Je suis allé au restaurant Lylac avec ma famille & mon expérience a été très décevante.
D'abord, les portions sont vraiment petites. La quantité de nourriture n'est pas du tout convenable, surtout pour le prix payé. En plus de ça, la qualité des plats n'était pas au rendez-vous - ce n'était tout simplement pas bon, & certains plats semblaient manquer de fraîcheur.
Le service était presque moyen. Nous avons dû attendre environ 15 minutes juste pour avoir du pain ou de la sauce à l'ail, ce qui est beaucoup trop long. De plus, le personnel ne semblait pas très attentif & il était difficile d'obtenir de l'aide ou un suivi à la table sachant qu'il y a quelques tables seulement remplies.
De manière générale, c'est très cher pour ce qui est offert. Pour une famille de 2 adultes & 3 enfants, j'ai payé environ 211$ (taxes & pourboire de 15 % inclus), & honnêtement, nous ne nous sommes même pas sentis à moitié satisfaits.
L'ambiance n'était pas particulièrement agréable & le rapport qualité-prix est vraiment mauvais.
Je ne recommande pas cet endroit.

Very disappointing experience. The portions are extremely small & the food didn't taste good. Service was slow - we waited about 15 minutes just for bread & garlic sauce. Overall, it's overpriced for what you get. Paid around $211 for a family of 5 & left not even half satisfied. Not recommended.

We had the degustation menu & everything was fresh & delicious. The atmosphere & service were also impeccable. Our waitress Karla was the sweetest!! Definitely recommend - we'll be back
We hosted our baby shower for 65 people at Lylac & it exceeded all expectations. The Middle Eastern buffet was fresh, flavorful, & offered generous portions that everyone enjoyed. Each dish was well-prepared & beautifully presented, giving our guests plenty of variety. The staff were highly professional & attentive, handling every detail so we could relax & fully enjoy the celebration. The space accommodated our large group comfortably, & everything ran smoothly from setup to service. 10/10 recommend.
They charge you a $50 mandatory tip for group of 6 on your card
I paid $330 on my card & the next day I noticed that they charged me $379.4.
They are scammers. Be aware!!!
On groups they should give you a discount not charging you more.
I will never visit again.
Food is not good quality
Pepsi was expiry date & even they charged it on the invoice & the bill is expensive for 2 people
I won't return to this restaurant
I had my bridal shower here & I was a little nervous because when we got here there was a lot of people & I was nervous that we wouldn't have time to set up BUT this team was on fire, cleaned up so fast & made everything so reassuring for us. Thank you so much to Nada, Charbel, Garo, Hamdouch & Torros for their amazing service, welcoming & sweetness toward myself & also our group!

My family & I came for Iftar during Ramadan 2026. The food was really good & every meal came on time. We didn't wait a minute when the time of Iftar was in.
Very bad experience !!! Food not fresh not delicious !! Plus the pepsi cans were expired !! They didnt even apologize & when the bill is served !! Ohh they charged it !!! & everything is overpriced
A wonderful evening & experience , a great atmosphere, love the decor . The food was delicious & flavorful, we had their unique syrian gastronomy experience menu & really we had a little taste of everything & everything was great !! The service was A1 our server charbel was very helpful in explaining the different dishes & was very patient with us. I would recommend this place & we will definitely be back !!
This was a very disappointing experience. The value for money is extremely poor considering the overall quality of the food & service.
The mezzes which are usually the highlight of any Lebanese restaurant were particularly underwhelming. Most dishes lacked flavor & depth. They felt bland & uninspired rather than fresh & vibrant.
The grilled filet mignon was tough & difficult to cut while the chicken was dry & overly charred which made it unpleasant to eat.
Overall the experience did not justify what we spent, $125 per person, & I wouldn't return.
Food was decent I guess, but the service was disappointing. It took nearly 20 minutes to take our order while other tables were being attended to several times. No one checked on us after we got our food, & if we hadn't asked for the bill, nobody would have come to our table. Mind you the restaurant wasn't even busy. It's been a while since I've been this disappointed in customer service. No one smiled or seemed welcoming. Wouldn't recommend.
