    I've always had a good experience at Ilili, and have been there several times in the past, but only for dinner (This time I went for brunch). Our server took a lot of time explaining the items on the menu. The quality of the cocktails and mezzas we ordered were really good, with food at a good warm temperature and seasoned well. I did like the variety of dinner menu offering more than the weekend brunch menu, and the brunch menu had more items that were more typical brunch items (e.g. Salmon burger, avocado toast). Nevertheless, the brunch food was still decent.

    The steak is AMAZING! The buzz of the restaurant is wild, the staff are attentive and helpful. The whole experience was fabulous, 10/10 recommend! It is on the pricier side, but it is absolutely worth the money, one not to be missed!

    Great night! Had my sales teams holiday dinner there tonight. They had to turn our table over after two hours and 45 minutes, and politely asked us to leave, but I can understand that. They did a great job on one of the busiest nights in the city.
