    We went to a couple of Christmas pop-ups, but Lillies was by far the best! First, the place looked amazing, so decked out with beautiful Christmas decorations. The drinks were so tasty and lots of unique themed to choose from. We also got a couple of appetizers that were delicious. Lastly the staff was wonderful. It was a great experience. Reservations are recommended. We did have a wait since it was packed, but we hawked a couple of barseats. Would definitely come back.

    Eating at Lillie’s @ Union Square was my most favorite part of our NYC at Christmas family trip! The food was amazing, the decorations- OMG- gotta see it to believe it- pictures don’t do it justice. We had a cocktail with habanero tequila that was unreal! Worth a trip to NYC just to eat here at Christmas! A definite must!

    Great Christmas restaurant the atmosphere was great. The food was fine, but the decorations made up for it. The French fries were very good.

  • Review 4 (2024-09-29 - Rating: 5)

    This place is gorgeous. The food and drinks were made to perfection. The staff were marvelous and attentive. Highly recommended.

  • Review 5 (2024-04-08 - Rating: 5)

    Without a doubt, the café boasts an intriguing interior. We visited when it was adorned with white bears in a winter theme. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Cocktails were also artfully crafted. There were few people, as we visited on a Sunday. We were highly satisfied with the service.

  • Review 6 (2024-05-05 - Rating: 5)

    Really enjoyed a relaxed dinner here, book a table ahead of time. The ambience is fancy and comforting. We shared the salmon tartare appetizer, steak & fries, and pistachio tartufo. For drinks, I loved the Lillian Bland which was fruity, sweet and beautiful.

  • Review 7 (2024-06-09 - Rating: 5)

    Delicious, does not cover the quality of the food and mixed drinks. Its awesome! Chicken pot pie is gourmet quality. Try a cocktail, worth it. Great vibe and atmosphere.

  • Review 8 (2024-12-08 - Rating: 5)

    December 2024: Highly recommend if you like being surrounded by floor to ceiling Christmas decorations, 60’s & 70’s music and don’t mind tight spaces with lots of tables. We enjoyed the experience at the Times Square area Lillian’s. We had a friendly and efficient waitress—very much enjoyed the chicken pot pie, hamburger and French fries. Beautiful decorations! Be sure to see the back of the restaurant’s Christmas displays, too!

  • Review 9 (2023-10-23 - Rating: 5)

    The food was fine, the service was good, but the atmosphere?! 11/10!! We ordered the tea time for 2, and it was a pretty spread and everything tasted fine, but if we are honest we came for the decor. And boy does this place know how to decorate for Halloween! There were so many details it was hard to look away. It was so, so fun! If youre looking for a fun, Halloweeny place to eat, youve found it!

  • Review 10 (2024-12-02 - Rating: 5)

    This place is a must see Im talking about Christmas wall to wall Christmas music The staff theyre so nice The food was even good Great place to take your family to

  • Review 11 (2023-05-15 - Rating: 5)

    Food, drinks and decor were absolutely amazing. The waitress could have been more attentive but I wont let that take away from the overall experience. It felt very magical and whimsical. Enjoyed my mothers day brunch.

  • Review 12 (2023-11-19 - Rating: 5)

    Very nicely decorated, a great atmosphere. The food and drinks were good! It was a bit busy and our server would take a bit long to come back and check on us. Other then that this is a great place to go to

  • Review 13 (2023-12-31 - Rating: 4)

    Are you in the city for the holidays and looking for a place to take pretty pictures while you dine and drink? Well, look no further!Starting from their victorian decor, to the over-the-board holiday decorations; everything was perfect. I love what they do to this place during Christmas time in particular since it captures the vibe so well.Food (3.5/5): They dont have that many options for dinner but youll find a pretty good selection of classic western dish like grilled salmon, steak, burgers, chicken, etc. I thought their food wasnt going to be that good but it was actually pretty tasty! You could also go here for afternoon tea or just drinks so your choice!Vibe (5/5): This is obviously why most people go here, look at all those pictures!Definitely worth a visit if youre in town for the holidays but make sure to book ahead!

