  This was an unexpected gem to find. We were going to just do appetizers but ended up having a seasonal soup and salad and then split an entree as our server did such a great job describing the menu options.
  
  We split the regular burger and there was nothing regular about it. We each had leftovers for the next day. It was wonderful!
  
  The bread pudding is also very well done.
  
  The seating area is simple and there is a back bar area. The staff as a whole is very friendly and multiple servers stopped by to refill our waters. The chef came by nearly every table that I could tell and checked on meals and even came out beforehand to one table near us to discuss allergy alternatives.
  
  The entire place was just unexpectedly charming and had a surprisingly high end feel to it.

  We stopped in here for a couple of drinks before dinner at another establishment.
  
  I ordered an old fashioned, and my beautiful wife had a hot and dirty martini. (Extra dirty martini with a couple splashes of their homemade hot sauce).
  
  My old fashioned had so much ice, I couldn't enjoy the drink without being accosted by an ice bath. I wasn't sure if I was enjoying a cocktail or just won a bowl game.
  
  The drink itself was okay....not great. What happens to ice when you pour liquor over it?  Yup...it sure does get cold, but it also gets watered down.
  
  Raven and Lily needs to invest in proper ice cubes for craft cocktails.  
  
  The martini my wife says was really good which is what earned an extra star...as well as the good service from Tina.

  Eh. The restaurant was unbelievably noisy and I was shocked at how small the space is.
  they put us in the back of the restaurant by the kitchen which was odd and it felt like everyone was tripping over us and made it incredibly hard for my dad to hear anything.
  I swear to god if I had to see one more raven themed piece of art I was going to scream. We get it, it's a pun based on the title of the restaurant, we know!
  I ordered a glass of Prosecco and the one brand they carried tasted like watered down apple juice with bubbles. Really gross. The waitress also never offered to refill my drink or if I wanted another.... so there's that.
  
  I'm next to positive our waitress was drunk. She stared at my ID for no less than 4 full minutes and then felt the need to comment on my name and eye color.... which I find wildly inappropriate and invasive. She forgot my dad's appetizer so his soup was incredibly late and cut into the time that his entree was served. She was really spaced out, forgot several items, was incredibly slow and really she just appeared very intoxicated. She was slurring and hanging onto the table behind us and it was wildly unprofessional and made me very uncomfortable and I wanted to leave before the food was ever served.
  
  The bread that came with the appetizers was delicious as was the soup that we ordered.
  I had the scallops and they were phenomenal.
  
  The food was fabulous .... which is why this review is 3 stars.... but the service and annoying ambience were enough to make us not want to return.
  I would recommend carry out if you want to try this restaurant.

  I absolutely loved my visit to Raven & Lilly!! The restaurant was cute and small and since we were part
  of a group, we took up half the restaurant. There were pork rinds on the table, which were pretty tasty. I ordered the scallops and let me just say - I cleaned my plate! It was excellent! One of the other guests at the table had an insane burger. I had never seen anything like it so I had to take a pic! The service was good and everyone was pleased with their selections. After showing my husband the pictures, he is now eager to visit. I highly recommend!

  I really enjoy coming here.  I dig the atmosphere and the loud vibrant energy that comes with it.  It is very tastefully decorated and I feel quite comfortable being here.  You are sat in a small dining room but somehow I always feel alone and able to focus on the people I'm with.  
  
  We have been a handful of times and I have always found the food and service to be pretty stellar.  
  
  My wife LOVES the Bloody Mary, and if you check out my pictures, you'll see why.  What a bad ass presentation with tasty little bites to sample while drinking it.  It even has BACON!  Yum.
  
  I've had nothing but great meals here.  The RL burger is ridiculous.  Just get it at least once.  It's excessive but really good.  I can personally vouch for the Oyster PO Boy, Brunch Chilaquiles, and the Roasted Chicken Pasta. They are all very tasty.  
  
  One last thing...   for brunch they have CHOCOLATE GRAVY!!   If you've never had it, get your butt in here and get some!  Pair it up with some salty bacon and you are where it's at.
