We stopped in for lunch today and almost didn't even stay because the host literally looked down his nose at us once he finally walked up to the host stand. We had grabbed menus while we waited for him and aside from the glare he didn't say anything to us. We told him our reservation information and he walked over to our table and still didn't say a word to us. We were one of the only tables there so it wasn't a case of being busy. Thankfully our waiter was great, friendly, just right amount of service. Support staff cleared plates and kept our water full the entire time as well. We got the borscht, warm goat cheese salad and chicken milanese. The soup was great, as was the chicken, I just wish there was a bit more to the salad than goat cheese medallion, dressed salad leaves and a few slices of radish. We also got the chocolate pavé which came out hot and as our waiter said "still jiggly" and it was great, light with a lovely slightly bitter chocolate and chantilly cream. The space is cute inside the Hammer Museum, table setting and decor was nice as well. Overall we enjoyed the visit but having to deal with the host - he really was the rudest host I've ever encountered - at a place like this, acting like that is not ok, especially when he is the first face you encounter when you come in. read more

** 18% Service Charge ** We took a short walk from UCLA to Lulu and were immediately impressed by the restaurant's inviting, open-air atmosphere and thoughtfully designed space. It was relatively quiet when we arrived, but the dining area began filling up as the lunch hour approached. The menu offered an appealing variety of dishes, with prices that seemed reasonable for a restaurant of this caliber. I started with the strawberry fresca, which was light and refreshing. For my entrée, I chose the sautéed Channel Islands vermilion rockfish, served with fresh cranberry beans and salsa verde. The fish was perfectly cooked, the flavors were beautifully balanced, and the portion was generous. The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our visit. While the food and service were excellent, one aspect of the experience left a less favorable impression: the 18% service charge, described as a way "to ensure fair, equitable wages for all." I have no objection to paying a premium for quality food, nor do I hesitate to tip generously when service warrants it. However, I find mandatory service charges frustrating, particularly when they blur the distinction between fair employee compensation and gratuities earned through exceptional service. In my view, paying employees fairly should be a fundamental responsibility of the restaurant, reflected transparently in its menu pricing rather than added as a separate charge. This approach diminishes what would otherwise be a very positive dining experience. Overall, Lulu delivers excellent food, a lovely atmosphere, and attentive service. If you're comfortable with the additional 18% service charge, it's certainly a worthwhile lunch destination. For me, though, that policy takes some of the shine off an otherwise enjoyable meal. read more

My first review, but not my first visit, to Lulu. It opened in 2021. I actually dined here twice in one day. Located in the lovely courtyard of the Hammer Museum (which has free admission), Lulu was conceived by Alice Waters, one of California's pioneering chefs, of Chez Panisse in Berkeley fame. Locally sourced, farm-to-table California cuisine did not exist before Chef Waters. Her friend David Tannis was Lulu's original chef. I returned here recently because the LA Times food critics are quite enamored of Lulu's current chef, Giles Clark. Lulu is an outdoor restaurant with most seating beneath several trees and umbrellas. There is a more protected bar and dining area, but they're still open-air. As such, my visits during the recent heat/humidity wave were hot and sticky. I brought my own fan. But it's a beautiful space, very peaceful and serene. Lulu is open for lunch and dinner, with a light mid-day menu between. Both lunch and dinner offer a 3-course prix fixe menu plus numerous a la carte dishes. The prix fixe menu, and some of the a la carte dishes, change daily as the menu is market dictated. Rest assured seasonal local produce anchors the menu, some are lovingly on display as a centerpiece. There is a daily agua fresca and shrub. Note the lunch prix fixe is $20 less than dinner. On the day I visited, the menus were the same (don't know about portion size), but they are sometimes different. I did the prix fixe for lunch, then a la carte for dinner. The agua fresca on this day was raspberry with 2 floral ingredients, one may have been geranium. It was delish, on the tart side. The fresh-squeezed lemonade I had at dinner was equally tart and delish. The prix fixe this day was: 1) eggplant babaganoush with grilled onion and cucumber salad 2) meatball and tomato tagine with haricots verts, olives and saffron couscous 3) cardamom-orange chocolate custard with pistachio brittle. I also received some Clark Street bread and butter. Everything was fab, especially the produce, as expected. My dinner dishes were: 1) chilled corn soup 2) tomato salad a la Niçoise with olives, egg and anchovies 3) rigatoni with lobster mushrooms alla vodka 4) summer melon sorbet with gingersnap. The soup, salad and sorbet were late summer in bowls and on a plate. The pasta was substantial with the meaty mushrooms and the sauce had a kick. Service was great at both meals, and the host at lunch was fab--I think he was a manager/do everything person. My dinner waiter pointed out Chef Giles when he was sitting in the courtyard; he looks quite young! Definitely worth visiting! And you can enjoy the (air conditioned) galleries before or after. read more

