We had a 6:15 reservation and arrived at 6:10 and were seated right away. No one came over to our table until 6:30 and that’s because I flagged a waitress down to complain. We put our order in at that time without appetizers and asked for water. She didn’t bring our water until another 45 minutes later and only after she came over to apologize that our food was taking longer than expected and we asked for it again. We sat there until 7:55 when we finally got up and left without eating anything. We didn’t want to be late for our show at the Broadway Theater which I had let them know earlier that we had tickets for. We spent an 1 hour and 45 minutes sitting in a very cold restaurant without so much as a bread bowl even being brought to the table. What a horrible experience!

Nice local spot with great, friendly staff. I found the salmon under-seasoned, and my partner found the risotto also under-seasoned.

Wait staff was attentive to our theater tickets schedule. Lobster ravioli was excellent. Mushroom Alfredo was disappointingly bland.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for so long and unfortunately I was disappointed, pretty sure it will be my first and last time there. In the past I used to walk by and it would be PACKED. I got there and it was only us and two other tables on a theater night, I got concerned. Nice wait staff but inattentive. Very limited menu, I felt bad for my vegetarian friend and even offered to leave before ordering but she was a good sport and ordered the only vegetarian entree, the mushroom Alfredo. Side note yes there were salads but no everyone wants a salad for dinner. And even the butternut squash soup had chicken stock so that wasn’t an option either. Food came out looked good, but both me and my friend noticed our meals were bitter and almost sour (?) I had the crab and shrimp risotto. Between the two dishes the only shared ingredient was fresh parsley. We couldn’t figure out why our meals tasted the way it did. Nonetheless we had a show to catch, we didn’t bother taking over left overs. Will not return and do not recommend.

The food was just ok. The crab bites and chicken fingers, both breaded and fried, were over cooked.

Food was very good.. Actual service was good, just the waitress had zero personality and barely spoke to us till the very end.. She didn't even say hello or welcome us when she walked up to the table.. Very weird.

Our experience at Sweet Lula’s in Pitman, NJ was wonderful! Our server, Rosie, was great! She is friendly, and makes you feel as though you are her only customer. The warm rolls and butter are sometimes the reason I can’t fit in dessert, delicious! Main course was generous, and provided lunch the next day.
