“ We had a sumptuous, simple and relaxing lunch during a cloudy day in the gorgeous front porch of Lilian’s at the Inn. Great service, beautiful location and fantastic design inside at the bar and restaurant. Is it pricey? Sure. But it’s worth it. Avocado herb sandwich was delicious. Frites were worth fighting for. ”
“ Amazing food. The bass….yum! Amazing service…request crystal. She will take great care of you. Awesome wine…the white burgundy. So good! And the atmosphere! This place is a home run. ”
“ I ordered the baked eggplant. It was excellent, but the portion was WAY to small given the high price for a basic Italian dish. I mentioned this to the waiter (who was very good), and just a few minutes later, the manager came over to hear my comments (both positive ones and negatives), and he COMPPED my entire meal. Which I certainly didn't expect or even want. I'll certainly go back again. ”
“ What an incredible dining experience! The hospitality we received surpassed any expectations we could have had. Our server was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, made wonderful recommendations including an off menu drink suggestion that aligned perfectly to our expressed preferences, and the food hit on every front. Oh and we were blown away at the willingness to split all of the items that we were sharing. We will definitely be back! ”
“ Beautiful restaurant. We spent the weekend at the inn and tried Lilian’s for breakfast, brunch and dinner. The food is absolutely delicious. The atmosphere is very welcoming. The service was a bit slow but everyone was very nice and friendly. ”
“ Always such a special meal to share with my best girlfriends. Love the atmosphere, the staff and the food. This time we went for brunch and I ordered the salmon bagel and it was absolutely perfect. My friend ordered the lemon pound cake and coffee and she raved about how moist and delicious it was as well. ”
“ Lillian's is a lovely spot to dine or go gor drinks at the bar. Classy atmosphere and a patio area with a nice view. Impeccable service! I particularly love their tomato soup, but also enjoy their salads, omelets, and their breakfast burrito. This is one spot I frequent. Especially nice for weekend brunch! Reservations recommended. No pictures of foods this time, but we did take a picture of the nice birthday treat! ”
