Award-winning Chef Juan Gomez, who helped República garner best new restaurant nods from Bon Appétit and James Beard, is taking a more personal approach to PNW cuisine. Recently nominated one of the Top 50 Restaurants in the Country by the New York Times, Lilia offers dishes like Pork Collar Confit and fresh Aguachile, leaning on Chef Juan's Mexican-American roots while showcasing hyper-seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. The airy, unpretentious space and breezy patio befit the South Waterfront vibe.

Please note, our prices vary each week according to market price of local ingredients.

Outstanding food and service. Also a Mexican wine list! I highly recommend this place. The only drawback is parking.

Wow! I highly recommend this restaurant. We were given a gift certificate and had never heard of it before. So glad we were given this gift. It was our first visit, but it definitely won't be the last. We did the chef's tasting menu and we loved each and every course. All the staff we interacted with were amazing! If I could give this place more than five stars I would!

We had 3 dishes: the Dungeness crab, the squash, and the pork. All were amazing. Great cocktail, too.

This was our best meal at this always wonderful restaurant. The prawn starter was beautiful to see and delicious. The second course, a "sopa", was so very tasty. And the pork main was melt in your mouth good. Oh, and the drinks were to of the world great. Can't wait to return for another visit!

Really great experience, innovative menu, and accommodating staff. They were very understanding of dietary restrictions and made great substitutions when needed. Fun to watch the chef interact with customers and his team throughout the night.

This is a wonderful restaurant with lovely food, beautifully presented. It is on the expensive side so perfect for a special occasion. My one gripe is that there isn’t a phone number on the website and the open table phone number is not in service.
