I was visiting my mom for our birthday. She turned 60, me...the big 4-0. The Grove is one of my favorite spots to hang out in when I fly in from my home state of Ohio. I remembered when the Lulu's space was being designed so I was excited to have dinner there. They have adorable rustic looking dinnerware and I wanted to steal the water bottle ..reminded me of the vintage milk bottles they used to deliver to homes...but Im not that old. \r

Our service was beyond phenomenal. I wish I could remember my server's name. We ordered the Fried Green Tomatoes..and the ranch sauce had a nice suprising kick to it! :) My mom ordered the Mediterranean Salad and shared with me..it was huge. I could drink that dressing by itself. (LOL) I ordered the Jambalaya Bow Tie Pasta.....soooo damn good! I only ate half and killed the rest the next day. We finished with creme brulee (BIG portions again) and coffee drinks. Whew! \r

The decor is ultra cute, staff awesome and attentive and the drinks are hella strong. My only flub was that I asked to have my cocktail made over a couple of times because it was too strong but who complains about a weak drink? Ha! It was some kind of sugary-South American Rum elixir...it was good to me on the 3rd try. AND being a Buckeye...they had the flat screen on at the bar showing an Ohio State bball game. Are you kidding me? Did they know I was coming or something? :) We had a great birthday and I will always come by and see Lulu's. I wish they would open one here in Columbus. I want a T-shirt too! :) \r

Only complaint is a couple of guest were allowed to eat on the patio/walkway with their dogs hanging out too....I love dogs..but >_<.
