- EEmmaLos Angeles •9 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoWe had a fun Halloween evening at LouLou last night. The food was tasty, service great, and there was a DJ keeping things lively. My husband and I love the vibes at this place, they have a great happy hour, and a few hits on the menu….like the octopus salad, steak frites, onion soup. We both appreciated the efforts put in for the holiday too, including costumes, decorations, and even a live snake. 😳 looking forward to our next visit!More infoLoulou Rooftop Restaurant and Lounge$$$$• French• Santa Monica•4.4
