The food was outstanding. The crust on their empanadas was the best crust I’ve ever had. Amazing fresh flavors. I highly recommend this restaurant.

What a GREAT meal and experience! We sat at the chef's counter, had the chopped beef bao, kimchi, ssam set with NY steak, charred cabbage. Service was flawless - attentive, approachable, and lovely from start to finish. Chef at the counter made us feel welcome and invited us to ask questions throughout the meal - not that we really had any but it was a nice service touch we don't often see in a town with plenty of chef's counters. Food was wonderful, the ssam set was refreshing, sauces well balanced and punchy, meat cooked to perfection, pickles were killer. My first time since it was Renata, I love the rebuild and how much more comfortable and inviting the space feels. Can't wait to go back!

Great mid/budget level prix fixe menu, with big taste and value for your buck. Not a meticulously crafted journey, but rather great individual dishes with a good mixture of comfort food and more delicate flavor experiences. A smash hit for the price point – definitely coming back.

What an absolutely great experience we had at Lilia! The entire staff was amazing, the food was delicious, the wine was sooo good, and the service and attention were incredible. The two ladies who took care of us were outstanding! I’m so bad with names and unfortunately don’t remember theirs but it was a tall lady and a younger, shorter lady lol. They were both amazing and made us feel so special the entire night. Thank you so much for making our anniversary dinner so special! We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!

This restaurant is always amazing. I mistakenly booked a reservation for the wrong date and the hostess was able to find a table for us. Our server Adam was kind and informative.
