Fui para mi cumpleaños y la experiencia es única, la comida es excelente, las albóndigas son exquisitas. El precio es elevado pero vale mucho la pena ya que pagas por la calidad de todo. Regresaría sin pensarlo. Muchas gracias a Alan y Rodo nuestros meseros por hacer de esta ocasión inigualable.

Unbelievable that we were told it would cost $500 peso for a change of charcoal for a hookah we already paid $1250 pesos for. Also, I cannot believe a service tip is mandatory at 15%. The food is already ridiculously overpriced for what it is. Glad I'm on holiday as I will not return.

Ilios has a party vibe but the food is not good. We paid $225 for a lobster (1,200 grams at 3.5p per gram!!) which is outrageous, especially because it was very poor quality. It arrived half raw to the table, went back to the grill, and it was about 5 bites of stringy lobster. Our bill came to just under $400 for two people (1 appetizer, 2 cocktails, one lobster, a salad) and we really felt ripped off. If you go to Ilios, just go for drinks. The food is just not worth it.

Very disappointing. Our reservation was for 9pm and there was not a table available when we arrived so we had a drink at the bar. The hosts completely forgot about us. We asked several times and finally got seated a 2 hours later. The hosts and management were horrible. The food and the servers were great.

Was my husbands 50th. We asked for a good table before we got there, also when we arrived but were seated near the toilets. Then a big table of people arrived and they kept knocking our chairs so we asked to be moved (understandable that it was not the venues fault). We were finally moved. Service was good but food was terrible….did not taste Greek at all and was not great flavours. The entertainment was good but definitely overall the amount it cost was not value for money….they need to charge less or have much better food.

Booked an experience days in advance, paid upfront and was told upon arrival that they only had a seat at the bar. Was only taken to a table after a 20 minute wait and an argument with an Argentinian who seemed to be in charge and assured us he had no tables available, after finally asking for a refund, manager claimed he had no means to do so, and a table magically appeared shortly. What a terrible way to start a NYE party.

Amazing evening with family for NYE. Staff was exceptional as well as the food, manager and servers. Our perfect evening was their top priority and was much appreciated. All the special “extras” and entertainment well thought out. So fun!! LOVED THE MUSIC! A memorable NYE we won’t forget. Can’t wait to come back.