My first time, and full disclosure: there is a new chef and the previously offered prix fixe menu is no more. That said: the space is just lovely and while outdoors, it is covered and perfectly comfortable even on a rainy night. All things considered, the starters were the highlights of our meal. The carrot ginger soup had a wonderful texture with some great savory notes from the leeks. My Moroccan lentils, while well cooked, were made fabulous with the accompanying beets and the finger licking good mint yogurt. The mains were a bit lacking in terms of integration and execution. My mezze maniche pasta had perfectly delivered individual ingredients with the pasta and mushrooms, but the parmigiano fell flat and I wish the sauce would have been more binding and hearty. My friend loved the short rib but the shoestring potatoes were trying to be too creative while sacrificing the comfort and taste we crave with a meat & potatoes dish. Dessert was a scoop of Meyer Lemon ice cream, which certainly delivered on flavor but was not terribly impressive with the overall presentation and the tiny polenta biscuit that came with. Kudos to the mixologist for a limited albeit creative cocktail list- the plum martini was outstanding. Service was highly competent although a bit curt and haughty at times. There is a lot of potential here but the edges need to be smoothed out with some more thought about integration of the very thoughtfully sourced ingredients that Alice Waters championed. Remain aware that there is an already included 18% service charge on your check. read more

This is a lovely space. It's associated with the Hammer museum at UCLA. It's in the courtyard with an outdoor seating area, as well as indoor seating. There is jazzy latin tinged music playing and it's just beautiful. So that's a winner. This place was inspired by Alice Waters, who was a main force in the California Cuisine farm to table movement. Her restaurant in Berkeley, Chez Panisse, was the most amazing restaurant in the East Bay when I went to Cal. This place is far different. But it's great on its own terms. The menu tonight is themed with a movie playing at the Hammer. So it's not the normal fare. But from what I understand, they do a different prix fix menu every night, in addition to their normal offerings. This meal was wonderful. The first course was a poblano chile filled with a walnut based stuffing. It was delicate and brilliant. It was also a dish from the movie that was served at a wedding and everyone fell in love. The main was a medley of different seafoods (scallops, shrimp, clams, and tilefish) with vegetables (hominy, garlic, avocado, onion, and chile) and a lovely broth that was deconstructed and wonderful. The dessert was just enough too. It seemed to be inspired by the wedding cake from an early scene in the movie. Really great. The service is perfect. The waitperson was friendly and helpful. The food was served well timed and the plates cleared efficiently, never rushed. It was a great meal. I loved this place and I'd come again. This series is movies about food. Like Water for Chocolate is a movie I saw when I was in law school, and 29 (young). I loved this movie 33 years ago. I loved it again. The meal at LULU truly accented the film. Thank you LULU! read more

