Walked In at 720 (they close at 9) and after waiting over 5 minutes someone came to greet us, (after three staff seeing and ignoring) We were asked if we had a reservation, we did not (they had maybe 25% of seats filled) so she went back and talked to a server for a minute. (now standing at the door for over ten minutes) we were told the kitchen was closed for the night, keep in mind an hour and a half before close and had just asked if we had a reservation. Extremely bad service and I'm inclined to believe it was because we were a younger couple. Very glad we didn't give our business to them, but instead had a wonderful dinner up the street at Zanca Mexican Restaurant.

​Our first visit to this restaurant was a mixed bag. The food was fantastic and easily the highlight of the meal. The atmosphere, however, was just ok—some simple fixes, like removing the tape from the entryway windows, as well as adding some curtains to help absorb the sound, would make a big difference.
​The service also didn't meet our expectations. Our waitress, Ebonee, was friendly, but seemed to lack experience. She brought our main courses out while we were still eating our appetizers, and we had to hold up our plates for her to set the new ones down. It was a clear sign that a little more training would go a long way.
​Despite the service hiccups, the excellent food guarantees we'll be back. We're hopeful for a better dining experience on our next visit.

Crazy prices for good food. Asked for a pasta with no meat, they removed the meat and didn't add any vegetables or anything to make up the volume of the plate( compared to two others who ordered the same thing). Just lazy. Would've been nice to have some chickpeas or something.

We come to Lily‘s at least once a year with our friends while visiting. We have never been disappointed. The food is delicious and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. We love the changes in the menu and the specials they have with different wine pairings as well. It’s a great place to go to celebrate an occasion or just to go have them an amazing meal.

A local reccomended this Italian restaurant. We got there just before closing, and the owner welcomed us in with genuine warmth. Despite the late hour, he was hands-on and fully involved—checking in on us throughout the meal and making sure everything was perfect.

The food was absolutely amazing. Every dish was rich in flavor, clearly made with love and authentic ingredients.

Out of four of us only one really enjoyed their food unfortunately.Angel hair pasta was like mush, calamari was like rubber. Husband ordered a dirty martini and not sure how but they messed it up. He also ordered an espresso after dinner which came cold and without a pack of sugar or a spoon.
Lavender Margarita’s way over priced at over $24 per drink.
Food and drinks are extremely overpriced for what you get!!!!
Also a pair of sunglasses were left there and when called they were confirmed to be there. Went to pick them up and suddenly they were already claimed (probably by a staff member) Not worth the price or the hassle!

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere set the tone for a memorable dining experience. The menu offered a range of tempting dishes, but it was the appetizers that truly set the bar high. We started with the Baked Brie and Calamari—an absolutely awesome. The Brie was perfectly melted, rich, and creamy, wrapped in a golden pastry . The calamari was lightly battered and crisp, with just the right touch of seasoning—tender, not rubbery, and served with a a lovely dill dip that elevated the dish. But the star of the evening was the lamb. Cooked to perfection, it was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The seasoning brought out the natural richness of the meat, and it was plated beautifully with sides that complemented every bite. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and the overall vibe of the restaurant was warm and inviting. If you’re looking for a place that nails both the small plates and the main course, this one is a must-visit.

Absolutely loved this place! Although they were completely booked, they accommodated us last minute which was sweet. Our server was super sweet, shout out Mariah, and very attentive. Now to the food...sooo soo good! And the portion sizes are insane, especially for the price. The salted caramel cheesecake is an absolute must for dessert. Totally worth 2hr drive to come here and will be back!

A new item on the menu was a lamb sirloin which was done to perfection at medium rare the risotto and mushy peas were a great complement. The staff was friendly and efficient the most enjoyable lamb I have had. In a very long time. Thank you to everyone at Lilly’s.

We've been here a couple of times now. Everything was fantastic the first time. The second time, we were waiting a long time to be served, for our food to come, and to get our bill. Server was friendly, just didn't seem to be in a rush. Redeeming this was the food, which was amazing. Our son and his girlfriend got the gnocchi and loved it. I got the chicken parm which was huge and probably the best I've ever had.
