It can be tough to snag a reservation at Lilith, especially on a weekend, but I got lucky! It's pretty small and intimate inside so a reservation is a must!! We took an out of town friend here and he said it was his favorite meal of the long weekend! The food and service has been incredible each time I've been here and this time was no exception. We loved our server Holly and our food was flavorful and delicious. My favorites were the lobster rolls, tuna tartare, skate, and pork chop. You absolutely cannot skip dessert here so be sure to save room, especially for the passionfruit cheesecake!
Fantastic. The overall experience was amazing. This is a small space and you need to find street parking nearby, but the experience is absolutely worth it. Getting a reservation can also be a challenge, but it's worth making the effort. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient, and every aspect of the experience was well attended to. It felt like our server was present enough to attend to our needs, but also not hovering: allowing my partner and I to experience the evening for ourselves. This is very much an excellent destination for a special occasion. Friendly and well-serviced without being stuffy. In terms of the food, we were very impressed. We generally aim for vegetable forward dining, and they really served that need. Everything was very much chef influenced with complex arrangements of flavors and textures. The beets and things salad was crisp and bright. The farrotto was complex and layered with a tremendous amount of flavor and texture worked into a vegetarian entree. We ended with the chocolate mousse cake, and it was extremely well crafted with details down to tiny macarons and caramel cream to make every bite special. Over, this is an amazing experience. Perfect for a special outing for two.
Absolutely unbelievable meal at Lilith in Shadyside. I read a LOT of reviews before going--and now need to do my due diligence and post my after! Let me tell you--if you're a foodie like me make a reservation for here. It's incredible. We ordered: the beets and things salad, fancy lobster rolls, tuna tartare, the skate and beef filet to share, the baked Alaska and chocolate mousse. I'm telling you, everything was to die for. Service was attentive and helpful, vibe was homey and welcoming. Truly not a bad bite on this menu!!! Now one of my absolute top restaurants in PGH. RUN don't walk to Lilith!!!!
Wow! This was our second time here. We were blown away. The food is fantastic, the service was top notch, the drinks were delicious. Starting with appetizers, we got tuna tar tar, pierogies, oysters and a salad. The salad was amazing. We wanted to totally dissect it and figure out how to make it at home. What are 'seed crunchies' and what makes them so delicious? Then we shared three mains: sea scallops, beef filet and squash ravioli. Each dish had a mix of interesting flavors. We finished with 4! Desserts--again, all unique, the baked Alaska with pumpkin ice cream took the prize. We had two birthdays at the table and got sweet cards from the restaurant staff. Oh, right, the drinks were great, too. Even the one I ordered off menu!
Lilith was a great date night dinner spot. It's actually remarkable small and we waited in a tiny corridor to be seated, which took a little while. The decor was charming with wallpaper and generally creating an intimate environment. The tables are fairly close. We were given some bread with salted butter and oil. I have to say it was really nice and I actually wanted more, but I appreciated that it was just the right amount to whet your appetite. We got the Pierogies as starters, which came dressed up a bit, which was nice. For our mains we had the scallops and the squash pasta. I thought that Pierogies gave it a Pittsburghy feel and the squash gave a nodto fall flavors, and made for good topical menu choices. I absolutely loved the scallops. The sauces were so delicious. It came on a bed of lentils, which was an interesting choice which I don't see much outside of Indian cuisine. That definitely gave a balance to the textures. We ordered the pistachio cake for dessert and my partner loved it. It had so many things going in it: pistachios, cream, cake, cranberries, etc and had a variety of flavors in different bites. Our server was great, prompt, polite also offered us recommendations. I'd love to go back. I'd want to give 4.5 stars.
Lilith never disappoints! Came here with the girlies hence the 3 desserts. Everything was delicious. Skate apparently is hard to cook and they did it so well!
We came here for my grad school graduation celebration dinner. We had been in once before- I couldn't stop talking about it so I knew this is where I wanted to celebrate this special milestone. The restaurant is quite small and definitely requires reservations, but the space is decorated so cute and the decor and lighting create a very moody and warm ambiance. Dining here is more than just getting a meal, it is a whole experience. The restaurant is women owed and known for culinary excellence (look them up online!). I will note that the menu is smaller, and at the time we went, had many seafood items on it. So if that's not your thing then I'd just check the menu online beforehand.
Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Where do I begin? The decor and ambiance is so whimsical and fun. We sat in the back room and it was so cozy and semi-private. Our server was a rockstar. She was helpful and prompt and really made us feel taken care of throughout the evening. The food. Oh yes the food. We sampled a special which was chicken liver pâté and it was excellent. It should be added to their regular menu for sure. We also loved the little lobster rolls. We shared a couple of main courses, the filet mignon and a fish dish. Both were perfection. No notes. Finally, we had the seasonal baked Alaska. 10/10. Would definitely recommend this lovely spot!