Lulu's is located in the Hammer Museum. It's in a covered outdoor area. Great ambience! The menu changes daily with a variety of salad, soup, and sandwich offerings. There is a Three Course Offering as well. Service was excellent! We were a group of four with a reservation for lunch. Immediately seated and our server was very attentive. He answered all of our menu questions (I had to Google a few of the menu options first!). We started with an order of Country Bread, definitely recommend, warm with a wonderful crunch crust! I ordered a salad with protein. It was very small for the price ($26) and shortly after I was very hungry! I was thankful I at least had bread to help fill me up. The salad, Chicken on a bed of greens with dressing, was excellent. The chicken was marinated and very tender. The Miso dressing light and tasty. It was just much smaller than expected for an "entrée" salad! One of my friends ordered the Mixed Green Salad for $12, and it was much larger than mine! The ingredients are all very fresh but at least more greens on my plate would have been better! A bit more chicken too! This is an Alice Waters restaurant and inside a museum, I expected pricey but did not expect to leave hungry especially after spending $40 (with tax and tip) for lunch. read more

I'm going to get slack for this and it's definitely an unpopular opinion but I have never been impressed by Lulu (I am sorry)!!! And I'm the odd one out because several of my good friends LOVE this spot. I've been 3-4 times now and each time I'm left with a hefty bill and an unremarkable / not memorable meal. The staff is great! The ambiance? Fantastic. However I am a foodie at heart and I would rather eat a great meal at hole-in-the-wall than a mediocre meal in a nice venue. This meal (small portion of fish with side of some chopped vegetables, drink, 1/2 shared pasta, and a split dessert) was over $90 - my fault that I didn't look at the prices as I expected this to be more like $60-70. As a graduate student, that hurts my wallet so much. Mind you this is with the UCLA student discount. At this phase of my life if I am going to pay that much for a meal it better be super good, and this was lackluster. Flavors were bland. Granted it is well known for being farm fresh with local ingredients, so I am sure that is what ups the price tag. But to serve an entree without at least 2 sides for this amount of money is kind of wild - where are the mashed potatoes or other carb?? I will say the bread was good (I think it's from Clark Street so no surprise) but I can just buy a loaf at Clark Street myself. After this last visit, I concluded that I won't be back solely because the taste and value isn't matching the price. I left hungry. But give it a try for yourself, as several people I know list this as their favorite place in LA. read more

Service is good, atmosphere is nice, food is great. There just isn't enough of it. Ordered the pasta porcini (that's probably not the right name) and left starving. The price of a high-end full meal; a portion equal to maybe half an appetizer at most places. Soup didn't come with bread or crackers. Hmmm. Also confused because the waiter explained to us - not sure how it came up - that they're paid a living wage (yay to that!) and don't work for tips. Yet there was an 18 percent service charge added to the check AND space for a tip on the bill. Again, hmmm. Finally, my real complaint, and I've eaten here several times, is that there's nothing but carbs and small-ish salads on the menu for people who don't eat meat. It's L.A. Lots of vegetarians. We would like more options, please. read more

Located in the Hammer museum courtyard, Lulu stands on its own as a nice restaurant serving up a lovely dining experience. They offer a 3 course prix fixe menu or a la carte ordering. The menu changes daily I believe, based on what's fresh, and all of our dishes were vibrant and well-prepared. I went with the prix fixe because the pork secreto sounded phenomenal, and it was. All of the flavors on the plate came together to create a flavorful dish and the plating looked like a piece of colorful artwork. Even the salad to start was fresh and crisp, and the peach ice cream to finish it out did not disappoint. They really are serving up beautiful, elevated fare here in an atmosphere that feels like a little oasis tucked away from the street. Our server was very professional and attentive as well. read more

Great food; simply presented, not over seasoned. Great service; never had to ask for more water, wine, etc. Great venue; covered/outdoor options in a beautiful courtyard. The menu changes almost daily depending on what is freshly available. And, not expensive. So, we can go back again. Special thanks to Patti and the rest of the staff. read more

