They have a varied and delicious menu. Service is excellent. Need reservations well in advance....it is a popular eating establishment. Everything I have eaten here, meat, fish, salads, desserts were excellent. Give Lilly's a try. Parking can be difficult in Lambertville, so give yourself enough time to find parking. It's worth it !!

One of Lambertville's outstanding dining experiences. The contemporary menu is first rate with great appetizers (Quesadilla was outstanding) and the entrees of Lamb chops and Lobster Ravioli with scallops in a vodka sauce were just perfect. The desserts are exceptional as well, but one serving is more than ample for two people to share. We enjoyed the coconut chocolate cake... More

My husband and I were in town for a few days and we happened to wander by Lilly's we decided not to wait for a table...it was quite busy that evening so we decided to sit up at the counter. We were entertained by the chefs and prep staff. What a well oiled machine! The food was out of this... More

We've been living in New Hope for 3 years. We go out to dinner just about every Friday. We generally like restaurants in Lambertville better for dinner and the bars in New Hope better for drinks. We've been to Lilly's about 4 or 5 times. The place has so much potential to be in our regular rotation of fav's but... More

I was here with a group of eight people. Service was attentive. We loved the apps - "decadent" batter dipped eggplant fries, and veggie and risotto cakes..... innovative. I had the lamb chops. No fancy sauce, but solidly competent. Others had steak, grilled salmon, pasta, etc. Everyone was happy and some even needed takehome boxes for the leftovers. Desserts seem... More

As you walk into this cute restaurant, you will adore it. The food is full of flavor and portions are a good size for the value. I had the chorizo sausage sandwich. Amazing flavor and the chicken was moist. The parking limited so park on the street. One of my friends had the cubano sandwich and that too was soooo... More

The food is plentiful, but if you are counting calories, this is NOT the place to go! The desserts are killer (especially the chocolate cake), and the pasta is to die for. Ambiance is always neat - the decor changes constantly. Service is friendly, can be slow. Prices can be a bit high, but know that you are leaving with... More

It's been a while since we dined at Lilly's and we were in the mood for something special. As always, the place was busy but that is to be expected from one of the best restaurants in the Lambertville/New Hope area. I ordered their 1/2 sandwich and soup...plenty to eat! The soup was a thick bowl of home made split... More

Love this local place. Menu is always interesting and the food very good. Love their split pea soup on a chilly day!

Lilly's is a really good restaurant. Which is why they are so busy. Which is why I didn't give them an Excellent. It feels a bit crowded and is noisier than I like. But the food and service are excellent. Save room for desert.
