“The food is mid”

“I would definitely not have lunch at Lillie’s. Go for drinks and to take photos, but eat somewhere with better food. The brunch menu is safe boring food that you can get at home - except at NYC prices.”

“The decor is magical...tons of intricate woodwork, twinkly lights, and seasonal decorations. It feels like eating in a fairytale, but the menu still works for kids.”

“I dined at lillies for the first time a few weeks ago before seeing a show. It was great, the steak was incredible.”

“my experience dining at the W 49th Lillie’s IRKED me because of the customer service from the subpar bartender who served me and my friends. He BARELY acknowledged us and when he did, he had this snarky passive aggressive attitude as if he didn’t care to help us and forgot we were there.”

“Personally I think it’s just on the line of being too cheesy, but not as bad as Oscar Wilde if you’ve ever been there. It’s fine as a bar but I wouldn’t sit down and have a meal there.”

“a pretty decent menu that has steak frites and some other nice entrees.”
H2
“That said, for nice atmosphere, moderate prices (for Manhattan), and nice American/Continental food, I recommend Cafe Luxembourg or Lillie's Victorian Establishment for lunch or dinner”

“Stick with Lillie’s. It’s touristy in the way that most everything in that area is, but I wouldn’t call it a tourist trap, and I’ve gone with other local people a couple of times after shows.”

“Lillie's and Tony's are some consistently average places to eat. I don't mean that in a bad way at all! They are solid staples, serving consistent quality, that my family and I go to every so often when we want something without any fuss and know we can get into easily.”
H2
“Every one of us agreed the food was pretty awful, and the drinks were sugar bombs. It has stuck out as one of the worst meals I’ve had out in many, many years”
H2
“Which is probably closer to the Oscar Wilde vibe you were going for, I just dig the other places for their decor and vibe”