They charge an 18% service fee, which is supposed to cover the staff's compensation (tip), but the receipt still had a tip section. As a result, I ended up tipping twice without realizing it! The service was terrible, too. I asked for a napkin twice, but they never brought one, so I ended up taking one from the table next to me. The host saw me take it and gave me an annoyed look! Terrible service, and I'd never go back. read more

Lulu at the Hammer is a great spot. The service is warm and attentive, and the food? Absolutely amazing. It's one of those places that just feels good from start to finish. Now I will say--it's a bit on the pricey side, but the flavors and the ambiance make up for it. read more

The 'Like Water for Chocolate' menu that was paired with the movie in LULU's Film & Food series was truly unique. I had never eaten anything like Chiles en Nocando, much less tried to make them. And although I grow my own tomatillos and use a molcajete to make salsa verde, it was clear that the Pozole verde de Mariscos was made by a chef at the top of their game. To crown it all off, the wedding cake, recreated from the film was a piece of art... that tasted divine. I feel so fortunate to have this restaurant in my neighborhood. p.s. really enjoyed my pea-shoot martini as well! read more

I have had drinks at this cute restaurant inside of the Hammer Museum before, but this is the first time that I had dinner here. The service was excellent. The wait staff is friendly and attentive. We ordered a butter lettuce salad with goat cheese and a radish to share. It was fresh, but nothing my special. I ordered the gnocchi and it was very delicious. My companion ordered the smoked salmon. It was basically smoked salmon over goat cheese with two macadamia nuts. It was underwhelming. Overall, I would give this restaurant 3.5 stars if I could. read more

A visit to Los Angeles is never complete without dining at LULU at the Hammer Museum in Westwood. Every visit offers a new culinary adventure, with an ever-changing menu inspired by the seasons and thoughtfully sourced ingredients. The meal began with a refreshing peach shrub, the perfect way to start the meal on a summer day with a large slice of fresh peach. Next came a beautiful dish of cucumbers and fennel served with a unique and absolutely delicious almond aioli. The chilled summer squash soup followed and was wonderfully refreshing on a warm day. The fresh country bread and butter were an excellent accompaniment. The pasta course featured Fusilli Pesto Genovese with braised potatoes, very thinly sliced string beans, and fragrant Genovese basil with a fabulous marriage of flavors. Quite simply, it was the best pesto pasta we've ever had--fresh, vibrant, and perfectly balanced. A sweet ending to the meal included a delightful plum crumble, a wonderful seasonal finish. Dining al fresco in the shaded courtyard with a gentle breeze made for an especially relaxing and enjoyable experience.As always, the staff and server were professional, warm, very welcoming, and attentive. Convenient parking in the garage too LULU continues to be one of Los Angeles' finest dining destinations, combining creativity, exceptional ingredients, and flawless execution. If you're visiting the Hammer Museum--or simply looking for an unforgettable meal--this is a restaurant that should not be missed. Highly recommended! read more

In the Hammer museum, I've been wanting to come here every time I go to a flux event. Finally here. The service is phenomenal. Kudos to Noah! I'm having the gnocchi ricotta with squash. I didn't consider it could be zucchini, but it is. Mushrooms on the side. Nice and crunchy. Lovely sparkling wine. Cute little salt container worth of mention. Niki comes in a hot plate which I highly appreciate. Not too many vegetarian options but I'm glad I love this one. read more

LULU Restaurant LA - Gnocchi - New American Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Courtyard vibes + French 75 = an idyllic afternoon at Lulu. I wandered into Lulu during their snack service (2-5pm) and felt instantly charmed by the sun-dappled courtyard. Think chic garden party meets laid-back California cool. The staff were warm and attentive, making the experience feel extra special. I opted for a round of small bites.. all $12, which felt reasonably priced considering the quality. The focaccia sandwich was a savory dream, and the chocolate cake? Decadent without being too heavy. To top it off, I sipped on a French 75 cocktail.. gin, lemon, and sparkling wine.. a crisp, citrusy delight that tasted like vacation in a glass. One tiny hiccup: a few overly enthusiastic bees joined us at the table. I spent a good chunk of time perfecting my gentle drink-defending swat technique. High stakes stuff when your cocktail is that good! read more

