    We visited Daisies on a Tuesday for dinner, and it was a full house - energetic and lively! The wait hostess and wait staff were absolutely lovely. The food servings are small, which was mostly a plus in our minds. (Very flavorful, filled us up, and less leftovers to have to worry about carting home - with prices that aligned. We did wish there were some vegetables on the plate, though.) We got the Pappardelle, Doppio Ravioli, Spaghetti, and Rainbow Trout. All were delicious!

    Lula Cafe NEVER disappoints. I’ve been wanting to try their farm dinner for a while and when it aligned with my birthday AND had wagyu on the menu, I knew it was the perfect opportunity. Seating for our reservation was delayed, but the staff was very apologetic and went above and beyond to make up for it. The hospitality at Lula is impeccable. They checked in with us multiple times and even sent a free appetizer and desserts. They made me feel so special on my birthday and I just genuinely had the greatest time. I’m so impressed with their ever changing menu and delivery on unique farm dinners. Thank you Lula Cafe and the whole team for being the absolute BEST in the game!

    I’ve been here 4 times and the food is amazing ! The empanadas here are the best. I love the steak here, and their desserts are good as well. Service was great, our waiters were kind and funny. The restaurant was clean. It is a good spot for a date night, family dinner, or just catch up with a friend over a meal. In my opinion, the ambiance of the restaurant fits almost every scenario.
