ILIS is an American $$$$ restaurant built for the long, composed meal: reviewers specifically call out a 10-course tasting and a smaller 5-course menu, with flavors moving from lighter to richer and a polished sense of pacing. The room gets nearly as much attention as the food, described as elegant, warm, and among the city’s most beautiful spaces.
ILIS holds a 4.3 Google rating across 281 reviews and has logged 1,229 all-time Blackbird check-ins, with Saturday and Friday as its busiest check-in days.
Reviews emphasize freshness, balance, creative cooking, drinks that paired well with the food, professional service, and a meal that feels special without reading cold. The smaller menu was reported at roughly 2 to 2.5 hours, which gives you a useful baseline for the commitment.
