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.

Fantastic. No reservations, walked in, the hostess asked if we had reservationsome, no, she said she would try to accommodate, and did. Alexandra, our waitress, very knowledgeable engaging and on top of our events need. Excellent service, excellent food. Get the doughnuts and coffee ice cream. It's phenomenal..

Our service expert Ms. Della was awesome! The barbequed quail and Asian crab cakes were a heck of a starter! I had the scallops with dirty risotto. My brother had the seafood trio. My sis had the double lobster ravioli! All were amazingly delicious! Pair that with 2 bottles of pilot and call that a GREAT NIGHT!

Thank you Vance for delivering our Essential Staff your delicious Salmon and Tilapia for lunch. We've been friends over 25 years and you always treated Mom and Dad with dignity, respect and VIP treatment. I'll never forget that.

Food and service were great. One of the management came out after our meal to rudely ask "what I want to know is, who is going to pick up the confetti?". The confetti was about 2 handfuls that had been placed down the middle of the table, with permission from someone at the restaurant. It was incredibly rude and off putting, ruined what was otherwise a nice baby shower celebration.

My hands down fav place to eat...because it doesnt matter if you are having lunch with the girls, brunch with your parents or a romantic night out with the MR....it fits every situation.LOVE IT!

I love it here for too many reasons to list. It's a must try. Nothing ordinary about this little gem. I haven't had anything I didn't like here; Live music, good food, and great atmosphere. This place is great for first time or any time fancy but laxed dates. It has a a romantic, dim appearance inside. My guy scored points with this effortless but experienced impression.

Cozy but vibrant. Live music is always a good backdrop without being too loud. Food selections are varied, interesting and well prepared. Always presented fresh and hot. Reservations recommended.

The only reason Lili's deserves this many stars is that the food is pretty great. Service was horrendous. We made a reservation a week ahead and were immediately seated right in front of the kitchen doors near the restroom. Our server ignored us for the first 10 minutes. When I asked the hostesses for a table in the room with the bar and live music, explained that we had reserved a week ahead and had already stated that it was for my birthday, we were told we should have requested a table on that side when we called (it was our first time there)! We were not re-seated and couldn't hear any music whatsoever. Our server had already been told we weren't thrilled about our spot, and didn't do much to make the evening better. We shared the Lili's house nachos, bacon wrapped quail and green chili pork. The food was decadent and hot. The server removed our drink glasses and never offered another. It definitely did not feel like a birthday dinner.

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.

I ate here for my 10th weeding anniversary and the food and service were top notch. I have never ate lamb until that night, now that is my new favorite meat. The donuts are to die for and quail breasts wrapped in bacon should be a staple to start any dinner with. Great place, I will continue to come to this Bistro as long as they allow me to come.

Ambience was wonderful. Staff was very attentive. Food selection was amazing and intriguing. We got Lobster Ravioli and Seafood Trio. Both were excellent! Then the donuts for dessert. Highly recommend to all.

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.



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.

Terrific food. This place can really make some good grub. Their beer selection could be better. Its a nice atmosphere especially when they have a live jazz trio playing in the corner. One of my favorite places to go

An excellent place for a romantic night out in Fort Worth. The food is very exquisite and traditional Italian. This isn't your chain Italian food. The chef even came out to our table to make sure we enjoyed the food and had a good time. They have a bar you can wait at for your table and everything.

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! More

I have been eating at this place since it was new and much smaller. Some of the best food I've eaten has been in this place! I love the atmosphere. If you order a burger get the jalapeno bun! So fresh and so good! I'm thankful it has gotten larger over the years and now they have a second outdoor eating area. Service has always been great as well Strongly suggest you try it!

I love this place! They serve fantastic meals, their menu is rich, The cook in that restaurant is very trained, I enjoy a lot eating all their dishes. The food is consistently of high qualtity, the service towards the clients is nice. I visit often this place and I not even once was unsatisfied. I recommend it to all.

One of the best meals I ve had in a long time. The scallops and dirty risotto was top notch. The doughnuts with coffee ice cream was the perfect way to finish a meal. Great service, atmosphere, and location; definitely recommend!

The food is healthy and delicious, and has some really unique flavors. The building is old and they've really kept the charm. I've been here plenty of times and enjoyed myself each time.

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!

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!

What a fantastic menu. Creative but practical. Something for everyone. Peach mangi tea spot on. Food done well. What a fine. Wish they had this in dallas. We could use some imagination. The desserts to die for

I ordered the double lobster ravioli after reading another reviewer say it was one of their top five favorite meals they've ever eaten. I have to say I came to the same conclusion. I'm not a good critic by any means and will eat just about anything, but the layers of flavor in that dish were soooo incredibly good.

Restaurant has co-opted street parking for itself on a street with limited parking. Told us to leave, with no mask and closer than 6 feet. Would never eat here due to lack of respect for other people. This is not how you encourage other people to visit your restaurant during a pandemic.

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.

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! :)

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've visited this establishment twice and really enjoyed it both times. The beer selection changes (on tap) and they do run out of beers sometimes. The selection is amazing though and the food is very good! We plan to return.

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.

Very delicious food. I would highly suggest the Gorgonzola Fries and the Coffee Crusted Salmon. These were amazing dishes. The staff was very busy but I never felt like I wasted any time trying to flag someone down.

Date night. Had to wait a bit for our reservation. That bothers me but whatever. Had to squeeze to our table in the back corner which turned out to be the best spot in the restaurant. We had a bottle of wine while enjoying the duck sausage bites (so tasty!) and the escargot (mostly mushroom but still good) and then asked for the check. I don't understand why this throws off servers. Great place. We will definitely be back.

Edit: return visit
Wednesday dinner
Quick to get a table. Very nice server.
House cab (half off) was less than mediocre. Id be super bummed to spend $40 on it. Very bad wine choice for house.
Quail was perfectly (reiterate: perfectly) cooked but just tasted like stubbs bbq sauce. Ruined it. Ok but kind of whatever.
Lobster raviolis were fantastic and the sauce mostly tasted of lemon but was good. The "tempura" lobster that accompanied it was more like soggy undercooked beer batter lobster. Total bummer.
Banana pudding. Hard pass. Layer of sliced bananas in a bowl filled with whipped cream with a cookie on the side? Seriously?

I love good food and dont mind paying for it. I order PBR at the bar but have no problem spending $100 on dinner. This dinner was disappointing so we will most likely Not return.
