   They seem to be out of multiple food options that night, especially desserts. The steak I had was amazing and so was the cheesecake though.

   Incredible food, drinks and service! We had family visiting and wowed them. They can't stop talking about the chocolate chip cookies.

   Great food, great service. My only suggestion is to bring back the famous bolognese lasagna.

   The Lively has great ambiance and service. The food falls just short. The tenderloin was a little salty and overdone. Medium not medium rare. The bolognese was under seasoned and a little bland. The cocktails were good. With so many great new restaurants probably won’t go back.

   This was our first visit to The Lively. What a truly incredible experience. From the moment we walked in until the final bite of dessert, everything was exquisite. Delicious food, wonderful service, delightful atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

   Love the venue! Very calming and elegant inside. Staff was amazing! Our waitress ….Mindy …(I believe) was phenomenal! I got the yellowtail appetizer. Although it was a beautiful presentation….i thought it was too sweet. Would have loved a bit of a kick. We ordered the raviolo to share pre dinner but neither of us liked it much. My friend got the chicken. She loved it. I got the bolognese. It fell short to me. Waitress was very kind and swapped out my dinner for the chicken. ALL OF THE FOOD PRESENTATION WAS BEAUTIFUL! Dessert was definitely the best! I got the coffee and donuts. Both were great….but the donuts reminded me of my mom’s homemade donuts! I could have finished by sharing 4-6 of those only OR JUST 4 donuts and a real coffee. The “coffee” part of the donut desert was yummy but too much for one person! I highly suggest sharing!!!! Overall a great experience! Again ….the staff was fantastic!!!!! Thanks for a wonderful evening. Looking forward to returning for an afternoon tea!!!!

   The tea experience was phenomenol. They had caffeine and decafe choices and the small signature tea pieces were delicious and very filling. We enjoyed our time and server.
