"Lily in the Richmond doesn’t have a private room, but this place is somewhat small, and you can book the whole place with a group of your friends. You’ll work with the chef to create a custom menu with wine pairings. Since it’s the same folks who brought you impeccable whole-fried fish, tangy filet mignon salads, and downright luxurious Vietnamese iced coffee with salted duck egg foam, you’re in good hands." - lani conway, julia chen 1
