    I heard great things about this restaurant. When I saw they had outdoor seating and a good guard for passing vehicles to see, I gave it a try. There was a good amount of people, not enough separation to me. We sat in an area with a good amount of people near us. I asked for the same two seat table but further from the crowd, I was told someone just reserved that table. They came 15 minutes later. The drinks were good, wine and a cocktail. Food was good; pasta with fish and plantain, mac and cheese and stew chicken. The pasta sauce ratio was good. Fish was missing something. Mac and cheese was not great to me but that stew chicken was great.

    Service was tight, they were busy still the waiting time was worth it. Visited yesterday which was a Wednesday so one free glass of wine with your meal very convenient great marketing tactic. Extremely romantic loved the mothers day scenery they had set up this made it even more romantic and special, gave off very lovely vibes, the food was spectacular really fresh you can tell they put love and time into your food. The staff was friendly super lit great vibe the music set the tone made me comfortable traditional vibrant R&B.

    5/1/21 I went to Tilly's to celebrate my friend's birthday. DJ True Blends kept the party going. He went from old school R&B to Soca. Everyone enjoyed their food. My short ribs were so tender, juicy, and flavorful. I heard the chicken and waffles were good. One person said some of her chicken was dry but still tastes good. The jerk chicken and waffles; heard it was a bit spicy, warning!!! I heard the whiting and grits was also tasty and they gave tou a lot of fish. They offer carafes of rum punch and mimosas for $30. To build your own mimosa it costs $40 and it comes with a mini carafe. This is meant for the real drinkers. I highly recommend reservations at this place, it gets busy and packed. We wanted to stay longer we couldn't because another table was coming. we were able to sit for about 3 hours. Come here if you want a good time and good food

    There was a live DJ. The ambience was nice. The food was below average. Could use some more spice and flare. I think their drink concept of all their cocktails being wine-based is definitely unique.

    We visited for a meeting during Sunday brunch and the atmosphere, food, and service were AWESOME. As THE community bar, I fancy this place often. I am BIG fan of the unlimited mimosa! $$

    Another amazing experience. I sat at the outdoor dining area this time. There were live musicians and outdoor heaters. The atmosphere was so jazzy and relaxing. I like to follow up on my foods, so I ordered Tillys Calypso Pasta again and this time ordered a drink (Love Boat). The service was great, and consistent, even though it was a very busy night. Every thing tasted and sounded so original and fresh. It was nice to escape Brooklyn, all while sitting outdoors on busy Bedford Ave. This place will have that effect on a person.

    We had a great anniversary dinner. I had the curry shrimp with asparagus & Jasmin rice with a side of sweet plantains and hubby had the, I think its called the calypso pasta with chicken (rasta pasta). He had rum punches to drink and I had the margarita platter ( lychee, regular, guava & can't remb the other flavor) & a glass of Rosé for Happy Hour. They played great music and when I told our waitress that it was our wedding anniversary (together 22 years but married 8) and is there anything she can do, she checked in with the powers that be, asked if we were allergic to anything and brought us out an amazing dessert with the sparkling candle playing I Just Wanna Get Married by Jagged Edge. It was really sweet and we will be back to try other dishes because we had fun at this spot. The service and food was exceptional.

    The tamarind fish was really good. The lychee mojo was meh nothing to rave about. Parking was a bit tough. We visited on a Sunday evening.

    My friends and I were in town this past weekend and we tried this place out for brunch. The food was pretty good. The table ordered the cranberry grilled chicken salad, fried whiting fish with grits, curry shrimp with a side of sweet potato mash and the French toast sticks with fruits. There were no complaints at the table and everyone's plate was clean. Out of everything the French toast sticks were a bit basic, maybe even frozen. Customer service was decent. The atmosphere was everything. There was a live DJ and we had a blast!! If you are looking for a good time, this would be a great place to visit.

    I’ve been to this place maybe 5 times. Their food is overall amazing and so are their drinks! I love their calm ambiance. The only bone I’d have to pick is that maybe 3/5 times I’ve been there, the food wasn’t hot. I always found that weird. Very tasty but the food would be room temperature and that’s the only reason for the 4 stars. Otherwise, I’d def visit again!

    My friend made reservations and treated me to brunch on October 22, 2022, the food was great but the young young lady at the door with the catapillar eye lashes was was rude. She sat us down but never came back to take our order, we wait 15 minutes until we had ask someone else to take out order. This is establishment is not for young adults, she have no manners. My friend told her good morning 3 times while we was standing at the front door and she didn't even respond, that's bad business

    I had a great time at Tilly's, and I randomly I go for brunch on a Saturday. For starters, the music is an absolute 10/10. I enjoyed every second and knew every song and there are no complaints. The service was good, they were quite busy but the music made me very patient lol. The food was good, I had the shrimp curry and I enjoyed it. The drinks will definitely make you quite tipsy. PS: shoutout to Dj Fragg for keeping the chunesss rolling

    I came on Labor day weekend... And after reading the other reviews I must say this place is a vibe.. I made my reservation and even rescheduled. My group arrived got seated and my server Carma was the bomb.. He gave details regarding the drinks and didn't lead us wrong. The food was excellent and I must say if you want a vibe come here.. If you want a quiet meal stay home this place is lite...
