"This glass walled restaurant is one of the only reasons locals venture to the tourist-crowded Wharf, and eating at the plant-filled spot before a show at the Anthem or Arena Stage is always a good idea. We like to make a meal out of Ilili’s cold and warm mezze, ordering plates of traditional hindbeh and chankleesh along with citrusy olives and nutty mouhamara for the table. You’ll want to try at least two pours from their robust Lebanese wine list, perhaps starting with a Lebanese take on a blanc de blanc before moving on to a fuller cab sauv." - madeline weinfield
