What it's actually like
Tilia is widely celebrated as a beloved neighborhood gem with consistently excellent food and welcoming atmosphere, though recent pricing concerns and surcharge policies have generated significant criticism. The restaurant excels at brunch and elevated casual dining with creative flavor combinations, though some reviewers note portion sizes don't always justify the price point. Overall sentiment remains very positive despite operational and pricing controversies from the past year.

Tock
Wait reality — Reservations highly recommended, especially for brunch and weekends when restaurant fills quickly. Best to arrive off-peak times like 4:30pm on weekdays to avoid crowds.
