Seasonal & Southern-influenced American meals with a farm-to-table focus in an elegant setting.
Lily’s Dayton is the 2020, Covid-era re-imaging of independent restaurant Lily’s Bistro (2013-2020). We are a tropical-inspired, budget conscious, inclusive, warm, and welcoming eatery & drinkery in the Oregon District in Dayton, Ohio.
Our menu created by Executive Chef Don Warfe combines Lily’s favorites like our fried chicken, shrimp & grits, deviled eggs, and other American Southern dishes with eclectic Polynesian and tropical flavors like bao buns, pork belly or vegetarian ramen, and bahn mi/po boy sandwiches designed to pair with our tiki-inspired craft cocktail program. In addition to cool wines and local craft beers, we also always have our house beer on tap for $2.50! We hope to see you soon for some good food and tasty cocktails!
