Reviews of Lily's (Catering)

Christa Fox

My family of over 15 went to Lily's for the Thanksgiving Dinner buffet! I would highly recommend this! The food was excellent, the servers were great and it was nice to walk in grab a plate and enjoy the food with family and not have to wait as we had young children with us. The music was also a nice touch! My family enjoyed their singing much more than mine! :)

Jennifer Jordan

Food is absolutely delicious ???? The staff is also great

Gibson Vshredder

A delicious lunch with a beautiful view and beautiful presentation. We really enjoyed ourselves however service was extremely slow. Don't go if you're in a hurry.

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!

One of the bests hamburgers that I had in Canada. The server (sorry I didn't ask his name) was a lovely guy! Very friendly and made our day very special. I have no doubts I'm going back during the summer!

Mel Roman

Probably the best restaurant that we found in Saint John for the price, service, atmosphere and food quality. Lots of parking and with the lake, park and trails nearby this place is a must.

Jeff Forrest

Great view of Lily lake from our table, excellent service and delicious wonton nachos.

Kathy McKay

A friend had recommended this restaurant in Rockwood park. Service and meal were exceptional. Large menu, easily meet the needs of the pickiest eaters. Reasonable prices, large portions. Take a walk around the park then stop in, you will not be disappointed!!

I would like to give a high-five to our waitress "Sarah" and manager "Tony" at Lily's Rockwood Park today. My sister and I didn't have reservations, but Tony accommodated us in a timely as possible fashion. Sarah was a super friendly, efficient, waitress and followed up on assuring we were happy with our meals. (which we definitely were) Lovely presentation and great tasting. We also enjoyed my complimentary ice cream crepe as it is my birthday today. Thank you Lily's! Great experience

Jeremy B

We enjoyed our meals as well as the view over the lake. All enjoyed their meals

Tung Nguyen

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.

Jonathan Gaudet

Amazing food, and even better service. I recommend the Biscuits & Molasses. Sooooo good.

Neil Mack

Ordered three meals through skip the dishes, fries were still crispy and the portions were good

Tithi Dave

Service was good but we felt a bit rushed. Ordered the lobster potato skins. A good amount of lobster and a creamy sauce with lots of green onion and cheese. It really enjoyed them. I would certainly return

Tony Coady

Great food and service. Had the lobster potato skins and nachos. I will be getting them again...

Alex

One of the most memorable meals I had while visiting the city. Staff was so friendly and helpful. The server said the dish I wanted was too much for lunch despite being more expensive. I settled for a seafood salad containing shrimp, scallops, lobster, and veggies. Definitely recommended.

Mercedes Acuna

We enjoyed lunch with a view of the lake. The food was very good along with the prices. Our waitress was helpful and upbeat! This is a wonderful opportunity to support the community and have a great meal!

Jeffrey Allen

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.

Laura Fraser

My first poutine. It was delicious and the service was great!! Merci

MapleLeaf115

Beautiful location and food was amazing

Susan Wright

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

Melody McLaughlan

This was my first experience at Lily's and I have to say that the food was great! A solid 4/5 .. The place is clean and roomy with a great view to enjoy as well. Our server was probably the friendliest server I've ever had. She was very informative and excited to talk about the food and drinks. She checked up on us frequently and made sure we were happy . 5/5

Matthew Pitre

Service was great and the Steak and cheese sandwich being one of the best I have had!!

Mathieu Guimond

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

Kate Stalzer

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.

Sherri Hannah

Good food with a view! The deck overlooks the lake and is a great location for dinner.

Felipe Lopes

Chose the spinach salad. It was nice, but for the price I expected it to be a bit more special. The dressing reminded me of store bought and I had to pick out more than a few slimy bits of spinach. The spinach was fresh, but more care should be taken in prepping the salad to be as fresh as possible.

Manuel Cerda

Awesome service snd very delicious affordable food its a beautiful spot we had a lobster roll.with fries and coldslaw i would recommend it to everyone!!

Hannah Kristine Tan

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.

Paul Potter

Lily's was the best. We had a great person serving us with excellence. The food & prices were great and we sat on the deck. Don't anyone miss this time to go with your family. We had 7 of us as a family.

Tom Szeliga

I went to Lilly's after taking our daughter to the park. I had the lobster roll with a caesar salad. My wife had the fish tacos and fries and my daughter had the chicken fingers and fries. All were delicious. The atmosphere was great as we sat on the patio overlooking the lake. The food and service was top notch. I highly recommend this place.

Nav eed

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

David Simkins

Food was great and the server friendly. I ordered the seafood linguini and it was delicious.

