Good food, good drinks, great atmosphere. Great N. Michigan restaurant for the money. We went with the kids and there was a decent kids menu and the kids were more than welcome.

Lulu's has an international menu with comprehensive beer and wine selections. It must be star-rated sooner or later.

At gem of a restaurant. Great decor (but can be loud if busy). An interesting menu, with well prepared food. Do go if you are in the mood for an upscale dining experience!

You'd never think that this little quaint town would hold such a great spot to eat. When visiting Northern Michigan in February for a few days away with my boyfriend, and the man we rented our cabin from suggested it when we told him we LOVE food. Good food that is. I had the mussels to start, which were only... More

It's hard to believe you can be in a remote northern Michigan town and run across Lulu's which is absolutely a gem. The food here is spectacular, the service is outstanding and the atmosphere is casual, relaxing and inviting. A friend has a place in Kalkaska, MI and we always make it a point to travel to Lulu's for a... More

We've eaten here several times but avoid busy periods. The hard surfaces throughout make for an obnoxiously loud environment. Staffing in a small town is tough so service can be inconsistent. The gourmet food is upscale. If on a budget the pizza is a standout. You need to try it at least once.

Wonderful food, service, and atmosphere. Very impressive, especially in such a small town. We eat here every time we are in Bellaire!

For our appitizer we had the mussels and they were SPECTACULAR! I had never had them before and I couldnt be more pleased with my first expirience. For dinner I had the beef tenderloin and my fiance had the Lemon Sol. Both were so wonderful. The service was fabulous too. Our servers name was Amber and she was everything you... More

We have been coming to Lulu's for years and it seems the last 2 years have gone from 5 stars to 3 or 4. That's a shame. Our savory food was pretty good this time, but the service was spotty and overall it was not a good experience. To top it off the restaurant's air conditioning had broken weeks before... More

Lulu's has been in Bellaire for a number of years. The Antrim county area was in dire need of a better dining experience. Lulu's has lovely appetizers. local produce and some respectable wines. As a bistro it is not quiet, but lively and very friendly. They do not take reservations so don't expect to walk in on a summer night.... More
