   The live music is much too loud. It's hard to have a conversation because of the high noise level.

   We asked for a table inside and we were seated directly in front of the band. The live music was great for the ambiance but was way too loud. There was no way we could even have a conversation. The hostess, who was lovely, moved us outside. We could tell they were a little short staffed and it took us a while to get going. The food was good but overall we just felt like our money would be better spent elsewhere. Drinks were sub par. We ordered 3 dirty martinis and none were good. 2 had no olive juice and the olives in the drink were mush. The third was fine. But all 3 had different levels of liquid in the glass so 2 of us felt shortchanged with our drinks.

   The service was very very slow at the beginning. Our server came and said hello to us 10 minutes after we sat down and then he disappears for half an hour till we had to complain to other servers to get hm. Food was good but not a lot of variety. I won’t be going back there again.

   Some food items weren’t great (mussels, french onion soup) and others were delicious (lobster tortellini, ceviche, steak frites, sour dough baguette.) Our servers were wonderful. The live music was beautiful…gave me a nostalgic New Orleans feel. We will be back.

   The service- The hostess, Lucero, was INCREDIBLE. She accommodated my large party at the last minute with some tricky accommodations and made it work for us. She was so patient, kind, and went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable. Service was fantastic all around. Our waiter was AMAZING, so sad I didn’t get his name. The food- beautifully plated and delicious. Worth it! I got a smoked salmon eggs benedict and it was incredible. There’s a reason why Eater LA has amazing things to say about this place. Ambiance— really beautiful and luxurious. Exquisite traditional interior design with lots of vintage pieces. Vaulted ceilings. Lots of areas to lounge.

    Our celebratory New Year's Eve dinner at Lillie's was excellent. The food was delicious and beautiful. The wine pairings were well-chosen, although the amount of each glass was scant. The ambience was lovely.

    The old Hollywood ambiance and live music was great. The food selection, however, was limited and poor. There is nothing on the menu that you’d want to go back for anytime soon.

    The ambiance of the Culver Hotel was wonderful. We went at Christmas time and there was a beautifully decorated tree and other festive decor. We were there for dinner at 6:30 pm and the jazz band started playing at 7:00 pm. The music was a nice touch except it was so loud we had a hard time hearing each other at our table. There is a limited menu which was mediocre and overpriced. My family and I have dined here before but we were disappointed with our latest experience,

    The Culver Hotel was beautiful and elegant. Lillie's restaurant needs help. The food was average. The shocking part of our experience was the wait staff who brought food from the kitchen to the table. Most of the food is served family style, which is ok with me. However, we had to ASK for a serving spoon in the communal dishes. In the age of the pandemic (on top of RSV and influenza this winter), I was stunned that a restaurant wouldn't include serving spoons in dishes for the table. Isn't this a public health issue?

    I had been meaning to come to Lillie's and the holidays turned out to be the perfect time. The decorations were beautiful and the jazz band was very good and not too loud. I think you should have valet parking. The Public parking is very difficult to understand. There was a man on site to be helpful, but he was actually rather condescending, telling me to go to the second level despite a big sign that said, "for monthlies only." When I asked about that, he said, "I work here every day." It wasn't a good experience and it adds enough 15 minutes to the trip time from home.

    We picked Lillie’s to celebrate my hubby’s birthday with another couple. This is our favorite place for a special occasion. They had a duo (singer and guitarist) that had the best playlist and the holiday ambience was like a hallmark movie! The service was perfect, the food and cocktails were stellar! So glad they’re fully open again!

    I can't imagine the place is run by professionals. Tables are crowded together. We arrived 5 minutes before our 7:00 reservation which I had confirmed by phone at 6:00. We were told that they had no idea when we would be seated but likely within 45 minutes. Stated that "Things were just a bit out of hand" and that despite our reservation for 2 weeks and the confirmation they used our table for a party of 6. The room is as loud as a concert. The jazz is fine but at an entirely inappropriate level for a restraint. The seating team was running around with no clear concept their job. when finally seated we waited 20 minutes for a server to come for drink orders. We then waited 25 minutes for drinks and starters. Dinner arrived 35 minutes after the starters and only 3 of the 4 were correct. It took them 30 more minutes to correct the mistake (broiled salmon) which was delivered after the other 3 of us had finished. The food was good. The place is run without any level of professionalism. Perhaps there strength is takeout ..... As for recommending to a friend ... NO as for recommending to a stranger .... NO .... Couldn't live with myself ever mentioning the name.