Maleia Mikesell

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!

Connor Rosine

Had such a wonderful time here. The service was great, the food was great, and the price is great as well. Definitely recommend.

Claudette Boucher

the staff was friendly...that was about the only good thing I could say after my family went there to celebrate my parent's 50th anniversary. Our waitress was very sweet but interrupted us so many times and made us feel a bit rushed. the food was not very good....the tenderloin tip had hardly any tenderloin in it all ( 3 tiny little pieces) and the mashed potatoes tasted like they came from a box. The bacon chicken wrap was completely flavorless. We will definitely not be going back.

Sheila Parekh

Very pleased with this unplaned stop for breakfast, very good friendly service, generous portions, good price, very good potatoes, definitely coming back! Nice relaxed atmosphere!

Hans Klohn

Service

Serge Robichaud

This place is beautiful and romantic at all times. An amazing patio over the lake with natural sun light. The restaurant service is great and fast. I would go to Lily's lake any day at any time.

Nicole and Joe McKinney

Lily’s is in the Building across the water in my photo. There is a wonderful trail around lake. We only had a good coffee, but the setting and the food appeared outstanding, and the menu very reasonably priced.

Melissa Blanchard

Our fish and chips was very greasy but the clam chowder was awesome.

Michael Donovan

Great place, good food, excellent service and an amazing view. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a good time in Saint John ????

GWoo

Great service and food. Our server was very friendly and helpful. He stayed attentive throughout our meal. The food was tasty and hit the spot on such a chilly blustery day. I had the turkey club on a sourdough ciabatta bun with rustic potato salad as my side.

W. P.

Service was alright when we got there but tapered off rather quickly. Food was meh. She had a salad which I think they missed a few ingredients in and I had the maple chicken curry pasta which I'm pretty sure gave me diabetes (very sugary with no curry). We finished less than half our meals before asking for the check. With the menu having what seems like 100+ items I feel like they chose quantity over quality for sure.

Tim Lumsden

The set menu items were delicious! I can't wait to try the salmon option. Chowder was excellent and creamy! Nice light live music during the afternoon. Highly recommend stopping here before or after a walk through the park.

Tabitha King

Went for a late breakfast. Only three choices to choose from. The waitress didnt reach my expense considering we were the only people inside ( there were a few tables being used outside). Overall the food was good and prices reasonable.

TaraLee Scott

Place is breathtaking ???? and the sea food option is ammaaazing.

Joe Mcmurray

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

Jason Doucet

Had two experiences here which were wildly different. Service was consistently excellent so I'm rating 4 stars. As the picture shows, I had the stonehammer lunch. My friend had Stonehammer dinner. We are both foodies and were impressed with the flavors and value of the Stonehammer specials. Furthermore, the tv plays a slide show of entrees, all beautifully plated and with interesting ingredients. We returned for the prime rib special, and, clearly, someone different was in the kitchen. It was edible, but very unremarkable. I drowned my sorrows in exceedingly plain au jus. Takeaway: when it's good, it's very very good! Even when it's bad it's...ok. Either way service and ambience was lovely. Plenty of other diners were there both times- and still we felt as if our servers gave us more than usual attention. If I lived nearby, I would definitely join the locals and give it several more tries!

BuffyAbric Abric

Good pub fare and seafood!

Lynne Houston

Amazing food, great service, would 10/10 go again.

Della Jimenez

Very accommodating staff and every dish is delicious!

Joan Barriault

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.

Tracey Bell

I like this place. The staff is friendly accommodating and the food is very good. On nice days they have an outdoor area with umbrellas. There's a small beach area right beside the outdoor seating area. Great place to have adult beverages and watch your kids play. But don't drink and drive. Cheers

Pat Mulholland

Yummy foods in here! I want to come again ???????????????? I really enjoy the foods here! ????????????????

Mable Lean

Horrible. Service was absolutely horrible. Two waitresses passed us many times. Never asked if we wanted anything. Not even a drink. Left before we were even served.

Teo S

Fish and chips, beet and goat cheese salad kids burgers all excellent! Worth every penny.

Jeffery Tong

As always wonderful but the Coconut Crusted Haddock was excellent. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Shane Austin

Lovely padio on the water. Good customer service. The food was ok. Could use some flavour.

dee daniels

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.

Graham Wright

Amazing food. Highly recommend the fish and chips

Elizabeth Carvell

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

Tomas Peiser

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

Brady Ollivier

It was a wonderful day at the lake!! My dad really enjoyed the food and drink and service!! Thank you

Luke Hoeksema

Food was out of this world. We sat right off of the lake and enjoyed the ambiance.
