Sophia was wonderful to our group, we were there celebrating a UCLA graduate. Everyone treated us with such care. Food was fantastic and the DJ was super good. Othere celebrations were also happening and this is the place to go for a great time! Loved the decor and ambiance! Really special place, I am so happy we went for such a memorable occasion!

Had the pleasure of dining at LouLou Rooftop Restaurant & Lounge in Santa Monica and really enjoyed the experience. The space is absolutely beautiful with a fun Tulum-inspired vibe. I can only imagine how stunning it becomes later in the evening when the sun goes down and all the lights come on, it seems like the kind of place that completely transforms at night. What stood out most was the teamwork among the staff. Everyone was helping each other, which created such a welcoming atmosphere. Our server, Sophie, was an absolute sweetheart. She took her time explaining menu items, answered all of our questions, and delivered genuinely professional service throughout the meal. As someone who loves trying a little bit of everything, we ordered quite a few dishes. I always joke that a bigger table is better because I tend to order enough food for four people, even when dining for two! The team quickly accommodated us by bringing another table over, which was appreciated. The Caesar salad was flavorful, generously dressed, and far from dry. The Hamachi Crudo was incredibly fresh and one of my favorite dishes of the evening. The escargot was delicious as well, though slightly overcooked

My birthday experience at Loulou Rooftop Restaurant & Lounge (brunch) honestly wasn’t one of the best. The place has a very cute and fun atmosphere with Tulum vibes, and that energy definitely matches the decor. The vibe and aesthetics are probably the best part of the place. However, my rating mainly comes down to the food, because it should match the overall experience they’re trying to offer. The menu is basically Mediterranean food that feels very basic, lacking flavor and nothing extraordinary for a brunch spot that’s supposed to stand out. Even worse, the cocktails were terrible. We tried an Old Fashioned that tasted mostly like water, and the Palomas were way too sour. After that, we decided not to order more drinks because we didn’t want to keep getting disappointed. As for the service, it wasn’t bad, but it definitely wasn’t outstanding either. We basically saw our waitress about three times. Honestly, the price does not justify the experience. I would recommend it for the vibe and pictures, but if you’re looking for great food, drinks, and an overall memorable dining experience, I wouldn’t recommend it.

We made a last minute reservation at LouLou’s for dinner. The atmosphere was interesting and gave off a Tulum-like vibe, which made the experience feel unique. The food was good, but it didn’t quite wow me. The restroom was a bit dark and is a shared, gender-neutral restroom. They also opened the curtains during sunset so guests could enjoy the view, which was a nice touch.

Absolutely blown away by this dining experience! From the moment we walked in, everything felt just right. The ambience was warm and inviting, with soft lighting that created the perfect cozy atmosphere. The live music added such a special touch, elevating the entire evening without ever feeling overpowering. The food? Incredible. Every dish was tasty. But what truly made our night unforgettable was the service. Our waiter, Leo, was exceptional, attentive without being intrusive, genuinely kind, and incredibly professional. He anticipated our needs perfectly and made us feel so well taken care of throughout the evening. This is the kind of place you leave already planning your next visit. Highly, highly recommend!
