Reviews
I hope this message finds you well. As my family and I made our journey home, we decided to take a delightful detour to a charming little eatery that our daughter recommended upon, where we had the pleasure of catching up with her. The establishment, known as Lillies, turned out to be a wonderful venue for our lunch reunion. Tucked away in a cozy corner but with a street view, this restaurant feels like an undiscovered treasure, showcasing exceptional service and cuisine. It also offers outdoor seating. From the moment we walked in, the inviting ambiance wrapped around us, making it a perfect backdrop for an afternoon of laughter and conversation. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping by Lillies for a meal. It’s a place that warms the heart and satisfies the palate, making it an ideal spot for cherished moments with loved ones. ❤️
We grabbed a couple of seats at the bar for a quick drink and an appetizer, and left feeling like we discovered a local favorite. We ordered the mozzarella and hummus starters. The mozzarella, made fresh in-house (per the menu), was absolutely on point, it was perfectly cheesy inside with a crisp, golden breading that wasn’t too heavy. The hummus was creamy and flavorful, a solid pairing with the warm pita.
I ordered a Dirty Tito’s Martini and was caught off guard (in a good way!) when it came garnished with jalapeño olives instead of traditional ones, that turned out to be an unexpected twist I didn’t know I needed. Spicy, briny, and totally refreshing.
Service was top-notch. Even though we were just popping in, the bartenders made us feel right at home by checking in often, keeping our waters filled (which we desperately needed after a hot day of walking), and moving with that perfect blend of friendly and efficient.
Definitely a spot I’d recommend if you’re coming from the zoo or just looking for a cozy place to unwind with great bites and warm hospitality. Will absolutely be back to try a full meal next time!
We stopped in here for brunch after visiting the zoo. I chose this place because they really cater to the kids with their panda pancakes. (we had too young kids with us). It was not a disappointment, they were a hit and they were delicious. They were also able to make the panda pancakes with the chocolate chip batter so that was a big plus.
For brunch, the adults had the classic eggs Benedict, Caesar salad with chicken, eggs Benedict Chesapeake (with a crabcake on ) and a chicken Parmesan sandwich. All the food was outstanding. Really tasty. Overall the menu has a lot of great options, at a little higher price point, but I believe it was worth it
Our server (Nbg) was delightful, attentive, and really professional. On top of everything and did a really good job.
Overall, I was extremely pleased with our choice. It was great food, in a really nice environment, with great service. I will be back again.
A waiter came around and asked us if we were ready to order. We got an appetizer (the bruschetta) and two cokes. A little while later we ordered our mains (chicken parm and schnitzel) and some garlic bread.
Both appetizers came out at the same time and were very enjoyable. The bruschetta tasted fresh and complimented the garlic bread well.
My partners schnitzel arrived first and not too soon my parm did too. Food was very good and the servers were very quick and efficient getting us refills.
Thank you to all three of them who helped us. I understand as a server myself that busy patios can be hard to deal with, but they did great. Thank you and we will be back.
London fish n chips were tasty, the date salad was on point (hint: the dressing is very tangy) and the kids chicken tender was yummy. The fried calamari was a bit tender and chewy for my tasting.
Overall the restaurant was clean, including the bathrooms. Well run restaurant!
