Gibson Vshredder

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

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.

Charyssa Walton

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

Jason Troy

Great location and the food was perfectly prepared.

Mel Roman

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

Jeff Forrest

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.

Kathy McKay

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

Mitchell Brown

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.

Jeremy B

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

Tung Nguyen

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

Betty Taylor

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.

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.

Jonathan Gaudet

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

Neil Mack

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.

Chris Wright

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.

Tithi Dave

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

Tony Coady

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

Jay D

Alex

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!

Mercedes Acuna

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.

Jeffrey Allen

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.

Laura Fraser

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! :)

MapleLeaf115

Mathieu Guimond

Kate Stalzer

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.

Sherri Hannah

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

Neil Alexander

Great meal! Great prices! Great service!!

Felipe Lopes

Good pub fare and seafood!

Manuel Cerda

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.

John Roland Hill

Delicious food, great staff with good food suggestions and with good ideas for things to do in the area. Update: went back next night to try the Tenderloin Tips. Holy amazing. Ran out of things to dip in the delicious sauce but Ashley found me a fresh biscuit. Great service again! Don't miss this gem on the lake.

Hannah Kristine Tan

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

Paul Potter

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.

Tom Szeliga

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.

Nav eed

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

David Simkins

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

Maleia Mikesell

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!

Connor Rosine

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

Claudette Boucher

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

Sheila Parekh

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.

A. Morrison

Visited twice from the west coast over the past months and was very impressed with the location, service, and of course - importantly - the food! Came the first time with a local who recommended it, and because of that experience, returned with my wife on a subsequent trip. Really enjoyed the fish both times, and great soup. Added to all this is that the majority of proceeds from Lily’s goes towards the work of terrific charities and groups - even more reason to give them business. Kudos.

Villagemayor

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.

Serge Robichaud

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.

Nicole and Joe McKinney

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

Melissa Blanchard

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

Michael Donovan

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!

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

W. P.

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

Tim Lumsden

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

Tabitha King

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!

TaraLee Scott

Amazing food. Highly recommend the fish and chips

Joe Mcmurray

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

Jason Doucet

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

BuffyAbric Abric

Beautiful location and food was amazing

Lynne Houston

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!!

Della Jimenez

This place was very nice. We had soup and salad. It came with a biscuit. The portion size was very good. The wait staff were very friendly and the service was fairly prompt. Would have given it 5 stars but the turkey soup was quite salty. Other than the salt, it was very yummy. We will definitely be back.

Joan Barriault

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!

Tracey Bell

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.

Pat Mulholland

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

Mable Lean

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.

Teo S

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.

Nancy Hetman

The food was delicious, had the stir fry and it had great flavor and texture. Wasn't all mooshy like some can be. Prices are reasonable and nice to hear it's a boy for profit restaraunt. If you're looking to support local, give Lily's a try.

Jeffery Tong

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

Shane Austin

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!

Jeff Classen

Fantastic food and service every visit. This is our go to place for eating out at least once a month. Just make sure to reserve a table for special events so as not to be disappointed. Well balanced menu. Food extremely well prepared and presented. Sarah was a professional server, appropriately friendly and knowledgeable. Atmosphere relaxing on a cold January evening. Watching some fellows playing hockey on the lake under lights added to the coziness of the fireplace inside the dining room. Chocolate chip kale ice cream was very good way to end dinner.

dee daniels

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.

RJ Hochwarter

Fish cakes are bland. Good service. Really nice patio.

Graham Wright

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

Elizabeth Carvell

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.

Tomas Peiser

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.

Brady Ollivier

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

Heather Macdonald

The waitress gave us great service but the food left a lot to be desired. We went for lunch, ordered two Bay of Fundy Seafood Chowders. ($16.00 each) The waitress said it was "the best we'd ever taste." We asked if it was enough for a meal. She said it was loaded with fish. We were extremely disappointed to find 4 small shrimp, 3 muscles, 2 scallops in our bowls. The soup had no distinguishable flavors. It was like hot milk. Since we were both still hungry, we ordered the special of the day, A Sandwich of Chicken breast, with bacon and Swiss, with a side of fries. ($13.00) The chicken was tough and dry. We left it on the plate. Perhaps our expectations were too high. Will never return.

Luke Hoeksema

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