    We and the misses have never experienced Lebanese cuisine prior to our Valentine’s Day (2025) visit, and Ilili did not disappoint! It was also our first time having caviar, truffles, tuna tartare and everything tasted simply divine. The courses were well paced and the choices were abundant, but not overwhelming.

    I am glad I came back, as our dining experience this time was excellent. We ordered a la carte (rather than the tasting menu/wine paring, which was a bit underwhelming last time) and we were thrilled with the dishes and the service. I had not had the Bantijian Bil Laban (crispy eggplant) before and it was delicious. Our server was extremely helpful in guiding us to the appropriate quantity of dishes for a party of three and the sommelier recommended a delicious bottle of Greek red wine. The host and hostesses at the reception desk were kind and accommodating and the bartenders were attentive. A lovely dining experience.

    They do everything well at Oceans. The seafood tower was a great way to start. The Dover Sole is one of the best dishes in town. And the Lobster Mac and Cheese was also great. Very gracious hosts, servers, and somm.
