We had a really nice time here. Their food is delicious and the cocktails are also really good. The steak was cooked perfectly The setting felt intimate and there was live music which was really good and not overbearingly loud. If you like French onion soup, it's a must try here. Definitely not on the cheaper side but worth it.
Always enjoy it . Live music, good food and good service ??

Loved everything about this place. The bldg is gorgeous. The food is amazing (just wish there were a few more choices on the entree section). Heads up... it's loud, especially the live band. But it was worth it overall. Not the best spot for larger parties. Great to meet up with friends and share a great meal!! And try the Airmail! Btw... patio was adorable. Too cold in Feb to sit outside but we will be back I'm sure!

Service was fine and ambience was nice. But the food was mediocre at best and not the appropriate quantity for the price. I have been to many afternoon teas at many places and I would say this was the most disappointing. Don't waste your money.
Party of 2 for tea and my friend was 40 min late meeting me! (It was raining, lots of accidents) and the ladies at Lillies were so nice and let me keep my table and wait for her for as long as I needed. And served me while I waited. The food was incredible. It is the only place I've ever seen a Violet mimosa (grape) and it was Amazing! Beautiful ambiance, piano player, 10/10 recommend
Great atmosphere although the music (band) is a bit loud for having a conversation. Food is

Classic hotel restaurant in vibrant DT Culver City. The outdoor heat lamps provided warmth, the busy Saturday night crowd kept servers busy, and the jazz trio provided a mellow distraction.
Service was slow and inattentive. It was 10 mins before someone came by and we got to ask for water. We had to flag down server several times when we needed something, rather than a simple “is everything in order?” Most of the sandwiches were good, except the egg salad, which was mostly egg whites and little flavor. Dessert treats not inspiring. I love the idea of tea but didn't find anything special here with a $400+ bill for the four of us.

THe ambience is lovely, as everyone seems to agree. The food? not as wonderful. We had the afternoon tea, which was much less than we expected given the price of $65 per person. Small amounts, and nothing really outstanding. The fresh fruit with whipped cream was great, but the 3 minuscule desserts were not nearly as tasty as they looked. Service was excellent, very nice staff, but overall, I was very disappointed and will probably never return for their tea. Other meals I've had here have been ok.... not great, but ok.

I love bringing friends and family who are visiting me from out of state to Lillies for brunch. The history or the hotel and outdoor space is a lot of fun. However, my only gripe is if you're a local (or even if you're not and just visiting) and want to drop in to have a drink on a Friday night, be prepared to spend $25 for a glass of red wine. I asked for their "house wine" and this was the price I paid. I understand going out isn't cheap anymore but this is getting insane and honestly, the wine was just ok. Aside from the crazy pricing, the staff is awesome- very personable and attentive and I still recommend checking this place out.
