Lulu’s is just pure fun! Great place to take the kids. Live music most nights and fantastic appetizers. Fish specials are usually really good. Fun spot to try - I do suggest going online and doing their “get in line” option so you’re not waiting around for a table for too long. Fantastic gift shop. They have some great candles and merchandise.