  • Review 14 (2023-12-07 - Rating: 5)

    Very nice decor for Christmas. Food was also good, but the service from the bartender was slow. Theres a voucher online for brunch, and it seemed no one knew about it. After eating, it took about an hour just to get everything sorted and billed.

  • Review 15 (2024-01-24 - Rating: 5)

    This rating is purely for service, drinks, ambiance and aesthetics. I didn’t have the food, so cannot comment on it.After walking for what felt like hours in extremely cold weather, we came across Lillie’s Victorian Establishment. Finally, we found a kind bouncer who offered us shelter from the cold. As soon as we walked in, it was cozy and warm. The ambiance was chill and aesthetics gave off elegant fun. The bartender took our orders immediately and came back with elegant creations. Truly works of arts. They also tasted as wonderful as they looked. It was hard to not just stare at them because they were beautiful.This is a place you definitely go to for what I call a grown experience! You sit, enjoy a well crafted drink and some good conversation. If this is what you’re looking for, go no further. Will be revising this establishment!

  • Review 16 (2023-08-15 - Rating: 5)

    This place is a must see! The atmosphere is amazing with Alice and wonderland theme everywhere. Wait staff was not attentive but the restaurant was busy when we were there. Food was good, prices not bad and a great overall experience!

  • Review 17 (2024-12-19 - Rating: 5)

    Cool place to have Afternoon Tea or Basic Brunch. The Burger was good. Atmosphere is super cool. Highly recommend making a reservation. The place is a bit small and usually booked unless you want to dine at the bar.

  • Review 18 (2024-12-27 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic restaurant to get you in the Christmas spirit. Decorations are amazing. I would recommend booking in advance to avoid waiting. We arrived an hour early for our reservation but were seated straight away. We had fish and chips, the chicken pie and a burger on our table and everyone was really happy with the food. My daughter was on her 5th consecutive burger in NYC and she said this was the best ! Staff were helpful and pleasant throughout, would recommend.

  • Review 19 (2024-12-09 - Rating: 5)

    A CHRISTMAS EXPLOSION! If you love Christmas and you love New York this is the place for you! Not one spot is free...full of christmas decorations! The vibe is incredible! An experience! Food was good but the atmosphere is what captures your heart!

  • Review 20 (2025-01-02 - Rating: 5)

    Really cute place, went in December and it was beautiful. It’s always packed so I sorted at the bar and it was difficult to get the bartender attention but overall it was fine.

  • Review 21 (2024-03-18 - Rating: 4)

    This place is great for drinks. The food was very average and less options for Vegetarian. Also the decor was cute

  • Review 22 (2023-05-16 - Rating: 4)

    Like a Fairytale! Every time I visit NY, is the stop not to be missed . Wow! Is always lovely. The passion with every detail with the deco theme, the stunning cocktails, the food, and the nice people preparing your cocktails is always the best.

  • Review 23 (2023-07-20 - Rating: 4)

    Service could’ve been better, we had asked for utensils, napkins, refills, continuously. Very friendly but being small setting I’d expect them to be more attentive to those needs. The AC clearly wasn’t working and everyone around us were visibly sweating. We ordered a few appetizers and salad and food was amazing. Everything was cooked perfect and I would come back and recommend to others. We visited during the Alice in wonderland setup which was beautiful. Bar crew were friendly and the manager was very kind. But it was very hot which made us uncomfortable which I hope was resolved soon after our visit.

  • Review 24 (2024-10-30 - Rating: 5)

    Was this worth the hype? Yes! Absolutely, without a doubt! The whole restaurant is decorated from the ground up with Halloween props. The service was one of the best we had. Staff was very nice, friendly and accommodating and the food was delicious! The wagyu burger had a smokey flavor, the buttermilk chicken sandwich was crunchy and tender on the inside and the hummus would make a Lebanese proud. We love how the chickpeas were roasted. If you’re looking for a nice place to eat with a halloween ambience, do not miss out on this! We can’t wait to come back for other seasons to see how it’s decorated.

