The restaurant was large and open withou much flair but the fish sandwich may well be the best we have ever had

We were wandering toward the Garden District when we happened upon Lula. What a pleasant surprise. The food is casual and delicious. The service was friendly and efficient. The spare ribs are highly recommended as is the fish club on Pullman toast. The drinks had the appropriate kick to them.

Lula is a very interesting restaurant. The food is not fancy and was delicious [had the BBQ ribs - yum]. Plus the distillery is on site. And, the service was great.

Was so excited to try this place. Unfortunately, I will never go again. First off... my friend found a tiny bug in her mojito. Looked like a baby ladybug. Assuming they didn't wash the mint leaves. She sent it back and the waiter was rude and didn't apologize. She bites into her rice... of course... there's hair that clearly wasn't hers or mine. Sent that back... again... the waiter was rude. A Male manager came and apologized... brought her a new meal and drink but didn't offer to comp anything. Then, I noticed my drink also had two bugs in it and her new drink had one. We asked to speak to the manager again. The waiter was extremely rude... this time a female manager comes up and is ridiculously rude. Points at us as if she isn't next to us and says "they're the same ones" with a nasty attitude. Then she proceed to tell us they got their mint from restaurant depot and it had bugs in it so they are throwing that bag away and opening a new one. Never once did they offer to comp anything nor did they even make us feel like we were valued customers. It was an extremely awful experience. The place is beautiful and we had high expectations. But no only did they have so many mishaps with our food and drinks, but our waiter was extremely rude, short and unapologetic ... not to mention we had to call him several times to get his attention for the issues we had because he never checked on us! Just absolutely terrible!!!

Started out great, tasty cocktails with in house spirits, then...all downhill. This is based more on the superbly bad service by our waiter, since we left after waiting an hour for an order that never came...other than the fantastic fried pickles. Service was non existent, waiter never put in our order for our main course. ...just unacceptable for a restaurant of this nature.
So, I actually can't comment on the food, why would I ever go back?
