Something kinda special about spending a day at The Hammer Museum — free admission, inspiring exhibits, and (rare for LA) $8 parking with validation for the first three hours. It already sets the tone for a day that feels easy and unhurried. After wandering through the galleries, we decided to end the evening with dinner nearby — and it was such a great end to our day/evening.
We happen to know the talented sous chef, shoutout to Ricky, whose recommendations made the night feel extra personal. The menu had a reasonably priced tasting option, but we went rogue — trusting Ricky’s insight and following a few cravings of our own.
Dinner began with the egg with roe starter, a delicate and savory opening, followed by a Caesar salad that deserves its own applause — crisp, cold lettuce and a dressing that hit every note of balance and brightness. The rockfish collar w/yuzu aioli was another standout: perfectly cooked, not overly fried, and paired with a sauce that tied everything together without overpowering the fish.
I’d been craving steak, so we ordered the wagyu, which was everything I wanted — tender, marbled in all the right ways, and paired with crispy smashed potatoes. But my favorite of the mains was the orecchiette with broccolini — a comforting, beautifully seasoned pasta dish where the sauce and texture just clicked.
We ended on a sweet note with a few desserts, though the real star was the raspberry and fig leaf sorbet — bright, fragrant, and refreshing enough to make you pause mid-bite just to appreciate it. I’m not a sorbet girl usually either.
The cocktails were well-made and complemented the meal perfectly, but what really made the night memorable was the warmth of the staff. The host and our waitress were so kind and attentive — it had that “regulars come here often” kind of feel that makes a place instantly inviting.
All in all, it was the kind of dinner that reminds you how great a simple night in LA can be — art, good conversation, and food made with care. Can’t wait to come back and see what Ricky and the kitchen come up with next season.

This is my second time here. We arrived on a Tuesday and it turns out they have jazz from 6-9- that was nice. But we waited way too long for someone to even acknowledge us as we waited for a host to seat us. That was weird. After we were all finally seated, the service was good and the food was great. The dessert menu could be better. I would come back.

This is a lovely, gourmet restaurant inside the Hammer Museum courtyard with a farm-to-table vibe, creative food presentation, and a creative chef. The menu is small and expensive, but the food is delectable if you do not have food allergies. For people like myself who are allergic to gluten though, you will find it hard to satiate yourself here. They do not have an option to add protein to the salads, so my only meal options were a meatless omelette or a fish dish. I chose the omelette and it was nice, but runny. I cannot eat undercooked eggs since I have immunodeficiency, so I had to request it be cooked more. When they brought it back it was still very runny but I felt bad so decided to risk it.
They do have an incredible gluten-free chocolate cake that was delicious! I was thrilled with it. My husband had the prix fixe lunch, which he enjoyed every bite of.
Our server was great and definitely made us feel taken care of. Note: there is an 18% gratuity built into each check already, so keep this in mind when calculating your tip.
For dairy-free coffees, they only offer oatmilk, which is also inconvenient for people with celiac since most of us also cannot eat oats.
We highly recommend the french sparkling wine by the glass!
We will definitely return in the future, but I just may eat beforehand.

