• Contemporary American • Palm Springs
Booked 52 times today
Brought friends from Chicago who loved the atmosphere and food. One of them had the smoked tuna nicoise which he said was the best he ever had. Three had the crab corn chowder which they raved about. The Smores dessert made with homemade marshmallow and Brandini toffee is off the charts! Eight4Nine has become a go to when we have visitors. Noise level is a little high in the main room. If you can get a side room, I would recommend it.

Such a pleasant experience from the moment we arrived to the moment we left- the food and service was exquisite. The muscles in garlic sauce were the best! Willie was our server and was a such a joy to have at our table. Very attentive and accommodating. He was so delighted to be able to speak French with my mom.

Angel, our waiter was absolutely wonderful, he explained the menu and the dishes…food was amazing as we ordered the fritto misto, which I never had with vegetables and baby shrimp. We also ordered the Hokkaido scallops which were huge, got 4 of them on a bed a spinach; we also got Mary’s chicken (half order) and it was delicious, very moist and flavorful. All this food, we didn’t have any room for dessert, maybe next time we visit.

    First time at Lulu’s. The service and menu choices were excellent. The eggplant parmigiana was the best I’ve ever had. The butter pound cake was moist and flavorful. The decor was fun and modern. Would definitely recommend.
