When LuLu's opened in
late October, a delayed liquor license kept crowds
thin; but three months later, throngs of diners are
shunning longtime loves for shamelessly gluttonous
trysts with LuLu. On any given night, LuLu's
quirky concrete bar is lined with well-known, local
restaurateurs, sipping vino from LuLu's
oh-so-reasonably priced wine list (most bottles are
less than $30). Why, yes --
LuLu's desserts (all $5) are made in-house.
Lulu's deep-dish version, however, did me
oh-so-right. quot; Service at LuLu's is
laid-back but coolly efficient.