  • Review 25 (2022-12-20 - Rating: 4)

    The decor is cute and different, with high ceilings and old pictures. The food is also very good! I got the chicken sandwich and it was honestly very crispy and crunchy, which I tend to like. It had a good amount of flavor. I did want more from the cabbage slaw that came with it, as that mostly just tasted like cabbage and mayo. My friends who I was with got the eggs Benedict and they both really enjoyed their dishes.In terms of drinks, their cocktails are very fun, with pretty garnishes and nice touches. Fun obviously comes with a price tag though, so keep that in mind.They did seem kind of understaffed when we went, but the staff did a really good job at making sure we were taken care of, which I appreciated.Overall, this is a very aesthetic spot to grab some food or drinks. We went earlier in the day, but I would recommend this spot for an evening date.

  • Review 26 (2023-06-18 - Rating: 5)

    This was truly a magical place. I will be bringing friends and family here !!! Ahmed was the consummate professional. He was truly and exceptional ambassador for the establishment. Joshua was a gracious host. I loved everything about this place.

    I loved the place, you feel like in a movie set. The food was good and the waiters were super charming. A good experience in general

  • Review 28 (2023-12-13 - Rating: 4)

    We went to Lillies 12/12, it was a Tuesday for late lunch. I took my mom, after a day of shopping The decor is amazing, and a fun spot to stop in during the holidays. We did not have a reservation, I was too late to secure one.There was some confusion to opening. We went to the Union Sqaure location, and Google says 1pm which is true, we walked in at about 1:30pm. We were told to grab a spot at the bar because the tables were reserved for 2pm. Lillies is a bar all the table are hightops. No problem we grabbed a spot and looked at the menu.Here in lies the confusion, we ordered Afternoon Tea which on the menu is available from opening to 5pm. But the kitchen doesnt in fact open until 2pm. The bartenders took our order and didnt seem to know the kitchen wasnt open. They brought over tea a few minutes later. Then came back 10mins later and apologized that the kitchen wasnt open until 2pm. It all worked as we didnt mind waiting for the kitchen to open. Just thought I would send that info out incase someone else is looking to have afternoon tea, wait until around 2pm to head in. The tea afternoon was fun due to the atmosphere not special. The sandwiches were fresh but the pastries and stuff were all clearly made offsite. My mom really enjoyed it. I would go back just for the fun decor.

  • Review 29 (2024-10-18 - Rating: 4)

    Amazing atmosphere, great food and drinks. But the service was really bad. One female waitress was rude and racist, making shameful comments directly to my friend and tried to ‘educate’ us like we are foreigners while we all live around the neighborhood. Very disappointed.

  • Review 30 (2023-09-27 - Rating: 5)

    I read the negative reviews and I’m stunned. My partner and I walked in after a show and we were seated promptly; service, food, and atmosphere were stunning. Couldn’t have asked for a better, more magical evening. Thank you to the staff and designer of this incredibly unique establishment! 👏

  • Review 31 (2024-05-27 - Rating: 5)

    Great spot for weekend brunch! Food and service are wonderful and the decor is amazing.

  • Review 32 (2023-06-30 - Rating: 5)

    Always a good place for beers and the food is a fair price and has good pub staples.The interior changes frequently, this time I guess is the max- hatters tea party and they have gone all out with the decorations and characters

  • Review 33 (2021-06-26 - Rating: 5)

    This place was delicious! The host was also very welcoming and accommodating. I had accidentally booked dinner for the wrong night, luckily they had a table for us and let us come in! Also very inclusive! Outside with their beautiful flowers, they’ve added a pride flag, as well as have it displayed in various parts inside the restaurant! Def going back again.

    Shepherds pie and leisurely in love were to die for. Perfect way to end the work week. Bathroom needs lights. Looks like a dungeon. Everything else is amazing.

