Lillie's Victorian Establishment

Edited slightly. The more I reflect on this experience, the more disappointed I am in the poor value for the price. I've done many afternoon teas in many cities, and this is unquestionably the worst experience I've had so far. Went for afternoon tea here and it was a bit of a mixed bag. I really enjoyed the scones and extra-thick clotted cream. Tea for two people should have two of everything - four macarons in four flavors means sharing them all or missing out on two flavors. The tea sandwiches were lackluster - I didn't care for the chopped celery in the egg salad personally, and the cucumber sandwiches were very soggy. (This is why cucumber sandwiches are usually made with cold butter - to protect the bread from moisture). The fresh fruit was delicious but baffling; blueberries and grapes are best enjoyed with the fingers, however they had been needlessly dusted with powdered sugar. The tea on offer was nice, but weak as they only provided a single tea bag per pot and the water wasn't as hot as should be for brewing a black tea. Lastly, I can excuse sugar packets, but plastic stir straws instead of teaspoons just feels wrong. The high-top seating was very difficult for my 4'10" self to climb up into. That said, service was very attentive and the space was charming.

(This review is from a dining experience in Nov '25.) Had a work dinner at this location, and everything was very unique and engaging. Food was very good, and the lingering decor from Halloween was very extensive, well done, and interesting to look at. Service was pretty good, given the fact that this night the location was packed full of people. They took good care of our large party. Understand that this is a popular restaurant in NYC, so it's going to be packed with people at most dining times, tight maneuvering, and loud. It's a unique dining experience in a city full of them, and if you can book a table here I would highly recommend it.

Had an excellent time at Lillie’s before seeing Book of Mormon. Literally right across the street from the theater. This extended our time here so we could have a long relaxing dinner. We started off with some drinks which were yummy! We also had the calamari for an appetizer. I was a little perplexed about why they would put pickled onions with calamari but I couldn’t get enough of this combo once I started eating them. Then we had the chicken pot pie and the buttermilk chicken sandwich with the truffles fries. All of this with no disappointments. We did sit at the bar bc we did not make a reservation. So, if that’s not your thing I would highly recommend making one. We were there on a Thursday at 5 and there was plenty of room at the bar, but by about 545. You could not get a seat. Plan ahead. The winter and Valentine’s Day decor combo was spot on. Been to the other location in October and Lillies never seems to disappoint with their decor. Almost forgot to add our servers were super attentive. They did not hover but they were available enough to make our 2 hour bar visit and absolute pleasure.

Came here with the family for a pre-theatre lunch. We originally planned to enjoy the beautiful floral decor, but as luck would have it, they’d just switched over to Halloween that week — in September! Theme-heavy spots near Times Square can be hit or miss, so expectations were modest. The place was pretty full (long and narrow layout), but thankfully we had a reservation and were seated right away. While the decorations were over-the-top — the “kitsch index” was high — the sheer volume of Halloween props covering every inch of the high ceilings actually made this die-hard New Yorker begrudgingly appreciate it. At least they commit. Most importantly, the food was actually good — surprisingly good. My Cobb salad was huge and fresh (oddly, it listed avocado as an extra add-on, but mine came with it anyway). The burrata disappeared in seconds, the burger was juicy with crisp potatoes and greens, and the croque madame came topped with a perfectly runny, “sexy” sunny-side-up egg. Everything was delicious, and we cleared our plates in record time to make our show. Service was attentive, with staff constantly circulating and easy to flag down. We’ll definitely be back once the flowers bloom again — next time, without the Halloween pumpkins watching us eat.

Came in for brunch; atmosphere was absolutely stunning. Luckily we didn’t need a reservation and got sat before the rush. All the food was delicious. Mimosa was so fresh and light! Highly recommend

I came here for dinner Dec 18 and It was my first time eating and visiting Lillies and I’ll just say I was blown away by the holiday decor and the atmosphere. Just simply amazing. But the cherry on the top was the delicious food and awesome service by Jaime. He made sure we were taken care of and went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience. I highly recommend having dinner here and see if you can ask for Jaime to be your server, you won’t be disappointed! Awesome decor, awesome server, awesome food! 10/10.

