"I ate there with a friend for the first time in July 2023, as I live near by and wanted to give it a shot.The Food we ordered was Ok err on the side of good. My friend appreciated his spice level (he likes it hot), and I 'll admit mine was on the hotter side too (could have toned it down a notch for me), so if spice is your think it may become better for you. Serving size might have been a bit on the small side, but still fair I suppose.The atmosphere works for such a small place, it seemed clean enough and well designed.Where this crossed into the not so good territory was in the minimalist lack luster service. We probably saw our waiter a total of 4-5 times for the entire more than an hour meal. Literally: Order, Bring Food, take away plates, check. NO WATER REFILS, NO ASK IF WE WANT A SECOND BEVERAGE, basically they stood there talking amongst themselves over at the bar the entire time. I drink a lot of water, so for me that part by itself is bad, but even worse when you 're dealing with Spicy Food! It seemed like we were done for a bit before they came over to clear as well.To add insult to injury THEY IGNORED MY TIP WRITTEN IN AND GAVE THEMSELVES EXTRA MONEY WHEN PROCESSING MY CARD! It isn 't enough money for me to go back and argue or call up the credit company, it 's likely they just assumed they could hit a certain button and not pay attention BUT WHEN YOUR SERVICE SUCKS IT MATTERS. That Dishonesty crossed the line into leaving a bad review and vowing to not go there again. (Note: our party size was 2 on a not so busy afternoon, no excuses there.)If you really want to try it, I would plan on paying Cash to avoid said dishonesty.Too bad too, I had hoped to try the Goat as I don 't see that on a lot of menus."

"Decent local spot to stop in to for the specialty cocktails but would not have high expectations or go out of my way to visit.Lilly's itself looks like a nicer dive bar rather than what I picture for cocktail and wine. The bathroom is not really nice but not disgusting either. The seating is not particularly comfortable.The food was mediocre even for bar food. I am big on brussel sprouts and, while enjoyable, the ones here had no texture and the honey taste was a bit overpowering and raw. The tacos were very mediocre in both quality of ingredients and proportion. We also ordered the drunken mussels which were tasty and came with nice toasted bread for dipping. My only complaint about those was that the dish had large pieces of onion and lemon slices, along with seeds, that made it hard to eat.This place is redeemed by its specialty cocktails of which the ones I sampled were actually creative and delicious. The burning passion was most impressive as the dramatic presentation with the burnt orange actually translated very well to the smoked citrus flavor profile. The sacrifice and smooth talker were also both well balanced. I did order one whisky sour which came without the foam that I did see on other drinks. When I pointed this out the waiter instantly remade it to my preference without much friction which, to me, is the most important sign of good service.Despite the 3 star rating, I can see coming back to Lilly's for a specialty cocktail but will likely eat before or after. Would probably give a 3.5 if I could."
