| Comments: | This is the first time I have been to Iliki, and definitely not the last. Every part of the meal was enjoyable, and the staff was excellent. The owner was able to suggest wines for the meal and was very friendly. And- they let you relax and enjoy your meal- they don't try to run you out after you've finished. Everyone should try it.

| Service: | | Notes: | Varies... Owner is kind. Heavy, red head waitress is rude! |
| Favorites: | Red pepper dip |
| Comments: | This place is wonderful. However, I will no longer eat here. The red headed waitress has always been extremely rude. She is pushy with trying to get you to order more food. She is very impolite and is not truly intouch with the customers needs. The last time I at dinner at this place, she yelled at me very loudly, and the owner who was aware something was going on, never came over to see what up. There is a dark cloud at Iliki! |

| Comments: | I've eaten at Illiki since they moved North, and it's been fun to see the restaurant evolve. Their menu is larger and even more varied. I always try something from the "Specials" list. The wine selection has grown into a truly special list of wines. I highly recommend this place. |

| Comments: | While looking for a gyro place up north we were advised to check this place out. Upon ariving with our two children (ages 5 and 6) we were placed in the very back corner. Waitress was very rude and almost hostile with our children, most likely due to the fact that they were slow in ordering. Food does not warrant a return trip. :( |
