    When I don’t feel like pizza or pasta, my go-to is often the hake. LUPA has a great way of making a simple dish into a feast. Well-portioned, tasty, and grilled to perfection. My only “criticism” is that when the restaurant is busy it can get quite loud and packed, sometimes making it difficult to have conversations.

    Made a reservation for my wife’s birthday, table for 2. The table was next to the bar split by a small walkway where all the new customers and waiters walk past. The walkway is so narrow that I could not even open up the menu. We asked 2 of the waiters if we could move when another table becomes available, this request was ignored and walk-ins took the table. We wanted to do the special pasta where they serve it table side. This would not have been possible in that narrow walkway. We ordered water, the waiter forgot about it. I finished my beer and left. Lupa needs to decide if they want to be a fast food restaurant by squeezing in too much people or a proper restaurant. It’s noisy and crowded. Its like dine and dash in 30minutes, not what I imagined for my wife's birthday. Went to hazzar grill, much better.
