Lily's

I brought friends visiting from Texas. We had a great time. Food was yummy. Service was wonderful. And such a lovely location to bring them to.

Lily's was lovely! Beautiful atmosphere. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The food was delicious. Great selection of food and dessert for everyone!

Perfect place to swim and eat with fun water activities like paddle boats and a water ball. Summer fun for the whole family.

Great little restaurant. I had the bacon goat cheese burger, it was one of best burgers I've ever had.

This place is so awesome in every respect that one must not miss it. The location is pristine by the lakeside, food is delicious and top quality, both preparation and portion wise and service of the most friendly and beautiful staff is something very special to experience.

GREAT service, lovely location and always knowledgeable and look after my food allergy needs. Celiac friendly!

I have only been there once so far. I think there isn't anything wrong with the food, I just ordered the wrong item, so will order something else next time. Atmosphere is relaxed, pleasant & pretty looking over Lily Lake. I was upstairs. I hear downstairs in summer is best. The service was wonderful. Everyone was so warm, welcoming & friendly. I think it would be an amazing place for brunch with the family.

You know how customers tend to exaggerate? Well, I won’t do that. Red raw meat in our cabbage rolls and crunchy uncooked rice at the buffet. Server blew it off without remedy. Complete rip-off. Had a feeling of selling off the weeks left overs that didn’t sell. Left feeling ripped off.

The food was superb. It was fresh seafood and fish. Our waitress (wish l knew her name) was very friendly and she knows what the dishes consist of. The view of Lily Lake is beautiful. We walked the trail after lunch on a sunny crisp day. We can't wait to take our friends and family there when they come to visit.

This is one of the best restaurants in have been, people are friendly, the service is great, and the food is amazing, not to mention the lake, which is a dream.

I visited the restaurant recently, and while the view of the lake was great, I was quite disappointed with the food. My friend and I ordered a chicken pesto panini and a Philly cheese steak sandwich. Unfortunately, the bread on the panini was totally burned out, which really detracted from the overall taste. Even worse, the Philly cheese steak sandwich didn't taste like a Philly cheese steak at all - there was no cheese to be found! All in all, I was quite disappointed with the experience, and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a satisfying meal.

The food was awesome. The seafood linguine was stuffed full of lobster, scallops and shrimp.

Our server Sara was absolutely phenomenal! She is incredibly sweet and very attentive. She makes it worth going back but the food was also very good!

Fantastic restaurant
From entry to exit it was a fabulous experience & when that happens on my wife's birthday then 5 stars all around! Thank you Jamie!

The meal was delicious. I definitely would recommend the steak dinner. Perfection. My husband was also well pleased with his fish and chips. The German Chocolate cake was to die for. Our server, Diane was so pleasant and helpful as well as fun to have serving us. Thank you to all the staff who made our visit so pleasant.

All right meals we ordered were enjoyed. Portion sizes were good, and the quality of the ingredients was obvious. The location is quaint and the service friendly. A tad on the pricey side given the casual atmosphere, but that's an observation rather than a complaint.

Incredible food and service! All the dishes we ordered were big portions and came with unbelievable and creative flavors. Tears dropping off the ground while eating. Fabulous sunset time lake view behind the restaurant. Wow! The lobster on the potatoes skin was amazing, 200% recommend!

I Was surprised realizing that the dining room was now located on the first floor. Service was excellent.

Got Atlantic Baked Seafood & Seafood chowder. Pricey but doesn’t taste good. The jasmine rice of atlantic baked seafood taste like a leftover rice, plus there is nothing special with their seafood sauce. The chowder is a disappointment as well. Overall, it’s not worth the money. Both of the meals I ordered doean’t taste good at all.

Wow, just WOW. We are new to the Saint John area and tried Lily's. Absolutely fantastic. My wife had the Seafood Linguine and I had the Atlantic Baked Seafood. The amount of seafood in each dish was impressive. We topped it off with one of the homemade desserts. In addition, our server Sara was outstanding and very very friendly. Thanks so much. We will be back.

