About this place LuLu California Bistro

LuLu California Bistro is a large mainstream restaurant on South Palm Canyon Drive in downtown Palm Springs. It's gay-friendly rather than a gay venue, which in Palm Springs means a mixed crowd that includes plenty of gay couples and groups. The menu is broad California-American and the dining room is big, which is why it handles crowds well. It opens from 11:00 on weekdays and from 09:00 for brunch on Saturday and Sunday, closing around 21:00 to 22:00. With over 5,000 Google reviews it's one of the busiest restaurants in town, so book or expect a wait on weekend evenings and during big event weekends.

I do not understand how this place is a solid 5.0 rating. The place is an absolute gem! Decorations and accessories were dazzling. Todd, my server was EXCEPTIONAL!!! Never came to the table without a big bright white smile, glistening eyes and uniform clean and tucked in. Every drink refill was topped off and new ice added (can’t even tell you what a small but powerful extra mile that goes/is) I ordered the fish and chips. Stunning for such a simple dish! The Tartar sauce was in a serving dish that had plenty of product to dip/spread every fish product (healthy 4 of them) amount. The coleslaw was a tad small portion though, but not disappointing; just a bit more would been perfect. The fish was crunchy from the first to the last bite. No sogginess was present until I added the lemon or the vinaigrette: but it didn’t really effect the fist product at all!! The fries were not burnt, they were crunchy, crisp, and soft! Melted in the mouth THE FRIES THEMSELVES…. MELTED… in the MOUTH! Now if that’s not perfection idk what else is! Whole dish was garnished and seasoned perfectly! This was the first dish I’ve ate where I didn’t feel to need salt nor pepper to compliment it. To the owner/manager: Please let server, Todd, know that I appreciate his smile, amazing service and taking the extra step in refilling the drink with new ice was much appreciated and that I will be requesting his table again for the future. CAUSE YOU BEST BELIEVE IM COMING BACK! To the people who read this review: make sure to follow them on Tik Tok and instagram! And…. For peep sakes don’t be a “Karen” and leave a 4 or lower star rating just because 1 thing isn’t perfect for you 🙄 nobody can pleasure everyone. But this place is fabulous!
