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.

    First time, and will not be the last. The food, drinks, service and ambiance were 10/10. Happened to dine on Wednesday. Who knew it was jazz night! Holiday season decor made it extra special. Great attention to details. Oh, and this is a biggie for me… the restrooms were clean!!

    We got reservations on a short notice and was seated promptly for a late-ish lunch. We immediately got water and after a short while some piping hot bread to sop up the olive oil. We shared the kebab platter, humus, scallops, baked eggplant and cheese pied. Everything was delicious - my fave was the luscious eggplant. The kebabs were tender and came with various fresh garnishes and sauces. The scallops were sweet and fresh and perfectly cooked.
