   We came to Leilani’s for dinner. It was our first visit. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Our server Daniel was energetic and fun. The food was phenomenal. Love the ambiance. Can’t wait to go back. What a great place!

   The food was great, we enjoyed our meal. It's pretty loud inside, a lot of hardscapes. Made it difficult to hear each other and our server. Having said that, the food came out quick and was very good. Didn't like that we had to order from a QR menu on my phone, real menus should be offered. Not the end of the world, but an instant sense of annoyance was felt upon being seated.

   I took my daughters for a night out and we all loved it. They loved their Boba tea and we thoroughly enjoyed our maki rolls. The summer roll was my favorite .

   Love the vibes and the service! The restaurant is beautiful and the service was great. The food was fine — next time we’ll order sushi. It looked great.

    First time there before the Paramount Theater. It was a cold evening and the restaurant was freezing! Many people had coats on especially near the door. The ceilings are very high so heat doesn’t seem to reach the eating area. I can see this is problematic for the diners. We were initially seated behind the hostess stand and all other tables were full. We had coats on and continued to be cold so when we saw people leave in the back, we asked to move. We were accommodated and the hostess was very pleasant. Out waiter greeted us warmly though it is a standard script, as we heard him 2 more times say the same thing with other tables. We prefer more organic, natural introduction. His favorite word which he repeated was “absolutely.” After awhile, we thought it was kind of funny. So, for the food and drink…upsells in drinks must be their thing. My husband spent $29 on his 3oz dry martini. He was charged for each 1.5 oz and an extra charge for “dry”( vermouth). We questioned why he was charged double for 1 drink in the bill and he explained that it was a double 1.5 oz pour. They don’t tell you what you’re getting into and this was obviously their strategy. We have NEVER paid that much for a martini, even in the most expensive of cities, let alone Aurora, IL. This was truly a complete scam. My “mai tai” tasted nothing like a mai tai. It was lychee forward and I didn’t like it much but paid $16 for it. We ordered 2 small plates and one rice dish to share. Korean bbq wings (6), was generous and delicious. The walnut shrimp (5) was just the right amount of heat and tender shrimp. Though it was very good, we prefer PF Chang’s walnut shrimp. The beef rice dish was hearty and good flavor. We took some home since it was a generous portion. The menu has some nice offerings and as we left, we saw some beautiful looking sushi rolls. We took a peek downstairs in their bar/speak easy and looked like a chill place. We’ll return but will order wine or beer and ask to sit in back.
