If you're planning on going during a Friday or Saturday night, be prepared to wait. Seating and atmosphere is very cozy and can be on the intimate side.
Undeniably, Lulu's Chocolate Bar has fantastic delicacies and beverages, and when we finally got served, we did enjoy them. The mismanagement of the "hostesses" and the unapologetic excuses, when we repeatedly (at least 4 times) expressed a willingness to be split up into separate groups, left this reviewer with a strong (unfortunately) negative impression of this business. Perhaps a change in management could improve the attitude? How about some training?
There is some confusion from my side. I tried to do a reservation over the phone once, but was told that they don't do reservations. When I stopped by one day, I saw two tables pushed together with a reservation sign on the table...
If you're a chocolate fiend like me, then I suggest the sipping chocolate. It's an espresso cup filled to the brim with melted dark chocolate and topped with whip cream for $2. It's comfort and happiness in a tiny cup with a tiny spoon and saucer.
We had a group of 12. Having come here before with a large group, we let them know at the get-go it would be okay to table us in groups of 4 or so. They gave us a 45-minute wait time, so we hung out, waiting. We watched as they seated several tables of people who came after we did, into tables of 2-4, even 6. Finally, after an hour and 15 minutes of watching customers leave where we COULD have been seated, but were NOT, we confronted the "hostesses" and were fed a bunch of lame excuses for, essentially, a lack of rational crowd management skills. We did (10 of us -one couple gave up and left), eventually, get seated in tables next to each other (after about an hour and a half wait time).
They have a few desserts that are always in house - strawberry suspension cake and white chocolate chip cheesecake - and then they have some that are constantly rotated out. There is fondue available and cheese plates.
The desserts here are really good. I always get the chocolate covered strawberries. You have the option of white or dark chocolate or can mix. You get three per serving. I don't know where they get their strawberries from, but they are always sweet. juicy, and plump.
On busy nights, there will be a hostess outside who will take your name and number if there is a wait. They use a popular app to keep track and notify people when their tables are available and how long their wait is (the name escapes me). It's nifty because instead of waiting around for a table, it gives you the opportunity to go mingle somewhere else.
Went to Lulu's for dessert because a friend recommended it to us. Excellent experience from start to finish! The bar/restaurant has a classy atmosphere. Menu is nicely varied. Settled on the Rapture Sundae. I've never had a dessert this good. SERIOUSLY. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!
It was fabulous!! I got the pecan praline pie. One of my sisters got an enormous piece of pumpkin spice cake and had to take half with her. My other sister got chocolate fondue with bananas, strawberries, macaroons and shortbread cookies. We sat outside enjoying the great weather.
The waitstaff is very young - we're a college town and SCAD is located in downtown Savannah - and sometimes not very attentive. They could be helping to prepare the desserts - not really sure. Don't surprised if your desserts take some time to get to your table - especially if there are a lot of you in one group.
In my time in Savannah - I ate here twice because the first time was so amazing! The charcuterie (sp?) was amazing. So many meats and cheese and I loved it all! The chocolate fondue was seriously amazing. I was actually licking the cup to make sure we wasted NONE of the amazing chocolate dip. You have done a disservice to your time in Savannah if you skip this place.
