Cuisine: Mediterranean

Description & Atmosphere
It's crowded. It's big. And it's noisy. But this very popular South-of-Market Mediterranean restaurant is also a lot of fun and it has terrific food. The full action-packed bar is great for people-watching. Huge martini glasses — one drink is more than enough. The small raised dining area (approximately 12 tables) is a little less noisy than the main dining room, but not by much.

Food
Executive Chef Jody Denton and his Provençal-inspired cuisine have made Lulu's one of San Francisco's premiere dining spots. We like sharing appetizers and entrees with our party — a great way to taste a little bit of everything.

Piled high on the iron skillets, the Roasted Mussels are spectacular. Luscious wood-fired rotisserie dishes and pizzas too. We also like the Petrale Sole and Grilled Marinated Leg of Lamb. Whatever you do, save a little room and treat yourself to dessert. The warm Chocolate Cake with Tangerine Ice Cream is simply to-die-for! (This dessert must be ordered in advance, when you order your meal.)
