LiLLiES Italian Restaurant & Bar

Our Wonderful Detour to Lillies 🌸 I hope this message finds you well. As my family and I made our journey home, we decided to take a delightful detour to a charming little eatery that our daughter recommended upon, where we had the pleasure of catching up with her. 💕 The establishment, known as Lillies, turned out to be a wonderful venue for our lunch reunion. Tucked away in a cozy corner but with a street view, this restaurant feels like an undiscovered treasure, showcasing exceptional service and cuisine. It also offers outdoor seating. From the moment we walked in, the inviting ambiance wrapped around us, making it a perfect backdrop for an afternoon of laughter and conversation. If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping by Lillies for a meal. It's a place that warms the

This place is SO GOOD!! The inside is beautiful and every person here is always smiling and so welcoming!!!! Definitely the best restaurant in DC and the food is extremely good, I attached a photo above 😁

After a full day exploring the National Zoo, we stumbled upon Lillies Italian Restaurant & Bar on our way back to the metro station and what a pleasant surprise! We grabbed a couple of seats at the bar for a quick drink and an appetizer, and left feeling like we discovered a local favorite. We ordered the mozzarella and hummus starters. The mozzarella, made fresh in-house (per the menu), was absolutely on point, it was perfectly cheesy inside with a crisp, golden breading that wasn’t too heavy. The hummus was creamy and flavorful, a solid pairing with the warm pita. I ordered a Dirty Tito’s Martini and was caught off guard (in a good way!) when it came garnished with jalapeño olives instead of traditional ones, that turned out to be an unexpected twist I didn’t know I needed. Spicy, brin

This restaurant and bar is a hidden gem within walking distance of the zoo. Great menu and fantastic service in an upscale environment. We stopped in here for brunch after visiting the zoo. I chose this place because they really cater to the kids with their panda pancakes. (we had too young kids with us). It was not a disappointment, they were a hit and they were delicious. They were also able to make the panda pancakes with the chocolate chip batter so that was a big plus. For brunch, the adults had the classic eggs Benedict, Caesar salad with chicken, eggs Benedict Chesapeake (with a crabcake on ) and a chicken Parmesan sandwich. All the food was outstanding. Really tasty. Overall the menu has a lot of great options, at a little higher price point, but I believe it was worth it Ou

Got seated immediately upon arrival after a young lady asked inside or out. We came here for the first time after the zoo and since the day was nice we opted for the patio. A waiter came around and asked us if we were ready to order. We got an appetizer (the bruschetta) and two cokes. A little while later we ordered our mains (chicken parm and schnitzel) and some garlic bread. Both appetizers came out at the same time and were very enjoyable. The bruschetta tasted fresh and complimented the garlic bread well. My partners schnitzel arrived first and not too soon my parm did too. Food was very good and the servers were very quick and efficient getting us refills. Thank you to all three of them who helped us. I understand as a server myself that busy patios can be hard to deal with, but t