The food: terrific, had a delicious Chicken Milanese and my lemonade was great. Small glass but tasted fresh and very good. The staff: couldn't be better. Friendly inviting and welcoming and here's where it stops, at the maître 'd or the person who seats you. Snarky is the best way to describe him. No smile and made a "snarky" comment when my husband picked up a menu at the front desk, to take a look at it. The patio is a beautiful, open area - a terrific place to have lunch, especially in the summer. read more

It was so cute! even though we were cold, we were drawn in by the open air setting with tables and umbrellas and heat lamps! great, friendly service - they explained before they seated us that they only had small bites at that time of day (4pm) which was fine with us. - almonds - 5/5, seasoned with something yummy and hit the spot - sourdough bread and salted butter - 5/5, chewy delicious sourdough slices (six slices) - hot chocolate with oat milk - 5/5 would love to go back again! read more

Such a beautiful farm to table restaurant. With live music too which enhance the mood and making it fun. This is conveniently located in the Westwood village close to UCLA campus and in the same courtyard of the Hammer Museum. I ordered couple items from the a la carte menu. Portion is not big which allow you to try multiple dishes. I love how each is arranged aesthetically on plate - some are sprinkled with mini florals which add a side of artsy to it. I pretty much recommend everything that i tired. everything prepared just right to my taste. - starter: gem salad with cucumber and beets, cheese board with bread and butter, garlic soup with poached egg - entree: clams (huge!) with garlic and toasted bread, rockfish with white asparagus (2 orders), ricotta gnocchi with English peas and leek soup - Dessert: Chocolate pavé with crème Chantilly, Coco butter mochi, Apple-berry crumble, Strawberry rhubarb sorbet We tried all four desserts on the menu! Just can't resist. i am surprised that they all taste superb. Not too sweet which is a compliment. Service is attentive and friendly. Our orders came out pretty quickly. We parked on campus and walk over. They do offer valet parking on the location. $15. read more

We had our team holiday dinner here at LULU. It's located inside a courtyard that connects to the Hammer Museum, so there's a nice level of seclusion as well. They have the Prix Fixe or Ala Carte menu, but I stuck to the latter for this particular evening. Fortunately, it was a restaurant accommodating to vegetarians, especially for me and a colleague of mine. The tricky part is that the menu is different every single day. Therefore, what I told you that ate may not be there the next day. I'll highlight a few of the items: 1) Butternut Squash: This was shared with the group, but was a solid appetizer 2) Manzana Manhattan: We ordered individual cocktails to start before dabbling in a bottle of wine (Margaux) for the table. The wine was self explanatory, but loved the presentation of the Manhattan. 3) I ordered the Eggplant Parmesan and was thoroughly impressed. It was a small portion per the eyes, but truthfully very filling and not heavy. I just think the sauteed spinach was the perfect complement too. Loved the presentation and the extra touch. 4) Chocolate pave with cream chantilly was the perfect night cap. If they get any minus stars, it's that the service was kinda slow. But the food made up for it. So can't so wrong. read more

First time at Lulu and was not impressed. The positives: the setting is beautiful and the service was friendly and attentive. We each ordered the tomato salad nicoise- it was half a tomato, a hard boiled egg, a few olives and a chopped up anchovy filet for $24- what a joke. All of us left hungry. They need to actually feed people for the prices they charge. read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Artsy and spendy, with pretty good food. The Hammer is one of my fave museums, and I finally decided to try its restaurant for lunch on my last visit. As it was midday midweek, seats were easy to come by. Since I was alone I decided on a bar seat. The restaurant is beautiful and serene, in the shade of the plants in the courtyard. They don't have a huge menu, but their choices looked appealing. I decided on an eggplant banh mi (served with pickled vegetables) with an iced tea. I found the top slice of the bread to be a bit too hard, but the rest of the sandwich was tasty, and the iced tea was fine. The service at the bar was cordial and prompt, and it was a very nice museum cafe lunch, with prices to match--a little over $30 with tax and tip. Not sure if I'd make a habit of it with so many other options in the area, but it was good to check out at least once. read more

