Went for brunch to celebrate an 89th birthday. Food was great, service was friendly, attentive, just what you would want. Restaurant was crowded which is always a good sign.

I dined at Lily’s with my family for Sunday brunch. We were very happy with the food and service. Our servers were friendly and attentive. The food was great and came out quickly. I had the avocado toast, which was fresh. We all had dessert which included the gluten free brownie, peanut butter mousse, and crème brûlée. All of them were delicious and we cleared our plates. We will definitely be returning!

Food was delicious. Cocktails were good overall, but some tastier than others. Service was a bit off & on. We had multiple occasions of searching for our waiter to place orders for food, drinks and dessert (we actually opted not to order dessert because our server never returned to the table). However, we had other staff continually check on us, refill water and remove our finished plates. So, most staff was attentive and all were friendly - but service was spotty at times. Might return again. Really liked the atmosphere and loved all our dishes we ordered.
