ABOUT us
"You learn a lot about someone when you share a meal together."
Anthony Bourdain
Lily's Dayton is a warm, welcoming and quirky restaurant with a bar program that focuses on tiki-inspired cocktails and an eclectic, elevated-but-casual global menu.
With our three outdoor patios and an interior incorporating lush botanical elements, our goal at Lily's is to transport people out of their daily lives to somewhere else, to escape the struggles around us all and and instead to kick back and relax, to enjoy life and be able to step for a brief time into a sort of vacation-mood with good food and tasty cocktails (often garnished with an umbrella!)
Our menu created by Executive Chef Don Warfe combines Lily's favorites like our fried chicken, shrimp & grits, deviled eggs, and other American Southern dishes with eclectic global and tropical flavors designed to pair with our tiki-inspired craft cocktail program. We offer thoughtfully selected wines by the glass and bottle and a selection of curated craft beers. Walk ins always welcome, but reservations are accepted and can be made online at https://www.exploretock.com/lilys/ We hope to see you soon! -The Mendenhall family and the Lily's Crew

While we take reservations as a courtesy, we are a casual eatery and drinkery and not formal dining by any means. We aim to seat you as close to your reservation time as possible, but sometimes there will be an additional wait, especially if you would like a specific area inside or outside. We allot about 1.5 hours per table. Parties of 6 or more require a $5 deposit per person that applies to the bill. Deposits will be refunded if cancellation is provided 24-hours in advance.
It's been hard for all of us a for a long period, including our business and our staff who have worked with the public the entire time. We are stoked to welcome you and provide some good food and tasty cocktails out, and expect to be treated kindly in return <3

Special events and large parties are determined on a case by case basis, as we have needed to focus on rebuilding after drastically changing our business during Covid19.
