Wheaten Bourbon
Kristy D.

Always amazing time! Neighborhood gem and wonderful, tasty, gourmet menu that changes seasonally. Tonight we are doing a Kentucky Bourbon pairing with different burgers . I can't wait.... The atmosphere is chill, dim and the community company is so engaging Cheers!!! Also the BURGERS were amazing with each pairing! We were able to try a Classic Cheddar Bacon Burger, a Mushroom Swiss Burger, a Spicy Southwest Burger and a BBQ Bacon Burger. They were all perfect with the pairing of each different bourbon and also very juicy and perfect just to eat for lunch dinner, or anytime !!! Yum Yum and Yum that's all I have to say about Lula for whiskey dinner with wilderness Trail Bourbon Whiskey !!!!!

Cuban & potato salad
Tamara G.

I won a gift card to this restaurant 2 years ago & since we don't live close by I was unable to try this restaurant until today. It just so happened that I was working in the area and remembered that I had the gift card in my wallet and so I stopped in for lunch at 1 PM on a Wednesday afternoon. When I arrived, there was one other couple at the bar and two tables with two couples seated at them. It is a small place, so it does not accommodate a lot of people. I would suspect that reservations might be necessary for dinner otherwise you may have to wait for a table. I really like the decor inside. The bar was cute & had actually the nicest cushioned barstools I've seen lately! I sat at the bar since I was solo. They have an extensive wine list, including some pricey bottles, but very many choices by the glass. They also have several sparkling choices. I'm always hesitant to get sparkling by the glass because it's not always fresh. But I did try their sparkling rosé & it was fresh, dry, bubbly & enjoyable. It was $13 a glass. Their French onion soup was delicious, served in a crock as it should be with a soft crouton on the bottom, tons of flavorful onions in the broth & yummy baked cheese on top. I do recommend their Cuban sandwich, there's a little twist on an original Cuban with this one. I really did like that sandwich, and it came with potato salad on the side... The potato salad was good, but did not have much flavor, but you could tell it was fresh made, and not potato salad out of a jar. The bartender was also the server for the tables and it was not very busy. A lot of people mention that they had to wait a long time for their food and it was not speedy, it looked like there were two guys in the kitchen. Several of their tables have couches and low coffee tables and I know that is sometimes cumbersome for older folks when it comes to dining. although that kind of seating is great if people are just having drinks and cocktails. So I could imagine there would be a wait if it's a busy evening. But I did enjoy my visit and if I was ever in the area, I would definitely try it again. There is pay parking along the street.

Grilled Romaine

The ambiance is amazing - very quaint and cozy, such a cool vibe. The food was delicious.. there wasn't a thing we didn't like. I apologize, I didn't add pics of the crab cakes and lettuce wraps because I was hungry. I recommend both!

A rich Tiramisu
Rob G.

Excellent place for lunch and dinner! Their ribeye burger might be THE BEST I've had in the entire area. Smokey, rich beef flavor and just the right size for lunch. Also, their breaded citrusy cod bites with garlic aioli are fantastic! #yum Finally, their French onion soup is delicious and tops off a great lunch in a warm, inviting atmosphere ~ lounge style seating around the bar. Dessert: Tiramisu! A great place to indulge in a drink, or two and enjoy a hot and hearty delicious meal!

Lula is perfect for dessert and drinks with girlfriends. Our waitress was engaging, friendly, and fun! There's a cute booth lounge section that fit 7 of us around one table - perfect for our size of group. Also there's a bar and tables as well. The desserts were delicious, we shared 2! And the bottle list was extensive. 4 stars only for the not-so-great espresso martini my friend ordered. But totally will always be sure to stop here when in Sewickley!

Crab Mac n Cheese
Zabrina H.

Cute cocktail/wine bar in Sewickley. Vibe is comfy cozy. A good place to meet up with friends for drinks and maybe enjoy an app (tapas). I thought they served full meals so I came here hungry. I would advise NOT to do that, lol. The tapas were good but not filling at all. Portions are so small for what you're paying for. The signature/most popular thing on the menu is the meatballs so I would recommend those. I also got the crab mac n cheese and was pleased. Please note this is a small venue so make reservations or try to come early at dinner time to ensure you get a table.

Chicken lettuce wraps
Kristen E.

The best part of my second visit was the company, and I can take him elsewhere. Waited a long time for a table, which was beside the door that wouldn't close by itself on a cold night. My old fashioned was bitter. I found the scallops salty, and one was still cold inside. The petit filet with au gratin potatoes was actually okay. I was still hungry, but when we finally tracked down the waitress, she tried to give us the bill instead of letting us order dessert. I think next time we'll try Forma.

Ed L.

Lula has a fantastic cozy vibe where you can relax and enjoy a nice bottle of wine and some small tapas. They have a great selection of both wine by the bottle and the glass. They also offer a full bar.

Nice!
Rob B.

