Lula Cafe Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Short wait, clean restaurant, and amazing food.
Small menu but there is still plenty to choose from. I highly recommend the baked feta. It was absolutely delicious. Water was served as soon as we sat down and that small gesture makes a HUGE difference if the waiter or waitress is busy. Gives you time to really look through the menu.
Great brunch spot! I had something else in mind when I
Great brunch spot! I had something else in mind when I ordered the tofu scramble but I still enjoyed my meal. They have some great veggie options. It's always packed and there's a good vibe.
Great tasting food, I like the sourdough French toast, not
Great tasting food, I like the sourdough French toast, not too sweet, a bit dry, but good. The French omelet comes with a good tasting salad, i also like the nice ambiance and decoration. The staff is friendly and didn't get information from the server, but she did come and check a couple of times. The wait is long on those busy days and no other way to check in on mobile app but the is a book store near by to check it out while waiting for the text to let you know the table is ready, they give you ten minutes to arrive after the text. The bar is first come, first serve. It was with the wait. In the summer, they do offer outdoor seating. Their menu is short and good. It is a bit loud since the noise travels well. Feel free to take a walk at the park and monument nearby. On Sundays in the summer, there is a farmers market. Service is included at 20 and fell free to leave more. Paid parking in front and around, I'll come again.
If you're in Chicago this spot should be added to your must
If you're in Chicago this spot should be added to your must do list. Although the restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside, what awaits inside will definitely wow you. The super friendly hostess lead to a funky side room caulk full of patrons, which was impressive at 10pm. We started with the baked French feta which came with 4 supersized pieces of bread. Normally when I order dips I have to ask for extra bread... but not this time. I had more bread than dip! Needless to say I was very happy. The oysters came out next. They were super fresh and the mignonette was fantastic. The roast chicken arrived next. Wow. Super filling and delicious. I could have eaten a bowl of the bitter greens alone. Lastly was the spaghetti. This I have to say was the least favorite of the night. It came in a salsa rosa which was more of a lo mein texture (greasy) and the flavor was definitely not a typical red or pink sauce. However, I could see how someone else would like this medley.
4 stars overall - 5 stars for the food and hostess on the
4 stars overall - 5 stars for the food and hostess on the day of our visit and 1 star for our waitress. We came in on a Monday and it seemed like there were more people than usual because it was the first warm day of the year, so people were out and about. Makes sense. We were quoted a 45-minute wait time and were called to be seated in 60. Also makes sense because stuff happens. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and getting our vitamin D in, so no big deal. As soon as we were seated, we knew what to order and placed our order pretty quickly. Got our food and everything tasted amazing (got the buttermilk pancakes, which are the best in the city and the turkey sandwich with bacon). For reasons we couldn't figure out, our waitress was one-sided beefing with us. We're really low maintenance people and didn't ask for anything, so why she ignored us and maybe was mad with us is confusing. I think she only had the tables on the stage and after we placed our order, she never checked on us and took the longest time to get our check. Ultimately, it took greater than 30 minutes after we asked for a box and placed our napkins on the table to signal we were done to get a check. I had to take a work call so my husband took care of paying the bill while I stepped outside, but he didn't exit the restaurant until after 15-20 minutes I did as he had to ask our waitress for our bill, despite it being past 2 pm and with fewer customers than when we started our meal. When he paid the bill and thanked our waitress, she just looked at him, took the check, and walked away. Huh. The person bussing the table was lovely and very helpful, so she and the hostess really helped offset this really weird experience. I guess we'll be back for the amazing food and otherwise really nice staff, but we're hoping we don't get to work with that particular waitress again. Things that are great at Lula: the turkey sandwich with slaw, pancakes, any of the French toast they offer, and pastries. Things that aren't great: weird service where the waitress is mad at you for reasons unknown.
Found this very popular spot for brunch while browsing on
Found this very popular spot for brunch while browsing on Yelp! I was glad I was able to try something savory plus something sweet here! I would def recommend the biscuits and gravy ($22) but I do wish the portion sizes of their dishes were slightly bigger considering their prices. I was sad seeing how much potatoes I got since it was $6. I did enjoy the sourdough French toast and while the strawberry rhubarb jam was yummy, I think the dish could've benefitted from having more fresh strawberries on it! Service was quick and attentive. This spot gets busy but they text you once your table is ready so you can walk around the neighborhood if the weather is nice!!
Truly delicious.
I loved that the menu isn't meat centric. Excellent relaxed service compliments the comfortable atmosphere
We went to Lula Cafe for dinner on a late Friday evening
We went to Lula Cafe for dinner on a late Friday evening with a reservation. Our table was ready early and we were notified in case we wanted to pop by early. We were seated right away. The table was a little tight as we also had our LO in the carseat but later when a bigger space opened up, the staff accommodated our move! The ambience was vibrant. We ordered the beetroot bruschetta, french onion soup and baked feta to start with. My favorite was the baked feta - it was immensely flavorful and usually not a fan of olives, they were delicious! The beetroot bruschetta was surprisingly yummy as the ingredients complimented each other very well! We ordered the chickpea tagine and spaghetti for main dishes. The chickpea tagine has been on my list to try out for a while and it was really good! However, the disappointment of the night was the spaghetti which seemed very dry and wasn't flavorful at all. We also had chocolate mousse desert which was awesome. However it had a sour ingredient which I couldn't identify that didn't compliment too well. Overall, we had a good experience!
So delicious! Wonderful and hospitable service! Cozy

Amazing fresh creative food, lovely atmosphere, kind and attentive staff. We had a lovely birthday dinner and the birthday surprises they provided (I won't spoil the surprise) were such a wonderful touch. I can't wait to come back again!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
