Quotes

"It's really cool that we got to see them all the way through its lifespan from being on the beach this morning to being on my plate tonight. It's hairless squid and it looks amazing. The tomato tare so flavorful. The sea beans actually give a little bit of that like a solidity. We worked hard for this dish so I'm glad we got to try it."

"To round out our savory courses for the night we had this gnarly looking golden Amish chicken with pickled ramps and a sauce made from chicken and green rhubarb. They basically taken the chicken put it back onto the leg after they've turned it into essentially like this meatball. It looks freaking great, but so juicy the spices are amazing. It's not a spicy sort of heat, but it's spice driven. That is phenomenal. Holy crap."

"We finished the night with desserts which like every other dish on the menu refused to be put in a box and not gonna lie these desserts were incredible. This wheatgrass and sorrel granita came on a stunning patch of wheatgrass. It was so refreshing and vegetal with a little lemony kick from the sorrel."

"Finally we had a super delicate and spongy oak mousse that they puffed up using a vacuum and that balanced nicely with a rich and nutty caramel sauce and with that the dinner was over."

"So after 12 hours with the team here at Ilis from foraging in the morning to the farmers market to prepping for dinner in the kitchen and an 18 course 4 hour long meal seeing some of the most interesting foods, you can really see just how special Ilis is."

"They're embracing that primitive fine dining concept and truly changing what a restaurant can look like in New York City. It's a place that's unique, creative and of course delicious and is somewhere that everyone should check out."
