In addition to Lilette, Chef Harris also opened the acclaimed Bouligny Tavern next door, offering fine wines, classic cocktails, and a sumptuous small plates menu.

Ed Charles, who joined the Lilette team in 2003, brings his experience from working with renowned chefs like Susan Spicer to the kitchen. After co-helming the kitchen for 16 years, Charles became a co-owner of Lilette. The restaurant is open Monday through Saturday for lunch and dinner, and closed on Sundays.
