    Dining here was an experience! The atmosphere was incredible, we loved the decorations and the very comfortable seating. The service was amazing, Jacob our server gave some great recommendations and was extremely personal and fun.The drinks were very interesting. The food was to die for! The sushi was great! The Wagu was a delectable treat! But the teriyaki salmon was the most delicious, succulent, mouth watering perfectly cooked, expertly seasoned, beautifully presented, heavenly dish I have had in so so long. We will be returning anytime we are near the area, the price tag may be high, but they have earned each cent of it.

    Our dining experience at illume was outstanding! We had the lovely Juliette as our server and she was so upbeat, knowledgeable about the menu and prompt with service. We enjoyed the Oki roll, Bao buns, edamame and beef yakisoba. Everything was delicious!!

    The seafood udon was really good, the sushi roll was very difficult to eat based on construction and how unevenly it was cut. Service was excellent.

    Food was fantastic, staff was professional, and overall vibe and decor were quite nice. The food was more than worth it, but be prepared for the potential presence of loud, small children due to the proximity to the amusement parks nearby. There were a few cries/shrieks from children during our dinner, but nothing that substantially detracted from the overall experience. Would, and will, return.

    Whenever I dine at a hotel restaurant, it’s always tricky because they are sometimes inconsistent , lack the true value of fine dining service and quality. Having opened and managed restaurants throughout my career I can tell you about my experience last night at the JW Marriott restaurant was nothing less than perfect Illume presented one of the best dining experiences in the art of Asian cuisine that I have ever experienced. The service was impeccable, our server and team were nothing less than on the spot, professional, without being too familiar. They were extremely responsive, kind, and well mattered. To begin with the menu, of course is designed to entice the pallet in both drink and cuisine. They have a fairly well balanced list of designed cocktails, and various scotch and bourbon whiskeys. They also have a selection of Japanese whiskeys to complement every pallet. When ordering, the food arrives at different stages, so be sure to ask your server and communicate what item you would like following other items to increase the likelihood of all dining together. Our party dined on everything from the best tuna, shrimp, sobe noodles, tenderloin, all of the highest quality perfection. There was not one dish that we did not thoroughly enjoy. The only small irritate was that there is an up $6.00 charge when you order a large ice cube in your drink, and their rationale that they give you more of the liquor that you are drinking. That probably is not the case, but a small oversight compared to the highest quality in every other department. The price of the food itself is of reasonable value, considering the quality of the ingredients and the delicacy of the presentation. The drinks are too expensive, but that is to be expected in a resort hotel. I recommend this restaurant highly and look forward to coming back
