About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Great for creative cocktails
Award-winning Chef Juan Gomez, who helped República garner best new restaurant nods from Bon Appétit and James Beard, is taking a more personal approach to PNW cuisine. Recently nominated one of the Top 50 Restaurants in the Country by the New York Times, Lilia offers dishes like Pork Collar Confit and fresh Aguachile, leaning on Chef Juan's Mexican-American roots while showcasing hyper-seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. The airy, unpretentious space and breezy patio befit the South Waterfront vibe.

Please note, our prices vary each week according to market price of local ingredients.

We offer a Chef's Selection menu that is a perfect meal for two. We also offer an a la carte menu.

    The food is very very good with elegant touches in taste and presentation. The chef is not afraid of chile and spices. Those who like their food bland should not come here. This is a restaurant to visit for its tastes/heat and creativity.

    Another amazing meal by Chef Juan! Sitting at the counter for Chef’s menu is the best choice. Every course was phenomenal- in flavor and in presentation. Wine flights were interesting, and spot on. Can’t say enough about the food, the staff, and the experience! Go!

    Amazing Cuisine! The sorrel mushroom tacos were the best tacos I've ever had. Every dish was a creative and delicious celebration of the season. We'll definitely be back!

    Nice take on PNW-Mex fusion. Dishes were creative, nicely presented and full of flavor. The server was very personable and knowledgeable. All very good But the prices were outrageous. Even a couple of days later can't shake the feeling of just bring ripped off. The price for the tlayuda was astounding. If you are on an expense account or someone else's dime, go for it.
