Named for Frank Sinatra's former manager, Jilly's has a retro feel that's timeless, not dated. Music and a lively buzz from the patrons spill into the street during warm weather, and pianists and trios play the dark room decorated with photos of the Rat Pack, Steve and Eydie, and the like. The crowd includes everyone from wealthy Gold Coast residents to young singles catching up after work.
