Lulu's is a brand new restaurant located where 3 previous restaurants have failed to maintain their business, so it seemed as thought they were cursed from the moment they opened. Lulu's however, looked like it would change that tradition, with a vibrant atmosphere, and a stellar design of the restaurant. I loved how the entire restaurant was just a long, narrow strip that extended all the way to the very back of the building. The bar was loud and energetic, and everything was off to a good start. Unfortunately, the curse would live on, as everything about Lulu's would go down from there. We started with the beet salad, the mussels, and the cabbage soup as an appetizer. The salad was nothing extraordinary, and the soup tasted fine, albeit a bit boring and with not enough sausage. My moms mussels were extremely disappointing, arriving on a lake butter with only six mussels that were chewy and bland. We ordered a mac-and-cheese as a replacement, which, thankfully, was cheesy, salty, and satisfactory.
For my entree, I ordered the meatballs. They were lukewarm and flavorless, and came with a sad looking goat-cheese risotto that tasted like wet rice. The only true highlight of the meal was my dad's skirt steak, which came with a delicious pesto rub and was cooked to perfection. I give lulu's 2 pineapples. Seems as though the curse lives on.
