I rarely go to Sewickley for dining but suggested to my friend that we check out one of the restaurants there for dinner last Friday night. She chose Lula and am I ever happy that she did. This small wine and tapas bar is absolutely lovely inside - very intimate and stylish yet comfy and welcoming - it lacked the pretentiousness that one might find at a similar type of restaurant in other cities (or even in Shadyside). I felt right at home on the bench seating along the front wall which was adorned with beautiful drapery and the wood beam ceilings and dark wood bar with the eclectic lighting overhead all lent to the ambiance. There was also a row of seating to the left along the wall with stylish settees which I would have loved to sit at had they not all been occupied.
The wine list had a fair amount of reasonably priced wines by the glass. And the tapas menu was about a page long with a range of options at mid-range to a little pricey. My friend and I shared the Burrata plate, the roasted seasonal veggies, the salmon cakes, and the fig tostata plate. All were delicious but as it can be with tapas sometimes you are left wanting just a bit more food for the price. Overall I loved the food and the ambiance. I will definitely be returning.