  • Review 35 (2024-04-14 - Rating: 5)

    This place is seriously amazing! I saw it online and decided to give it a try with a friend, it definitely lives up the hype. The decor was amazing, there wasn’t one square inch of the place that wasn’t decorated. The food and drinks are a bit pricey, but honestly I thought they were worth the price. The cocktails are great, and look stunning as well. I got the avocado toast and was shocked by how good it was. Service was fast, and everyone was friendly. Great place to grab a bite with friends or family, or even solo!

  • Review 36 (2024-10-13 - Rating: 5)

  • Review 37 (2017-11-24 - Rating: 4)

    We went at night, around 11pm. Still hopping on a Tuesday night. The decor is beautiful and appropriate for the holidays. We ordered the cucumber Collins, and another drink with lime, cranberry juice, and cachaça. The former was really refreshing! The latter was sweet. I felt like my drink was mostly ice though so although I liked it, I wish I had more! The curry fries were amazing and would have been awesome with beer! Definitely order this!

  • Review 38 (2024-11-16 - Rating: 4)

    Very cool vibe. I love the 17th street location. Burgers and drinks are great. The wait staff is cool and attentive. Very different than the midtown location.

  • Review 39 (2024-09-08 - Rating: 4)

    I give 4/5 because they definitely crowd the restaurant with too many small tables. The table next to us ended up moving their chairs to fit their group and my husband and I ended up being shoulder to shoulder with the neighbouring table. Besides this, the service was excellent - busy spot but food didnt take long to come to our table. The food was also pretty good! Probably wont come here again but its a cute place for dinner.

  • Review 47 (2023-05-02 - Rating: 5)

    Lillies Victorian Establishment offers two locations, one in Times Square and one in Union Square. While the Union Square location is usually less crowded, the Times Square location is undeniably more stunning with its elegant decor and high ceilings. Regardless of which location you choose, Lillies is a perfect place to catch up with friends or have a romantic date night. The holiday season is particularly enchanting, with the establishment going all out with its decorations. The only downside is that the drinks can be a bit pricey, but theyre always worth the cost. As an IPA enthusiast, I can say with certainty that the Dogfish IPA is a must-try. Overall, Lillies Victorian Establishment is a neighborhood gem that you dont want to miss out on.

  • Review 48 (2018-08-11 - Rating: 4)

    Went for a baby shower during the Saturday Brunch. Food was absolutely delicious. I got the Sunnyside burger with Fries and a side of Irish Sausage. Environment was absolutely outstanding! Music was quiet enough to have a conversation but enough to effect the environment.The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the circulation in the building is lacking, and on a hot Manhattan day it was a little brutal to be sitting in that stagnant air.

  • Review 49 (2024-01-16 - Rating: 4)

    Super nice bar, great atmosphere and really good beer, wine and cocktail selection. I usually only go for drinks, though the food looks good. It does get quite loud during busy times, which is why I prefer sitting at the bar as talking across a table can be tough.

    I got two chicken sandwiches from the brunch menu and they did not disappoint. Two were about $47 not including tip. Food was served fast as well. My only complaint would have to be that it is a bit cramped. The bar takes up a large portion of this location leaving the tables that are in the back extremely close together.

  • Review 59 (2024-11-02 - Rating: 5)

    These self important businessmen and geriatrics should take the energy they put into describing their ‘subpar’ experience and use it to meditate. I’ll give them some time. Okay, now consider that we’re lucky to exist. Take a deep breath. Your reservation being pushed back an hour is the worst thing that’s going to happen to you all month. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. The staff being unenthused and busy deserved a 1 star? I bet your fully grown 40 year old kids are embarrassed of you

    Great beer selection, decent food. My first choice for beer wasnt available. They could improve their logistics and forecasting. The chicken pot pie was awesome, the sheperads pie was good also but the service was a bit lackluster.

