We’re so excited to celebrate our first Mother’s Day at ilili Midtown.

A table filled the way it should be: mezza served family style, spring fattoush, labneh with smoked trout roe, little neck clams with caviar, mekanek eggs, halibut, filet mignon, lobster, and desserts passed around the table at the end.

In Lebanon, Mother’s Day is usually spent exactly like this. Sitting together longer than planned, ordering more for the table, and making time for the people you care about most.
