LiLLiES Restaurant & Bar, Washington DC

Excellent food, excellent service, a beautiful dining area. Would recommend if you're visiting the area, will not be disappointed.

We had a great event at this location.we held a program anniversary celebration for approximately 40+ people. The set up worked well. The staff was professional, the food was excellent. Ryan was very easy to deal with and the communication was frequent and easy. The only draw back and it is the same with many DC venues was parking. Nothing the staff can really do about that so not marking them down for it. Great place for an event

We came for Saturday brunch and it was very average. We were the only people in the restaurant for 45 minutes. I had high hopes based on the reviews but the overall experience here was nothing special.

What a delightful place! Gorgeous outdoor seating surrounded by flowers with impeccable, friendly service, bottomless mimosas and tasty entrees. A great find!

Good atmosphere. Cocktails very good. Food was good. Would have loved to sit outside to dine but mosquitos were very bad.

We passed Lillies on our walk back to the Metro from the zoo and decided to stop for dinner. It was a quaint little restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere and fantastic food! The service was excellent as was the dessert!

Lillie's was a beautiful restaurant in the heart of DC. The wait staff was prompt and friendly.i got the Caesar salad with chicken and it was a generous portion size with an even more generous portion of chicken than I expected. The ingredients were fresh and the food came out in a timely manner. It was also a decent walk from the metro station and the Smithsonian zoo. All around a great restaurant. I would definitely recommend and return if I were ever in the city again.

Sunday brunch after the zoo was great. They had options for our vegan, picky kid (the pancakes are 10).

P. S. The toilet paper is really good too

We stopped off at the restaurant for an early dinner after the Zoo closed on a Saturday. We sat outside in the area facing the street. They have another outside area around the side. The service and food were terrific! I had the mushroom ravioli, others had eggplant, chicken and crab dishes. All was good! Just a nice spot to go for an enjoyable meal and experience. There is, of course, an indoor area you can eat. Very nice inside for those who don’t want to be outside. Certainly recommend this spot!

Nora and Dennys were absolutely amazing this past Saturday! We had a dinner cruise planned for our family reunion this past weekend and they cancelled on us at the 11th hour after having mechanical issues. I called LiLLiES and spoke with Nora after finding them on OpenTable. Nora was quick, efficient, hospitable, and super friendly. She and her team accommodated our group of 60 people last minute and did it with ease. She saved our Family Reunion! Everyone enjoyed our family style dinner and thought that the food was amazing! We enjoyed our time at LiLLiES and it will always be a dinner that we will remember forever! Thank you Nora and Dennys for your amazing customer service and for saving our Family Reunion!

Exploring DC was especially amazing when our Driver recommended LiLLiES for brunch and it’s location to the Smithsonian Zoo. My boyfriend is in the restaurant industry and enjoyed the creative signature cocktails, service, and the fact that I could order Panda Pancakes!

Nothing was fresh. Everything tasted like it came out of a can.
Our main entree was covered in sauce and improperly prepared. Outdoor service was slow.
Not coming coming back.

We visited Lillies this morning for some drinks from the bar and some food for the kids after leaving the zoo. When the server (Noura) took our order she said "that's it? ! ", walks away and proceeds to complain to the host in front of us. The food runner brought everything out to us, and the server never came back to check on us. The food was decent but I've had better bloddy marys for $10. We had to physically go to the bar to cash out and she still had an attitude cashing us out. We've both worked as servers in the past and this was just completely rude and unacceptable service. We'll never be back.

Nice restaurant, The service was fantastic, but the food was just ok/ average. My husband had the lobster Ravioli. It was just Ravioli in a red sauce. I was disappointed with my meal. I had the crusted Tilapia it was a Gortons fisherman fillet.

What a wonderful family owned restaurant. They are located away from most of the NW restaurants but I believe it was worth the trip. The service was really friendly and the drinks were really good. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. The atmosphere was also great.

We had the eggplant rollatini and toscani dishes which were very fresh and delicious. The tiramisu was one of the best tasted. Service was courteous and attentive.

Such a huge fan of Italian food and this did not dissapoint! Love the fact that you could taste how fresh the food was. Also love that it’s a small family owned restaurant but also very intimate setting. Only gave a 4 because when we arrived service was a slow but then we were rushed when the restaurant was closing. Overall great food and good pricing. The tiramisu was also made fresh so I loved it!

My Sisters and I had a very beautiful experience our waitress was professional and open to answering all our questions and just making sure we were good food and drinks was delish also. I will be going back.

My husband and I had a date night here and really enjoyed it. Started with the lemoncello and Manhattan, great drinks. Loved the perfect antipasto since it gave us a selection of Mussels, Calamari, Bruschetta, Shrimp, Mozzarella And Capris Salad. The carbonara with shrimp was also amazing. Loved the garlic bread too. Enjoyed their Eggplant Milanese with all the cheese on top. Cozy ambiance and very nice owners!
