Highly creative Vietnamese-inspired dining with standout dishes and cocktails, premium pricing, and an automatic service charge; excellent food for adventurous diners, but value and service consistency divide opinions.
Lily delivers creative Vietnamese fusion with exceptional standout dishes like bone marrow carpaccio and black coconut crepes, supported by strong neighborhood destination appeal and a distinctive cocktail program. However, quality variation in portioning and temperature alongside cramped dining quarters and occasional service delays prevent grade A territory. The automatic service charge and fusion-forward menu also temper value perception for some diners.
One caveat: Pricing is high for Clement Street and the 20% service charge can surprise some diners
