The funny name does not fully represent the quality of the food and experience. There are other places which put on more of a show, but this was our best eating experience. The staff was knowledgeable making great suggestions on foot and wine, and the unique approach to direct fire cooking added tons of flavor.

The best Christmas dinner of all time! Service was perfect and the entertainment and energy was next to none. People of all ages were dancing, eating, celebrating and having the time of their lives. Dancing on chairs, breaking plates- it was the best time. We had our kids with us because it was Christmas of course and they left saying they wish they could go to Ilios every night. It made our trip and I’m so glad we found this for our holiday. Very memorable.

We had the best time tonight, on Christmas Eve. The food and service was excellent - note that the portion sizes are huge. We had the street corn, boing salad, fish of the day, mushroom risotto, chipotle cheddar mashed potatoes, and carrot cake (to go). I don’t know if tonight was typical, but the DJ spun the best mix ever, we were entertained by fire spinners, people dancing on the chairs and takes to music. It was such a fun evening and wonderful way to spend the holiday. My wife said it was one of her best experiences ever. And I agree. We finished the evening with the shisha service while listening to the music and dancing.
