Review 2 for Ilios Noche

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"One of our favorites! We had a group of 15 for a birthday party and they were very accommodating. The restaurant is on the small side so taking care of a group this size was quite a feat and they took very good care of us. Food quality is right up there with the higher priced restaurants. The atmosphere is very noisy, maybe some fabrics somewhere or accoustical tiles would help but the food is worth it."

Review 10 for Ilios Noche

Overall Rating 3.0 out of 5 (Good)
"Ilios Noche was not what I expected; I have been to Nolen Kitchen several times and always enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. While the food was good, it wasn't great, and I was surprised by how cramped the space was. Our two-person table was 3 feet from the bar, where parents and children were sitting (young children: 3-6 years old!). It was loud and not romantic at all. We probably will not return."

"The food was excellent and the staff was very pleasant and courteous. The only somewhat negative aspect of our experience was that the bar service was a little slow. It was a busy evening, but our friend was left waiting with an empty glass more than once while the rest of us were taken care of."

Review 15 for Ilios Noche

Overall Rating 4.0 out of 5 (Very Good)
"Small, noisy restaurant with excellent Greek food. The menu is large and the prices moderate. Skilled bartender made the best lemon-drop martinis that my wife has ever had. She had the striped bass and I had Moussaka. Both were delicious and the portion size was decent. Home-made desserts were good (Tiramissou, chocolate chip cookies). They have a small selection of kids meals, the kids pizza was fine. Overall, good food, friendly service, but very crowded and noisy on a Saturday night. Will definitely return."

Review 19 for Ilios Noche

Overall Rating 3.0 out of 5 (Good)
"This was our first visit in several months and sadly, they changed the wine menu & our favorite wine (Saintsbury Pinot Noir) disappered from the menu. The appetizer we selected - zuchini & eggplant chips w/taziki sauce was not quite as good as we remembered it to be on our last visit. The veggie chips were slightly greasy & they were a bit stingy on the sauce. The Wood Roasted Salmon with Valenica Rice was excellent - seasoned and prepared perfectly. The veal was not quite as perfectly executed, but was overall a good dish. Dessert did not disappoint - the tiramsu tastes authentic with marscapone & lady fingers dipped in espresso & marsala. The place is small & busy and service is hit or miss but we like the restuarant and will be back."

"We had a mixed experience.The table given to us was right next to the main door. A crowd of walkins were constantly hanging over our table, talking loudly, and bumping our chairs. Horrendous atmosphere to eat. I would NEVER go back again on a weekend night. The two appetizer specials we shared were excellent. My wife ordered the chicken dish made with local chicken (use of local produce was the reason we went and the reason we will go back) and thought it was very good, with real chicken flavor. I ordered a lamb special that was mostly pasta in a heavy cream sauce with a hint of meat that could have been lamb but it could have been anything. I LOVE lamb. I could not taste any lamb. Greek salad was a star. Server was good."
