    Lillies Italian near zoo 5/31/2025 Nice little place and outdoor - Service is very slow and not so synchronized - One young girl server was chewing gum with opened mouth while talking to customers and serving - certainly not very elegant nor professional 👎 the pieces of chicken were dried . The tiramisu has nothing to do like the same made original in Italy because it is not made by an Italian cook the idea is there but NOT the taste - which shows that nobody is Italian in the kitchen 🤔 - had pasta penne - but really can’t say if it was house made 🤷‍♀️
    LiLLiES Italian Restaurant & BarResponded on June 9, 2025
    Dear Maryann, Thank you for your feedback. We regret the service and food didn’t meet expectations and have shared your comments with our team. However, we respectfully note that judging food quality based on the chef’s ethnicity undermines the skill and dedication of our diverse culinary team. At Lillies, we believe great food comes from passion and expertise — not background.

    I visited on a warm Saturday around noon, and as expected, parking was a challenge. I was also in a bit of a rush due to another appointment, but I really appreciated the calm ambiance and cozy atmosphere inside. It did get a little busier shortly after I sat down, which may have contributed to a bit of a delay—my drink arrived halfway through my meal. That said, it was delicious and worth the wait. I ordered the lobster ravioli, which was the main reason I chose to come here, and it didn’t disappoint. The portion size was decent, and I thought it was well-prepared. The staff was friendly and apologetic about the delay, which I appreciated.
    LiLLiES Italian Restaurant & BarResponded on April 21, 2025
    Thank you, Wendy, for the thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed the lobster ravioli and our cozy ambiance — and we truly appreciate your patience with the delay. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even smoother experience!
