We had not booked anywhere for an evening meal and after visiting several restaurants in the town we were struggling to find somewhere that had tables available, we stumbled on Lily Mais and so glad we did, the friendly staff greeted us and showed us to a table (some tables have great views of the sea and pier)
We were served promptly, and the service was excellent.
We ordered sea food platter, steak and ribs and Lilys classic burger and we all enjoyed it!.
Reasonably priced for a good standard restaurant, would recommend it.
Middle range menu well priced in excellent location overlooking the sea. Effort is made to dress up the food which is nice, servers were friendly and got everything right. We were there with no booking, off-peak time 4pm and sat in one of the three windows. Place is clean & modern, not swanky or sumptuous, our food was well prepared and good value, outlook to the sea is a winner for a seaside day trip on a grey day in September.
Excellent customer service especially when I was supporting a disabled guy on his holiday in Cromer Awesome atmosphere. Paid my compliments to the chef. The lasagna was banging.
Fantastic food, service excellent, were very knowledgeable over gluten free diet.
First time visit - omg wow 👌 👏 absolutely 💯 percent impressed not just by prompt efficient service but also by quality and speed of food plus all important presentation and serving etc.
Had a good meal here , staff were attentive and it had a nice airy feel to the place . we had couple of starters and main courses which were well presented and quite tasty, we ate in the bar area were dogs were allowed which is good. menu was varied and a good selection of drinks to suit all
Lovely food, £100 per family of 4 with a few drinks.
Service took some time, we had reservations for 630 and left at 8:15 with no starters. However, they did knock 10% off the final bill
A great place to eat. Visited today for lunch with my parents and their 2 dogs. Waitress was very friendly and welcoming. Excellent service, good choice on the menu and the food was fresh , hot and tasted amazing. Would definitely eat here again
Fantastic food, chef cooks with passion, great wait staff. We visited on a quiet Monday evening but received a warm welcome. The food really was exceptional, good quality, great depth of flavour, unique spins on dishes. The side salad served with items is fresh, good quality, a great mix of flavours - lovely picked radishes - we would recommend the hummus, halloumi fries, the fish platter and the Binham Blue Burger. Coleslaw has shredded basil, amazing addition to it! Don't miss the BBQ onion rings - they are outstanding!! Very reasonable prices too. We will be going again before we leave Cromer this week.
My family and I had a lovely meal with a great view of the pier and sea.
It was really busy but we still recieved outstanding food and plenty of drinks. Highly recommended
Absolutely amazing place, food exquisite and fantastic quality for a great price! Cocktails are delicious too!! They have recently had a refurb and the place has got a great vibe to it! Staff are wonderful and the people who run it are the really great people. It's not the closest place for us but we intend on coming back as it is a very special place run really well! Sea views too if you can get a table near the window, and if not then the restaurant and bar have great vibes anyway! Would highly recommend you will not be disappointed!!
Travelled from hemsby after day at work , googled for somewhere to eat , lily mais looked great , turned up with no booking . After looking inside we asked for window view , although all booked the young lady offered us a window table , allowing us 2 hr to eat , before the table was required for booking , this was much appreciated, the view was lovely and relaxing .
Served by a lovely waitress , so polite and friendly .
Food was better than expected , steaks were so tasty and cooked perfect .
Left nice and full , and took a stroll along the front and walked it off .
Will definitely make this trip again for our dinner .
Lovely food very tasty definitely worth a visit for the food although they had run out of alot of items on the menu. Service was very slow and the sides we ordered never arrived even though we enquired about them twice. Staff were friendly. Service was very slow that we were told when clearing the plates that the kitchen was now closed we wouldn't be able to have dessert. Our table was booked for 7.15pm!!!!
We stumbled upon this place when realising we had 8 people in our party on a busy lunchtime so couldn't find anywhere to eat. Lily-Mai's is kind of hidden as a random door on the street saying restaurant. We took a chance and was pleasantly surprised. It is a formal dining experience but at lunch time we had the kids straight from the beach and didn't feel completely underdressed. The kids all ordered from the children's menu and enjoyed it. The chicken goujons could have been larger for then. It had 2 but i think 3 would have been reasonable especially next to the kids burger which was far more filling. The adults all had the Classic burger and it was great. Good quality meat and house relish, the slaw had a bit of dill and the salad dressed nicely. Just the little extras that elevate a standard burger to something really good.
