Lilly's Italian Eatery

Five stars all around, to the service, the ambience, the wine selection and the food. A must try is the Korean Fried Cauliflower. Deliciously crunchy yet perfectly moist with just the right amount of savoury. The mains prove to be a healthy serving size of culinary delights. The Roaster, gnocchi, fish and braised beef each got the thumbs up. Closing out the meal is cheesecake to die for that even the Golden Girls themselves would relocate from Miami. And made on the premises too. Will definitely be going back when I visit Midland again.

Love it there. Would love to go more often.????

My family and I enjoyed our experience at Lily's. The food was great. The service was great. Beautiful local ingredients. Ontario garlic in the Caesar salad could be felt.

An intimate, lively and laid back experience. Lilly's has a modern restaurant appearance with a traditional family restaurant approach one can sense the moment they walk in the door.
From that point of walking in they do everything right. Service is personal, immediate, casual and fun. The staff are engaged and friendly. They like being at work. Apathy is not in their vocabulary.
The wine, cocktail and beer menus are well planned with selection. All the right choices, no repetition and something for all.
The food menu has just the right amount of variety and choice. Hits the Italian greatest hits with some influence from other cuisines to make the menu an unexpected pleasure.
Servings are the exact right size. You will not leave hungry nor feeling overstuffed. It's just the right balance which dining should be.
It's a total experience. Do not go in thinking you can half a half hour meal and make a 7pm movie. This is your evening experience and the time spent is worth it.
My wife and I had desert, a main and dessert. We were with her parents, two friends and our 7 week old son. We came away feeling cared for and respected.
Our server found a candle for our homemade cheesecake knowing it was my wife's birthday. They unfortunately were out of birthday candles and he went beyond to make sure she had something to celebrate the dessert. I'm not a dessert eater and I would have this cheesecake daily.
I have worked in restaurants for 25 years, managed for 20 years in small independent venues to running large corporate stores. Lily's does an incredible job combining the two worlds. The family and the staff should be proud of what they have achieved.
If you have the chance book a table a Lilly's. It is dining in the truest sense. You are there to enjoy, eat, drink and experience in the company of friends; the ones you brought with you and the ones that work there.

We were advised to make a reservation so we first tried online booking from their site. This is not functioning at this time. I called and left message to make reservation for 5 pm at around 2 pm. They open for 4:30 pm. I never got a call back and we decided to go anyway. I mentioned this to I suspect the owner who greeted us at the door and she was apologetic and said she would see what happened. They took us in with no reservation. They were booked pretty solid for the night. The decor was nice the food was good very tasty. We had regular bruschetta and the calamari appetizers both were good size portions and tasty. We both had the chicken carbonara main and very rich and good portions as well. The service was good from server to kitchen. We also enjoyed the desserts one was the caramel cheesecake and the other was chocolate mouse brownie. I would recommend this place and will be returning in future.
