   This is such a cute and lovely gem in the neighborhood! We had the high tea service - the pear salad and potato leek soup and three different teas were excellent. The sandwiches and sweets were served after the meal on tiered trays and such beautiful presentation. The staff came by often to check in along with the owner, and everyone was very attentive.

   We had High Tea at Lily’s & Elise. The entire experience was simply delightful. The service was excellent and it was much more tea/food than we thought! I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

   Full/high tea with soup and salad was almost too much food. Everything was delicious. Perfect for a small celebration.

   Booked a tea experience at Lily's & Elise to make up for a missed tea event on a Cruise in December. What we got was beyond our expectations in every way! The staff was wonderful (esp. Crystal), the food was spectacular in presentation, taste, and portion size, and the property was in tip top shape, including the rest rooms! My wife and I went for afternoon tea which some might think would be a few things to "nibble". It was essentially a lunch for two (with a raft of exotic teas) and a dessert tray to rivaled most of those I've seen in this vicinity. We'll be going back soon ... especially now that we've found out they have a robust menu including breakfast, brunch, tea, and "patisserie" ( read French pastries). Based on our conversation with Anna, the manager, the concept for the operation came from an establishment in NIce, France. We'll be in Nice this spring and we are sure it will bring back memories for us of Lily's & Elise on Livernois!

    What a find! My daughter and I had high tea and everything was wonderful! Make sure you make a reservation and dress up if you want. There were tables of Moms and daughters dressed to the nines, which fit right into the atmosphere. The potato leek soup was our favorite, followed by the pear salad and the caprese sandwich. We loved our teas. We did not rush or dilly-dally, but after 2 hours we were informed that we needed to leave in less than 30 minutes. That was a little off-putting since there is nothing posted about time limits. Overall, I highly recommend!
