    We chose Lulla’s based on good reviews and its proximity to midtown. When we arrived and noticed the restaurant was a part of a hotel, we were skeptical. However, those concerns were soon put to rest. The food was delicious and the service was great! From cocktails to pasta, we were not disappointed.

    Absolute perfection! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. The chairs at our table were some of the most comfortable chairs we have ever sat on during a dinner! For dinner, we had the burrata and shrimp appetizer - YUM! We all got filet mignon and the Caesar salad with filet for main meal and it was truly scrumptious. For dessert, we got the banana split and the cookies with ice cream. Service was impeccable and our teenage kids wanted to go again the next evening.