  • Review 62 (2024-03-11 - Rating: 5)

    I was totally delighted. The food was great, the service very tentative and the atmosphere just perfect. The music was a good volume so you can speak with your friends without yelling. We really enjoyed our time at Lillies. We ordered multiple dishes such as fried calamari, chicken nachos, lemon chicken, fish and chips, beef lasagna and steak and all were perfectly cooked. I highly recommend going to Lillies

    UPDATE: Just found out all of the staff we knew and loved so well have left the establishment. sad because the personalities are what made this place a 5.-----------------------------------------------------Original review:When I moved to NYC, I spent my very first evening posted up on the corner of the bar at Lillies with my best friend. We had a great time and loved the place. We went back a week later and the bartender remembered us, so we went back again, and again. It became our weekly spot between our two Boroughs and we love the staff, they are friendly, put the effort in with regulars, and curate amazing playlists. It is a busy place, and pricey cocktails, but its also NYC. Go for Halloween or Christmas and youll love their decorations.

    Had an amazing experience at Lillie’s ! Check out some of the highlights on my Instagram @Tamta.iremashviliThe attention to detail and the elegant Victorian-inspired designs truly transported me to another era. Every piece feels timeless, yet modern, with a perfect balance of sophistication and charm.

    Some of the best Christmas and holiday decorations✨🎄I didn’t have a chance to stop for food yet but i will soon.

    Love it here, it is a fest for the senses.Good food, unique drink menu excellent service.My one peeve is that if you go for brunch they basically rush you out in about an hour and half unless you order something else. Understandable since they are so busy, but kind of annoying.

    The decor of this place is next level. This is professional level theme stuff. I went a few weeks ago and they still had the winter decor up. There were like 50 human-sized (faux) stuffed bears and rabbits suspended from the ceiling. The soundtrack was lit. The drinks were beautiful. The food was so-so and the service got slower and sassier (in a bad way) as the night went on, but I wouldn’t hesitate to go back.

    Absolutely the energy of this place , fab decor even with Halloween decorations . Service excellent , food outstanding , everything was delicious ! Staff very friendly and accommodating. Couldn’t but highly recommend it . Just one or two suggestions ! Menus are an app and I feel it would benefit having a hard copy for those who aren’t into their apps ! Also , a good idea to have regular sugar , not all substitutes , and Salt & Pepper on each table . Other than that I be back , a five star experience . We had eggs Benedict’s and Omelette with truffles and mushroom and absolutely divine .

    The atmosphere was beautifully decorated, creating a welcoming ambiance. I visited during happy hour on a Friday and was delighted by the array of delicious food options, including a mouthwatering burger with seasoned fries, flavorful nachos with spinach dip, succulent fried shrimp, and a satisfying steak served with fries. The margarita drinks offered were also exceptional. I am already looking forward to returning and eagerly anticipate inviting friends to join me soon.

    We went for drinks and it was good. They have a Halloween theme now.

  • Review 99 (2024-08-12 - Rating: 4)

    Fun brunch option near Times Square. The service is hit or miss (always feels like they’re a little understaffed) but always friendly. The food is surprisingly good for a place this instgrammable. Great place for special event meals (bachelorettes, etc.) and/or bringing out-of-towners.

  • Review 100 (2023-12-18 - Rating: 5)

    A local NYC favorite. Great spot for any holiday as they always go all out with the decor.

    Good food (just had truffle fries and calamari) and the drinks was ok not anything extraordinary(had the old fashioned)Lively environment but can definitely do better

    Five stars for the cocktails and atmosphere, food was average, service was good, attentive but not overbearing.

  • Review 103 (2023-02-13 - Rating: 5)

    Stopped in for a drink after Christmas. The decorations were so over the top! I felt like I was at Santa’s workshop. It was delightful!!!

  • Review 104 (2023-09-09 - Rating: 5)

    This place was stunning!! The bartender was awesome and attentive. The drinks were unique and they have a big menu to pick from. I ordered from the happy hour menu and it was perfect. The shishito peppers were to die for, the charcuterie board was perfect and fresh, and I had a steak for dinner which was excellent. Last the design and decorations throughout were STUNNING. I felt like I was in another time that was classic and beautiful. MUST GO!!

