"Oenophile Tim Gardner opened Lula Drake in part to showcase his love of wine, and the popular spot continues to offer a geographically diverse list. It also has an extensive selection of beers not available elsewhere in town. Chef Rachael Harrison, taking the lead in the Lula kitchen since 2020, has continued to feature delicious housemade pasta, often in partnership with chef Pierce Bowers (the restaurant’s former chef) who launched Dorsia Pasta in 2021 to devote himself to the art of making pasta. Cacio e pepe is Lula Drake’s signature dish, and specials like sherry shrimp make it to the main menu based on diners’ enthusiasm. Customers appreciate expert advice from the staff, all of whom can recommend a glass for anything on the menu, like the absolutely delicious “KFC,” aka Korean fried chicken." - Anne Wolfe Postic
