The ornate wooden carvings and antiquities you’ll find at Lillie’s were procured from a ballroom in an 1800′s estate in Northern Ireland. The establishment combines an authentic ostentatious decor with a down-to-earth, mellow ambiance, that represents one of the last great Victorian “gin palaces” that once flourished in the industrial cities of Northern Ireland and England. We serve an eclectic yet traditional menu and an impressive range of over fifty domestic and imported beers, as well as a fine selection of whiskeys, scotches, and wines. The antique marble bar and furnishings, the likes of which have not been seen in many years, were acquired from a Victorian mansion in Belfast, Ireland.
Easygoing spot offering classic pub grub & a full bar in a whimsical setting with Victorian details.

Edited slightly. The more I reflect on this experience, the more disappointed I am in the poor value for the price. I’ve done many afternoon teas in many cities, and this is unquestionably the worst experience I’ve had so far.
Went for afternoon tea here and it was a bit of a mixed bag. I really enjoyed the scones and extra-thick clotted cream. Tea for two people should have two of everything – four macarons in four flavors means sharing them all or missing out on two flavors. The tea sandwiches were lackluster – I didn’t care for the chopped celery in the egg salad personally, and the cucumber sandwiches were very soggy. (This is why cucumber sandwiches are usually made with cold butter – to protect the bread from moisture). The fresh fruit was delicious but baffling; blueberries and grapes are best enjoyed with the fingers, however they had been needlessly dusted with powdered sugar. The tea on offer was nice, but weak as they only provided a single tea bag per pot and the water wasn’t as hot as should be for brewing a black tea. Lastly, I can excuse sugar packets, but plastic stir straws instead of teaspoons just feels wrong.
The high-top seating was very difficult for my 4’10” self to climb up into. That said, service was very attentive and the space was charming.

(This review is from a dining experience in Nov ’25.)
Had a work dinner at this location, and everything was very unique and engaging.
Food was very good, and the lingering decor from Halloween was very extensive, well done, and interesting to look at.
Service was pretty good, given the fact that this night the location was packed full of people. They took good care of our large party.
Understand that this is a popular restaurant in NYC, so it’s going to be packed with people at most dining times, tight maneuvering, and loud.
It’s a unique dining experience in a city full of them, and if you can book a table here I would highly recommend it.

The interior is mostly high-top seating, so there isn’t much difference in comfort, and everything feels cozy. The table seating areas look especially comfortable for larger parties of four or five.
We ordered Prosecco, Pinot Grigio, and although our original plan was brunch, we decided on a cheese and charcuterie board instead. It was delicious. The cheese portions were generous, well-sized, and fairly priced. The grapes were very fresh, the jam was excellent, and the cured meats were well selected. Everything was beautifully presented.
Beyond the Victorian style, there’s an abundance of floral decor that adds to the charm. It does get busy, so I definitely recommend making a reservation at least one day in advance. Two or three days ahead would be even better.
I would absolutely recommend it for a morning date or a relaxed outing with a friend.

Had an excellent time at Lillie’s before seeing Book of Mormon. Literally right across the street from the theater. This extended our time here so we could have a long relaxing dinner.
We started off with some drinks which were yummy! We also had the calamari for an appetizer. I was a little perplexed about why they would put pickled onions with calamari but I couldn’t get enough of this combo once I started eating them.
Then we had the chicken pot pie and the buttermilk chicken sandwich with the truffles fries. All of this with no disappointments.
We did sit at the bar bc we did not make a reservation. So, if that’s not your thing I would highly recommend making one. We were there on a Thursday at 5 and there was plenty of room at the bar, but by about 545. You could not get a seat. Plan ahead.
The winter and Valentine’s Day decor combo was spot on.
Been to the other location in October and Lillies never seems to disappoint with their decor.
Almost forgot to add our servers were super attentive. They did not hover but they were available enough to make our 2 hour bar visit and absolute pleasure.

