"Lilette has one of the most appetizing menus in these parts, at least if your palate prefers a wide palette of flavors."
–Tom Fitzmorris, New Orleans City Business
"Don't miss the curious signature dessert, little rounds of goat cheese crème fraîche, delicately paired with pears poached in liquid flavored with vanilla beans and raisins, topped with lavender honey, a marriage made on Mount Olympus."
–Frommer's
"John Harris's sizzling Gulf shrimp in a lemon-oregano vinaigrette paired with a good glass of Sauvignon Blanc is such a civilized lunch, as is his boudin noir with spicy mustard and a Côtes-du-Rhône (for dinner have the hanger steak)."
–Julia Reed, Food & Wine