Everything about this place is five stars. The restaurant itself is lovely and charming and adorned with beautiful well thought-out details. They have seating inside and a few tables outside too. Our waiter was very calming and friendly, great service. Everything about the meal was also phenomenal. After ordering, they bring out a serving of sliced rosemary focaccia and some olive oil topped with sea salt. It was so good! They make the focaccia in house. I got the cocorita cocktail - tequila, lime and coconut. It was really refreshing and tasty! My boyfriend got the passion fruit smash and loved it. For starters, we ordered the tuna tartare and the Japanese sweet potatoes. The tuna tartare was delicious and citrusy and tasted so good with the buttery crispy crostini. The Japanese sweet potato was topped with a bearnaise sauce and trout roe. Really interesting dish, very rich. I preferred the tartare but both were tasty. For our mains, we got the skate wing and the farroto. The skate wing was delicious, never had it before. The farroto was a nice surprise, it's a vegan risotto dish with mushrooms and other vegetables. Despite not having any cheese it tastes cheesy! Both my boyfriend and I are dairy-free so we loved this dish. It was one of my favorites. So hearty and delicious. We walked away happy with full bellies. Overall, amazing meal!
Not remembering all the dishes but a must go for a date night (or I imagine a good girls night). Very intimate(just like the previous amazing restaurant) and spectacular desserts. Every single ingredient is fresh and perfect. The salad had so many amazing ingredients and freshness I don't think I could even procure them at a farmers market. Finish with a dessert for sure and go home very happy. Also great service and amazing owners....just look them up.
Lilith is amazing and you need to try it ASAP. My work bestie and I came here after a work event and had the best time. Our server was super sweet and fun! He even riffed along with us. They have a great drink list here. My friend ordered a very tasty passion fruit cocktail. We made a 8:45pm reservation in advance, when we got there around 8:30pm, they seated us early which was nice. It was packed. This restaurant is popular for a reason. It was a bit loud, but as the evening went on and more guests left, it got quieter. I'm not from Pittsburgh, so I don't know how common this is, but it feels like it's in an intimate residential area. So there was parallel street parking nearby. They had some outdoor seats available, but we enjoyed our table inside. They also had gender neutral single restrooms. In true Yelp fashion, we decided to order our food family style. Here is what we got: Rosemary focaccia: This incredible bread before your meal is a star. The whipped ricotta and olive oil that accompanies it is simple and stunning. Lobster Rolls: This is a top menu item for a reason. Having lived in Maine I can be weird with my lobster, but I adored this dish and every last bite. Do be mindful because they can be shell bits, but it's still so good. Tuna Tartare: While the tartare by itself is incredible, the toasted bread that accompanies it elevates the whole dish. I LOVED THIS. Yuca Pierogis: When in Rome...I needed to get pierogies in Pittsburgh. And as someone who loves yuca, this was such a delight. You have to order these. The sauce it came with was so good. I would've licked this plate if I could. Sweet potato: The fish roe that came on top of these sweet potatoes were such a great addition! I adored this dish. Baked Alaska: Confession, I've never had this dessert before, and really wanted to try it after watching the film Queer. Since it was my birthday this past week, my friend got them to put a candle in it for me (note: this is an amazing birthday restaurant, at least two other groups were celebrating birthdays here. They put a candle in each dessert). The ice cream they had was so unique. I believe it was rhubarb with some herb. It was a new flavor for me, but I liked it overall. Please, I'm begging you, come to Lilith. It's a place for the girlies. It's a place for incredible food with a cutesy aesthetic. I highly recommend this gem.
I'm way late to the party for Lilith - I have seriously been missing out. What an amazing experience from start to finish! The ambiance of this spot is a picture mixture of intimate, inviting, and "for the girls" if you will. The decor is amazing - bright colors, fun prints. Our service was amazing - attentive, personable and knowledgeable. We decided on sharing small plates because there were too many things that sounded good. Here's a list of everything we tried: -house made Focaccia bread -yucca pierogis -tuna tartare -sweet potatoes -lobster rolls -baked Alaska for dessert Honestly I can't pick a favorite, everything was THAT good. I don't even care for lobster but I could eat those lobster rolls daily. Highly, highly recommend Lilith for a special occasion, or not. You're missing out!
This is the best spot for a girls night/date night! Very cute and intimate and unique decor. Kinda small so it's hard to get a reservation. Not the best option for vegetarians but one of my favorite spots in Pittsburgh. Wait staff is super friendly and helpful. It's a rotating menu but everything is so intentional and well curated. Cannot recommend Lilith enough!!
It's all in the details and Lilith does not skip any including the finest ones. The atmosphere was so welcoming as we were greeted by friendly staff members. The intimate dining area is beautifully decorated! We never felt rushed throughout our entire experience and were waited on by such attentive staff members. On the menu for us was a starter of tuna tarter accompanied with a gluten free bread option (WINNING!!!) My hubs received a rosemary focaccia that was a great dipping course. Next, I opted for the skate which was perfectly balanced and cooked to perfection. The steak dish was the other plate at the table and was masterfully done. For dessert, I was so excited to try the gluten free passion fruit cheesecake....and to my surprise I also received a birthday celebration with a thoughtful card. Reservations are sometimes hard to come by here, but if you get the chance.....make them and then make them again for your return visit. read more

