Lily and Liam Bistro 1751 Rio Rancho Boulevard Southeast, Rio Rancho, NM 87124

"Some of the best food around! This was my second time coming here. We ordered a Dutch baby (so good! I love the texture of these a million times more than a pancake! Doesn't even compare). It was custardy and flavorful and topped with delicious cream and fresh fruit. We also ordered a NM baby, which is a savory Dutch baby topped with eggs, Muenster cheese, short rib meat, avocado, green chile, arugula, radishes and peppers. Served with au jus. It is my new favorite savory breakfast. Everything melded together so perfectly . I want to go back and try lunch items but it will be hard to go and not get the same thing again! Service is also very good. The only thing that is a potential negative to some is that it is very, very small. Feels a bit crowded, tables are very close together, and there is almost always a wait. I know that's because it is so good!"

"We were looking for a late breakfast and wanted to try something different. Lily and Liam's Bistro had an enticing menu. My wife got a breakfast burrito and I went for the stacked french toast. My wife thought the burrito was fancified with some gourmet embellishments that did little to did to the flavor. My french toast on the otherhand was fantastic! Nice thick moist bread stacked on some creamy sweet sauce and drizzled with strawberry puree, surrounded by fresh berries.I relished every bite and might have ordered a second plate to satisfy my cravings! We didn't have to wait to be seated, but I'm sure this tiny bistro has rushes where chairs are a premium. The service was good, the menu diverse and atmosphere very bistro-ish. We will be visiting again!"

"We tried this restaurant for the first time, arriving at 2pm for lunch. The menu had several interesting selections, but we learned they had run out of greens and many items were not available. After finding some alternatives, I asked for coffee. I was told the coffee machine had already been cleaned, so coffee was not available. The food we got was very tasty. I can understand a restaurant running out of some key ingredients in the afternoon, but not wanting to make coffee with 2 hours of open time remaining highlighted a lack of customer care. Overall, the food was really good, the atmosphere was decent, but the service lacked. Not sure if we will go a second time."

"Lily and Liam’s may be my new favorite breakfast. Very cute diner. I loved how small and homey it was. The staff were all nice, helpful, and happy. The menu was wonderful. Separated into three parts sweet, savory, and NM. We had the smothered breakfast burrito and stacked French toast. Both were really good. Both sauces on the burrito were good. Green is always the best but the red added some smokiness. French toast had a delicious blueberry sauce and was covered in strawberries and blackberries. There are many more things I can’t wait to try! See you soon!"

"The menu is unique, I love how they had savory Dutch babies. Mine was with au jus and short ribs. The cauliflower steak is super healthy, yummy vegetables but we think it needs a special sauce. We plan on doctoring it up at home. It's a good option for vegetarians."
