Dining at Lilette saves airfare to Paris, which it greatly resembles. Superb on every level: the wine list is top drawer, attentive service without being overbearing, and the food! My God, the food! Some of the finest in New Orleans, and that's saying something in a city with so many great restaurants.
First time visiting the area and what an awesome find this proved to be! The kale vegetable salad was to die for! I was so appreciative they accommodated my gluten free and nut sensitivity! Hats off to the chef and staff!
Wonderdul atmosphere! Our server was fantastic! The food was impeccable! Highly recommend! We had a great time and look forward to our next night out! Definitely will be back!
Probably my favorite New Orleans restaurant. Perfect, understated service, and impeccable food. I cannot seem to tear myself away from ordering the hangar steak, but the fish dishes are equally sublime. Mixed cocktails are made with great care and skill, and the ambiance is completely transporting.
Lilette has long been a favorite of ours, almost always at lunch. This time we took an out of town visitor there for dinner and it was truly superb. Our visitor proclaimed the mahi mahi to be the best she ever ate. Everything was great.
Incredible! Very cozy and romantic vibes. Everything we tried was delicious but we couldn’t get over how rich and flavorful the mushroom toast was! No detail was overlooked, highly recommended for an intimate or celebratory dinner!
Great spot for a date night or intimate dinner. The service is always attentive, and the food is consistently great. Admittedly a multiple course dinner can get pricy, but for the great experience you’ll have, it’s warranted. The crab claws and oysters were fantastic. Also highly recommend the gnocchi.
If you’re not ready to end the night after dinner, pop into Bouligny next door for a cocktail and a more relaxed atmosphere.
The food was magnificent. Best meal I have had in years. I had the lamb and my friend had the branzino. The Italian Wedding soup was homemade and delicious.
We had an outstanding meal! We stayed within walking distance of this stunning restaurant and it did not disappoint. We chose to spend our last lunch here and now I'm upset we hadn’t come sooner! Google images don’t do Lilette justice, read the menu and make a reservation stat!
Nice staff. Good appetizers. Cocktails 🍸 yummy. Flavors are fun, but too rich, it was impossible to get away from the cloying oil. They were able to create a vegan menu. Pre-Anniversary dinner. Happy 17!
Escargot and a watermelon kale salad. Delicious. Warm melted butter for your crisp bread as you wait and a diverse selection of French and Italia wine. Lovely place and very attentive staff.
Good ambiance. Nice hidden outdoor courtyard. They may have spray if you are getting bit. Some of the best gnocchi I’ve ever had. It’s a small portion but it’s really good! The lamb is a popular dish but it’s just ok. Wouldn’t order it again. Not bad but not great. Hanger steak is what you would expect. A poor cut of meat. Flavor is good and fries are good. Our sever was nice and attentive. Drinks are really good. We Worl come back.
Lilette is one of my favorite neighborhood restaurants in New Orleans. It is a charming with fantastic food and service.
The crab claws is one of my favorite dishes anywhere. I’ve actually gone here for pre-drinks and crab claws before going to dinner elsewhere.
This place never disappoints. Tonight’s experience was no exception. The roasted chicken with Brussels Sprouts and mushroom vinaigrette was perfectly cooked and seasoned.The skin was crispy, the breast juicy and the tang of the vinaigrette added a brightness to the earthy mushrooms.
Bonus for the perfectly made martinis with blue cheese olives. They also have one of the best Bloody Marys in town. Love this spot. It’s on my do not miss list in New Orleans.
Let’s start by pointing out the padded velvet walls. They’re beautiful and luxurious, yet they are warm and inviting.
I joined my family of six(1 toddler) for a light dinner to hold us over for late drinks and desserts. We started with two appetizers, with the white truffle parmigiano toast and the potato gnocchi. Both were rich and flavorful. The toast was small though - not in the come on, you’re sharing this amongst 5, but small for two people to share.
For our second course, we split three entrees, snapper, duck breast, and hangar streak. I would order all three again, but the snapper the would be my preference.
None of the cocktails were calling to me, so I ordered a sazerac. It was a classic and true expression of the cocktail.
The food is amazing. Just get all small plates if you're up for it because every single one is amazing and you'll want to try them all.
