    It was a great experience! The DJ was awesome. I do suggest having the menu specify what items are cooked in shellfish. My waiter was awesome and verified all items for my sister and I as we have a deathly allergy. Specifying the items would increase the turn around for the order process as I felt bad having to constantly re-choose something and taking longer.

    We and the misses have never experienced Lebanese cuisine prior to our Valentine’s Day (2025) visit, and Ilili did not disappoint! It was also our first time having caviar, truffles, tuna tartare and everything tasted simply divine. The courses were well paced and the choices were abundant, but not overwhelming.
