As a "Yay we have finished uni for the year, lets celebrate our freedom" thing, my classmates and I came here for lunch yesterday.
I kinda loved it.
I am the first person to rant about how pretentious and fake George Street is, so I have let myself down by being taking in by the fancy decor and cocktails. The decor is so chic and trendy that you can't help but admire the surroundings. It almost feels as though you are in someones uber trendy living room.
Our reason for choosing Tigerlily was because of the 2 for 1 on main meals and half price cocktails. With 9 of us, that worked out at around a tenner each for some food and a cocktail. The half price cocktail list only has 3 or 4 cocktails on it, so you are limited. I had a Ginger Mojito which was delicious and certainly hit the spot (i.e. my ability to act coherent) and other delights included a Passion Fruit mish mash which went down very quickly.
The 2 for 1 deal included all main meals, salads and sandwiches. Most went for burgers, which were presented in a rather pretentious way. I had a prawn Asian salad which was lovely and fresh, the prawns were uber giant prawns that went down a treat.
However, I wouldn't have paid full price for the food. Partly because I am a cheap skate, and partly because presenting things nicely on a plate doesn't warrant a high price.
Great place for a ladies who lunch sort of day, as long as it's the days the offer 2 for 1 meals and half price cocktails. read more
