About Lulu's On Main

Lulu's On Main stands out as one of Sylva's most respected New American restaurants, offering a sophisticated yet welcoming dining experience in the heart of downtown. The restaurant skillfully balances upscale cuisine with mountain town charm, making it equally suitable for special occasions or a quality dinner out.

The menu showcases contemporary interpretations of classic dishes, with an emphasis on locally-sourced ingredients when possible. While steaks and fresh seafood are menu highlights, Lulu's sets itself apart by offering thoughtful vegetarian and vegan options that go beyond simple side dishes. The bar program features craft cocktails and a carefully curated wine list that complements the menu.

The dining room combines exposed brick walls with warm lighting, creating an intimate atmosphere that works well for both date nights and small group celebrations. While the ambiance leans upscale, the restaurant maintains a comfortable, unpretentious vibe that's characteristic of Sylva's dining scene.

As one of the area's more refined dining establishments, expect entree prices to reflect the quality of ingredients and preparation, typically ranging into the higher end for the region. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and during peak tourist seasons.

The restaurant's location on Main Street puts it right in the center of Sylva's historic downtown district, making it an ideal spot to cap off a day of exploring the area or before catching a show at the nearby Sylva theater. Whether you're a local celebrating a milestone or a visitor seeking a memorable meal, Lulu's On Main delivers a dining experience that honors both contemporary cuisine and mountain hospitality.
