Lilette

Lilette Review

Proprietor-chef John Harris uses New Orleans and French culinary traditions as springboards for Lilette's inspired dishes. Look for the raw Brussels sprout salad; panéed black drum with Israeli couscous, leeks, and tomatoes; and roasted muscovy duck breast with kale and butternut squash. For dessert, the goat cheese quenelles with lavender honey are as light as sorbet but more satisfying. The thoughtful wine list is boutique oriented. Framed mirrors hang along the maroon walls of the intimate front dining room-cum-bar. A few more tables fill out a second room and patio.

    Absolutely loved this place. The staff are so gracious and the food is wonderful. Over 2 visits we loved the gnocchi, the confit duck, the beet and goatcheese salad, the steak frites, the muscovy duck and a fantastic peach tart - oh and the truffled mushroom toast was over the top rich and decadent. Good people, and great food experience.
