Lilys is still BYO, which is great! From what I saw, there wasn't even an uncorking fee! The edamame was delicious, the rolls are always great, and this time I tried the seafood pad thai. It was a good portion with lots of things to add, but the flavor was very off for me! A big menu to try so I will definitely be back but staying away from that pad Thai!

My husband and I had a fantastic lunch at this very quaint and cozy Asian restaurant…read more We were seated by the window so we could have both privacy and people watch. The waiter was very kind and told me that I could order the AYCE sushi while my husband ordered a lunch bento. I LOVED my AYCE lunch- I included a photo of the menu. Instead of ordering the usual rolls, I ordered each one of their specialty rolls which came in 4 pieces which was great since that meant I got to try more varieties! All the rolls were mouth watering satisfying! I loved the black seasame panna cotta dessert too. Not too sweet. I highly recommend this restaurant for the ambience and quality of food. Will visit again!

The first time I went there was in 2009 on the recommendation of a friend who used to have a Japanese restaurant. With job changes, going back to school, and plunging headfirst into a turbulent new career with multiple job changes, I never got back there until 2022. And guess what? They remembered me! The staff is genuinely friendly. They remember what I like, and a few times I've described dishes that weren't on the menu--and they made them perfectly. They actually listen, and that level of care is rare. The wine and beer selection fits my tastes really well, which is a nice bonus. Every time I visit, the atmosphere is happy and relaxed. I often see other customers come in and get greeted like old friends, and it's clear this place means something to a lot of people. It's not just a meal--it's a place that lifts your mood. Okura has become one of my favorite spots. Friendly people, great food, and a warm, welcoming vibe every time.

It's been a year and we're regulars now, so I guess it's only right to update. Staff is all great…read moreand personable. The sushi is *consistent* and delicious. Over the last year, we've seen them make updates to the interior and menu, including adding some great sake options. I love love the sushi specials but wish they switched them up monthly again. We've tried enough of the menu that we don't stray from our favorites, so we love seeing when there's something new. Great for groups, there's a private dining area. We tend to avoid peak times, though, because they get busy with online orders and customers on hot dining nights! The lunch bento box is also an awesome deal and they do a great job with the tempura. I really could go on, we really enjoy our meals here. There is also a great non-sushi menu for those who don't want fish. While we have found things that aren't for us, we haven't had anything *bad* here.

We sat at the bar and ordered drinks and the guy brought our food over for us :) The burgers were great and we loved the pickle that came with it. We got takeout for family and they ordered the Kennett Chicken Nashville Sandwich, Mac n cheese & the blue cheese coleslaw. The sandwich was a little spicy but very good, the macaroni was delicious and they really liked the coleslaw. Two others ordered Korean food and both said they really liked it. Everyone we encountered was very friendly and we really enjoyed our food. The only negative was the restrooms were not very clean. Can't wait to come back!

Came here for dinner with my wife and infant son on the first night of our 11-day east coast trip,…read moreand honestly it set the perfect vibe for the rest of the trip. The food gives you that fine dining experience without the pretentiousness. The staff is warm and friendly -- shout out to Chet for his amazing service. They were also very accommodating to our son who was in between napping when we began dining, setting up a high chair for us in a way that would allow him to continue sleeping in his car seat. We started the meal off with some seared scallops that were perfectly arranged. Next, my wife had some seared tuna while I ordered the Colorado bison -- both items off of the special seasonal menu. The dishes were incredibly flavorful and the veggies that surrounded the meat added a nice complement. I also really enjoyed my California cab, as did my wife with her house Manhattan. We will definitely be back next time we are in Delaware, and highly recommend to anyone visiting the Hockessin area!

We dined here last week. The service was excellent. The…read morefood was good for the most part. Points to improve: my appetizer of country pate was served with blackened toast. (Server rectified) The pasta carbonara was prepared using guanciale instead of bacon or pancetta. I found it too rich and almost over cooked. The duck wings appetizer my friend had were excellent. The fresh fish entree was delicious. The cheesecake dessert was a thing of beauty. I would probably try again, but it's a half an hour away. (We passed way too many other restaurants to try)

After our less than stellar experience the first time we came here, I had given honest but…read moreconstructive feedback on OpenTable regarding the restaurant. The manager had reached out to me on OpenTable and offered to send me a gift certificate to encourage me to come back, so we did that last night and our experience was AMAZING and truly one of the best meals we've ever had even with some of the sides, not being our favorite. We happened to have an entire area of the restaurant to ourselves and our waiter was attentive, gave great recommendations and was friendly. I had a piña colada sangria and a glass of sweet riesling, both of which were excellent. My boyfriend had two old fashions which he also really enjoyed. Once again, we were blown away by the appetizers. The crab dip is probably one of the best things you can get here. The grilled Caesar had excellent flavor and the shrimp were a good size. They were offering a special Wagyu steak that evening, which I decided to get and my boyfriend had the 12 ounce New York strip. This was my first time having Wagyu and it was cooked perfectly, medium rare to my liking and just melted in my mouth. We also ordered sides of plump crab meat so that we could top our steak with it, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, and shredded brussels sprouts with bruschetta. While the mac & cheese and shredded Brussels left more to be desired, it didn't lessen our dining experience in the least. We ended dinner by sharing a delicious crème brûlée served with a biscotti (not picture because we ate it too fast!) If it hadn't been for the manager Michael teaching out to let me know he heard my feedback and offering a gift certificate to dine with them again, we probably wouldn't have come back, given this is about a 45 minute drive from the city. But I can honestly say that this experience completely changed our view of the restaurant and we will definitely be returning for future celebrations.

We sat for dinner tonight and had Craig as our server. It was not crazy busy on a Tuesday night. We always love the quality of food. My husband had the filet mignon and I had the seafood ravioli. Both were amazing. We spilt the chopped salad and could not believe they charged $1.00 for splitting the $14 salad between the two of us. Really? After a $70 steak, you charge a splitting fee? The principle does not sit well with us. The service, unfortunately, was not what I expect. He did get tables all at once, which I understand, but we felt like our table of 'only' two was a burden. I really do not like leaving a restaurant feeling like that. All in all, the food is always amazing from a taste perspective. The bar experience for a couple cocktails is also always great. They really need to work on the service aspect in the restaurant. Customers should never feel like a burden. We do love the ambiance in general and the quality of food has not disappointed.
