Lulu's (round Top) - ROUND TOP
Lulu's (round Top)
Description
In ROUND TOP, a polished restaurant with charming bar decor and onsite cottages delivers mostly gourmet fare—standout dishes include carbonara, a Texas‑twist bolognese and burrata—backed by attentive, accommodating staff and a welcoming cellar for events. The dining room is beautiful and often delightful, but inconsistent execution tempers the experience: high prices, occasional unavailable menu items, small desserts, maintenance lapses (loose floorboards, a restroom issue) and minor pest sightings. Worth visiting for special occasions, but expect variable value for the cost.

On a positive note, they did not charge us for the pricey cocktails we had or for the cold meatballs, which was a nice gesture. However, for a “high-end” establishment, I expected food and service that justified the prices on their menu. Overall, it was overpriced and significantly overrated. I won’t be returning.
I visited this restaurant for my office's end-of-year party, and I was impressed with the spacious cellar, perfect for large gatherings. The waitress suggested the bolognese, and many of us ordered it—it was fantastic! The dish had a unique Texas twist with the meat, and I highly recommend it. The Sicilian Joe cocktail was also a highlight; it was sweeter than I anticipated, but I really enjoyed it! On the downside, I found the tiramisu a bit dry for my taste. We did have a little issue with sugar ants on our table, which was amusing. Overall, it's a solid choice in Round Top!
We had an amazing dining experience with fantastic food and a wonderful staff from the management on down. While visiting family in town, we decided to stop here for dinner. Although the restaurant was quite full, we were promptly seated and received excellent service. The manager made the rounds that night and, upon learning we were from out of town, graciously offered us complimentary dessert and took the time to chat with us about our visit and where we came from. The hospitality, food, and conversation were all top-notch!
Exceptional choice! The food is delightful, and the service from the entire staff is excellent. It's a bit on the expensive side, but definitely worth it. Open daily, and I will be returning frequently.