This is a gem of a place. Wow! I was so glad I found it on Yelp. I would have otherwise never known about it. I was super excited to try this place and boy did it exceed all of my expectations. The town this place is located in is very inviting and the people who work here are too. I didn't expect anything otherwise though. Upon entering I saw people from outside the windows talking, smiling and enjoying themselves and I knew right then this place was my kind of place. Me and my date first sat down at the bar to enjoy a glass of wine and beer. The bartender was very welcoming. Then we moved over to the couches and ordered another drink and the citrus fish bites app. Wow, again! They were very good and the tarter sauce was probably the best I have ever had. The waitress was very welcoming and friendly as well. We didn't stay long because my date was a bit tipsy(lol) from prior drinks and she accidentally knocked over the lamp on the table but I apologized. They were super nice about and giggled as only the bulb itself stopped working. *Be careful when sitting down close to the wall as the lamp cord could accidentally get in your way if you're not aware of it. This place is top notch and deserves five stars. I'll be back the next time I'm in town and I will recommend it too anyone I know who is visiting Robert Morris University or the surrounding areas. Thanks again and I'll see you soon!

Randomly the bartender gave me another drink that I did initially get, but I didn't order it & told him that, so he took it away lol. After that, we threw in the towel & left without the food, or really any acknowledgement of it- so I was very disappointed, but it's a small place & it was packed. Would consider going back if more staff was added, etc. It's too far of a drive from me & at $16-$18 a drink, I expect decent service.

Our table had two servers assigned to us, which was interesting. I'll be honest, I was skeptical of the prices and that I would leave hungry, but I was proven wrong! I was extremely full, and we went during happy hour so we got one of those deals! Split between 3 people, the bill was pretty reasonable! We each got a personalized wine flight. I got a rosé, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio - the rosé was my fav! Everything else we ordered: -Whipped Sheep's cheese w/ truffle honey + chips -Jamón & Manchego Croquetas (happy hour deal) -Patatas Bravas (happy hour deal) -Mussels + homemade sausage -Albondigas aka spiced meatballs (happy hour deal) -Bacon wrapped dates -Potato tortilla -Spiced beef empanadas -Espresso martini -Chocolate cake Overall I really enjoyed everything! Hard to pick a favorite, but I'd say my least favorite thing was the bacon-wrapped dates (I just don't eat dates very much). I was a little disappointed in the size of the empanadas, I'm used to eating bigger ones from other restaurants, but they were still very tasty! The food came out fast and was super fresh! Our main server Becca was funny, relatable, and really made this such a fun experience! She also treated us to the sangria chug (not sure if that's the official name but that's what I'm calling it lol). The dim lighting and dark decor makes a perfect ambiance for a girls night or date night!

I had a glass of Tierra Limpia (brut/sparkling) that was very good. The atmosphere is modern with European flair. Good service.

He thinks he's funny calling out that it's still morning. Cafe notte has good specials and good food. The staff is consistently friendly. We can immediately tell there's a number of regulars as everyone seems familiar with each other. Live music was really relaxing and for once I can genuinely say it was at a good volume (I think I'm aging). The restaurant has recently been remodeled. Still, it has the star-lit ceiling in the bar and the women's bathroom has an odd step up. The patio is directly on 65 which can be a bit noisy.

More than 30mins goes by when the server comes out and essentially has to ask for our orders again, keep in mind the restaurant is essentially empty, she says something was wrong with the system but the food would be out in 3mins.

My husband's quiche came out $26 covered in balsamic after he had told the server at the very beginning he was allergic, she took it back and brought back a TINY piece. $400 later, I'm still irritated and completely disappointed.

We were warmly greeted by Todd and Gina, the owners, who couldn't have been friendlier. Todd told us all about their wines, including the awards they've won, especially in California, and generously offered us the chance to try any of the wines at no cost. We started with the Gruner Veltliner, a bright, citrusy, and crisp wine. It was extremely dry compared to other Gruners we've had, which are usually more fruit-forward, but it was still quite enjoyable. Next, we tried the Riesling, which was also very good. My wife moved over to the semi-sweet side and tried the Traminette, which I eventually sampled after trying all the dry wines. We both really liked it. I then tried the Cabernet Franc, which was a medium-bodied wine with notes of raspberry, blueberry, and a light mocha oakiness--delicious! The Chambourcin was also quite good, without the typical bite or tartness. Lastly, the Flagship Red, a classic Bordeaux-style dry red, had a pleasant hint of pepper and was definitely a standout. Todd shared that they exclusively offer wines from Stony Run Vineyards in Breinigsville, PA, which has a wide selection. They're also planning to offer Old Fashioneds soon, as their winery includes a distillery, and they'll be featuring a "drink of the week" as well. What really sets this place apart, though, is Todd and Gina themselves. They're genuinely kind people who are dedicated to the community, and it was heartwarming to learn that they both served in the US Military--Todd in the Navy and Gina in the Air Force. We're already looking forward to our next visit when we're in the area again. Don't forget to thank them for their service when you stop by!

My issue is that they use the Argentinian style label as a marketing tool and they are not even close. The price was ridiculously high for the experience.
