    This was the best meal of my life. My dad and I went and ate at 3 Michelin star restaurants in a span of 3 days and lilac blew it out of the water. The service was too notch everyone was willing to talk and have banter back and forth it was attentive without being stuck up. The mocktails were really a good choice I have never had sparkling tea and it was really good. All of the food was on point you will definitely not leave hungry. The team did a great job there was never to much down time in between courses it was spot in. Everyone was very knowledgeable about the food and I told our server to let the chef decide on my meal and I will continue to do so. I suggest Lilac for anyone's first Michelin star experience as it has moved to the top of my best meal that I have ever had. The atmosphere also was really nice only around 15 or so tables still quiet and able to watch the chefs work.

    All around great dinner! The purple potato bread was terrific, the steaks were cooked perfectly, and the baked potatoes rocked. Thankfully there are still quality restaurants that use porcelain dishes and fresh ingredients. So good. Treat yourself to a visit.

    The manager was great, along with our server. They recently changed their menu, so what's online isn't reflected of that yet. My steak was cooked perfectly, and our drinks were very good. We will be back
