Lulu's

On the way to catch a show, so hope to grab something yummy & quick.
We've driven by Lulu's multiple times and decided to finally step in.

Started with the bread service.  It's $5 but it has warm house-made focaccia with olive oil and honey butter.  Such a great starter.


I got the Gauvissimo - it has guava and pineapple juice, but not overly sweet at all. 

We decided to split the Arugula & Pear salad.  Amazingly, it is awesomely good.  It has some edible flowers, pear, blue cheese, candied pecan and obviously arugula. 

We got the Lobster Risotto - that was a tad disappointing.  The risotto felt like as still hard on some bits.  Not cooked all the way through.  The lobster, which should be the star, was flavorless, which made me wonder if they had just thawed it enough to cook. 

We got a side of spinach, which we were hoping it's the mushier kind, not this leafy kind.  That was a tad saltier than I'd liked but mainly was the texture kinda thing for me. 

I would say, if you plan on coming here, a reservation is definitely highly encouraged.  We came without one and got seated by the bar.  Even though it was before the dinner rush, our service is not as quick as our main dining room counter parts.  Mind you, the servers all go by the bar to pick up drinks for their guests, so they have to see us, but for sure prioritize lowered than otherwise. 

Anyway, if you get there early enough, parking is not a problem.  The back of the building does get encroached by Chuy's next door.  Or they do have a valet too.
