    Dined Dec 2024. Food has gone downhill big-time. We both had caesar salads, meatloaf and apple crisp. The salad was ok, as was the roasted asparagus and carrots with the main. But we were unable discern any flavour in the meatloaf slice ( at least it came with sauce). We wondered how much filler vs meat was actually in there as we could not taste any meat flavor. The apple crisp with cinnamon was also disappointing,other than the ice cream. Again it seemed to be more filler than apples (and not “crisp”) and the apple and cinnamon taste did not come out. It was early, still quiet, but we did not get the sense that locals wee there as on past trips, just tourists, Rhe locals may have voted with their feet already.

    Pretty average. Our server wasn’t at all enthusiastic. No eye contact. There was a holiday part in the party room above us with someone on a mic. Very loud. We ordered drinks but server forgot about them. They only arrived after our apps and mains arrrived. Mains arrived before we were even halfway through the apps. Food was average at best. We liked the tuna nachos. Won’t go back.

    We had a wonderful time celebrating two of our friend's birthdays last night and everyone loved their food. The prime rib was so tender and the steak salad was delicious. Great time at Lulu's!

    We love this restaurant. We eat here every time we visit Palm Springs. Our server was awesome!!!!! The food was outstanding and as always full of flavor. I had the strawberry fields salad with Salmon. The salmon was cooked to perfection. My husband had the Santa Fe Panini with fries and coleslaw. My husband loved his meal too. We will definitely be back.