The Lilith had been on my list since they opened but I was finally able to give them a try. It was definitely worth the wait. The restaurant is small but the vibe is great. The decor is perfect and the space feels warm and intimate. My friend and I got the fancy lobster rolls and oysters and I got the beef and she got the ravioli. Everything was truly so delicious! You do have to order everything at once which was a little different but fine. We did save room for dessert - we got the baked Alaska. It was good but not amazing. But I'd definitely try a different dessert next time. The service was friendly and alternative. If you want a nice dinner with excellent food this is your place. read more

Lilith is a cozy/cool spot to grab dinner in Shadyside. The vibe is moody but warm low lighting, great music, and a space that feels like a little hidden gem. Perfect for a date night or catching up with friends over good food and better drinks. The staff is super friendly and chill, Holly took great care of us and was helpful with recommendations. We started with their bread, the shrimp ceviche, crunchy veggies and the yuca pierogis. After that we got the lobster rolls, spaghetti, and mahi for our entrées. We did try the spring baked Alaska for dessert as well. Everything was so fresh and so flavorful. All in all, Lilith has the kind of energy that makes you want to stay all night. It feels like a little escape in the middle of the city. 10/10 would go back. read more

Best meal I've eaten in Pittsburgh, 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 If you're lucky enough to get a reservation I would highly recommend it. Lobster rolls, filet, and the skate were unreal! We cleaned 6/6 plates read more

Everything was phenomenal! We were there to celebrate my mom's birthday and had such a wonderful time. The space is small but well designed; I loved the aesthetic and I never felt like we were cramped or infringed upon by our neighbors. The service was excellent and our server, Holly, was extremely attentive and super nice. The food was SO good. We started with 2 orders of the lobster rolls which were a 10/10 (I'd go back again just for those), the beets & things, and the plantain soup. For mains, we shared the skate, two orders of the ravioli, and the pork chop. For dessert we split the pistachio cake and the chocolate mousse cake, which they brought out with a candle and a lovely card. Everything was delicious, but for me the standouts were the lobster rolls, the skate, the ravioli, and the chocolate mousse cake. I can't wait to go back to try more! read more

