Lily's Bistro

We went with friends on Friday night. We had a 6:00 reservation, arrived early, and were seated early (at 5:45). The restaurant had a great ambiance. Our server Holly was GREAT! Yes, the prices are a bit high, but I had the $34 Chicken Parm, and it was enough for three meals; one at the restaurant and two at home. The pasta was 'al dente', which was alright, but I prefer my pasta softer. The calamari appetizer was slightly undercooked (but still good), and was plentiful, and served with the two delicious dipping sauces. The tiramisu came with hard chocolate chips on top, which I scraped off. I think most people prefer the soft and creaminess of tiramisu sans hard chocolate chips. Again, great ambiance, good food, and great service!We will be back during lunch to try some of their sandwiches!

This place is ridiculous! Their reviews on Google are fake! The food is horrible and so salty! The server was so rude and not forthcoming. In addition we inquired about the kids menu and they said they had one. Well they ended up charging us $29.00 for a lousy bowl of penne pasta with Alfredo sauce with no meat.And $6.00 for a side of broccoli. So $35.00 for a meatless kid's dish. The whole experience left a salty taste in our mouths literally, and the service was just bad! And you have to pay for bread before you get your meal. Get real!! Not a good option in the York/ Lake Wylie area. Don't go!

A group of 8 of us came for dinner. One guy in the group ordered the steak medium and it came out well-done, so he sent it back. When they brought out the next steak it was raw. He didn't eat it and they took it off his bill. I felt so sorry for him. So, I guess the lesson here is skip getting the steak. Everyone else enjoyed their dinner. My husband got the pork chop and really liked it. I got the seafood pasta and there was enough food for 2 meals. Definitely worth it.

This has to be one of the best restaurants we have been to since we moved here just over a year ago. The service was over the top amazing and the food devine. My husband had meatballs and spaghetti, and I had the Scottish salmon with wonderful risotto. The cheesecake dessert, which we shared, was so smooth and creamy. We will definitely be back. Just know, the portion sizes are large, but we have plenty for another meal, which we are looking forward to.

The food was very good, however, it's quite expensive for the ambiance (not great), waitress attire, etc. The expense, I felt, warranted better of the above mentioned.

Where do you even begin? Reservations definitely recommended, especially on weekends. From sign on door, closed Mondays. From your meeting with Maxine, the hostess with the mostess, this intimate family style restaurant is no joke in the portions department. Bring your appetite, or your special someone to "share" these enormous plates. Amazing appetizers to get the party started. Little something on the menu for every palate. I was smart... knowing we were sharing the Caprese Salad and the Calamari, I ordered from the kids menu. Small plate of penne fra diavlo (sp?). Perfect portion! Left overs for days. Pretty interesting desserts but absolutely no room after a hearty meal. Server Tito was awesome and a wealth of knowledge. Referring to freshly grated parmigiana as "Italian glitter".... I can't. Will be using that in my repertoire for sure. Second time here and can't stop raving. Priced accordingly. Private parking lot for venue.

Consistent food quality, love the mussels, fish dishes, the grilled Caesar. Great wine selection. Swell owner. It's our special spot, thank you

Everyone's palate is different. The prices are expensive for what you get. I ordered the penne with Gorgonzola sauce. I compared a $36 dish to a microwave meal. The crème brûlée was old, tasted like pudding that had been left out to long. If the details in plating matched the taste of the meal it would be better.

I was by myself and decided to sit at the bar. There was maybe 3 to 4 seats open. Mind you the bar isn't that big and there was only 2 to 3 people sitting. I was not allowed to sit at the bar. The reason I was given by the bartender was that the seats were reserved. I said I didn't know we could reserve seats at the bar and the hostess then responded saying normally they don't but that the bartender had been working there a long time. I was offered a table which I didn't take because I was only there to have a drink or 2. No more then 30min because I had to be somewhere else. Will not be coming back even though it was my first time there. 0 out 10 do not recommend

Outstanding food! Huge portions! Chicken parm is the best I've ever had. Calamari is worth it alone!
