Reviews for Lily’s Restaurant & Lounge in Atlanta, GA
First con … $30 valet parking to literally park your car 5 steps from the front entrance.. $20 to park in the back parking lot... where I noticed on my way out I could’ve possibly parked for free on the other side .. why am I paying to park at yourestablishment where Im coming to spend money.. that’s like kroger charging me to park when I’m coming to buy groceries.Anyway the valet guy was cool he had an upbeat attitude about him we joked about parking … the security at the door he wasfriendly… the DJ was theeeeee bomb the bartender knew how to mix a drink … BUT the server was very nonchalant nothingfriendly about her she kept TRYING to cut me off .. I really hated that she got paid gratuity on my behalf because she wasn’tapologetic about having to take my overcooked lamb chops back twice. I waited almost 45 minutes altogether for my lamb chops.Each time they were overcooked and all she could say was the grill is probably up too high. I ended up canceling them after the2nd time and asked for the check. My husband had wings that tasted straight like the grease they were fried in. Mac n cheese wassoupy like. We went yesterday on Father’s Day they wasn’t crowded nor packed I’ll say it was about 10 different groupsthere all together. This a cool place to grab a drink and listen to some good music but it’s definitely overhyped as I see inthe other reviews. Read more
The ambiance is really nice. Food was goid the mac and cheese lobster ???? with shrimp ???? was phenomenal. The lamb was... excellent. Chicken and waffles was fluffy and very tasty. The drinks were not that strong . I woukd suggest just getting thelarge mimosas if you are in a big group just for the look. Only thing I think they need to work on is training the waitress tobe more attentive. We actually had the opportunity to have 2 waitresses because they were training. But they still failed tocome check on us. Read more
Made a reservation for my birthday dinner! They sat my party right on time which was a plus! Atmosphere was a vibe, nice... ambiance, music and decor! Service was a little blah she could have been more attentive had to track her down for our check! Ialso did not like the table by the door, it was very cold that night and too many people coming in and out! The parking is alsonot the best but it’s Buckhead so you can expect that! We ordered drinks, food and hookah. The food was delicious and reason Igave it 4 stars! All of our dishes was very good so shout out to the chef! Read more
We enjoyed the atmosphere at Lilys! They were out of a few key cocktail ingredients which made it difficult to order drinks but... the drinks were good. The food was great and the service was outstanding! Hookah was a great addition. Food came out fast, someof our group meals weren’t the correct temperature. Spinach was yummy, mashed potatoes were old. Read more
Parking was $20 & fluctuates through the day. We sat outside and the vibe was nice and warm. I had lamb chops, mixed veggies and... mashed potatoes. Smashed it all.. would've preferred a more laid back vibe versus trap rap but maybe that's another day. Read more
Food was SURPRISINGLY good. I came with a party of 6 and everyone said the food was good as well. One guest in our dinner party... ordered the Fried Lobster & Jumbo Shrimp Mac & Cheese and rated it a 7/10. I ordered the Salmon Dinner which is served withyellow rice, grilled veggies, over a lemon butter sauce and I also got a side of Mac & Cheese. My food was a 9/10. The salmondid taste just a tad bit dry, but nothing egregious. The food wasn’t salty. I was worried that it would be salty because Istill have bad taste in my mouth from the salmon I had from Blaze Steak and Seafood a couple weeks ago. Now let’s talk aboutthe atmosphere. This is definitely a bias opinion because (a) I didn’t choose to eat at this restaurant (birthday dinner) and(b) I don’t frequent lounge-type places often. So with that being said, I could do without the loud music (the music was goodthough) and the hookah smoke. I’m literally coughing on my way home from the amount of smoke I probably breathed in. But hey,if that’s your thing, I’m sure you would like this place. The people dining were laidback, enjoying the music. It wasn’trowdy. Some folks were casual and others were dressed up. I would say lean more on the casual side. Standard service. Everyonewe interacted with—host, server, food runner—never did anything wildly upsetting. The bathroom is not that clean andinviting. Look for street parking if you don’t want to pay for parking at the restaurant. Other reviews said the parking washigh, so we didn’t even bother with it. Read more
My two girlfriends and I came for brunch this weekend and we will definitely be back. The parking was easy, we were seated... immediately (had a reservation) and the food came out fast and was flavorful. We ordered a pitcher of the mimosas, which wasenough for the 3 of us (about 3 1/2 glasses each person). We ordered a hookah which pulled during our entire visit. The DJ knewhow to get people dancing and definitely played them hits! Overall, great experience. I would definitely recommend to friendsand family. Read more
The Bestie and I came here for our first time, for dinner. You have the option to either dine inside or outside and of course we... chose, outside. We made dinner reservations, which I recommend doing. You can partake in Hookah. We tried the blueberry mistalong with watermelon and it was GOOD HUNTY! For an appetizer, I ordered the calamari rings. For a drink, we had the strawberrysmash (I think that's the name)! For dinner , she ordered the lamb chops with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Myself, I had thefried lobster and shrimp over mac n cheese, which was delicious by the way. The music was on point and the vibes were evenbetter. If you're looking for a grown and sexy spot, this is your spot! Enjoy! Read more