finally got to try lilith! we went on valentine's day without a reservation and they were able to squeeze us into the bar seating, which honestly just isn't seating it's like a separate corner away from the main dining room. not complaining though, given that we had no reservation, but just try to get a reservation for future reference. the staff was incredible, so sweet and polite. the restaurant was so aesthetic and feminine which i loved. we got two appetizers and two deserts, all of which were very tasty! i'm very excited to come back and try some of their entrees next time! read more
Love this place! Such a good vibe and the decoration are right on spot! The menu is short and sweet. If you love seafood, you need to try this place. The fishes we ordered were cooked perfectly. Oyster was fresh, octopus salad was nice too. Highly recommend!! read more
I have been wanting to eat at Lilith for quite some time and finally was so happy to make it! Everything was perfect from the moment came upon the restaurant - the aesthetic, even from the outside, set the mood for a wonderful dinner. The lighting, decor and noise level were comfortable and placed you in a calm, relaxed state. The server, Eleanor, was polite and interacted with us at the correct intervals throughout the dinner service. The Grape Gatsby cocktail was delightful, with the right amounts of each flavor. For starters, we tried the tuna tartare and lobster rolls - both outstanding. The absolute winner of the evening was the steak! It was an infusion of flavors I've never tasted before... and quite literally with each bite, I felt as if I was going to dream about eating that steak again. To end the evening, I finally was able to try baked Alaska! I have always wanted to try it, but have never seen it on a menu before. That was surely a treat, as was the entire experience. I can't wait to return! read more
Wow! This place has been on my list for a long time, and boy, I'm so glad I went. My husband and I went to celebrate my birthday. I loved the intimate and small inside. The natural light from all the windows were great. Our waitress was so kind and friendly and gave us some great recommendations. The lobster rolls, tuna tartare and skate wing were some of my favorites (but everything was absolutely delicious and I'd get again 100%). Their cocktails were delicious and well balanced. The Carotta cocktail with carrot, tequila and passion fruit was perfect, not too sweet either. The baked Alaska to end the night was perfect. It was a seasonal baked Alaska so it had blood orange, coriander shortbread and lemon curd. Yum! I already want to plan my next visit here read more

Cutest vibe restaurant with a warm atmosphere. Attentive service from the waiter who starts you off with house fragrant rosemary focaccia with the lightest olive oil and whipped ricotta. The dinner we had tonight was a mixed bag, lovely overall. What we ordered: . Oysters with Mango Mignonette - the oysters were small and not particularly sweet for their variety . Tuna tartare - very different from what I normally have. The tuna is essentially mixed with a lot of "mix ins". In the end, it reminded me a bit of tuna salad filling. . Lobster Rolls - packs a real dill punch in crusty bun (2 mini rolls) . Pierogis - highly recommend. It's got a lot going on, but the fresh vegetables and sauces are all great counterparts to the soft pierogi . Loup de Mer - okay, a little overcooked, skin was a bit tough. read more
Lilith was just as their restaurant blurb described: a intimate and cozy dining experience. I loved their vibrant decor and the beautiful silverware and plates. Absolutely every detail of it was delicate yet lively. This was one of the hardest reservations to book for me this year, but I was not disappointed. The food was amazing and gave me a pleasant surprise. My standards for a restaurant that leaves an impression is building a menu that I feel is original, and I can't find similar dishes elsewhere. Lilith has successfully crafted one of my favorite menus in town, also making it on my list of best new places around Pittsburgh. My favorite and must tries include the scallop ceviche and tuna tartare. I really like how they play with flavors, such as the chili oil and touch of coconut in the scallop ceviche. Duck was on the salty side but I noticed it's no longer on the menu anymore. I wanted to especially praise the team at Lilith for their hospitality. It was my friend's birthday and they not only prepared the most beautiful and delicious cake, but also the whole team came out to wish her a happy birthday. They also made a card that everyone had signed. I felt the team really went above and beyond to provide an unique and homely dining experience for each person. Can't wait until the next time I come back! read more