Located in the Hammer Museum in Westwood, LULU offers simple yet delicious offerings in a serene setting. With most the seating outdoors, LULU's ambiance is relaxed with ample seating and spacious interior. The dining is casual and the menu is simple offering prix fixe or a la carte. With recommendation from the server we went with the stuffed squash blossoms with ricotta. This to me was the star of the show, it was lightly fried stuffed with ricotta top with shaved parmesan. Highly recommend you get this dish as it unlike anything you have tried before. Also ordered the Gem lettuce salad seasoned with a tangy zesty flavor similar to caesar salad. It was refreshing and flavorful. The main we went with the Rib Eye which took quite a bit of time to get to the table for some reason. The staff gave us complimentary bread due to the wait of the main. If you are in the Westwood area definitely give LULU a try as it is a wonderful place to enjoy a meal. Also know they charge an 18% service charge to total bill. read more

I have lived in LA for over 20 years and this was the WORST restaurant I have ever been to. I went with my friend and we both ordered the falafel, hummus, and olive plate. When it arrived there was a smear of hummus on the plate. 5 tiny falafel the size of a nickel each. A small pile of cabbage? Underneath that was a smear of hot sauce. And I found ONE fragment of an olive. I complained and told them the portion size was unacceptable as an entree for $24. We were told they could give us more olives and hummus. They brought out a total of 4 olives for my friend and I to share and about 1/8 cup of hummus. Then when we were ready to leave the server came over and left the bill. We tipped 20% even though we were unhappy with the meal because it wasn't the server's fault. When I got home I saw that the service charge was pre-added before we got the bill. So we ended up being tricked into leaving a 40% tip. DO NOT EAT HERE. This place is a shameful disgrace. Copy of my receipt so you can see the automatic 18% that we missed when we calculated our tip. read more

Lulu was just okay. The service was fine, and the menu had some fun options, but nothing really "wow"-ed me. Sitting outside we dealt with bugs, a few crawling on the table, a few in the water, and the table didn't seem particularly clean. The beets were delicious and the figs were a nice touch to my entree but overall did not particularly have me wondering about other menu items or excited to return.

Lulu is like a little oasis inside another oasis (Hammer Museum). We only had soup, deviled eggs and bread so a slightly less detailed review. Service was great from greeting to seating to taking our order. Very attentive. Water refilled quickly! The soup was "better than I make" and the deviled eggs were outstanding. The secret ingredient is wasabi and that gave them a nice little kick. The mini-loaf of bread, and butter was perfect to go with the soup and to clean up the egg remnants. Would love to try more of the menu next time. We loved Lulu's and the Hammer! read more

I've been wanting to try Lulu for so long, and our experience was definitely worth the wait. The restaurant has an amazing ambiance as it's nestled in a beautiful courtyard within the Hammer museum. To start, we got the arancini and, baby gem salad, and warm goat cheese salad all per our server's recommendation. The salads were fantastic! The arancini was just okay, it was very small and mine didn't have much cheese in it. Two of us got the vongole pasta, and the other two got the leek and bean gnocchi. Everyone loved their entree! The vongole had a generous amount of clams, the pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sauce was flavorful. The portions were on the smaller side so we also got bread, and the butter it came with was so delicious. We wanted to try the desserts and got the pistachio cake and apple crumble, which were great. Would highly recommend Lulu! read more

The food was delicious, but the portions were ridiculously small for the price. My dish was $48 (before taxes and fees) and there was literally about 1.5 ounces of lamb on the place, a tablespoon of parsnip foam and two baby carrots. Delicious, but not enough food.
