Named after the genus of the trees in the quaint Linden Hills neighborhood where it resides, Tilia serves Chef Steven Brown and his team’s renditions of familiar fare from an open kitchen in an authentic, casual room that feels like it’s been there forever.
“Super great date spot, awesome in the summer, cozy in the winter. Food is on point here - I love the burger. Staff is what does it for me too, easily the nicest people ever here, great food and drink recommendations every time. Could not recommend more.”
“Everything we tried for dinner was delicious and service was great. We ordered fries, kids fish and chips, steak tartare, hanger steak, cheese burger, and the risotto. The hanger steak, fries, and risotto were our favorites. The risotto was far from traditional and yet probably one of the best in the cities and the fries lived up to the hype. The burger was good but a bit on the sweet side with the jam and the tartare was good with a bit of a spicy kick. Reservations highly recommend. For anyone worried about the cook of the steak in the picture, we ordered medium well so they will definitely cook it more rare if that's your preference.”
“I had forgotten how excellent this restaurant is. We stopped in for brunch and every dish was perfect. The portions are generous and the service team is attentive. Make a reservation and enjoy!”
“We got gazpacho, the risotto, and the waygu rigatoni and it was all amazing. Waiter was very helpful in choosing and providing a description of the menu and flavors.”
“My friend and I went there for a Saturday brunch and my experience was overall pleasant. Everything was smooth ranging from seating to our server approaching us at a reasonable time to our food served at a good time. The only reason I would give a 4 would be due to food taste. It was good but not spectacular, and some items were better than others, which I will elaborate on very soon. I recommend the Benedict, first of all. The salad was a standard salad with leaves, but the muffins were very tasty! The ham was soft and succulent. The eggs were well-poached so as soon as I broke it, the yoke was starting to cover the muffin. The hollandaise sauce was a bit sweet but it accompanied the savory very well! I also loved the beet salad, as it contained a mixture of yellow beets and red beets, along with pecans, goat cheese, and even orange slices. It wasn't a common combination but it definitely worked! The brown butter vinaigrette accompanied everything very well, too. I will definitely get the beet salad again when I return here at some point. The turkish eggs were good as well because they had the right ingredients: dill, garlic yogurt, and roasted tomato. These ingredients represented some of the most common elements seen in Turkish dishes. I just wasn't sure if it would classify the item as "Turkish eggs" but this one could just be me being ignorant! Regardless, the taste was good and I enjoyed it! However, the Cacio y Pepe was mediocre at best. The parmesan mixture was too soupy and didn't really stick to the pasta, which meant the temperature wasn't hot enough when mixing cheese and water. It also didn't feel like the parmesan was Parmigiano Reggiano as there was some powdered texture, but I could be wrong on that one; adding some Pecorino Romano may help more. I also didn't think rigatoni was the right type of pasta because experiencing a dish like cacio e pepe should be rolling a fork around a stringy type of pasta like linguine or fettuccine. Overall good experience and I would definitely recommend this establishment to those visiting the area! Enjoying some Sebastian Joe's ice cream afterwards and visiting Wild Rumpus, the bookstore, right after brunch would definitely complete the experience even more.”