The vibes here are incredible!! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The decorations for Halloween are unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I felt like I could hang out there all day and still not get to see every piece of decor in detail. Every inch of the restaurant was covered!! We loved our drinks, they were festive themed and really tasty. The Mac & cheese bites were nothing special (they needed salt + a dipping sauce), and my friend's burger was just okay (also needed a sauce!). My pot pie was delicious, but a little more room temp than I expected. We plan to go back when they decorate for Christmas! But possibly only for drinks, given our overall food experience wasn’t the greatest but the themed vibes and drinks totally make up for lackluster food. I’ve dined at the Lillie’s in Union Square before and the food was better at that location. This is in Times Square, which might mean it’s much busier and the food isn’t the top priority. But def loved the decor and drinks and it is a total vibes for the holidays!!

I visited Lillie’s Victorian in early January and was happy to see that the Christmas decorations were still up. The restaurant is beautifully decorated during the holidays, with so much detail everywhere you look. We were told it takes the staff a full two weeks just to put all the decorations up, and it shows. Honestly, the décor alone made the experience and is the main reason I would recommend visiting, especially during the Christmas season. I chose this restaurant specifically because we wanted to do afternoon tea. The overall afternoon tea experience was fine, but nothing spectacular, especially considering the price point of about $60 per person. I do wish the spread included a bit more food. The finger sandwiches were not great, but we really enjoyed the scones and even ordered a second one. We ordered both the Earl Grey and chai tea, and the chai was my favorite. We had a 12:00 p.m. reservation and arrived about 30 minutes early but were seated right away. The restaurant filled up quickly around noon, so reservations are definitely a good idea. We were informed there is a 90-minute seating limit, which is something to keep in mind if you’re planning to linger. There were a few downsides, the booth seats were pretty stained, and the teacups and saucers were chipped, though I suppose that added a bit of old-world character. Service was fine overall, though it could have been a little more friendly and attentive. All in all, it was a good experience, and I would recommend visiting mainly during the Christmas season to enjoy the beautiful decorations.

After the theater, my fiends and I made our way to Lillie's. I am glad I had an early reservation because it was already crowded. They were able to accommodate me by adding one additional guest to my reservation. I appreciated that. Upon entering the restaurant I noticed the ornate decor, the great music, and purposefully place antiques. One pet peeve I have is that there were no paper towels in the restroom. Those blowers harbor bacteria, and I just don't use them. OK, onto the food. I know that's what you all want to hear about. Our server was Lauti. He was very nice and attentive. Because there was so much food, In this review I will focus on 1-10 ratings for each item. Bacon Jam Crostini: "10" a def MUST try. Packed with flavor. I wanted at least 6. Brussel Sprouts: "5" They were OK, not bad. Ratatouille: "10" Also packed with flavor, and enough to share with the group. Chicken Pot Pie: "7" It was flakey, had a beautiful color and texture. The chicken could have been seasoned more. Lobster Ravioli: "8" I was creamy and had a nice taste, but I think the portion should have been a bit larger for the price. Grilled Harissa Lamb Chops: "8". Grilled/charred very nicely. Potatoes had hearty flavor that paired well with the lamb chops. I loved the way this dish was plated. Truffle Mushroom Pappardelle: "10" This was delicious. The creamy white truffle sauce and the vegetables all blended beautifully together. There was nothing missing with this dish. All of the ingredients were spot on and complimented each other perfectly. Now for the desserts: 1. Bread Pudding A La Mode: "6" It was good and had good consistency, but I think the flavors would have been enjoyed more if this dish was served hot or at least VERY warm. 2. Limoncello Mascarpone Cake: "3" First time trying it. I thought it was very empty in flavor. But had a fulfilling presentation. 3. Ricotta Pistachio Cake: "3". Better than the Limoncello, but still not enough sweetness. Mocktails- whoever came up with the names is definitely in tough with the culture. I ordered "Tyler the Creator" which had fresh mint, lime and orange juice, hibiscus, and ginger. "10". This was VERY flavorful and refreshing. I think the rapper, himself would approve of this mocktail named in his honor. Overall, Lillie's Victorian Establishment was a great. It's a definite "must-do" while you are in the City. Till we eat again...