    Good service, food was good. Bread was very nice with French butter. Oysters, French onion soup for appetizers were both good. Entrees we’re tagliatelle was like 7.5 out of ten. Steak was solid 8 out of 10 with nice sauce. They gave us a a free desert for our anniversary. Over all very pleasant. We will return

    Overall had a good time and the food was well done. The atmosphere is really energetic with the live music and the servers were very polite. My only complaint was the entrance greeter was pretty rude upon entering and tried to immediately turn us away even though we had booked a reservation well in advance. After this issue was resolved the rest of the night went well

    The food was solid but the dessert (coffee creamer brûlée) and cocktails were some of the best in Culver. The ambiance was wonderful with live jazz back into swing and the halls all decked for Christmas. There was enough music and chatter to enjoy the fullness of a room but with enough cozy pockets to maintain intimacy and easily converse with my dinner party. The service provided by all staff was good (hostess, buzzers), but our waiter—Jimmy?—was truly exceptional! He was attentive, sweet, and really made us feel cared for.

    It was a horrible Thanksgiving experience. We had a reservation for 6pm. We arrived at 5:45. They sat us at 6:20pm, only after complaining twice. What is the sense of making a reservation then? If you make us guarantee the reservation with a credit card with a cancellation fee, then please guarantee us a table. Worse, we sat at the bar area but bar did not even serve us drinks because the bar only accepted cash payment! After being sat, we had to wait for EACH course for 30-40 minutes, including the drinks and bread basket! Food was good though but cold. They give you free ice cream for dessert after they starve you and make you wait. Ambiance was great but so not worth it.

    The food servers were ill equipped to handle the Thanksgiving diners. The most basic tenets of serving were not observed, such as checking in on a regular basis, bringing fresh cutlery between courses, clearing plates, and insuring there was wine during the meal.

    We have been longtime fans of the Culver, and decided to give the newest vendor a shot for Thanksgiving. The food was good, some of the turkey was a bit dried out (the dark meat, which was odd) but overall we enjoyed each dish. The sides were served "family style" and I don't know how they determined how much was enough for a group of 3 versus 5 - but none of us took very much, and we still had someone that didn't get any mashed potatoes. We asked for more, and we were told that it would only come with an additional charge. If we had asked for something expensive, or we were asking for a second serving, I would understand it, but one person in our group didn't even get any, and clearly from our plates you could see everyone else had maybe a spoonful each. The refusal to adjust the serving amount instantly put a damper on the evening, and that stingy detail is what I will remember most about our meal. Not the best interaction.

    We came for the Thanksgiving event dinner. Four of us ate inside in the beautiful main room area. The rolls, kale salad starter and soup were excellent. From there things did not live up to expectations. Three of us had the turkey which was cold by the time it was served up. The mashed potatoes had good flavor, but the tiny portions of bland gravy did nothing to enhance the meal. Enjoyed the Brussel sprouts, but the curried carrots did not blend well with the rest. The service was extremely lacking and slow. Our reservation said they would limit our time at the table to 90 minutes, but it was all we could do to finish in 3.5 hours. It was ages before they cleared the table and brought dessert. The group at the table next to us waited about 45 minutes to get their main course. Don't understand why. There were plenty of staff on site. What a shame that a prix fixe meal could not be served efficiently.

    Great atmosphere with live jazz band. Very comfortable and pleasant. Overpriced pasta plates with warm draft beer and poor service. Our server disappeared for 45 minutes but was still attending to other guests. Not a huge deal but if you’re someone that eats out often, expectations for quality of service are high, Lillie’s could be much better. Overall, would give them another shot.
