The food was good but not great. The appetizers are your best bet and more with the Greek flavors. The entree look like something you will find in any decent restaurant but nothing special about it and nothing Greek about it. The service was good so we’re the appetizers. My glass of wine was small so you should know that if you are going to choose that route.

La experiencia de entrada no fue buena ya que al llegar al lugar la hostess menciono que la reservación había sido cancelada, cuando hacía 2 horas yo había confirmado personalmente nuestra asistencia,había ido a mi hotel a arreglarme y al regreso ya no había reservación, el lugar tenía espacios disponibles y al explicar la situación y verme molesta nos brindaron la atención, cabe mencionar que la ubicación de la mesa no era la mejor a pesar de que había lugares disponibles con mejor vista al show y 5ta avenida , lo cual me pareció de mal gusto , después de se decidieran a brindarnos el servicio la atención fue excelente de parte de todo el personal 100 de 100 , la comida nos gusto y el ambiente insuperable me encanto, lo recomiendo ampliamente ya que el precio es accesible y la experiencia es muy buena . Sugerencia para la cadena : tener seriedad y control sobre sus reservaciones una vez que aceptas brindar la atención a un cliente / comensal es un compromiso con el cual deben cumplir

Excellent restaurant!!! The food was absolutely outstanding! The octopus carpaccio and the ravioli were amazing but honestly the baklava was the most delicious baklava I ever had!! The restaurant is well decorated and the staff was very attentive and welcoming. The only negative point was the noise. Too much music for me, I couldn’t hear my family talking to me. But overall, very good restaurant!!

Extremely fun atmosphere with their shows that begin at 830 pm. Great drinks and ambiance. The Branzino was amazing, and the pastas, however, the lamb chops and oyster left us wanting more flavor. Specifically the lamp chops. They tasted flavorless and I had to send them back, the second time they came out it was definitely 100% better and that’s how their lamb chops should have been from the beginning. But we still loved this place!

Restaurante con fama muy inmerecida. Comentarios favorables de comida griega de quienes jamás han comido una verdadera comida griega. Restaurante espectáculo al estilo de una cena de gala de un crucero. ( servilletas al aire y que nadie sabe para que) Precio calidad muy deficiente para un turísta con dinero y escaso gusto. Jamás volveré, cenaré en el Harrys y de fiesta en cualquiera de las barras musicales que hay a 200 metros.

Was a nice vibe, service was great but music was more Arabic than Greek and the only thing I really didn’t appreciate is that they don’t ask you how much tip you would like to leave. They automatically put 20%.

Although with a reservation and arriving on time, my pregnant wife and I stood waiting for about 15mins before being seated. Acknowledging that the restaurant was busy, the food wait times were also long, to the point where our entree took so long that we decided to cancel one and leave early. The ambience was energetic and fun.

My wife and I came here in our honeymoon and it was an incredible experience. The service was immaculate, from pushing your chairs in for you, to preparing your drinks at the table; we were treated with so much kindness. The food was delicious and authentic, the fire show and belly dancers were entrancing. The beauty of the restaurant takes you to another place. We would come back to Playa del Carmen just to come back to Ilios. We were in shock with the experience as we’ve never had anything like it. We also expected to pay quite a lot more for what we were given. Easily affordable, incredible. We will recommend everyone!!!!