Located just off of Times Square on 49th Street, this establishment is a perfect escape from the streets that takes patrons on a journey back in time to the Victorian era. Lillie's Victorian Establishment commemorates the life of Lillie Langtry, an actress from the British Isle of Jersey who came to New York in the late nineteenth century to become a Broadway star. Organized in the style of the classic Victorian gin palaces, the interior décor, from red velvet couches and ornate, glittering chandeliers to the antique pictures and stained glass windows, with every corner offering something unique, comes from the ballroom of a nineteenth-century estate in Northern Ireland and is worth an Instagram-featured picture straight out of a storybook. The reservation was easily made on their website for brunch as first-timers before our Broadway show. Upon entering, our breath was taken away by how beautifully decorated the interior was. My partner and I were greeted by the staff to a packed house and got a high table immediately in the back. The vibe was lively and charming, enhanced by music from past eras. Seating was tight, but that's pretty typical in the city. The menu featured an array of classic American and British dishes for brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner, including fish and chips, shepherd's pie, and prime rib, as well as a selection of craft beers, cocktails, and desserts. We decided on the brunch menu with Shakshuka (Eggs In Purgatory) and Steak Sandwich with Fries. We washed them down with Bellinis, which were perfectly refreshing and thoughtfully crafted. We saved room for dessert and shared the Limoncello Mascarpone cake. The food was made fresh, well seasoned, served hot, and flavorful. The staff were friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable, especially our server, Claire. The price and portions were reasonable. The theme of the restaurant decor changes every 4 months or so and was phenomenal, making it a fun, touristy attraction and worth the trip alone, which we can recommend.

We had some extra time before a show, so we stopped here to get a drink. It was PACKED! Luckily, we got there right as someone at the bar was leaving, so we actually got in. I was very excited to see the Victorian building, so I was surprised to see there was so much Christmas decor that I couldn't even see the walls. It was amazing! The service at the bar was great. We tried a sangria, passion fruit mimosa-type beverage, and I honestly don't remember the name of mine, but they were all fantastic! I can't wait to come back here to see the Halloween decor next!

I've come here a few times and it's always a nice spot before a show or to grab drinks. Their food is great but this time we only got the fried calamari and brussel sprouts. Love their creative cocktails and if you come during a holiday they have fun decorations up. Just be sure to make reservations or come early as bar seating fills up quick.

Stopped by for dinner and to check out the beautiful Christmas décor. I had made a reservation about 2 months prior so we were seated right away. The hostess wasn't friendly and the hostess area was quite small and crowded. We decided to go to the bathroom first and we were told to go downstairs. The bathrooms were clean but super tight. We were both wearing coats and barely had any room in the stall. Once at our table, the server came over right away. We had two different servers throughout the night and they were both nice. My friend and I both ordered drinks and entrées. The drinks were both delicious and nicely presented. The food on the other had no flavor. I had the fish and chips and my friend had a chicken pot pie. The fish I had had no flavor whatsoever. It was hot and crispy, but bland. My friend also said the same thing about the chicken pot pie. She said it was very bland, small, and lukewarm in the middle. The vibes were nice and they had great music playing. I wouldn't so much come for food next time but just for drinks at the bar.

I absolutely love this spot. I have been here a few times and it is always hopping, but we are usually able to snag a table after a late show. The decorations and vibe are something to remember. I visited last fall and returned recently for the holiday/winter time magic. Always gorgeous and just over the top in a lovely way. Their seasonal cocktails are always delicious. For the holidays, they had a cinnamon smoked old fashioned and several other lovely offerings. Fantastic. The food I have had here has been great. I will be honest, I have only had a few things off of the menu because we come here and just order a lot of their blistered shishito peppers, which are the best I have had anywhere else and I don't know why. I swear I will try something else the next time I come. Even if I don't it's not like I lose, right? Highly recommend a stop at this enchanting hot spot.

