Lulu Wilson is a tasty new eatery in an old mining cabin from the Wild Fig folks
Samantha and Craig Cordts Pearce, owners of the popular Wild Fig, have been getting a lot of attention with their sweet Lulu Wilson, an eatery that’s mostly contemporary American with a little bit of French thrown in for fun. Created by chef Shane Coffey, the menu emphasizes local, seasonal ingredients and features such intriguing combinations as strawberry and mizuna salad with ricotta and fried capers and pan-fried soft-shell crab with spicy pickled cabbage and apricot sauce. The dining room, set in a restored Victorian-era mining cabin, is also named after a past resident of the gold-rush- era mining shack. Lulu Wilson, 316 E. Hopkins Ave., 970-920-1893
