The staff worked hard, but I don't like being rushed in dining so I held a menu and ordered 1 thing at a time to relax and enjoy the atmosphere on the lake.

The fried shrimp platter was done well and sized with lots of fries. When the other flavors came through without the feta, it was a well prepared grilled taco. The feta cheese overpowered everything on it. It was different having feta cheese on a taco. I had no problem with any additional charges. They wouldn't let me combine between having one of each. They tasted great, however, small as a well trimmed ice cream scoop. It wasn't a good gumbo.The crab cakes were very well presented. We then ordered shrimp and crab gumbo that turned out thick and pasty. When we picked them up the stuffing fell out and had to scoop up out the liquid. Must have had 1/4' of liquid in the dish. The stuffed mushrooms were flavored well, but left in the serving plate runny. We were also told another menu was starting on Wednesday. I went there a while back, liked it, and decided to go again to find out the menu changed. Quite fair price to value + experience ratio as well. Ignore the lists and the internets and make sure to visit Lilette.

Best Boulevardiers I've had, and I've had a few. HUGE cheese plate for dessert with a 25+ year old Port was too good to be true. French cuisine perfectly embodied in one dish. Oysters were excellent, the Louisiana crab claws (what more can you say.) amazing, and the highlight of the meal the grade A Hawaiian swordfish cooked medium rare was just divine. Not to mention the owner operator still in the kitchen (often) after 20+ years, you just don't see that anymore.

To have such an incredible staff for a smaller sized restaurant, a dedicated full time maitre d', sommelier, general manager, hostess, and incredible waitstaff shows Lilette's dedication to service + quality. A place that might not make many 'hot lists' (.for the better) but its imprint and longevity in the community speaks volumes. Perfect example of classic French cooking.