I love both of these locations! They have SUCH a fantastic cocktail program! I had the most amazing drink, a seasonal cocktail of theirs that was sorta like an Old Fashion but with marshmallow. Any and all of their drinks are delicious! They also are a favorite spot of mine to go for a drink and late night dessert/snack. They have GREAT truffle fries and good cakes. The atmosphere is also so fun and always a great way to end a night! Even on a busy weekend, you're usually able to find a seat or two at the bar! Love it here.

Just had the most magical afternoon tea at Lillie's Victorian Establishment, and wow--what an experience! If you're looking for the prettiest holiday restaurant in NYC, this is it. From the moment you walk in, you're transported into a dazzling world of twinkling lights, lush garlands, and vintage ornaments. Every corner sparkles with holiday magic, making it the perfect backdrop for festive gatherings and special occasions. The ambiance is pure Victorian-era charm, with lavish decor that feels straight out of a storybook. Whether it's for a cozy tea date, a holiday celebration, or just to soak in the enchanting atmosphere, Lillie's is a must-visit this season.

Walked by Saturday night and wanted to check out their decor. Can't go in without a reservation, they don't take walk ins and won't give a wait time, their phone also doesn't work when my friend tried calling earlier in the day. Reserve before you go! Lady in the front was kinda mean too. Guess I won't be back here again. The one on 17st was better since my sister told me about their nice decor the other day and they let her go in to check it out and take a look.

My friends and I decided to have a halloween day dinner at Lillies and it was great! A lot of other customers were dressed up in costumes and we received some surprise candy before our dinner. Wait staff were awesome, we've chatted with them and it was fun how they reacted to all of our costumes. The cocktail drinks came out delicious and all of them included fun garnishes on it. Since I was dressed as a thief I decided to get the Thieving Thespian drink which I highly recommend. The Chicken Pot Pie was nice and flaky on the top and nice and creamy on the inside! Would definitely check it out again. Also FYI they were already changing to Christmas decors on Halloween (Nutcracker displays and bears inside) so I suggest going a few days earlier if you want to see their Halloween themed establishment!

You come for the decor, but stay for the food and service. We had Buffalo wings, Zucchini noodles, Bourbon bread pudding, Pappardelle and Chocolate mousse cake. The wings rank up there with Anchor Steam and Duff's. They are solid, excellent, juicy, spicy Buffalo wings. They are made by someone who really knows their wings. Service was attentive and friendly. Remember to tip well.

Stopped in here before a show. Made reservations in advance. Place was decorated in large pink florals - the ambiance was phenomenal. The food was excellent. Started the evening with an aperol spritz and order pulled pork sliders and bacon jam crostini. They were both heavenly. The pulled pork came on a pretzel bun. One star deducted because the place was extremely tight. You couldn't pull your chair out without bumping into the guests next to you. Regardless of the space, I would return back because the food and drinks were divine.

Firstly, it's the ambiance for me. The day I first walked in I knew I was coming back (didn't even try a meal or drink). I was disappointed the Halloween decorations weren't up but it's all good, still a beautiful sight, especially to bring people who haven't been. We ordered the only fans and Bloody Mary the first visit. But for the second visit, I ordered the Amistad Leah which was really reallllllly GOOD - My fav drink is still the only fans though. The food was pleasant although the steak was a bit overcooked. We also ordered the king salmon and that's a solid plate. Definitely stop by BUT suggest making a reservation unless you want to sit by the bar but even then you may not get lucky to find a seat. I'll be back and will try the Tyler, the creator drink (mocktail)

My reservation for 2 was for 1/8/25 and they thankfully still had their lovely holiday decorations up. It was so much easier to make a reservation since Christmas had come & gone. The white Victorian Christmas motif provides a wonderful contrast/complement to the red Victorian Christmas motif and decorations that decked the Lillie's on 17th St, which I'd just been to the week before. We both ordered the waygu cheeseburger (which I doubt was real waygu). The burger tasted good but to me, it cost a lot for what it was; I suppose we're paying for the holiday ambiance, not to mention the expensive Times Square real estate. The highlight besides the ambiance was the Lillian Bland, which was a pretty drink and a tasty one that I could have several glasses of, if only I could! It is made of vodka, elderflower liqueur, lavender, rose and grapefruit soda.

