About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
Just steps from the Smithsonian National Zoo, Marriott Wardman-Park and Omni Shoreham, LiLLiES Restaurant & Bar is a family-owned restaurant which serves a mix of traditional Italian and Mediterranean cuisine with a contemporary edge.

When the weather is warm, diners can relax around mosaic tables on the terrace patio. On cooler days, the hardwood floors, candlelight and exposed brick inside make for a snug retreat. Brunch is served on both Saturdays and Sundays, and offers options for health-conscious patrons, such as a Greek yogurt parfait, and for those looking to indulge—say, in the Nutella-smothered French toast.

    I visited on a warm Saturday around noon, and as expected, parking was a challenge. I was also in a bit of a rush due to another appointment, but I really appreciated the calm ambiance and cozy atmosphere inside. It did get a little busier shortly after I sat down, which may have contributed to a bit of a delay—my drink arrived halfway through my meal. That said, it was delicious and worth the wait. I ordered the lobster ravioli, which was the main reason I chose to come here, and it didn’t disappoint. The portion size was decent, and I thought it was well-prepared. The staff was friendly and apologetic about the delay, which I appreciated.

    Thank you, Wendy, for the thoughtful review! We're glad you enjoyed the lobster ravioli and our cozy ambiance — and we truly appreciate your patience with the delay. We hope to welcome you back soon for an even smoother experience!
