Lula

"A lovely unique experience here. I had a group of three. We chose seating on a couple of couches that faced each other with a low table in between. The food is served as tapas, so small plates to be shared. Think 3 scallops (and by God are they good) or six meatballs at a time. The food comes out as it is ready, so it's fresh. We ordered more as we went through the evening. It made for a homey, casual atmosphere that promoted conversation. The chefs here know their food, so please know that your dish is cooked as it should be. The ahi tuna was cooked to perfection. In other words, it looked at the hot pan, decided to jump in, and noped on out of there. Delicious."

"Just attempted to eat here 20 minutes ago (we live in Sewickley and have been to almost every restaurant downtown except Lula) We WILL NOT be going back. We sat at a small table inside and there was a man at the bar, sprawled out with a computer and on his cell phone talking VERY loudly. To put things in context, I work as a nurse at a local hospital and my long shifts are consumed with constraint noise such as screaming, yelling, and beeping. Me and my husband merely wanted a somewhat peaceful place to eat, but this mans voice was so loud, and we could hear every word. It was hard to have a conversation much less concentrate on what we wanted to order. We ended up leaving, and when the man on the phone asked us why we were leaving. I told him he was being loud and suggested an office was a better place for him to have the conversation he was having. He stated ‘ this is my office’ which leads me to believe he is the owner: Stephen There were only 2 other people in the restaurant, and I can’t help but think that if customers encounter this type of disturbance when they want to enjoy a peaceful meal that this may be why the restaurant was almost empty. On a positive note the waiter there greeted us in a timely manner, and gave us menus and waters very promptly. I give him 5 stars. ***Stephen’s response to my review speaks for itself. Not sure how any successful, respectable business owner would think it’s acceptable to use their customer service area (dining room) as their ‘office’"

"Stephen, the owner, helped me coordinate a client appreciation/fundraiser event at Lula's this fall. The food was fabulous, atmosphere was ideal and the service was top notch. I would highly recommend using Lula's for your next smaller outdoor event. They are the BEST!!"

"Outstanding hidden gem! My husband & I were in the area, & found this by looking at the map, & we’re glad we did! I had Maho tacos, & he had a Cuban sandwich, both were awesome. Service was quick, & the owner told us a little bit of Sewickley history while we ate. We’re not from the area, or we’d make this a weekly stop"

"Overal 4 out of 5. I’d rate the food as 3: the menu is very interesting but the my tuna was really not anything I look forward to having it again. I’m fine with higher price because of the special atmosphere and decoration, the experience was nice. But I can’t really think about eating here again. I’d recommend this place to get a drink before or after having dinner somewhere else :) Drinks were strong and good."