A very fine option for dining and drinking in the Times Square area, which I (like everyone else) of course recommend avoiding if at all possible. I've been here twice and can't help but love the kitschy decor, bubbly rosè and overall girly pop vibes. I saw birthday parties, couples grabbing lunch, and lots of tourists on my last visit. You won't miss the big decor out front. Bartenders are not overly friendly but I wouldn't be either if I had to deal with this volume of tourists.

Reservations highly recommended. I came here for brunch, my friend ordered the steak sandwich $28 and I had the Caesar salad $19 + chicken $10. The food was ok. You're really paying for the ambiance as it was decked out for the holidays. Worth a visit if you're looking for a Christmas themed restaurant.

I was here yesterday ( week before Thanksgiving) I made reservations way in advance. It GET BUSY during the season. The hostess seemed overwhelmed and told us only 90 minutes for our table. It's charming , food and drinks delish ( we had brunch ). An hour in we were done, paid the check ( 92 for two) which the waitress says the amount and waits for you to pay ( no time to sort out the check or tip) she looked VERY over whelmed. We wanted to go to bathroom ( right near the seat) and hostess came and asked if we were done that there were others bathrooms. ( we STILL had 30 minutes like what if we got dessert)? Overall , it's a nice place, not going to blame the workers as it was SO busy and they were trying to accommodate. Maybe the owner can hire more people. Anyway, the season is in full swing and I'm sure it's booked until January. Until NEXT YEAR! DECOR is amazing!

Came here for my birthday dinner (yes, Lillie's birthday at Lillie's). It was such a fun and upbeat environment and the decor was a 10/10 (we came on December 4th, during the Christmas pop up). I had a caesar salad and truffle fries - both were delicious and exceeded my expectations. Our only qualms were that the restaurant is LOUD and really overstimulated some of the neurodivergent folks in the party, it was a little too crowded for our comfort, and the service could have been a little bit quicker (we were cutting it close on the reserved 90 minutes). Lillie's is one of those places that I'm so glad I went, but I don't think I'll be returning. I will definitely be sending my out-of-town friends here for a cute girls dinner!

I have always wanted to visit Lillie's for the beautiful decorations and I decided to pop in one day at the Times Square location with my boyfriend because we were around the area. Like most places in the city, reservations are required to get a seating at a table and I saw there were still availability the morning/afternoon of. However, when I checked again an hour before - they were all gone! Either way, I tried walking in and thankfully, I got seated right away at the bar table which do not require reservations. Like how the outside looks, the place is not that wide but it's long. The place is very antique and decorated with flowers. The bar is also very nice and has a good variety of options. Upon seating, we were directed to scan the QR code on the table to view the menu. My boyfriend and I love seafood so we decided to try the crispy fried calamari, lobster ravioli, and the chicken pot pie that everyone raves about. Surprisingly I did not like the calamari as it was too fried and the taste of the lobster ravioli was just not for me. However, the chicken pot pie is a must try! I normally do not like pot pies, but this dish was delicious and is big enough to share. As for the drinks, both our drinks were great! I ordered a mocktail that has cucumber and lavender notes. The drink was just what I wanted on a hot day - very refreshing! My boyfriend ordered a rum based cocktail which he enjoyed but the only negative thing was the coconut pieces inside and neither of us like coconut flakes. Definitely worth visiting once in your lifetime! And will come back for drinks and the vibes!

Came here twice. Once for drinks and once for dinner. Both times the service was great. They have a ton of cool specialty cocktails and the ambiance of this place can't be beat. The music is all over the place but in a good way. They were playing Sean Kingston, Chappell, etc. It was from a lot of different eras but all great music. For food I tried their chicken pot pie and it was delicious. Would recommend. Feel like this is a great place to bring out of towners!

The place is so CUTE, there are giant pink flowers everywhere, and the decor does just enough to feel immersed. It's definitely a place geared for the girlies. The food was really good too, and the serving sizes were bigger than expected. The lamb chops were really good, and my friend got the duck and that was nice, although felt a bit too dry. The service was a bit slow, but I can chalk that off with the fact that there was only one server for what seemed like the entire back of the restaurant. My friend and I also got the spinach dip, and that was nice as well. I definitely ate a ton of it while waiting for my food. I got the sangria, and I thought it was good as well, but I'm still chasing the sangria high of one I had in London, and sadly this one missed that mark.

