My husband and I decided to step out for a date night. It was Saturday night and we entered the restaurant at 6:50 PM. We did not have a reservation and were told the next available table would be 8 PM or we could sit at the bar. We decided to take the bar seating and so glad we did. The bartender was such a nice man and an amazing server. We started off with a prosciutto and mozzarella app thinking it was more of a salad presentation. Instead three little fried dough balls were presented to us. Good but not great. My husband ordered the filet which was cooked perfectly and delicious however the mashed potatoes it was served on were dry, cold and lumpy. I ordered the chicken scarpriello and thought it covered all bases! Sweet peppers, savory chicken, spicy sausage, greens and a sauce that I made me want to lick my plate. Lily's is such a nice restaurant choice in Gastonia!
