So, this PR girl asked where I could get a good Reuben. 5 people recommended Illusive. You'd never know it was there unless you looked for it. Boy, was I not disappointed. The best Reuben I've ever had. Bought 3 to share with building managers. I'm sure they will also start going too.
We stumbled upon this hidden gem and had the best meal! I had an award winning burger and was blown away, so delicious! My husband had the brisket sandwich, it was beyond! The cocktails were also fabulous. Best part- our waitress, total ray of sunshine, made our dining experience all the better! These guys know what they’re doing! Thanks for a great lunch!
Outstanding!!! From the moment we walked in we felt welcomed. Upbeat waitress gladly answered our questions and made suggestions. Unlike many restaurants that like to cluster their customers together when it's slow (2:00), these folks actually gave us breathing room so that we could enjoy our conversation and not feel as though we had to make friends with the folks at the next table.