  • Review 106 (2023-10-11 - Rating: 5)

    My friend and I made reservations about an hour before we arrived on Sunday! We were sat very quickly which was nice. The decor is to DIE for!! 🎃👻 I love Halloween decor so this was probably the best part for me! The first drink (Helena Molonia) I ordered was delicious, but not that strong and the second drink (How Soon is Now) wasn’t my fav but the presentation was really cute! As for the food, the chicken sandwich and Caesar salad were really yummy. Can’t wait to go back and see the Christmas decor!🤩

  • Review 107 (2023-05-13 - Rating: 5)

    Cool, fun spot off of Union Square.Got the James Dean old fashioned and the seafood pasta. It had a very tasty sauce and was very good. My friend got the truffle gnocchi and the How Soon is Now drink. Both very good.Overall wonderful atmosphere and good food. Highly recommend.

  • Review 108 (2024-11-01 - Rating: 5)

    The food was way better than expected. When you go to these gimmicky places sometimes the food skimps, not here. The gnocchi was to die for so was the nachos. The buffalo cauliflower was okay. Drinks were great too. The service could have been slightly better. Great Halloween vibes

  • Review 109 (2019-08-02 - Rating: 5)

    Had a wonderful lavender and citrus gin and tonic! Perfectly refreshing on a hot day. The bartenders are talented and very engaging.

  • Review 110 (2023-10-06 - Rating: 4)

    Great cocktails! Also very fairly priced. We just waited a lot for bartenders to come up to us. Besides that was decorated beautifully for Halloween!

  • Review 111 (2023-09-15 - Rating: 4)

    Its a charming spot, perfect for hosting friends visiting from out of town.

    Jobani (hope I spelled his name right) was an angel who was super supportive and wonderful when I thought I lost my bag at Lillies. Ended up being at the restaurant next door, but could not recommend Lillies more for making you feel like you belong and that everyone is looking out for you! Thanks Jobani!

    Great decor and beer selection, also wasnt so noisy despite being very crowded. Ill come back !

  • Review 115 (2023-09-22 - Rating: 4)

    Very nice place with great atmosphere. First time stopped in briefly to get a mocktail. There were all different types of parties - birthday parties, brunch, exploding firework candles, flowers, and sexy waiters and waitresses. Their staff dress code is way nicer than their sister restaurant, Oscar Wilde. Came back for brunch on a Saturday and there were plenty of seats. The menu is the same here as for Oscar Wilde but somehow I felt like the food was better here. *Note... I also went to the location on 17th and it was uncannily similar to Oscar Wilde

  • Review 116 (2023-09-10 - Rating: 5)

    Such an amazing experience. This is a Place you definitely want to try or come back to. Our server Luis was so helpful and accommodating with suggestions. Sangria down the rabbit hole was one of the best things Ive had and the proud Mary was just as good. The gnocchi was so well done and the bang bang shrimp were delicious. 10/10

  • Review 117 (2022-05-02 - Rating: 5)

    I loved the old school decor, my burger was HITTIN, the drinks were SLAMMIN and the Service was Great

  • Review 118 (2023-09-12 - Rating: 5)

    This is one of the best restaurant/bar experiences Ive ever had. My group and I had a reservation for the other Lillies location, but our driver took us to this one by accident. Luckily we only waited for about 10 minutes and a table was available. The tall man at the front (security/host?) and Manager were friendly and very helpful.Everything was amazing - the decor and ambience, our fantastic server, and the drinks and food. The next time I visit NYC, I hope to be back!

  • Review 119 (2023-11-12 - Rating: 5)

    The decor is beautiful, we were hoping the Christmas decor would be up but the Halloween decor was still very cool. We got the sea bass and the duck breast both were good. We loved the chili lime potato wedges!