We walked in on a Thursday night around 7Pm and were still able to get seated quickly. Our server was great! The drinks were fantastic and the vibes were immaculate!

We had a reservation and was seated promptly. Service was great and food was mediocre. The decor and atmosphere was what I was living for! I felt like we were walking into a snow globe. Highly recommend this place! Excellent espresso martinis as well.

I had such a great time here and I'm so excited to return! Afternoon tea in the city can get quite expensive but this has been one of my most memorable and favorite afternoon tea places so far! There's quite a lot of food and trust me - you will get full. I had even wanted to order more but didn't realize how quickly all of this would fill me up! My favorites had to be the croissants and the tea. The tea I chose was earl grey and it was really fragrant. You can also ask for milk on the side. I had fig for the first time in the finger sandwiches, and while I learned that I'm not a fan of fig, it was a really interesting flavor and one that I think a lot of people would probably enjoy with the prosciutto. Of course, I can't forget about the decor! No complaints here, the whole building, inside and outside was decked out in beautiful Victorian era decor. I would highly recommend visiting here (make sure to RSVP!) and bringing a friend or date. It's such a lovely place to have a meal and chat.

Really cool spot - attended a private event. Food was delicious! Staff was attentive & friendly. Atmosphere was really cool.

The moment I spotted the pink flowers outside the restaurant from across the street I knew I was in for something special. The door knobs were replaced with angels - the details of this restaurant were really impressive. Upon entering my breath was taken away by how beautifully decorated this place was. Every where you looked there was an antique or stained glass art or a huge cupboard that held all the teapots and beautiful teacups. We had 11:00 am reservations on a Sunday and arrived at 10;30. Parking wasn't bad at all- it was Sunday so we got lucky and found free street parking! Even though we were early we were seated at a high top table all the way at the back next to the fire place. My only issue was how tight the tables were back there I had to constantly move in or even stand to let the waiters get through. My sister and I both did the afternoon tea $50 Per person. And it came with a 3tier stand - chicken pesto sandwich (my fav), cucumber sandwich and salmon. Had I known they were going to put so many salmon sandwiches I would of subbed those for more chicken ones instead. Delicious scones, crossaints and maccaroons! My sister and I truly enjoyed every moment! I can't wait to return!

My friend and I had a great experience here this afternoon. We had reservations at 1:30 for brunch and were seated on time. The ambience is gorgeous first of all, i could not stop looking around at the beautiful decor. We had the omelette and chicken and waffles. Both were very good. I also wanted an iced coffee. The waiter brought me an iced latte even though they did not offer it on their menu. I was very happy about that because it showed they go out of their way to accommodate their customers. Our waiter was attentive and kind. I would love to come back to try more drinks and food items.

This place is absolutely stunning! From the ceiling decor to the art everywhere, I could browse it for hours and continue to find small details hidden away. A friend and I came here for brunch and enjoyed our experience. We had the pancakes and the eggs Benedict and both dishes were good - fairly standard breakfast. However, beyond the ambiance, people really should come here for the tea and cocktails. The cocktails are gorgeous and tea is served in the daintiest, beautiful china sets.

Stopped here based of a recommendation of a friend and it was absolutely adorable! If you're looking for a fun Christmasy bar with light eats and drinks, I'd highly recommend. Located close to Rockefeller, I'd suggest stopping in here before seeing a show or visiting the iconic tree. We ordered the only fans and a cinnamon bourbon drink, paired with a charcuterie. The charcuterie was loaded up and fairly priced for the portion of meats and cheeses we received. I was a huge fan of the bourbon drink but, the only fans was a tad too sweet for me (it was a hilarious play on the classic porn star martini I might add). The presentation though was beautiful for both drinks. We must've timed our arrival perfectly because when we went to leave the bar around 11, there was a line down the road. My biggest nod to this restaurant was how friendly the staff was. They were so accompanying to everyone that came in and it was clear that customer service is their specialty. After checking out other bars in Manhattan, I noted that Lillie's is apart of a local chain of bars. If Lillies is full, I'd recommend checking out Oscar Wilds. They have the same menu and similar decor!

