    Tortellini with shrimp

    Ambiance, food, and view was great. Highly recommend for anyone looking for somewhere perfectly in between casual and upscale dining. The tortellini with shrimp was amazing- the shrimp had the best texture I've ever tasted for it. Besides a few overpriced appetizers, food was great. Said appetizer warnings- do not order the candied bacon!! It is just bacon with sugar on it. Very highly priced for only a few pieces. Also- the calamari to banana pepper ratio is a bit misleading for the price. Wouldn't recommend that either.

    Unfortunately, we were seated at a dirty table after being told we had to wait 10 minutes for them to clean it. First impressions are everything! Then, after we sat down (inside), we were bothered by flies the entire time. Second impressions mean a lot as well. Anyway we ordered the Green Chili Burger, the Halibut 2 PC Fish + Chips, and a Farmstand Salad + shrimp. The green chili burger was very good, served with a roasted poblano Chile pepper. The halibut was delicious, flaky and served hot. Our friendly waitress, Paige, went out of her way to make some cocktail sauce, because they don't have any; it was perfect! The salad was also very good, and had five good sides to shrimp added. The interior is nice, simple and elegant. It's just unfortunate that we had a fly problem during our meal, and we were seated at a dirty table after we specifically waited for a clean one. Otherwise, five stars.

    We really enjoyed our visit to LU LU Craft bar & kitchen this past Friday, while visiting the Tri-Cities. The service was really good, greeted immediately, they found our reservation, got to our table, our server was at our table very shortly thereafter. The place was not that busy when we got there, but it definitely picked up with some really large groups dropping in. Friday night at the river! We all chose something different on the menu from the burger, the fish and chips and one of the salads. Everything was prepared very well, and we really enjoyed it. I've got to say that my fish from the fish and chips was one of the best I've had in a long time. Tartar sauce was spot on! We would definitely go back, and we will.

    Very busy place but didn't have to wait too long past our reservation time. Staff were friendly & upbeat. We had a nice table by the window. The deep fried zucchini was outstanding! Loved the plank cut! I had the soup & salad ( Cesar) and added salmon. Tomato Basil soup was also outstanding and the salmon was perfectly seasoned & cooked. We also ordered the Thai Noodle Steak salad which also got rave reviews! Beautiful location on the river!

    Thai Steak and noodle salad.

    As expected, a beautiful spot for a restaurant and it only got better. The Thai Steak and Noodle was phenomenal. My wife raved about the Spring Tortellini, and our friends shared and enjoyed the Fish and Chips and Ahi Tacos But what made this lunch extraordinary was our server, Cassondra! She anticipated our every move, which was remarkable, and her patience and professionalism was very much appreciated. Loved this place and when we visit the Tri-Cities area again, we will be back! Thank you Cassondra!

    Ruben Sandwich THE BEST!

    Amazing location right on the Columbia!! Lu Lu is a large restaurant with a rustic and trendy vibe, cool decor highlighting their "farm to table" pride, also offering a beautiful full bar! We were greeted so friendly when we walked in... we had our small dog with us so we dined on their patio, overlooking the marina is wonderful! The views are great!our server Alicia was so nice, attentive and very helpful with menu suggestions. My husband loved the chicken and waffles and I swear I had the best Ruben sandwich Ive ever had! Served on a marble rye and toasted perfectly! Never became soggy like most... they have truly mastered their Reuben sandwich! We were visiting the Tri Cities and our family recommended coming here... so glad we came here! I highly recommend this place! Whether you're a local or passing through!!

    Ambiance is amazing, our server was great and very attentive. We had the pig candy appetizer we were not big fans but it seems to be popular. The shrimp asparagus risotto is so good our shrimp were not as well cooked as I like but still very tasty. The tomato basil soup is delicious. My husband had the tai noddle steak salad. Although the steak was great the salad noodle part was not to our liking. Cocktails are also excellent.

    We came here to celebrate my friend IM 70.3 finish post race in TriCities. Lulu Craft Bar + Kitchen. It for the most part basic all American menu with burgers and steaks and seafood. Little of everything. The best part is the location right along the river off the trail path runs for miles along the river. The view is real nice and great spot if in the patio during the race see everyone coming home to the finish line. I ended up getting green chili burger and fries. Tasty. The burger was cooked perfect, loved the combination of the green chili the cheese and all worked. It nice hearty burger so getting bang for ur buck. Fries were good. Service was five stars. The gentleman on top of it the whole filling out refills without us asking. Friendly and positive vibes. If in Tri Cities area. More so here for IM race weekend. Spot check out for food.

Took our order and food came out pretty quickly. Crab Cakes: You get a salad with 3 crab cakes on top of some delicious aioli that has a bit of tartare sauce taste, but not fully. Crab cakes are pretty pricey, but it's real crab, and really good! The kind of melt in your mouth. Avocado Butterflies: I love the avocado cream cheese like filling that was so so so good! It comes with 5 wontons, and it's so worth the price for how good the quality of dish. I loved the sweet chili dipping sauce a lot! I highly recommend this shareable dish! Salad that came with Crab Cakes, and Avocado Butterflies: It has pickled cabbage that gives a unique depth of flavor that blends well with the rest of the salad without needing any salad dressing. Lavender Lemonade: It was super sweet! It was my first time having lavender lemonade. I loved it! Lavender is a great herb for relaxation/calming to help you sleep better. If you drink a lot of this lemonade it may help you get a better sleep. Tall Dark & Delicious Cheesecake Slice: This is hands down the best cheesecake I've ever had in my life! Way better than The Cheesecake Factory in my opinion. The fudge drizzled over the top adds a beautiful appearance to the dessert. It even comes with whipped cream! I highly recommend this bistro and definitely will be back in the future to try more of their delicious desserts!

