Lilacexcellent foodThe smoked trout appetizer was wonderful! We enjoyed the lamb sausage and the pork chop main course. We wish we would have known about the special. We would have like to have tried it., so remember to ask about it. They had a nice selection of microbrews to go with dinner. We will be back! The only weakness is that it is one big room, so there is a lot of back ground noise.6/14/2013 12:00:00 AMBeyond OutstandingI have never written review of a dining experience until now. It was not just eating dinner, it was an experience The food burst with flavor with every bite. The service was also divine. Lilac has become our favorite restaurant and we will go back many times.6/9/2013 12:00:00 AMAn eating adventureLilac is clearly a labor of love. Great style. Great Staff. The food is beautiful and really thoughtful. Whatever you do...don't skip dessert.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMNice mealWe had a lovely meal on a Saturday evening at Lilac, beginning with a tasty appetizer of Asparagus, bacon, lemon cream, and poached egg. Entrees were all well executed, and the unusual desserts delicious. Our server was attentive. Nice overall experience.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food and serviceI dined at the Lilac with my mom and sister and we were quite frankly wowed! We were treated to some fabulous food and some equally wonderful service. I had the flank steak which was accompanied by a delectable roasted corn salad Yum. Mom had the roasted chicken which she raved about and my sister had the pork shoulder which was tender and luscious. They both had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert and did not share so it must have been quite wonderful. I had the chocolate cake that was served with a lovely strawberry basil puree and homemade ice cream. The service was attentive and helpful, our waiter was awesome. We will be back very soon.5/22/2013 12:00:00 AMFine dining in BillingsLoved this restaurant. Interesting menu options.

We stumbled upon Lilac in February when we were looking for some interesting for breakfast. Well let me tell you we were blown away with everything. I couldn't wait to get back to billings to try out dinner. I was not disappointed! The small plates are the way to go! We got an excellent selection of terrific food. Prices are very reasonable.

All the staff made our party even that much more special! Thank you for allowing us to have a loud, crazy party at Lilac!5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food, too noisyGreat new little restaurant; wish they'd offer lunch. As is the case with many old high-ceilinged rooms, noise is an issue, which would cause me to not frequent.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing food but noisyThis was our third time at Lilac and as usual the food was outstanding, definitely the best in Billings. But to say the noise level was "energetic" is an understatement. There was one woman in particular who was stupidly loud. When that party left the noise level dropped quite a bit. Maybe next time we will trying eating late instead of early. The food is not be missed but be warned about the volume.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMLilac is always awesome. TheLilac is always awesome.

Walkers is good but way too expensive. Lilac gives fair portions for fair prices, and the food never disappoints. We go here as often as possible.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat service, food preparedGreat service, food prepared w/care and imagination, innovative desserts, all around good find. One of Billings FEW good spots for dinner.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMBravo!We decided on Lilac last minute. We had a friend in town who is a new business owner out of Boise, Idaho and after some beer tasting we wanted to eat at a place we had never been to before. We had the cheese plate and caesar salads (the croutons gave the ok salad a nice punch) as appetizers and the three of us had entrees that we all loved. I had the risotto and it was fabulous! The other two in the party had the pork and beef dishes and I tried both of them and they were just as outstanding! One of the best parts was the dessert we shared at the end. The chocolate mousse with a popcorn sauce and marshmallow addition that topped it all off. It was one of the best and most unique desserts I've ever had! Bravo!3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMOur first visit and what aOur first visit and what a find in Billings.Finally a restaurant with an enovative menu and food that is prepared fresh.We will return soon.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMIt is probably one of theIt is probably one of the finest meals i have experienced in billlings .
