The servers at Ilona are so courteous and attentive. It really feels like they have your best interest at heart. Besides that, I love the crispy eggplant and their buck a shuck deal keeps me coming back too. Would highly recommend people to try out this classy restaurant.

The food was amazing—so tasty, so good! I haven’t had anything this flavorful in a long time. I got the Mejadra, cauliflower harra, and manakish bread—everything hit the spot. Portions are on the smaller side, but enough if you’re not super hungry. Super friendly staff and no wait, which was a nice bonus. Great outdoor seating for a summer night.
Go for the one dollar oyster deal. Yum yum, what a good price for some delicious oysters in a nice setting with a good atmosphere. MUST. I mean MUST try the brussel sprouts. Best in this world. The sauces were saucing. Holy cow I can not wait to eat more brussel sprouts here. Yum yum yum. Service ok.

Came here with a party of 8 on a Saturday evening for the $1 oysters, and we were so glad we made reservations—it was busy! From the moment we walked in, the place was absolutely breathtaking. I instantly fell in love with the decor—teal is my favorite color, so I was a total sucker for the vibe! I ordered the Passionfruit Martini and was hooked after the first sip. The service was amazing—every staff member we interacted with was incredibly sweet and friendly. Street parking is available nearby, which was a plus. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish!

Delicious eggplant, great breads especially the imeruli khachapuri, and fantastic seafood. Swordfish and shrimp are great! Nice vibe and service!

I ate at Ilona for the first time Saturday 7/26/2025 for a friend's birthday. Not only was the food fire but our waitress was the best server I've ever had, and better than I was when I waited tables. Not only did she talk nail design with us but her attention to detail was next level. I don't drink, it gives me a headache, I was the only one at my table not drinking. She brought shots to celebrate the birthday girl and as I was preparing to waive mine away, like always, she said this one isn't alcoholic and hands it to me. I wanted to cry I felt so seen. No fuss, no questions just hands me a tasty mocktail shot so I could be included. I wish I remembered her name, I was a touch overstimulated and I'm blanking but she is a PROFESSIONAL. If the restaurant sees this we were a table of 5 women and our reservation was 8 pm, we sat by the front door. She is worth her weight in gold.

I dined there yesterday evening with my friends and my 1.5 year old son, who is not very interested in sitting at the table normally. We had great service from beginning to end. Filipe made my son a virgin cocktail so he could enjoy one with us and brought him blueberries to snack on. I was actually able to sit with my friends and enjoy dinner. The food was delicious and we will absolutely go back! :)
Absolutely incredible dining experience. Everything we ordered was delicious and they were so friendly and kind, especially to our 8 year old daughter. She also loved everything, especially the steak kabobs.

Was excited about this place but left pretty disappointed. The portions are small (there were 4 tiny pieces of halloumi for $17) and most of the flavors were meh. The lamb was severely under seasoned, even lacked salt. The only good dish I can recommend was the eggplant. The interior design was also dated. Probably won’t be returning.
