LouLou Santa Monica

1 word...AMAZING!!!! I just celebrated my birthday weekend at LouLou's and it was more than I could've ask for.My party and I did the Sunday Brunch Party and boy were we surprised! I loved everything about it! Everyone did as a matter of fact.For starters, Victoria was an amazing host. She answered all our questions and made it such an enjoyable day. She was so attentive and fun!Food was amazing, every single thing I had was delicious. The atmosphere, to say the least was phenomenal!!!! Can't wait to go back!

Vibes and cocktails are great, but I would not come again for dinner. The theme of the restaurant, dips & bread to start and some of the staff are pleasant and wouldn't mind going again for, but it was nothing to remember. I love when they do live music and happy hour. Overpriced - not worth the spending.

Lou Lou is located within the outdoor Santa Monica mall at the very top floor. It's an indoor/outdoor location with a couple of fire pits. They didn't have heat lamps though and the warmth wasn't circulating well so I would recommend bringing a jacket if you're visiting during the chillier months! Vibes were immaculate! It was giving upscale tiki. They even had a DJ going. Pesto Spaghetti - Their hand made pasta was super delicious! Perfectly al dente, seasoned, and sauced. The pine nuts added a bit of crunch to some bites. Delicious! Burrata Salad - The components were there but the ratios were off. The salad needed more balsamic vinegar and way more arugula than they supplied. They didn't skimp on the burrata though which was a plus! Still tasty!Fries - Crunchy and seasoned well. They supplied a garlic aioli and ketchup. Came with a good amount of fries. Lava Cake - Cute little cake. The melted chocolate inside wasn't as melted as it should have been but the flavor was so good! This would have been even better if they gave a scoop of ice cream instead of a side of cream to cut the sweetness. They did have 1 raspberry on top which helped with the sweetness for one bite but it wasn't enough. Loulou - This was their signature cocktail. I read vodka and yuzu and was sold! Super delicious! I barely tasted any of the alcohol but I sure felt it :). It also wasn't too sweet!! Dessert Cocktail - Honestly kinda gross haha. I think it was a me thing though. It tasted like an espresso martini with vanilla extract added. Not amazing imo. The staff were super friendly and attentive. The manager even came to greet us and make sure we were ok. The cocktails were slow to come out but the food came out timely. This place is definitely a vibe! Coming back to check out the rest of their menu!

One of my fave spots in Santa Monica!Customer service here is OUTSTANDING. Very impressed with the warm inviting staff. I celebrated my 30th birthday here after celebrating else where and this was the better option of the two. I had a larger party that went seamlessly. Food was more than I could ask for, and well prepared. I am so happy I came. I also came back for my 32nd birthday to enjoy the vibes during the day. There is a DJ on the weekend for brunch and it's a good time. Can't go wring coming here!

LouLou is a hidden gem in Santa Monica. It's perched on the 3rd floor by Nordstrom. The ambiance is super chic and perfect for a date night or a girls' night out. We tried the Hummus, the calamari , and the pizza. The service was friendly and attentive, special thanks to Alec. Overall, a great dining experience!

The manager Victoria gave us a warm welcome and lovely birthday celebration. She chatted with us making it a fun social environment and sang a wonderfully for the birthday celebration. Nick gave us great service as well. The food is good. There could be more vegetarian options. Drinks are lovely ! Different concoctions and yummy. Ambience is fabulous. The love dj picks it up towards the end but it's a fun wide. Parking is in the structure. Try to park on the 5th floor to reach easily to the restaurant.

I recently discovered this restaurant when I visited the Santa Monica Outdoor Place mall. It's located on the 3rd floor next to Nordstrom. The green wall captured my attention with sparkling lights glowing and their logo.My partner and I had an early Christmas date on a Wednesday around 5:30pm. I had made reservations just in case but at this time, there was plenty of tables available.We sat next to the window that gave us a view of the sunset and the very top end of the Santa Monica Pier Ferris Wheel. This restaurant is not high enough to have a great sunset view as the building across blocks most of it.We started with onion soup, and hamachi crudo. It was happy hour so the house wine was $10, and Coke was $5.The highlight of dinner was having the Sole fish, made for two people at $85. Comes with a salad. The fish comes out whole but the chef will clean and prepare it for you at your table. We got a mini show. The sole fish was very good!The Pesto Spaghetti was very good as well~!There is a service fee for the table of 4%.Parking is not validated but it's 90 min. free.I liked the service, waiter was super nice, food was great but for the prices... I can go somewhere else instead. Definitely overpriced for the quantity you're receiving like in the onion soup and hamachi.

This place has it all! Good food, good drinks, good vibes! And more importantly amazing people! Victoria helped us out over the weekend, she was SUCH a good time! She kept the party going for us. Appreciate you! Our experience was great!

This has been in my bookmark and I finally came for my mom's friend birthday brunch and it was very fun with good vibes and dj!It is so pretty inside with nice decor and pretty spacious for big parties' ! It's only $65 per person for brunch and it's well worth it. I do not eat buffet but this was very clean and they had a omelette bar where you can get it fresh. The service was phenomenal and was very personable while helping us. I recommend here and will be back for sure! The food is good and you get a lot of it, that's good quality! Come here for any celebration or Sunday funday brunch with your girls! -Marshay D.

This is such a beautiful restaurant, ideal for a date night or get together with friends or family! Plenty of seating, very beautiful and great ambience. They have a nice happy hour as well. Well, everything is made to order quickly and presented nicely. We enjoyed our food as well as our drinks And will definitely be back! Great option just a few blocks from the beach.
