If you are spending your night hunting for food and/or drink in LKF, you know that you are going to have a very difficult time choosing between the just-way-too-many choices in this very middle of the soho area. With Lily and Blooms being one of those situated in this competitive upmarket area, you bet that their food, ambience and service are something top of the notch.

Many choices!!!

Seems good!!

You know how it is like, just another long day from work, and just another typical night that you and your co-workers are in desperate need to treat yourselves nicely just to stay sane. And tonight we decided to dine in this highly featured western restaurants in LKF.
You can pretty much tell the concept behind Lily and Bloom the moment you walked into the restaurant, the vintage fittings, heavy use of the wood elements and classic furniture pretty much yell old ‘Murica at you. And the food you asked? The food is just as definitive as their ambience.

regret if you don't eat.

Appetizers: Cedar River Beef Tartare
Made with just the most tender beef, local quail egg, homemade wasabi aioli and served with crispy beef jerky. The integrity of every single ingredient is simply treated in the most respectful way. With the subtle sweetness and sourness in the sauce combined with the touch of exoticness with the wasabi, you can almost taste the freshness of the beef being accentuated in the best imaginable way.

Signature dish!

Main: Grain-fed beef rib-eye with spiced fries
Requested medium as this is a large 400g steak and it was cooked just to perfection, slightly charred, crispy surface wrapping your juicy interior with the marble cooked just right enough to melt, which, as a matter of fact, not all of the so-called steakhouses nowadays could do properly. Could not lie about my slight disappointment on the fact that grain-fed beef though…at this kind of price range you would be way happier if grass-fed beef would be used. But overall the hunk of meat will justify its price tag just because it was processed this well.