  • Review 121 (2023-07-07 - Rating: 5)

    Always magical, walking into the Victorian time travel that is this beautiful place! And, what an AMAZING shock and surprise, not knowing that is has been insanely and fantastically decorated, FULLY and head to toe, as Alice In Wonderland. Must visit, must experience, must see. Food is incredible, as well!

  • Review 122 (2024-06-11 - Rating: 5)

    Loved our server Sara, and had a great time. Cocktails were refreshing and delicious. And food was delicious. We had chorizo and steamed muscles, lobster rav and chix sandwich with a cheesecake serving for dessert. Our server really took good care of us and she was just top-notch along with the ambiance.

  • Review 126 (2023-10-15 - Rating: 4)

    What an incredible atmosphere. For Halloween the decorations are very fun. Went for brunch and got eggs Benedict. The hollandaise felt a bit sparse to me, there was nothing special about it if Im honest. I enjoyed my cappuccino and the chocolate mousse cake. Service was very friendly and responsive.

  • Review 129 (2023-04-01 - Rating: 5)

    Ive been to Lillies a few times primarily for drinks. The ambience here is fantastic thanks to the Victorian decor and large space, not to mention the long counter bar! Also the bartenders are extremely friendly and very professional.My friends and I had a great time and will definitely return again real soon.

  • Review 130 (2023-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    Yes, I loved this place. It was even more magical inside than I imagined. It was whimsical and fun with great music. The food was also very good. I got the steak fries with truffle fries which were good but the star dish was the truffle gnocchi. 10/10 on that one. I would skip the fried ice cream.

  • Review 131 (2024-04-10 - Rating: 4)

    Listen this place is GORGEOUS. We came in around the time they opened so it wasnt busy yet plus it was a Tuesday. The drinks are absolutely superb plus they had happy hour so they were a nice price too ($10). Honestly such a deal especially at a spot like this and in the area its in! Of course the reason to come here is for the DECOR. Ive walked past a few times and really wanted to go inside and check it out. They go all out, and if youve ever been to a themed or specialty pub in London it definitely has that feel to it. The vibe is so lovely! Drinks wise everything we had was so tasty. I think especially given how quiet it was in there it would be nice if the bartenders were a little bit more friendly but I think they were just quiet which is also okay. But we did have to seriously flag them down to order more. Probably would have had another drink if they had checked in a little bit. But all in all, this is a lovely place. I dont know what its like when its super busy but I highly recommend checking it out on those non busy hours to enjoy everything without the hustle!

    Friendly staff, great vibes, love the Halloween decor. The food was honestly standard, we trued the calamari(favorite of all), nachos and thai wings. The drinks were decent as well. A very popular spot for the college students as well.

    This place is just amazing in person as it is online! My friends and went to Lillie’s on 49th! We had the best corner; perfect for pictures and videos! Our seating was for 1hr but turned out to be 4 hrs long; we got so lucky! Appetizers entree and desert was really good! The drinks were also good! We had the most amazing waiters and servers! Devin was such a DOLL and that is an understatement!!!! Because of him were coming back!!!!! Thanks to epiphany for waiting on us hands and foot! The whole place was such a vibeeeeeeeee + the music made it that better!

    Despite several bad reviews, my husband and I decided to go and try ourselves... and we were delighted 😍 everything was great, the service, the drinks, the atmosphere, etc. We went with a reservation and we didnt find it too expensive. We will be back for sure! ☺️

  • Review 140 (2022-08-23 - Rating: 5)

    This place is super lovely and well thought out. The cocktails were cute and dainty. In fact, the whole experience was kind of dainty. I had major nostalgia when I saw the antique clock above the bar that appeared to be the same as a clock my mom had when I was growing up.

  • Review 141 (2023-07-24 - Rating: 5)

    Lillies is truly something special! Its definitely worth going down this rabbit hole. The decore and atmosphere is straight out of Wonderland! The cocktails are phenomenal, and the food is great! I 100% recommend stopping by.
