Hadn't been to Lilly's in a while, but glad I went back. Very attentive service and terrific French food. Makes you miss Paris. The Terrine de Canard is one of my favorites and comes in a generous portion. My date loves duck and she shared it with me. I had the Moules Mariniere reminding me of St. Tropez in the summer. Can't wait to go back to try the many other dishes from which to choose.

Just an average meal. Lamb chop was drenched in brown gravy. Beautiful chops but mediocre gravy. Too bad - ruined the meal.

I always enjoy the food and ambiance at Lilly's. French bistro worthy for sure. I am not sure what happened to the service last time I was here, I believe they may have been short staffed because the waitress literally disappeared. First time I've experienced that so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. I recommend Lilly's.

The ambiance was very good and we liked the decor, but the noise level was quite annoying. There weren't very many patrons; it was the staff that was loud. They talked very loudly amongst themselves and clanged dishes/glasses/silverware constantly. The waiter we had was very pleasant, but the waitress was not. When she brought the bill, she tossed it on the table and said with a sour disposition, 'Thanx for coming. Have a good day.' The service was extremely slow. It took two hours for Sunday Brunch for 2. Being owned (??) and run by a French staff, we should have expected it, though. The food was very, very good, but not something we would crave to go back for. We'd like to try it for dinner before writing it off as a place to go back to.

Disappointing. We were seated on the "patio" with a very limited number of space heaters, and soon after we sat down, our "assigned " heater was (over our objections) moved away to another table. Food was unimaginative and flavor-less. Service was inattentive, to say the least.

The bistro was nearly great but not quite. It did not have an authentic feel to it, but it was casual and friendly nonetheless. The food was good but not amazing. The most disappointing features were a lousy wine list and the bread considering it was a French restaurant. I would gladly go again if I were in the area but would not make a special trip to go there. It was very reasonably priced though.

Usually really great. Just didn't quite meet expectations this night. Service was slow and drinks often empty. Too many people for the number of servers scheduled.

What happened to our favorite local restaurant? We've been frequenting it since it opened and were even fans if the carribean place before that. Lately we are there only every 6 weeks or so and are seeing a down turn. Last march 13 my husband chose it for his birthday and my young daughter eagerly made the reservation. We were the first to arrive at 6:00. The service was robotic. Where are all the friendly people who used to serve us. My fish special came out cold and my side of fries did not arrive until desert. I was hoping to eat these items together as a meal. The fish felt like that old warning:"never order the special, it's what the chef is trying to get rid of."
