Lily’s Dayton

“Wonderful staff and even the other customers were nice. This is the most pleasant experience I have ever had at a restaurant and the food was absolutely amazing. I loved the food and so did my husband. We thank the staff for being so kind and providing us with and excellent experience.”

“Lily’s has been one of my favorite places for years, but I’ve never left a review before now. This is the best brunch spot in the Dayton area. Beyond the incredible food, Lily’s represents the best of Dayton. From giving out free Thanksgiving meals to the Dayton community to hosting inclusive events, Lily’s has always been a gem in Gem City. Regarding the food, the BLT&E has been my go-to brunch item, but the breakfast burritos and hangover bowls are amazing as well. Lily’s brunch potatoes are incredible: crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and seasoned perfectly. The grapefruit mimosa is always a refreshing brunch pairing. The staff is always friendly and the light atmosphere is inviting and perfect for dates and get-togethers. Whether looking for brunch or dinner, you cannot go wrong with Lily’s.”

“The restaurant is so cute, eclectic, and so clean! Our server tonight was Jamie, and she was damn near the best server I’ve ever had! Her recommendations were spot on, her hospitality was unmatched, and it was a wonderful experience. I went with some coworkers, and we all tried different things, and we shared 3 appetizers. EVERYTHING we tried was so yummy I will be coming back with friends, and am so glad I found this little gem! If you stop by, make sure to ask for Jamie if she’s serving—or a drink recommendation if she’s your bartender!”

“Visited on a Tuesday right after they opened for dinner service. Was seated immediately, informed of the specials, and welcomed very warmly! I looked over the menu, asked for some advice for certain menu items and made some solid choices. The deviled eggs were wonderful and this day a kimchi flavor! I also had the Yuzu Glazed Pot Roast, which was tender, flavorful, and filling (it did lack some salt but that may just be personal preference for myself). Service was wonderful and the drinks good. The signature cocktail I tried “Whiskey Jacket” was a bit too sweet, maybe a little on the maplely side but still a good choice! They also make a very solid Old Fashioned!”

“Visited on a Sunday for brunch around 11. Restaurant was busy and we were recommended to make reservations, however we were able to get a table for two with very little wait. Food was delicious and service was excellent and quick. We ordered the Hangover Bowl, Meat Omelette, and Fried Chicken and Waffle Sandwich. I ordered a side of bacon with a side of Cajun Butter for my waffle. The portions sizes are a good size and the omelette and waffle sandwich are highly recommended. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area.”