Enjoyed another exceptional lunch today at what has truly become our “Favorite Restaurant in Los Angeles” — LULU at the Hammer Museum in Westwood. Each visit offers fresh culinary surprises, with the best seasonal ingredients thoughtfully combined and beautifully prepared.
Lunch began with the creamy Bufala Mozzarella served alongside a wonderful, sliced grape salad featuring uniquely flavorful grapes, a touch of balsamic, and warm, fragrant slices of focaccia. The Bucatini pasta was outstanding, paired with tender pieces of Santa Barbara Spiny Lobster, tomato, and basil. The Gem Salad, accented with Parmesan, crispy croutons, and a remarkable anchovy dressing, was great, complemented by Clark Street Country Bread and cultured butter.
Dessert was definitely a highlight: the Strawberry Rose Meringue, a delightful combination of crunchy meringue, soft sweet strawberries, whipped cream, and a small scoop of gelato. With so many tempting à la carte offerings, we’re already looking forward to exploring more on future visits.
Despite the chilly weather today, the outdoor heaters kept everyone perfectly comfortable, and the service was excellent and warmly attentive. After lunch, it was fun to stroll through the “Made in L.A.” and other exhibits at the adjacent museum.
LULU continues to be a highly recommended dining destination—consistently superb in every way. Be sure to check it out!
We had an amazing dining experience at Lulu LA, located inside the courtyard in the beautiful Hammer Museum area in Westwood Village. This is truly a must-visit destination for anyone who appreciates seasonal, thoughtfully prepared and very flavorful cuisine in a serene and artful setting.
The atmosphere is attractive and inviting, with sustainable design elements, comfortable booths, and a spacious al fresco area. They have a price fixe and an ala carte menu with lots of options for vegetarians. Lots of healthy choices all in all!
The food was simply exceptional. We loved the Santa Barbara Rockfish with aioli, salsa verde and green beans, flavorful tuna meatballs, and crispy, satisfying Chicken Milanese with eggplant caponata, fabulous Italian peppers and provolone. We all shared warm, crusty bread and butter. For dessert, we shared the stone fruit fresh peach crumble and a rich chocolate pavé with Chantilly cream–both incredible.
Lulu’s menu changes frequently, inspired by what’s in season and available from local farmers and dedicated fishermen. This commitment to fresh, sustainably sourced ingredients shines through in every bite, with flavors that are vibrant, dynamic, and very delicious.
Our server, Charles, was helpful, attentive, and guided us through the offerings with care. He made great recommendations that we followed and appreciated.
Lulu is more than just a restaurant–it’s a very special celebration of California’s bounty. Beautifully prepared food in a museum setting. Don’t miss it.

TL;DR: Great food, lukewarm service.
The food at LULU really is lovely: fresh, seasonal, and thoughtfully prepared, just what you’d expect from Alice Waters and chef David Tanis. Unfortunately, the service drags the whole experience down. The host (an older white man with a large belly) had all the warmth of a wet blanket, moving with the energy of someone wading through molasses. Honestly, he felt much better suited for a desk job in the back than greeting guests, as he had no welcoming vibe.
The servers didn’t help much either. When we asked about ingredients or preparation, no one seemed to really know the answers. For a place that puts so much care into the food, it is disappointing that the front of house does not seem to share the same knowledge or enthusiasm. The vibe ended up feeling indifferent at best, and at worst, unwelcoming to anyone outside their usual (older, white) crowd.
It is a stark contrast to the surrounding Hammer Museum, where the staff are warm, inclusive, and genuinely helpful. Overall, despite the delicious food, I would not come back because of the service. It is a shame and frankly embarrassing for the chefs and back-of-house team who are working so hard to put out such great dishes.

The service was great. Really like the solid wood table tops, nice touch. Outdoor heaters were ample enough to keep you warm while you dined outside. The food on the other hand is nothing to gush over. It feels overpriced. The mocktail was flat. I ordered a salad, some olives, raw salmon, a brownie with some whipped cream, and of course the mocktail. The brownie was called a chocolate pave but it really just looked and tasted like a dry brownie. The olives cost 8 dollars. This ran me up to about 97 dollars with tip included.

Very positive delight. Peaceful setting in courtyard for an outstanding meal with fresh fresh produce. Figs in salad set a high bar. Sea bass was perfectly prepared. Chris our waiter was terrific. Excellent wine suggestion and sequencing of food, ending with outstanding French toast with preaches.

Went after going to the Hammer Museum. The People at the front were oddly confused but beyond that, was able to sit and had a great meal. I absolutely recommend

This farm to table establishment by Alice Waters is everything one could wish for! The daily seasonal menu really reflects on the restaurant’s mission on providing the guests with the highest quality ingredients and refined cooking. Went for the pre fixe dinner menu and I am genuinely amazed by it! The appetizer citrus salad offers the ultimate freshness and wonderful texture. The lobster curry entrée has so much depth of flavor and richness. Dessert is a piece of very fluffy yet not too sweet pistachio cake that made to perfection. An overall super pleasant dining
experience!

It’s a rare day when I give a restaurant 5 stars but Lulu earned it today. The brunch was delicious. It was buffet style with an abundance of variety. Everything was fresh and healthy and you could have breakfast or lunch foods with seafood, crepes, desert and just about anything else (except oysters). The service was friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was very festive with lots of dressed up and good looking people celebrating their bdays. There was a live DJ and he put the experience over the top for me. He played great music and all that was missing was a dance floor!
Ambiance was very nice. At one point, they came around and gave every woman a rose.
The meal was very expensive. Almost $200 for me and my daughter (without alcohol!). The water alone was $8.
We had a great time.
