Top tags:
Lulu Bar is an escape from the ordinary. Its welcoming vibe is reminiscent of hidden gems from your last vacation, only better because it’s right here in your own backyard. With a healthy, Pacific-inspired menu, Lulu’s wood-fired food is light and fresh — but heavy on flavour.
Chef Joseph Sokoloff’s fare is a tribute to the Pacific Ocean and many of the regions that touch it, with influences from Asia to Hawaii, California to British Columbia. Lulu’s fun, light, and refreshing drink menu is equally well-travelled. Its sake, beer, and creative cocktail offerings will make you feel like you’re far from home — and we like that.

    We went on a Monday night and what a great surprise. The restaurant was full of diners and the vibe was great! The service was good despite all our food not coming out at once. The food and cocktails were tasty. It is probably a little over priced for the portion but the meal was enjoyable. The restaurant has nice decor and like I said the vibe was so inviting. You just had fun being there.

    Lulu bar is always one of my favorite stops when I come to Calgary! The wine is great, cocktails are fabulous, space is beautiful, and the service is always top notch! This was the first time I got to enjoy happy hour (Honolulu hour) and it made the experience even more fun! My favorite dishes are the pork belly, house spam, and beef tongue! Obsessed! Thank you for the wonderful time!

    My wife and I LOVE Lulu Bar and go any chance we get for a date. When I made my reservation I specifically asked to not be seated by the door but when we arrived, our table was on the patio, around the corner. Meanwhile, there were several open tables, even for 2 people all throughout the restaurant. Where we sat, the ambiance was bad, it was cold, and kind of disappointing. One of the reasons we love Lulu and we feel adds value, is the design and decor. There was none to be enjoyed where we sat. The food and drinks were incredible as always, but the overall visit was discouraging.

    This was my first time at the restaurant. Food was great! Service was alright. They changed our plates two times throughout the night and both times kept dropping the utensils on the table and on us. The first time they dropped the utensils on one of our cups and broke it and spilt some of our drink onto our expensive jacket that we had just bought. The second time they still cleared the plates and still dropped utensils on us. Just seems like a hassle to keep changing our plates if this kept happening and we had no problem with keeping the same plate. At the end our server also asked us how we’d like to split the bill which our friend told them to split it in 5 but as he was about to take our payment I asked to take two of the bills and he made a rude remark that left me uncomfortable with my first experience there overall. I also noted on our reservation that our visit was meant to celebrate a birthday but our server had made no notice of it and I didn’t want to ask because I wanted it to be a surprise. I’m not sure if they do anything special for birthdays but for high end restaurants like Lulu, I would expect something or at least acknowledgement that it’s my friends birthday. I’m not sure if I’ll be heading back there again after that last statement he made and the overall experience I had.

    The dishes have a lot of Asian infusion. For example, the cod was like a Thai curry. For anyone who likes Asian food this is a good place. The food is quite good as well, but I thought I could have gotten similar or exact same taste from various Asian restaurants at a much lower price point. It has the vibe as a place of being happening but I would prefer somewhere with a little lower noise level, but that's just a personal preference. Overall, it's not a bad experience.

    Our server, Rachel(?), was awesome All of the staff were attentive, friendly, and welcoming. The food was delicious. Lobster dumplings and the squid were outstanding. The pickled beans in the fried chicken were so good. The vibe was really cool. Plants everywhere. Cute matchbooks in the bathroom. The aesthetic made sense. Every cocktail we tried was also delicious: Venus, Fly a Kite, current affair and milk and honey. So, I recommend making your way through that menu.
