Have been wanting to try this local spot in the Dayton oregon district for a while now. Were able to get a last minute reservation on a Saturday night for four and were pleased to be seated right away. Our waiter was excellent. Very friendly and accommodating, gave excellent recommendations. Cocktails were great, especially the pineapple French 75. I personally loved everything we ate but unfortunately not everyone I was with agreed. Their menu isn't made up of super heavy filling meals which I appreciated. We were able to get appetizers and dinner and not feel like we ate a whole buffet. My salmon was great and perfectly filling and the Mac and cheese was great. Would definitely say this is a great spot for a younger crowd and I will certainly be back for their brunch!!

Go all in and make a reservation!! My husband and I really enjoy our brunches at Lily's. The drinks are on point, the service is fantastic and the food is delicious. The vegan options are plentiful, which I appreciate because my husband likes their carnivore options so we both leave happy! I have ordered the vegan breakfast burrito, the vegan hangover bowl, and the poke bowl. All good options that I would order again based on my mood. He usually gets the chicken and waffle sandwich. The sugar pearls are something you have to experience! So fun! He also likes the chorizo burrito and devil eggs of the day! I enjoy the patio when the weather is warmer because it can get pretty loud inside but not unbearable. The staff are the friendliest and kindest!!! We cannot recommend Lily's enough!

I made a reservation for five people during their annual January oyster festival. It was our first time at Lily's, but after our experience, we will be back next time in Dayton. We arrived a few minutes early and were seated. The restaurant is a lot bigger than it appears from the outside. Lily's has a full bar and a creative cocktail menu. The hostess was excellent and checked in on us, and our server was personable and friendly. I started the night off with the Figgy-Espresso martini. It didn't disappoint and the fig syrup added something extra. The table ordered deviled eggs, Which was delicious and Aloo Tiki Potato 'Croquettes' which had an amazing Indian twist. We then ordered raw oysters with all the fixings - the Oysters were fresh and ready to slam back, and we did. We also ordered Lilys version of New Orleans Rockefeller oysters, altho these were a miss, it didn't dampen the experience. For dinner I ordered the Bahn Mi Wagyu Smash Burger - so freaking good. I did have to ask for more mayo, but that was a personal choice.

I made reservations for Lily's as soon as I saw a photo of their figgy pudding on instagram. I've never had figgy pudding before but I am now a huge fan! Basically it's gingerbread with caramel sauce. Absolutely divine! Before dessert my husband and I shared three of their appetizers. The bao buns and pork gyoza which are both favorites of ours and then we tried their rumaki which was delicious as well. Our server, Megan, was fantastic. She was friendly and attentive without hovering. I like cocktails on the sweeter side and when I asked if a specific drink was sweet, she ended up bringing a little extra simple syrup on the side in case I wanted to add it. We have been to Lily's many times throughout the years and have always had fantastic meals and very friendly and efficient service. One of our favorite restaurants in Dayton!

Stopped in for brunch. Reservations are recommended too btw. We had some beignets which ended up being dessert. I had the hangover with Cajun sausage gravy (there are 2 other options) and my companion had an Eggs Benedict with Salmon. Our food was served promptly, hot and delicious. Our server was attentive without being over present. All in all, it was very relaxed and enjoyable. The decor is inviting and calming.

Looking for brunch in the Dayton area? This place is a fantastic choice. Convenient parking across the street with a fun, funky and vibrant energy that will definitely keep you coming back for more. I started with the light and fluffy beignets, covered in powderes sugar and a side of strawberry jam. It's a must try! I tried the shrimp and grits and the vegetarian hangover bowl. Both were so savory and tasty. The shrimp and grits were very flavorful with slight kick from the andouille sausage. The hangover bowl was hearty and sage forward which I loved. Tons of options for vegetarians which is really awesome. I'm looking forward to coming back. It fills up fast, so call ahead if you want to avoid the wait! The service was friendly and made great suggestions on the food.

Perhaps my most favorite restaurant in this area. I love the unique cuisine and people that provide outstanding food and service. Everything is fun and delicious when I dine here. The only critique I have is that I would like the servers to proactively share about the quantity of the food items I order. My meal portion was small and I would have ordered something else had I known. Loved that we had the choice of dining inside or on the beautiful patio. We chose the patio and it was perfect for us. Look forward to our next visit.

We popped into Lily's Bistro for a late lunch on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Situated in the Oregon District, the location offered convenient parking and a vibrant atmosphere. Arriving later in the day allowed us to be seated and served quickly with refreshments and beignets. My wife enjoyed a Bourbon Sunset, which truly tasted like a resort cocktail, while I enjoyed a classic Old Fashioned made with New Riff Rye. The beignets, dusted with sugar and served with raspberry jam, provided a good start For our main dishes, we chose the Lox Bagel and a Poke Bowl with salmon-- a tasty alternative to the unavailable Ahi Tuna. The salmon was seared, remaining tender inside, and paired with avocados, jalapeños, pickled onions, and savory sauce. The Lox Bagel was a hit too, with smoked salmon, boiled egg, pickled red onions, and a smooth whipped herb cream cheese topping. The bistro also impressed us with their smashed potatoes, which were crunchy outside and smooth on the inside I highly recommend Lily's Bistro in the OD for anyone looking for a city brunch spot. The eclectic ambiance and excellent service, especially if Chuck is your server, are sure to enhance your experience!
