A great establishment for food and drinks. Vast range of craft beer, lagers, cocktails and spirits. Extensive and super food. Hard working and attentive staff. Visited many times during our stay in NYC

Really great interior. Very high ceilings, ornaments, paintings. Really long bar, with hundreds of bottles of spirits. The food is okay. Definitely worth visiting. Central location.

It is a great place but falls short with the promotional beer glasses,shakers and etc....sports network playing on a flat screen kind of takes away from the atmosphere and rude bar service. Has potential of a blast from the past with a great twist and is over all a great place but misses the mark... Not welcoming or friendly staff

This is a great place. Sheer laziness tempted me to copy and paste my review for the Union Square location here; great restraint has been exercised. It's only fair, they didn't just copy and paste the restaurant.

The Times Square location is the same but different. Fitting an establishment inspired by the great Lillie Langtry be located in the theater district. (I didn't know who she was either. . .)

I like Lillie's. It is a knockout, Irish Victorian pretty. So much attention has gone into the decor I'm not certain how long they'll need to operate to become profitable!

It is eye catching, sitting up front I watched everyone, I mean everyone walk by on the street and perform their best double take and linger, almost nose to glass to take it all in. Tall ceilings, dripping in dark wood and marble and brass.

A Duvel Green, Corn chowder and steak frites on this visit. Very tasty! Great service, all around a good experience.

Newly opened and living up to the reputation it has gained on 17th street... The food was delicious, I had the chicken pot pie, and the interior is incredible. Seems like they were meticulous when designing this space.

We stopped in for brunch before seeing a show. We absolutely loved the holiday decor and the food! The service was just okay, it took a long time to get anything, and after asking for the check it took close to 15 minutes for the server to return. The table next to us ordered eggs which still hadn't come out 30 mins after receiving the rest of their order.

Super cute decorations. The cocktails were cute/pretty/fancy but I wouldn't say my drink was particularly good. That said, I really loved the decor and would be totally willing to give it another try. The staff was AMAZING. We just wanted to grab a quick drink and preferred a table. They allowed us to occupy a table for 45 minutes before the reservation came in. Thank you to the staff!!!

This place is definitely one of the most Instagrammable places we've been to so far. We went around Halloween, and the decoration was awesome. Very detailed, with even animated dolls. But the environment is not all and this place deserves a detailed review. Unfortunately, the attention was not the best. We made a reservation, and the person in the reception was not in a very good mood (not only with us, but with everybody). Besides, by the time we reached, the restaurant was only with a few tables occupied, but still we were sent to a small table very close to one occupied. The other customers and us made fun of the situation. The waitress came asking what we were going to order, but we didn't even receive the menu. I must say that the waitress was kind, but later we realized that she was the only one attending orders in the whole restaurant. In any case, we ordered two main dishes and two drinks. One main dish came so fast, but it took a while until the other dish was brought. This would be fine, but the funny part is that the drinks also take quite a while, and the water was brought only after. The food and drinks were good, but of course with the difference of time in the arrival, I finished much before my boyfriend. Finally, when we finished, we had to wait quite a while for having the check. And some other time to really pay. Again, I must highlight that the waitress was very kind, but in some point there was more and more people, and she got very busy taking the orders of all the tables. There were waiters and waitresses serving the food, but only she was taking orders. The restaurant is not small, so having 2 people wouldn't be a bad idea. In conclusion, a recommended place to go in special celebrations (Halloween , Christmas), especially for taking photos.

Wow! This restaurant is so impressive. The decorations are stunning and so festive (we were there during Christmastime). Every staff member we interacted with was so kind - which was also very impressive as the bar and restaurant were so, so busy. If you’re interested in going for dinner, I highly suggest making a reservation (I got mine that day by stalking the Resy app for cancellations!). They seated us almost immediately upon entering. The food was good and the cocktails fun! I can’t wait to go back for another season and see the decorations then.

This is was our first time visiting Lillie’s and we were pleasantly surprised to get in due to the holiday popularity. We were in love with all the Victorian and Christmas decor. The food and drinks were amazing. Our waiter, Devan was so charming, attentive and a joy to talk to. He gave great recommendations and was so warm and friendly. Would definitely return just to have him as our waiter again!

We came for Brunch on Christmas Eve and had a great time. We were worried because we were out with our 18 month old but all was well. The music wasn't too loud and they gave us a boaster chair. I did notice a few more babies on my way out without a chair so they may have a very limited amount. They originally sat us by the door but we asked for a different table because of the draft. They accommadated us and gave us a booth. This worked out perfect for the boaster seat. Baby and I loved the Chicken and Waffles. Hubby liked the steak and eggs. The homefries was just ok. We got chocolate cake for dessert and it was yummy. We loved the decor. Overall this meal was a great start to our holiday packed day! There was not a changing station in the bathroom I visited and I do think it would have been hard to change her had we needed to.

We found Lillie's by accident and was pleasantly surprised. As we walked through the door, we were taken back in time to when beauty and wonder from Victorian days gone by. With its beautiful floral decor, its detailed cocktails served with a smile and grace. This is a perfect place to take someone for a special date, even your little one who would like nothing more than to dress uo and be transported into a storybook tea party! We will certainly return and have tea with Michelle, who served us with her a kind heart and soul!

We've been to this location a couple of times, and the food is excellent. The atmosphere is always festive, and the Halloween theme was awesome. Our biggest feedback is that our wait staff did not come back to refill waters, or really for anything. We found out that they charge for coffee refills, but it didn't matter because when we asked, they "ran out of coffee" 30 minutes into brunch service...huh?! The croque madam was probably one of the best I've had, and my friend's chicken and waffles were good but served on a very strange narrow wood platter, making it very challenging to eat. We will return, but I really hope they get the staff situation figured out.

The decorations and service were excellent! The food was good for a bar, but so-so for a restaurant. Overall, 5, maybe a ~4ish on the food. Great experience. I’d absolutely still recommend it.

If you are looking for a different place with a unique atmosphere, this is where to go! Great music and cocktails but the best part is the decoration which make it a very special cosy place! Staff was lovely too

Had a couple of drinks each here. The bartenders were really friendly and quick to make everything. The decor was so cool too! Fun to see Halloween up still too with all this Christmas around 😁

I give 4 starts and it’s purely for the decorations. We didn’t have the reservation so we have been told to sit at the bar. Little they forgot to mention there were no seats at the bar. So after been scathing for few minutes we decided to leave as we tried to ask when the seats could be available but no one ever answered them. That’s the careless attitude you get when the place is very popular and they would always have customers no matter what

I visited this bar last night in Manhattan to catchup over a drink with my buddy. Overall very nice place, good atmosphere and a very nice bar. We had a couple of different cocktails that were excellent. We also snacked on potatoes wedges and gosh, I couldn’t stop eating those. I highly recommend coming here.

OMG. The perfect dating spot. I had a blast at Lillie’s Victorian Establishment, what a place! Great food. Incredible vibes, the whole place was actually singing at the end of the evening. The food was amazing and you really can’t compete with the amazing “Alice in Wonderland” environment. I totally fell into this rabbit hall, WOW. What a place! 💕🎊💕

It’s a nice restaurant but could be better. The food it’s okay but I expected for much better plates. The service was good except for the host who was rude just because we arrived a little bit late for our reservation.