Lily's Cafe has yet to disappoint! The classics are always delicious and the specials are always fresh and mouth watering. The view of the lake in the heart of the city is a plus for sure. The wait staff are helpful, fun and friendly.

Absolutely beautiful seafood chowder! Our entire meal was such a treat - full of deliciously fresh, quality ingredients.a true sensory delight! Thank you Lily's!

Had a great 80th birthday dinner at Lily’s today for our Mom. Food was fantastic, atmosphere was great, but the best part of the meal was our waitress, Dianne. She was friendly, fun and fantastic. A great mid-day visit that everyone should do. Thanks so much Lily’s, it was perfect. And thank you Dianne you were number one!

Always our first choice for eating out, specially during summer.
The best seafood chowder I’ve ever tasted here, I wish I would stop ordering it every single time.

Really can't go wrong with Lily's. Epic salads, great coffee, turkey gravy to die for, and perfect fish and chips. Enjoy a post-meal walk around the lake and you've got a perfect date.

Went today for their valentines special, amazing service and everything was so delicious and cooked to perfection, plus a great value for the money

Great pavilion and lovely surroundings, good service, interesting menu, shame food was disappointing

Got seafood chowders and potato skins with lobster. Pleasant experience and food is very fresh. Chowder was a bit too fatty though and potato skins could have had more flavour.

We had visitors from Massachusetts and took them to Lilly’s Friday and Saturday night both meals were outstanding Maratime salad blackened tacos chowder and philly steak sandwich all were perfect. On Friday our waitress was Charissa and on Saturday we had Maggie. The girls were perfect waitress’s. They were friendly informative and treated us like the most important people there. We loved the entire experience and will be back

The food and service was fantastic but the view from the patio, right on the water is next level. Great place for upscale casual dining.

The roasted beet and fried goat cheese salad was spectacular! The poutine was good, but average. The creamy dill salmon (special of the day) was actually weirdly bitter. The salmon was awfully bland, pale, and a bit overcooked to my liking. The steamed veggies on the side were also bland and unexciting. The bar was extremely limited and out of stock, even lacking the basic ingredients for an old fashioned.

We were the only ones here on Saturday night, which felt odd and cold. Unfortunately didn't get to enjoy the views which seemed like they would otherwise be beautiful!

The service was great! No rush despite out later arrival and very friendly.

If you come here, get the salad, and do so when you can enjoy the view!

Great location but sorry to say we had cassidia's and fries with gravy as a side. The cassidias were sparse of filling and really bland. Really wish we had a better experience.

Food was delicious and well presented, if I could tip just the cool I would have! The server could use some proper social skills. She was very abrupt and not very friendly.

The location is pretty and the menu pretty comprehensive. I had the famous nachos and they were good, but the sweet hoison on them just wasn't my fav. Would definitely go again and I do recommend.

Great location. Had mussels in curry. Curry was delicious but some of the mussels were really cold. The seafood chowder was delicious.

Good food, but a little pricier than similar restaurants. I really enjoyed dining on their patio with a beautiful view of the lake and the opposite shoreline.

Very amazing restaurant! Great ambience and location with history. Everyone enjoyed their food, the service was friendly and the energy of the place was very nice.

Our server Grace was so nice and efficient with our food orders and organizing the bills. Thank you!

We ordered the lobster roll and fish and chips. Both were excellent! This is a lovely little spot with a great patio.

Food was mediocre. Service was pathetically inefficient. Patio is on a pond, so I guess it deserves one star for that.

Amazing lobster poutine, a great patio with a good music selection for a refreshing meal after a swim.

I had a great late afternoon lunch. We ate on the deck. The day was sunny and Lily Lake had much activity with boats of many kinds. Our server was cheerful and very efficient. Our sandwiches and drinks were perfect.

Great service. Friendly and helpful staffs.
This is the only restaurant in this city with a beautiful lake view.
I will come back again.

Excellent food, fast and friendly service. So many good looking menu items it is hard to choose. We try something different each time we go and have never been disappointed.
