The Lula Inn reviews
79Went for brunch on Saturday and had a great time! Food and drinks were awesome and the service was great, my table had Harriet and she was lovely and happy to help us with everything we needed. Great Experience, will be back:)
Food was great but what really set the tone for our bottomless brunch was our fantastic waitress Cam. Top notch service. Would recommend and will be returning
Fantastic spot! Food and drinks were great, staff engaging and happy to assist. AMAZING area on the back deck next to the water! Thank you for a wonderful extended lunch!
Good atmosphere. Good staff. Good food. I want to mention the male waiter but I can't find him. So please give the $30 tip reward to him please. Ty
We went as a group of 4 to bottomless brunch and was welcomed promptly and throughly walked through the process of how everything worked. Avi was our server and he was extremely helpful and had some laughs between us. Beautiful views and awesome atmosphere also. I would definitely recommend.
Topnotch experience! Took my Mum for mother's day and we had great seafood pasta, chips and wine the live music was fun and the ambience was amazing. Will be back!
Bottomless Rosé are the best after a night shift LOL Shout out to Harriet, our waitress for today’s lunch out, as she’s been really lovely and accommodating and making sure all of us are always topped-up!
Been here a few times and it has progressively gotten worse. The bottomless brunch starts from the time you pay, but we didn't get served till 15 minutes after. The waitresses then proceeded to tell us that they really do one round every 15 minutes. Not really bottomless
Thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Camryn was our waitress and she was great! Knew what she was doing and how to make a table feel welcome and special.
Harriet was so lovely, she attended to all our needs and was so attentive. She’s the best! Very friendly and so much fun having this bottomless brunch experience! ️️️
Awesome experience! Lovely waitress, Harreit was so attentive, she’s so lovely always checking up on us. She’s a gem for the business. ️ (Queen’s Bday) thank you Harriet. We’ll see you again.
We booked a table for 6 on a Sunday night and were seated in a booth. Service was great, Angela and Hannah were patient, accommodating, attentive and friendly. We ordered the platter which was amazing, a couple of pizzas which were also really nice, two vegan dishes (cabbage stack and tofu), the fish and pork belly mains. The two vegan dishes were nice but not amazing and the pork belly crackling was not that pleasant to eat. Everything else was great though! We also took in a cake to celebrate a birthday and they brought that to our table as well as plates, forks etc. Very professional and friendly staff with yummy and reasonably priced food!
Great live band when were there. Easy to find a table to sit at both inside and outside. We had the calamari which was yummy.
Prices are responsible.
Definitely don't regret going here for dinner! Beautifully seasoned and cooked steaks, very friendly *and musical ;p* environment, and quite the drink collection
Will happily go back again! Great spot for the bar too!
Unfortunately we could've had a better experience at The Lula Inn. We came for a bottomless brunch with a group that included two pregnant women. One of them had rung earlier in the week to ask about their options and was told they could order off another menu and wouldn't have to do bottomless. They were then told this wasn't the case when we arrived. Later we saw another table had ordered food which was separate to that on the bottomless menu and when we inquired they were told they actually could have done that but it was just 'bar snacks'. Real lack of communication there.
The food options for bottomless were pretty limited and, although I was happy with the eggs benedict, those around me felt their meals did not match the description on the menu e.g. Beetroot-cured salmon wasn't beetroot-cured and mascarpone was actually butter cream icing.
The venue itself definitely felt understaffed as we were often waiting for top ups and glasses or plates to be cleared.
Let's just say everyone left pretty sober which wasn't due to lack of trying.
Only upside was a beautiful view of the harbour.
Bottomless Brunch is the bees knees. It's not all about the booze. The food, view, music, company and vibes are well worth the $$
Good attentive bar staff and a nice atmosphere. Nice location but outdoor area closes earlier than the indoor area.
Served by the amazing Chrissy, our drinks were never empty during the bottomless brunch and the food was amazing, I had to pan cakes but my friend couldn't finish her burger so I helped with that, 10/10
Great service! Thank you Chrissy!
Great venue and brilliant bottomless brunch. Would have been a 5 star rating but staff were unfriendly when we arrived, and not very attentive. Not sure why they were unable to stay focused as staff out numbered patrons when we arrived. Still worth a trip out thou
This place is one my staples because of the location, live music, ambiance and gin menu! Usually go here for drinks rather than dinner but when I do have food it's not a bad experience. Featured is the fat chips and smoked chicken wings with miso and black garlic. Wasn't a fan of the miso and black garlic flavours so wouldn't order it again. Should've just ordered the four cheese pizza which is to die for! Also went to bottomless brunch for the first time recently and it was quite an experience.
