Reviews for Lilac City Grille in Rochester, NH
Met a friend here for lunch. I was immediately put off by the stale bleach smell (anyone who has ever worked at a restaurant... knows what I'm talking about). The menu options were all over the place and did not give any kind of cohesion to the atmosphere.The same could be said for the physical surroundings. It was somewhere in between a bar and an event room, and very dark. Thebathrooms were not accessible, nor was the entrance. When our food came-I ordered a Cesar salad with grilled chicken-it wasincredibly boring. The chicken was very dry and the lettuce pieces were huge. The dressing was white and indistinguishable frommy friend's, who ordered something different. The staff were very nice and the service was fine, but I would not go again. Read more
Bad experience, bartender almost refused to serve me a beer because..well, something to do with covid and not chasing me around... the bar. Manager said she had no experience and I should just be happy a got a beer (basically). Sweet, can't wait to goback..not. Read more
Went there last night and had a very rude greeting from the hostess . Waitress was okay . But not the best service to our table... specific. Food took very long and had no flavor. & the live music was way to much . Read more

We went last night for the first time. Tables were full so we opted to sit at the bar?..and it was a great decision. The... bartender, Jake, was super friendly and Berra attentive to all of the customers at the bar. I had the Jalepeno Burger withfries, and it was amazing. Danielle chose the salad with salmon and it was equally as good. Food, drinks, atmosphere and servicewere all too notch. Will certainly be going back. Read more
Sit-down dining room style. Quite a lengthy wait for two meals, so we were able to catch up on our resurfacing social lives.... Live music upstairs! The food was good. Municipal parking nearby. Read more
Caring but slow (I'm mean very slow) service. We ordered our current usual order---mozz sticks and bacon cheeseburger cooked... medium. The cheese somehow cooked out of the moz sticks leaving only the crust on most of them. The burger was cooked mediumbut was excessively charred, like solid black charred. I don't like plain, non-flavorful food but this was a burnt delight inevery bite. Probably won't be back...very sad. Read more
Our favorite place! Our favorite bar tender is Kim. She's so pleasant and accommodating. The food is always fresh and seasoned... perfectly. Read more
