LuLu

LuLu Review

In its early years LuLu was a magnet for dot-commers, but now it seems to have more of an appeal for conventioneers at nearby Moscone Center and business diners (although there are some locals who consider it a fave). It's rustic cuisine that's easy for large groups to share, like mixed antipasti platters (you pick three items); mussels roasted in an iron skillet; wood-oven roasted poultry, meats, and shellfish; and a small selection of pizzas and pastas. There is a well-supplied raw bar, and main-course specials include a rotisserie-cooked option that changes daily; Friday brings a succulent suckling pig. Sharing dishes is the custom here, and portions are typically bountiful. Wine drinkers will appreciate the long list of choices by the glass. When LuLu is packed, service can suffer.

    what a pleasant surprise; a different approach to menu choices and presentations. Really enjoyed the freshly grilled meats and terrific grilled pizza. Service was top notch; definitely a return destination.
