Natalie Ellis★★★★★

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at The Lively. Our party of five was collectively wowed from the first cocktail to the last bite. The drinks were gorgeous and delicious (dangerous in the best way), and the food was next-level. We loved stepping outside our comfort zone and trying dishes we’d never had before. The Côte de Boeuf was ordered by one brave soul at the table and came out perfectly cooked. The Spanish octopus was basically edible art: fun to look at, fun to eat, and gone far too quickly. Honestly, every plate that hit the table looked like it belonged in a gallery. We’ll be

The food is absolutely amazing, top notch! The cocktails were very good, the steak tartare is a must try appetizer. The burger with the pancetta jam is worth going for, and the coffee and donuts dessert hit the spot at the end. I'll definitely be coming back!

We had a wonderful dinner at the Lively! Our server Sierra was incredibly kind and very attentive! Apart from the incredible service I would say food was very mediocre! The octopus dish was very overcooked, steak tar tar was average and their pasta was not great! Reuben sandwich was amazing and would fully recommend! Good experience but not sure if it’s worth coming back to!

**This review is just for the Valentine’s Day Tea** Overall: it was decent, but I don’t have a desire to go again. The Organic Smith Tea selection was really great! Lots of herbal and caffeinated tea options. I did not have a cocktail so I can’t speak to that aspect. The tartlet with smoked salmon mousse, crème fraîche, caviar, and dill was very tasty. The crostini with whipped goat cheese, kumquat preserve, and sorrel had a really great combo of flavors. The Pain D’épices hit middle of the road for me- interesting flavor profile (foie gras ganache, cocoa nibs and thyme) but didn’t blow me
