The food was AMAZING! Highly recommend the duck sausage small plate. I also had one of the best steaks in my life. The staff was friendly and the ambiance set the perfect mood for date night.Will go back again.

My sister works in the Fort Worth area and suggested meeting for lunch. She eats there 1-3 times a week but this was my first visit. She order the salmon. It is a salmon with homemade blue cheese dressing. The dressing is considered their house dressing...AMAZING. Very creamy. I ordered the Greek salad and sandwich. Both tasted fresh. I believe the bread was made in that morning...it was amazing.

Good little spot for decadent foods with a creative presentation. Excellent service. Unfortunately, No liquor, only wine and beer. Casual attire. Only half of the restaurant is serviced by the live music.

Have been here multiple times for lunch and dinner and I enjoy it each and every time. I decided to try the recommended doughnuts for the first time and I must say.. OMG!!! I dream about these!!! Must try!!!

Best place for a chill date night. Nice enough to feel like your getting out, but casual enough that you're not uncomfortable. Jazz music while eating at the bar is my favorite.

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! This place is a home run. The food is out of this world. Great service and wonderful ambience. We had the brief with jalapenos for apps and it was marvelous. Dinner was chipotle scampi and pork loin with green salsa; both were divine. Dessert was coffee and donuts (house special)...out of this world. Live music and very good (not rushed) service. This is a must-visit! Tuesday-Thursday is half-price (only 1) bottle of wine. Absolutely perfect for date night!

My favorite burger is from Lili’s. House burger on a jalapeño bun! Their fried pickles are the best! Nice environment, too.

Lili’s Bistro on Magnolia was a wonderful place to have a dinner date night with my husband. The wine we had was delicious, our quail appetizer was well seasoned and tasty. Our main course we ordered the Poblano Burger and it was amazing! The meat was tender, the jalapeño bun was excellent. Everything about our dining experience was perfect. Lili’s also had talented Jazz musicians so they really helped set the mood for a relaxing and delicious dining experience! We will come back again! Thank you for your amazing service and food!

This is a great place for casual dining with some really interesting food choices. We had the "nachos " for starters and to my surprise they weren't on chips but pita bread chips. Amazing! The wedge salads were awesome and unfortunately we had to end the run there. We had Burgers that really fell short. The poblano stuffed burger was great except for the "MEAT" was not good. It was like premade meat patties like on the lunch tray in high school...The next time we go I will order it with chicken breast. That should solve the problem. Or they could just actually make the patties from fresh chuck Angus meat.

Great food and a relaxing environment! The peppercorn crusted Rib eye was awesome, the house Cab was great on the 1/2 price deal and the coffee icecream and house made donuts were awesome! The key lime pie is gluten free and just like being in the keys!

Nice selection of entrees to choose from. The salads are really good as well. I was truly impressed by the service we received. Staff available immediately but usually have already anticipated your needs. Live piano music during our visit that was a nice touch.

We went on a busy Friday night on Magnolia and were seated immediately. Alexandra waited on us and she was by far the kindest and most accommodating waitress we’ve had in a long time. Definitely request her when you go. The food was fantastic and we will be back many more times.

So good! If you want lamb cooked to perfection, this is the place. (I suggest medium) We had appetizer, 4 different dishes, and 2 desserts. It was all delicious. The service was fabulous too. We will be back!

Great food! The Rosemary Polenta was heavenly. Lili's rice just okay. A full bar would make it better! Still, go for the food. Delicious!

Unique foods. Similar creative cooking as "Fixe" Restaurant, with a Southern flair. Southern Down Country atmosphere and great soft jazz live music. A favorite with locals and visitors alike. A must try. Casual attire. You will not be disappointed I assure you.

We tried Lili's for the first time yesterday and I liked it. If you are going on a Friday night, definitely make reservations. We started with the apricot jalapeno brie, which was pretty good. I got the lobster ravioli and my husband the gnocchi. We both liked our dishes but for me, my dish was pretty small for the cost ($28). Our waiter was very friendly and helpful as well. I would definitely come back here again.

I celebrated my PhD today in this great restaurant. Well it was a incredible evening and the place was indeed the reason for the happy meeting. The crew collaborated in a splendid way, the cuisine was extremely good and my friends were so overjoyed. We shall absolutely visit again for more joyful events. Thank you very much.

I don’t even know where to begin with this place. Absolutely phenomenal all around. My husband and I share a birthday and went there tonight with a couple friends. When I made the reservation I was asking a lot of questions since I had never been. They were sooo awesome and patient with me. We arrive, it’s so quaint and such a great atmosphere. We sat on the piano side... perfect sound level and wondeful performance. But the food. Omg the menu was so unique and absolutely DELICIOUS!!! This will definitely be on my list to take people to!! A new favorite for me! Thanks Lili’s for making my last birthday in my 30’s a great one! :)

Where do you start? Well, the fries of course! They're amazing and totally worthy of sharing with the table or hogging for yourself. I had the house burger and a Greek wedge salad which didn't last long at all. Super fun atmosphere and I hear they have great live music at night. Parking is tough but where isn't it on Magnolia? Can't wait to comeback!

First time here at Lili’s. Came in at lunch, was greeted in an acceptable time frame, had a small table within minutes. As I was alone, I didn’t mind getting a table by the door as it was one of few two tops in the restaurant.I ordered coffee, Spanish lentil soup, and quail sliders.My server, Adela, who was knowledgeable, polite, personable (a little bit), and well spoken, while not being overly familiar, asked if “I’d like the soup first.” Bonus points for asking. The soup was very tasty.The quail sliders were fabulous. She warned me there could be some spice that got through, and it was a solid warning because I got two bites with fresh jalapeño- it wasn’t bad at all but I’m glad she told me. More bonus points. I paid a little over $22 for the meal. Very reasonable and certainly worth the price. Overall a nice experience in a sweet little place. I’ll definitely come back.✌🏻

Always great food and good service. Tonight we got there 10 minutes before it opened and they were kind enough to let us come in and sit at the bar. Also, it's great to hear the live jazz in the evenings.

LOVE THIS LITTLE BISTRO! Everything on lunch menu has been a home run! The peach tea is always the first thing I order. Then I ponder until I decide which delicious dish I want and joke about how I’m going to make sure that I save room for dessert. Oh my goodness their dessert!!!! Do not leave without trying their dessert or taking some with you. I’ve even just gone there for just dessert! You should try dessert :) Nice piano bar, nice dining area, nice patio. Lovely locally owned restaurant with fantastic staff and owner! You will not leave disappointed or hungry!

Have been going there for years now every time I'm in town visiting family. Last time had the clam chowder and oh my was the best I've ever had. The next night the owner, who is great by the way, sent over a bunch of it to a house where we were having a get to together. I must of ate 6 more bowls of it that night. Oh yeah, the rest of the menu is also good, lol. Love to eat at places where they really care about the food they put out and serve.

I proposed to my fiancée here a few weeks ago during lunch. Everything about our experience was perfect. The staff and manager Manny were very helpful to me as I pulled off the proposal. I'd like to come back here again, this time for supper.
