This was our first time to Lilyann’s Steakhouse and we enjoyed it very much. The service was exceptional. Our waitress was attentive and very nice and helpful. Our food was cooked perfectly and tasted wonderful. The only suggestion I can think of is maybe a sound barrier near the kitchen to lessen the noise. It was a little loud at our which was by the kitchen. We had a great experience and look forward to coming back soon. TB
