sorry to hear that your recent visit didn't live up to the experiences you've enjoyed with us in the past. While we're glad you enjoyed the chocolate cake, we're disappointed that several of your dishes fell short of expectations. We truly appreciate your honest feedback and will be sharing your comments with our culinary team. We hope to welcome you back soon for the dining experience you've come to know and love at Lula!
