Lulu Bar is an escape from the ordinary. Its welcoming vibe is reminiscent of hidden gems from your last vacation, only better because it’s right here in your own backyard. With a healthy, Pacific-inspired menu, Lulu’s wood-fired food is light and fresh — but heavy on flavour.
Chef Joseph Sokoloff’s fare is a tribute to the Pacific Ocean and many of the regions that touch it, with influences from Asia to Hawaii, California to British Columbia. Lulu’s fun, light, and refreshing drink menu is equally well-travelled. Its wine, beer, and creative cocktail offerings will make you feel like you’re far from home — and we like that.

    A Thursday night was a good time. Steady and not packed. Food was good but not overwhelmingly delicious. We had the squid which was the best dish of the night. The curry linguine was good although it had too many sprouts. The Thai noodle dish was also good but fairly spicy. We will go again and try other food.

    I had the mai tai (it was really good but a bit strong 7/10) and the fried noodles were amazing (9/10) . Our server was amazing as well

    We celebrated a birthday at Lulu Bar and had an amazing experience! They were very accommodating, finding space for our group of six, which we really appreciated. The food was fun, creative, and absolutely delicious, with lots of flavors to enjoy. The cocktails were beautifully presented and just as tasty. A fantastic spot for a special occasion or a great night out!

    Staff was lovely and very accommodating as we had gotten stuck in traffic and were late. The food and drinks were great. Loved the beef Tataki.

    Food was great! We had the brussel sprouts, kale salad, friend chicken and steak. Everything had a lot of flavour and was cooked well. Service was a little slow to start but it improved. We were told a few times that they had another reso coming in and would need the table at a certain time, despite there being multiple open tables but they ended up letting us stay beyond the mentioned time… assuming they just sat them at one of the other open table. The server brought me a little shot glass full of one of their cocktails with a candle in it as we were celebrating my birthday! I thought that was a nice touch!

We apologize for the slow start to service but are glad it picked up. We appreciate your understanding regarding the table timing and are glad we could accommodate you. Thanks again, and we’d love to see you back soon!🍍🤩

    Highlights were the cucumber salad, crispy potatoes, branzino, and lamb. Good wine list with reasonable prices. Service was very friendly but somewhat slow due to the place being busy.

    I made a reservation for 2 at Lulu but upon arrival they didnt seem ready for us, the host and her manager were struggling with where to put us. Finally they decide to "tuck us away" upstairs. I was disappointed by this as there were several better tables downstairs sitting empty. We asked to be moved so we didnt have to sit upstairs all alone and they were able to place us at a much better table by the bar. This left a really sour first impression on us as we should have received a better experience. Why book ahead if theyre going to stick you at the worst table they have? Aside from that, their happy hour is a great deal and we enjoyed some good cocktails and food. I did find that the cocktail was mostly ice so I'm glad I wasn't paying full price for it. The chips and dip were fantastic, I would definitely order those again
    Lulu BarResponded on November 16, 2024
    Hi Erica, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry for the confusion with your seating, and we understand how frustrating it must have been to feel like you were given a less-than-ideal table, especially after making a reservation. This is not the standard we strive for, and we’re reviewing our seating procedures to ensure we avoid this kind of situation in the future. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the happy hour, cocktails, and chips & dip, though! Your feedback about the drink’s ice content is also appreciated, and we’ll be sure to review this with our team. We hope you’ll give us another chance to provide you with the excellent experience you deserve. Thanks again for your feedback! Warm regards, Diana Zahoruiko 🍍
