Lulu's (Round Top)

We wanted a sit down restaurant with AC and this place did not disappoint. Beautifully decorated inside, French inspired. The menu had a variety of choices to choose from. We both decided on chicken options. Also they have bread service served with oil/balsamic & honey butter. Daily baked fresh bread. To end our meal we decided upon an Italian cream cake which was topped with a fresh blueberry glaze. Every plate was full of flavor. Well presented and cooked. Price is on the higher end, but you get what you pay for. The server was very attentive and sweet.

Pretentious, to say the least… perhaps “milimetrical and pretentious” would be better… I had the thinnest chicken milanesa in my entire life. My wife had meatballs with polenta, weird taste, average good… everything looked so overpriced for the quality and taste. I won’t be back…

We skipped lunch to make sure we had plenty of room for a big dinner at 4pm. While we were waiting to order we noticed several tablecloths around us being set on fire because staff had set lit candles in the chairs under the tablecloths. When pointing it out to the woman setting the table, she looked at us and rolled her eyes and tried to shove the burned tablecloth under the table. I ordered a Paloma and was brought a screwdriver and was told they were out of grapefruit juice. Instead of asking me what I wanted instead, they just chose my substitution. We ordered the caviar service and I was told everything was soy free (serious soy allergy). When it came out, it was obvious it was served with Ruffles potato chips so I asked again about soy. Upon checking a second time with the kitchen

Recommended by the bar tender, I had the chicken Marsala with mashed potatoes. The sauce was super thin and the flavor was bland, could’ve had a better one at Olive Garden. We also ordered their soup of the day, which was tomato basil. However, they seem to run out of it in 3 hours on Valentine’s Day! The bar tender didn’t tell us and just brought us out gumbo instead. Very strange for a supposedly fine restaurant. Other than that, the ambience was nice, drinks were fantastic and the service was good. The bar area could be a little darker and cozier, but it worked with the rain.

The atmosphere is absolutely magical; they’ve transformed a historic 1800s building into a chic space where European elegance perfectly blends with rustic charm. In the evening, the candlelight creates an incredibly romantic vibe. The service is top-notch the staff is attentive and really knows the menu inside and out. We had the lobster ravioli and the carbonara, and they were divine! It’s the perfect spot for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy some upscale comfort food in a very cozy, welcoming setting. Highly recommended!
