    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.

    Soup & Salad (Cesar) & added salmon

    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.

Always seems a tad darker than necessary, rather dated and overdue for a renovation. The Richland locations have a warmer vibe. The music playing didn't earn any kudos for a couple reasons. First, it was just at the edge of loud enough to be distracting. Second, the playlist seemed more appropriate for a much younger audience than the overwhelming majority of the clientele in the house at the time. Ambience, all in? - 3 stars. The food? She had the one-trip salad bar and said it was pretty good but nothing especially noteworthy. She said - 4 stars. Mine, meh, predictable, ok, but unremarkable bordering on forgettable. Some things were a tad salt heavy, others were seemingly unseasoned altogether. Mine - 3 stars. I opted for a baked potato. It came out seemingly over-baked because the flesh had to be carved away from the inside of the skin. It wasn't that carb-lovers baked spud, which was disappointing. When I told the manager of the great service we had received, he said he was glad to hear that. Then, I mentioned the potato and how it had come out, but instead of any acceptance, he got defensive about how "that's the way we make them here" or something to that effect, and basically dismissed my comment. Attitude? Yeah, not so much. - 2.5 stars. All in, we both felt like we should have driven the extra 15 minutes and gone to either Richland location. My bad. That's on me. - ZERO stars for my poor decision. Lesson learned. - All in - a 3 star average.
