For being wrapped in architectural and Rat Pack history, Palm Spring's suffers from a downtown of derelict mall, kitschy shops and empty storefronts. Lulu is a breath of fresh air along a prime downtown corner offering a lofty design and prominent now-bustling terrace that's an immediate facelift to the area. The space features an indoor-outdoor design with massive dining room flanked by a retro-cool bar and bold color scheme. An energetic staff realizes the success of the restaurant, with its perky service and food that's a step above everyone else on the strip.
The Food
An all-day menu offers one of the more popular breakfast tables in town, second only to Cheeky’s, with a menu of egg specials as well as a popular reduced-calorie ‘Health Corner.’ A lengthy lunch and dinner menu takes a while to navigate with options like fresh artichoke with pancetta, lightly fried zucchini and spinach dip served with focaccia. A wood-fire pizza oven includes variations like roasted duck, smoked salmon and grilled seafood. Mains dabble in land and sea with New England-style lobster rolls, Low-Carb Kobe burger and sautéed sand dabs with lemon-caper sauce.
Last Word
Lively all-day restaurant offers numerous menu options from lively terrace, dining room and bar in downtown Palm Springs.