This is an adorable place. Came here for dinner and had the black sea bass and the mushroom pappardelle. They were both delicious! The fish was cooked perfectly. The skin was seared crispy and the fish was juicy and tender. The pasta was so flavorful and the interior decoration so was beautiful it just made everything so much nicer. The drinks were good and strong. Service was good. They came to check in on us periodically to make sure we were doing okay. I would definitely love to come back for brunch.

We were really looking forward to dining here but were disappointed with the overall experience. We arrived around 4 PM but couldn't get a table without a reservation, so we booked for 7 PM. Unfortunately, when we returned and looked over the menu, nothing stood out as particularly exciting. We ordered the BBQ sliders and calamari, both of which were just average. The decor is beautiful, especially with all the flowers, but the food didn't impress us. The drinks were okay; we tried the Only Fans cocktail and another one that I can't remember, but neither was memorable. Overall, it's a nice spot to visit once for the atmosphere, but we won't be returning.

This is for the Union Square location: Took a large group for lunch recently to enjoy the Christmas decor. Even with a reservation, the restaurant had a mixup on their end; however, they quickly rallied and managed to accommodate our party and even discounted our tab. Food was better-than-expected pub fare, drinks were festive and delish. And the holiday decor was amazing! Great way to kick off the season!

I love this restaurant! The vibe is so fun and beautiful, the staff is friendly and attentive, and the food is great! I recommend the fish and chips or the truffle and mushroom pasta. The bar makes great drinks too. If you're seeing a show close by then I recommend making reservations here beforehand.

My friends and I booked a reservation for a cute girls brunch and we had the best time! The beautiful floral decor was what drove us to come and it looked as beautiful as the photos. We were seated promptly and the service was very good even though it started to get busy later in the afternoon. For drinks we had the "How Soon Is Now?" and "Only Fans Martini." They were both delicious and seemed strong but I liked the martini more. The topping was delish too. For our meals my friends had the avo toast and chicken and waffles and side of fries. I ordered the french toast and a side of eggs. We all enjoyed our brunch a lot. It was filled with flavor and a good portion size. The fries were so good! Overall I loved the experience and I will be back for sure!

The food was fantastic Had steak and frites Cocktails perfect Service was extremely personal But the atmosphere and decorations are top notch You must go to Lillies at least once to embrace this excellent restaurant Best part of my nyc trip!

I don't know if we just had bad luck but our experience at Lillie's was probably the worst bar/restaurant experience we had during this trip to New York. We happened to be here in the evening when they were super slow (meaning not very many customers) so them being busy is not a reason for what happened. We sat at the bar and it took a super long time for someone to acknowledge us. Eventually we were able to order drinks and they took a while to arrive. We planned to end our night here with multiple drinks but after finishing our drink nobody ever came to take our next drink order. Our waitress was talking with a woman at the other end of the bar the whole time and was ignoring everyone else. By the time she finally came back over we were ready to leave. Maybe it is actually better to come when they are busy so the bartenders don't feel they have time to talk with their friends or flirt.

My husband and I stopped in Lillie's for a couple of Saturday afternoon cocktails. First things first ...this place was easily one of the most beautiful bars I've ever visited! It is drenched in beautiful pink flowers! Even the outside of the bar is covered in flowers! We each had their own special twist on an old fashioned, and they were delicious. We only had cocktails, but the food that I saw come out looked and smelled amazing! Our bartender was so friendly and helped us pick out another bar for our next stop. This place was a fantastic place to stop in and I can't wait to visit NYC again and go back!

The customer service was really good, our waitress exchanged our cocktails when my friend did not like it? This was incredibly nice of her. And overall vibe was great!!!

Food was expensive for what you get Avocado toast was barely any avocado and $25. Crazy. We waited 45 minutes for 3 lattes. Tables were so close together you could barely get through. Won't go back. Very disappointing

Good service and decor to die for. Especially the holiday. Great birthday celebration spot.

