Comment: What a splendid meal at Lilian! Had seen great reviews of their menu and had to give it a try myself!
We ordered fresh market oysters, wood fired bread and the smoothest chicken liver parfait I have ever had! They were out of tua tua that night, but instead we had juicy diamond clams with a spicy 'Nduja as well as a woodfired pizza with prosciutto, grapes, parmesan and thyme.
Lilian doesn't take bookings unless it's for groups of 6 or more. So we went early at around 5:45 on a Friday and still had to wait 20 minutes for a table. However, it was worth the wait!

Comment: The sashimi starter was solid A grade restaurant fare.
Then it got better. The peach starter and the heirloom tomato starters were some of the best starters ever.
Then it all went downhill quickly. The tuatua pizza had very few tuatua and was quite burnt (carcinogenic). It was also very spicy.
The fish of the day was tasty. However the portion size was miserably small. Put the price up if you have to but give us more!
The service was fine and the cost was very decent at $180 for 3 with no drinks.

Comment: Incredible food, amazing selection of wines and yummy cocktails and a stunning fit out. Well worth it if you have to wait for a table and one of the best places that has opened in Auckland in the last 12 months.

Comment: I found the ambience and the food quite nice the first time I had visited. Yesterday was my second visit and while waiting for my friend I ordered an $18 drink - orange and chilli margarita. The attached photo is how the drink was served.. it looks like somebody had already taken a sip! I thought to myself maybe this is how it's meant to be served. Later on, I saw other people order the drink and saw them getting the drinks full cup which definitely left me puzzled. Oh well it was a nice drink but I won’t be returning.

Comment: Amazing original tasty food, fantastic service. Will be back. Only fault was the back door constantly being left open by those heading off to use the bathroom. So we had to constantly get up to close it otherwise we froze. Ruined a bit of the atmosphere. Still warrants 5 stars coz we had a fantastic time otherwise.
