I'm holding back one star only because it was so very expensive. And I know everything has gone up in price and we are okay with indulging a bit when we go out and paying for top notch food, drinks and service, especially to support local artisans and businesses. But it just seemed disproportionately expensive for the portions. Not disappointing in any way, just not as special as I hoped.

Parking is on the street, and there's a garage nearby. Upon entering we were advised that reservations were recommended at least 2-3 weeks in advance, but , fortunately we were able to all sit together by the front window facing Ludlow St.No problem, but the seats were unpadded. There is no wait staff at this location, but we always got the attention of workers. Our food was delicious, we all loved our homemade pasta selections. The only thing I have to say is that it is a bit pricey for what you receive. Workers are nice, restaurant is pleasant and clean.

I sat at the counter and ordered a patty melt w/side of coleslaw. The water and menu arrived promptly, as did my food. Price? $17 including tip. Unlike the greasy mess that is the typical patty melt, this one was dry. All the expected ingredients were present, but how did they manage to make it so dry. Frankly, I was craving a little bit of a mess, but no objections. The beef flavor was good. The cheese was fully melted. I do wish the onions were a bit more caramelized. I will admit to being intrigued by the pistachio cake. I almost ordered a slice, but that was too much green food dye for me. Will I return? Yes.

So glad I did ... it would be easy to become a regular if I lived 250 miles closer. The parking lot was crowded. Lots of people waiting for tables, but I found a seat at the counter. Service was friendly and instantaneous. My Reuben was perfectly grilled on a flat top and appropriately greasy. The corned beef was coarsely shredded and also grilled to perfection. Ditto the Swiss cheese. My only complaint? I like my sauerkraut to have serious tangy kick and this sauerkraut was Ohio-mild. The ambiance has a bit of a rural farmhouse vibe. The others seated at the counter were friendly and chatty. The dining room and restroom were both clean. Will I return? Yes!

Every time we visit, the food is always delicious and the coffee is always spot on. We always leave satisfied. Dishes that we've gotten that I can remember: cowboy bennys, pancakes (plain, chocolate chip and blueberry), omelets, French toast, & muffins. All very simple meals, but worth the trip. Customer service is 10/10. Everyone is so nice! There is ample parking. It is much better compared to their previous location, that's for sure. Things to note: the wait can be long! If you go early enough, go on a random day or call ahead to get on their wait list, then the wait won't be as long.

The loaded baked potato was also excellent. Kasey was our server. She was appropriately attentive, without being obsequious. Will I return? Yes.

There wasn't anything inherently wrong with our meal at Corner Kitchen but it was just mediocre…read more Perhaps part of the reason is that we went early to try out the Happy Hour they were promoting and we were the only people in the restaurant. The decor looked more drab and like a diner than I expected. I assumed it would be more like the other hip, upscale restaurants in the Oregon District. We started with cocktails, an espresso martini and an old fashioned, that were very good...my husband commented that it was one of the best old fashions he's had in a while. We then ordered 3 small plates from their Happy Hour menu to share. The shrimp and grits were tasty but only 2 shrimp, even for a small plate, seems skimpy. The charcuterie was some grilled bread, a very small amount of cheddar cheese and sliced salami, some jam, and "pickled vegetables" which were grated carrots and two slices of jalapeno in a condiment cup. The poutine was just odd. Instead of a beef gravy and cheese curds on top of fries, it was deconstructed: a bowl of gray mushroom gravy with a small pile of fries and fried cheese curds. Overall, it was a decent meal and the server was good, but I wouldn't choose it above any of the other restaurants in the area.

This visit we sat on the side patio in the late afternoon, enjoying the people-watching and a great meal. The beer-battered fried mushrooms were some of the best anywhere -- hand-battered, perfectly fried, and loaded with fresh, tender mushrooms. We also had the peri peri chicken and Lily's Bowl with tuna, both packed with flavor and made with fresh ingredients. For great food, friendly service, and a relaxed atmosphere, Lily's is hard to beat. Highly recommend.