We grabbed dinner here before our show! This place is so beautiful! I love that they decorate for different seasons and holidays. Our waitress was a sweetheart! She gave great recommendations for us to try. We told her we were on a time limit because of the show. So, she made sure everything came out in a timely manner. Appetizers: Mac N Cheese bites - Spinach dip Bacon Jam Crostini - my favorite! They were all actually tasty! Mains: Chicken pot pie Waygu burger- it was okay... it was nothing to write home about. It just tasted like a basic burger. Get the pot pie instead. We loved their drinks! Not only was their presentation beautiful, they were good!

The beautiful Victorian interior with huge, pink, floating flowers hanging from the ceiling was lovely to see upon entering. I'm sure they have many bridal showers and birthday parties. The food was fine, but you're definitely going for the atmosphere/design. Went on a weekday for lunch and it was not too busy. Seated right away with no reservation. Our server was excellent- very friendly and attentive.

Pesto pasta: 3/5 Felt like the pasta was a little undercooked, was kind of chewy to eat Truffle fries: 4/5 Was pretty good but can be a little too salty. Place is really pretty and a nice place to take your girlies to if you there for the views. Idk how their afternoon tea is but hopefully maybe I'll try it one day.

I really enjoyed Lillie's, as their Christmas decorations were on point! When you step inside, you are literally swept into the magical-ness of the decorations of the place. I particularly liked the polar bears, all lined up - wonderful spot to get your photos in and really get into the holiday spirit! The ceilings are high, and it seemed as if the restaurant covered every inch of the place! The bar area is first-come, first-serve. +great decorations! +bar is first-come, first-serve

Great ambiance and tasty drinks can't make up for the headache inducing level volume of mid century European pop jazz when the place is nearly empty. Expect to be seated elbow to elbow with other while 90% of the tables remain unfilled. The soup was forgettable, the coffee weak. However, cocktails very nice.

Food not so great but the DRINKS were amazing. Worth every penny. The place is gorgeous.

This was my third time visiting but second time during the holidays and I'm sad to say the service was not as great. The decorations and vibe during Christmas are spectacular. All cocktails including holiday drinks are always on point. We came here a year ago, a party of three and the host was able to accommodate us for drinks. This time we came around the same time (after Xmas) and though it was a party of 5 this time, the host said they didn't have any tables at all (though many of them were clearly OPEN) because they were all reserved for later. At no time we were offered to be added to a waiting list or were given any other options but the bar but there was no space. Even after I suggested it we can just have a drink and leave when any of the parties showed up the host wasn't very open to the idea. We ended up leaving, maybe will come by at a different time? diff host?

Definitely, you go to this place for the lavishing Christmas decorations. The service was ok. The brunch menu is short with solid options. Their pumpkin pancakes were really good and fulfilling. My husband had the burger which was really good as well and the meat was well cooked. A must have : their cocktails. The Bellini was delicious the cappuccino was good (non dairy milk options available) but small. It is not too pricy and the place is fun. I will give it a try again for Halloween

The first thing that will amaze you is the restaurant's Decor especially at Christmas time (when we went) You'll need to reserve the table in advance, though walks-in are welcome (like we did) but we waited around 90 mins to get the table reserved for 1;30 PM...The host helped accommodate us... we got the corner table and waited around 10 minutes for the server to take our order. I don't mind (not a tourist, from Jersey so I understand the culture or I am more understanding, you can say ;) ] til then we enjoyed sitting on a cozy sofa enjoying the decor! We ordered - Shrimp Scampi - wifey did not like it, as per her feedback - spaghetti was not boiled properly. she asked for Parmesn to season it. thing is we Indians don't believe in wasting food, if she had complained, they would have thrown out the food which is not acceptable to us -anyway, we gave the feedback to the server - 2.5/5 Chicken Salad Sandwich - Mashed chicken with Pesto, arugula, and Fries- it was good, I liked it- 4/5 I Know New York is a touristy place, but restaurants with a history like this, make New York what it is. Price - Reasonable - no burden on your pocket Service- It could be improved, but given the holiday season and how mad rush it is out there, it's fine for me at least Decor- Christmas Decor is amazing, extra star for Decor.