Came here with the family for a pre-theatre lunch. We originally planned to enjoy the beautiful floral decor, but as luck would have it, they’d just switched over to Halloween that week — in September!
Theme-heavy spots near Times Square can be hit or miss, so expectations were modest. The place was pretty full (long and narrow layout), but thankfully we had a reservation and were seated right away. While the decorations were over-the-top — the “kitsch index” was high — the sheer volume of Halloween props covering every inch of the high ceilings actually made this die-hard New Yorker begrudgingly appreciate it. At least they commit.
Most importantly, the food was actually good — surprisingly good. My Cobb salad was huge and fresh (oddly, it listed avocado as an extra add-on, but mine came with it anyway). The burrata disappeared in seconds, the burger was juicy with crisp potatoes and greens, and the croque madame came topped with a perfectly runny, “sexy” sunny-side-up egg. Everything was delicious, and we cleared our plates in record time to make our show.
Service was attentive, with staff constantly circulating and easy to flag down. We’ll definitely be back once the flowers bloom again — next time, without the Halloween pumpkins watching us eat.

Came in for brunch; atmosphere was absolutely stunning. Luckily we didn’t need a reservation and got sat before the rush. All the food was delicious. Mimosa was so fresh and light! Highly recommend

I came here for dinner Dec 18 and It was my first time eating and visiting Lillies and I’ll just say I was blown away by the holiday decor and the atmosphere. Just simply amazing. But the cherry on the top was the delicious food and awesome service by Jaime. He made sure we were taken care of and went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience. I highly recommend having dinner here and see if you can ask for Jaime to be your server, you won’t be disappointed! Awesome decor, awesome server, awesome food! 10/10.

The vibes here are incredible!! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The decorations for Halloween are unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I felt like I could hang out there all day and still not get to see every piece of decor in detail. Every inch of the restaurant was covered!! We loved our drinks, they were festive themed and really tasty. The Mac & cheese bites were nothing special (they needed salt + a dipping sauce), and my friend’s burger was just okay (also needed a sauce!). My pot pie was delicious, but a little more room temp than I expected. We plan to go back when they decorate for Christmas! But possibly only for drinks, given our overall food experience wasn’t the greatest but the themed vibes and drinks totally make up for lackluster food. I’ve dined at the Lillie’s in Union Square before and the food was better at that location. This is in Times Square, which might mean it’s much busier and the food isn’t the top priority. But def loved the decor and drinks and it is a total vibes for the holidays!!

I visited Lillie’s Victorian in early January and was happy to see that the Christmas decorations were still up. The restaurant is beautifully decorated during the holidays, with so much detail everywhere you look. We were told it takes the staff a full two weeks just to put all the decorations up, and it shows. Honestly, the décor alone made the experience and is the main reason I would recommend visiting, especially during the Christmas season.
I chose this restaurant specifically because we wanted to do afternoon tea. The overall afternoon tea experience was fine, but nothing spectacular, especially considering the price point of about $60 per person. I do wish the spread included a bit more food. The finger sandwiches were not great, but we really enjoyed the scones and even ordered a second one. We ordered both the Earl Grey and chai tea, and the chai was my favorite.
We had a 12:00 p.m. reservation and arrived about 30 minutes early but were seated right away. The restaurant filled up quickly around noon, so reservations are definitely a good idea. We were informed there is a 90-minute seating limit, which is something to keep in mind if you’re planning to linger.
There were a few downsides, the booth seats were pretty stained, and the teacups and saucers were chipped, though I suppose that added a bit of old-world character. Service was fine overall, though it could have been a little more friendly and attentive.
All in all, it was a good experience, and I would recommend visiting mainly during the Christmas season to enjoy the beautiful decorations.

Excellent place for late night meals, especially after the theater lets out. They were able 2 accommodate without a reservation. The fish and chips were good. The hummus plate was just okay, the bread was a bit old. The drinks were good and the atmosphere was excellent as they decorate for the Christmas season. Hostess and our server, Matthew were good.
Women’s bathroom was not pleasant.