Holy cow! This place is incredible. Probably one of my top five dining experiences in Pittsburgh. Let me start with how adorable it is inside. You can tell that the design was thought through from the paint color to the chairs to the dishes. It is all so wonderfully put together. There were three of us dining, and we decided to eat family style. We shared four of the appetizers and two of the entrées. We started with the pierogies, blue cheese, shrimp and raclette (not pictured). Each dish that came out was plated better than the next. The shrimp was in a lime and passionfruit sauce with avocado and red onion. The flavor was incredible! The pierogies had a times I sauce that was incredible and they were stuffed full of potatoes! The blue cheese dish was the only one we weren't that into. They made the blue cheese into a flan-like a texture and none of us could get past the texture. For our entrées, we had the ravioli stuffed with sweet potatoes and in a brown butter sauce. On top there was crispy kale and crispy mushrooms with pistachios. All of the textures worked really well together. The second entrée was the striped bass. It came with pickled red onion and grilled lemon and some sort of purée that was divine. We were so incredibly full, but we decided to share one more thing... Baked Alaska for dessert. It's such a fun throwback dessert. I also had the wintertini which was their version of an espresso martini. And I would be remiss not to mention what a wonderful server we had. She helped to guide us through the menu and provide suggestions for our best dining experience. I can't wait to come back and share this place with more people! read more
Lilith really is THAT restaurant. I made a resy a month out from my birthday, and oh my am I glad I did. From the kind and knowledgeable staff to the fabulously feminine decor, Lilith had me from the moment I stepped through the door. And then I tried the FOOD. Every single thing was flavorful, like the rosemary focaccia, handmade pierogi, scallop crudo (still dreaming about her tbh), adventurous beef tenderloin, INCREDIBLE pasta, I could go on and on. But please, I beg you, save room for dessert. You will not be disappointed and anywhere you can get a fun take on a French 75 is the place for me. I *will* be back soon, don't worry. Cheers to women-led restaurants! More female chefs, please. read more
This spot is so hard to get a reservation for for a reason!! The staff is awesome here. We absolutely loved our server Dale who was a hoot. We had a large party and Dale made everything go smoothly by telling us we should order both apps and mains so the kitchen can be prepared and happy. The vibes are immaculate in here. We loved the whimsy, maximalist, colorful decor inside and outside. It is pretty small in here so I get why the reservations go fast. Their drinks here are phenomenal - we loved the passionfruit Cosmo and the rye cocktail. They serve you homemade foccacia and it's amazing with their homemade ricotta. My group loved the apps too - the yucca pierogis were so unique and delicious! Everyone loved the mains as well. I had the filet and it was cooked perfectly. I love the plates and glassware they use here. Dessert was phenomenal here since the owner is the pastry chef. The tres leches and baked Alaska were amazing. I loved how balanced the baked Alaska was with the different textures of the merengue, cake, and ice cream. Then the sweetness of it is balanced with the acidity of the sauces and mint on the side. It was so good!! Dale even put a candle in it since I was wondering if they torched it at the table. They couldn't do that so sweet Dale did the next best thing. Definitely a new favorite spot in town! Can't recommend it enough! read more

I cannot praise this restaurant enough. They have a very small, cozy, and intimate seating area. That plus their excellent food is probably why you need to make a reservation a month in advance. The chef really knows balance- with the ravioli being kind of heavy but all the light, fresh greens really countered it out and then the tuna tartare being fishy mixed with the tanginess of the herbs. I can conclude that you can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Our server was charismatic, restaurant was cute, and the food was delicious. I would say that the best meal I've had in Pittsburgh was at Lilith's. read more

We made reservations to celebrate our anniversary. The space is very cozy indeed. It's a triangle shape so the dining room is tight. We were very close to the tables next to us, easily hearing their conversation and I'm sure they could ours. Service was attentive. The only oops was with the bill (charged for six entrees) that was easily corrected. Food wise it was excellent: - Yuca pierogi had a nice hint of chilli oil and the yuca filling was amazing - Swordfish was hearty and cooked well - Tagliatelle was a hit! Pasta is cooked al dente and the sauce and seafood is amazing. Scallops cooked well. - Everything chocolate dessert is rich and delicious, perfect to share. Make reservations and give this spot a try. They have their liquor license now so it won't be BYOB going forward. read more

Excellent--each bite was better than the last. Perfect date night spot. My boyfriend and I brought his parents here for a double date, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The interior is charming, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated. We were seated in the back room, which provided a quiet and private atmosphere. We started with the rosemary focaccia paired with whipped ricotta--it was absolutely outstanding. Next, we savored the scallop ceviche, yuca pierogies, and lobster roll--each dish was incredible in its own way. For our mains, we chose the halibut and the ravioli. The ravioli, with its perfect balance of flavors, may have been my favorite bite of the night. To finish, we shared the passion fruit cheesecake and Italian chocolate cake. Both desserts delivered unique twists on traditional dishes and were the perfect way to end the evening. Service was top notch. read more
Food is absolutely delicious! Not a single dish that my friends and I ordered that we didn't like. Service was impeccable and staff are so friendly. This place is packed and definitely needs a reservation. Decos and ambiance are adorable! It's such a cozy and warm place to dine it. read more

Do they allow walk-ins? I can't seem to find any reservation times available on Resy. Is anyone else having this issue?
This is an amazing new restaurant with 2 very talented chefs. You will need to make reservations in advance on RESY if you wish to eat here.