I had a crab and shrimp panini on a gluten free bun. The bun was good but the filling appeared to have come from a can and with no additional ingredients to liven the taste. The seafood was chopped and very dry. There may have been one tablespoon of seafood on the bun and that was it! My friend order a salad that was huge but almost entirely lettuce. All in all, it was $60.00 not well spent and I will not return there.

    Out of towner here.‍ We came to the tri-cities for our…read morewedding anniversary weekend. We wanted an upscale, nice restaurant to celebrate our anniversary and landed on this Italian restaurant from a local friend's recommendation. I called ahead and made reservations. If you do this, beware it's AI taking down your request. So, I called the phone # listed online. It took me to the Lodge (hotel) where this restaurant is located and I was then transferred to the restaurant. I let the worker know it's my anniversary we are celebrating so I wanted it to be extra special and if I could have the best window seat for our dinner. She said she made note of it. Perfect! (So I thought). We arrived a few minutes early on a glorious beautiful day. As we checked in, the manager (I assume) was helping the nightly music act with her equipment, so she was preoccupied. (Nothing wrong with that!). The concierge was going to put us in a booth. I piped up and told her about my reservation. She then took us to the window "area" mind you, there was a window seat open, but she sat the menus at the table with our backs to the river view. ‍ The manager overheard me grumbling to my husband, offered us the window seat, but at that point I was already seated and reading the menu. We stayed where we were originally seated. The music was just outside the door, kind of loud to have an intimate conversation, but that was ok b/c the musician was good. Our server, Lacey was really nice, attentive & informative. The food was delicious! Look at my pictures, they do reek of deliciousness. Because it was our anniversary we splurged and had an appetizer and dessert. Appetizer: Frito Misto, basically like tempura. Fried calamari, zucchini, red peppers, onions with a delicious dipping sauce. Was not disappointed. Dinner: I had the spaghetti carbonara, which I've never had, the egg yolk was fun to mix into the dish and create this rich, delicious flavor with the bacon. Just spectacular. Hubs had the Ricotta gnocchi and loved it. He said it would have been even better if they had a little bit more sauce from what seemed to be braised pork. He dipped some of his gnocchi in my carbonara sauce and that seemed to satisfy him even more. Dessert: the manager offered us some bubbly at the start of our dinner, but Hubs had already ordered an Old Fashion, which also did not disappoint. I opted for no booze and she offered dessert instead, which we took her up on. We shared the cannoli. I love chocolate, hubs loves fruit, so it was a match made in heaven-- just like us. It was the perfect ending to the evening. I would typical dock a star for the mishap at the beginning of our meal, but the girl was "new" and I'm sure her manager had a teaching moment with her. The service and food all but made up for the mishap.

    Had reservations for a party of 10. Everyone ordered drinks before dinner and it took approximately…read more30 minutes before everyone was served their drink and a couple of times people had to remind them that they still hadn't gotten their drink. Then food was ordered. The server went around the table, but again had to be reminded that she did not take orders from everyone. About 30 minutes after the order was placed some salads came out, but not all of them. Then entrées started to arrive again for some people, but not all. The last three individuals to get their food were served around an hour and 15 minutes after the order was placed. I ordered the chop salad and the bruschetta appetizer. The chop salad had very little salami or cheese as described on the menu. The bruschetta was actually bread slices, not toasted, with a soft cheese spread and raw mushrooms. It was not very appetizing. My husband ordered the pasta carbonara and both of us, after one bite, described it as incredibly salty. We are huge carbonara fans and have ordered it at restaurants and made it at home many times. He picked out the guanciale and left about a third of the pasta because the salt level was off the chart! If we had not waited so long for our food already and been just the two of us, we would definitely have sent the pasta back. Much better restaurants in the area. Hopefully they get their act together because the location is awesome.

I asked for medium rare and it was a perfect cook. Came with seasoned fries. My s.o. had the steak salad which was largish and very fresh mix of arugula and romaine and butter lettuce. Service was good even though the mgr/owner was training a new hire. Just an elevated cafe but miles apart from carts or fast food. This cafe could clone itself in other parts of Tri-Cities and do well.

    My wife recently ordered the "signature" Fish Tacos from 3 Eyed Fish, and to call this a "fish…read moretaco" is a massive stretch. In reality, it's a raw cabbage taco with a hint of fish essence--or perhaps a cabbage taco with a fish surprise, if you're lucky. After she gave up and ate just one, she brought the rest home. I actually measured the piece of fish inside: a staggering 1.5 inches by 1 inch. That was it. One single, tiny nugget per taco, buried at the very bottom of the shell. Because of this, you have to choke down several mouthfuls of completely raw cabbage before you finally reach your single bite of fish. To make matters worse, that one bite of fish was terrible. They apparently brine it in a way that leaves it aggressively, unpalatably salty. While the menu claims the taco comes with "slaw," it is just heaps of dry, raw cabbage. There was so much of it that you couldn't even see the three corn tortillas until you went digging through the vegetation. The sheer lack of seafood in a "signature" fish dish is appalling. Save your money--unless you really, really love overpriced plates of shredded cabbage.
