Restaurants near Sawyer Playground

Booked a tea experience at Lily's & Elise to make up for a missed tea event on a Cruise in December. What we got was beyond our expectations in every way! The staff was wonderful (esp. Crystal), the food was spectacular in presentation, taste, and portion size, and the property was in tip top shape, including the rest rooms! My wife and I went for afternoon tea which some might think would be a few things to "nibble". It was essentially a lunch for two (with a raft of exotic teas) and a dessert tray to rivaled most of those I've seen in this vicinity. We'll be going back soon ... especially now that we've found out they have a robust menu including breakfast, brunch, tea, and "patisserie" ( read French pastries). Based on our conversation with Anna, the manager, the concept for the operation came from an establishment in NIce, France. We'll be in Nice this spring and we are sure it will bring back memories for us of Lily's & Elise on Livernois!

This is truly a hidden gem in the city of Detroit. I truly enjoyed myself. I gave my daughter a surprise birthday party 🥳and we enjoyed everything. We laughed and enjoyed great food and time together. We were a Party of 7 and our waitress porsha was absolutely amazing. I’ll be going back to try the brunch next time. Don’t sleep on this place ;)

We had the best night at this awesome location. The staff was attentive and sweet! The food was delicious! The decorations were so cute and so generous- even shared some chocolate! It was really a great experience. We enjoyed some of the other visitors as well. May become our new Valentine tradition. The staff was so nice and food so good that even though we have another location closer to us, we will make a point to come here and visit. Excellent! Thanks for a fun and delicious night!

This was such a wonderful experience for Valentines Day. The food was good and the atmosphere was full of love with people celebrating anniversary and the love of the crave. We will be back next year.
