Bistro Lilly

I visited Bistro Lilly last weekend to attend a friends birthday. We decided on the degustation which I'm glad we did. It was definitely worth the money and better than I have ever experienced around Sydney and the presentation was beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed the pork belly and the chocolate and salted caramel tart was delicious! I would recommend the restaurant to anyone who enjoys good food and service at a great price.

Our experience with this restaurant is appalling. For such an establishment the service is atrocious. They are arrogant, which is very surprising given they're in the food industry. (It's not five star guys!)

We have had dinner here on Two occasions in the last 12 months and both times have been extremely delightful. The first occasion was my partners birtday. When we booked we were asked " Was it a Special occassion" we mentioned that we were celebrating a Birthday. We arrived and were greeted by the staff and given a lovely table and two complimentary glasses of Bubbly. After we enjoy a wonderful entree and Main Course my partners Dessert was presented on a large white plate with "Happy Birtday Alex" written in large Chocolate letters. This was fanastic and we planned to return.We returned here last week and found the same high standard of service and Food

A fantastic meal, the staff go out of their way to make sure everything is perfect. The lovely soft lighting is very cosy

We just had dinner at Bistro Lilly an hour ago and we are extremely disappointed with the attitude of the staff (especially the elderly looking lady in black). I have read similar comments on eatability.com about this lady who was very rude, unfriendly and uninviting. A friend gave us a voucher yesterday and whilst we all had social functions today (and were quite full), we decided to book a table for 3 at 630pm to have dessert and drinks. When we arrived, we were shown to our table and wanted to order dessert and drinks. The lady in black approached us and said the following in a very condescending manner, "We are a proper restaurant and we do not just allow people to order dessert and drinks." We mentioned that we wanted to use a voucher that a friend gave us and she said in a very rude manner, "Well, everyone has those vouchers. You have to order a main each. Okay?" We looked at each other after she left and were shocked at how rude she was. Rules are rules and we would have been fine with it but the way she delivered it was absolutely offensive and reflected a lack of refinement in manners and perhaps proper education. We decided to order a reasonably priced bottle of wine($75), three mains (one for each person) and a dessert. We were already full but decided to give it a go. The food was average to good and the waiter and waitress were nice but the experience with the lady in black who was in charge just spoiled everything. We paid our bill and spoke to the lady and below is the exchange: Me: Hi there, I just wanted to give some feedback. (Note: I said this as pleasantly as I could with a smile and there were two of us.) Lady in Black: Yes? Me: I just wanted to tell you that we understand that rules are rules but the way you delivered it was very offensive. Perhaps next time you could tone it down a bit? Lady in Black: Did you have a booking? (Note: I honestly do not see what this question was all about and why a booking or lack of booking would merit rudeness.) Me: Yes, we actually did at 630pm. As I said, it is not so much the rules that we found offensive but your delivery of it. Lady in Black: Fine! (Note: She said this in a very cold manner) There was not even an apology or an explanation that it was not her intent to be rude or offensive. That lady lacked class and as previously mentioned by other customers reflected a rude, unfriendly and uninviting persona. The other staff are actually good and warm and the food was average to great (we loved our Belgian Chocolate Dessert) but this lady needs to go back to school to learn basic manners

Nice restaurant but nothing out of the ordinary. Service was really good, set menu was good value but choice was very limited.

My Wife and i dined here last week and we decide to experience the 5 Course Degustation, Lovely food and a very enjoyable evening. Staff were very attentive and professional

Had a wonderful dinner here last week. Started with the scallops and they were excellent fresh juicy and cooked to the perfection. My partner had the special chicken & crab entree and while small was very good. The Barrimundi for main course was also great. Service was very attentive ,friendly and professional.Great value and worth another visit

I had the 5-course degustation and my male friend had the 5-course degustation with matching wine. While the wines are all excellent and match with the courses very well, the degustation is not extremely well structured, and is quite ordinary in my opinion. Would give the wine a 10 while food a 7. The ravioli is very nice though. Ambience and service are good. Overal an 8 out of 10.

Cafe food at bistro prices!

Very good food, but service was in-attentive at times, although friendly when we finally got the attention of the staff. It was not busy on Monday night, which affected the ambience negatively, at least for me.

good service from the host and table attendant ..

The setting was romantic and spacious. I loved the all the candles. The staff were efficient and food was amazing. cant wait to go back

I booked my boss and his guests in for a business/celebratory dinner, and all attendees said the experience was superb, and the menu tasted like it read....delicious....brownie points for me and Bistro Lilly...thank you....

Nice restaurant with pleasant service. Food was good and well presented. Desserts are absolutely fabulous (tried the Gelato with dessert wine and coffee combo).

Excellent location for a special dinner. Fish was very tasty and the deserts are to die for. Highly Recommended

Excellent food and wonderful night.

Excellent. Great Value and an ideal place for that romantic dinner
