Chef Mads Refslund, from Copenhagen and co - founder of Noma, Copenhagen, has eight years in the making, opened Ilis in Greenpoint Brooklyn. The restaurant surrounds the working kitchen and the 30 plus staff is all intensely working their positions.
If you have eaten at Noma, you will understand that explaining what you are eating or the ingredients is virtually impossible. It just always works. Ilis is so incredibly delicious.
The staff is perfect. The waiters, sommelier, the general manager were the best at being attentive. All of our wines were paired to our courses and to our taste of wines we like.
This was our first course. Clam broth, two styles of oyster, the sea snail and the uni. We requested to have more uni. They delivered it with no questions asked. It was in front of us promptly and we devoured it.

Well what am I eating? Not sure but it so worked on my palate. I didn't post the wild boar or the salmon course, both blew my mind.
Ingredients: Caviar, consommé, truffles, mushrooms, and of course wine, wine and more wine!

Finale, they ask you to turn your plate over. Well I guess Trent and I we were a hit, because we got a
"We LOVE YOU" plate and a private tour of the kitchen.

Well Chef, As I told you that magical, most impressive three hours of complete wows, you are more fun and exciting to watch than Brad Pitt. I think the meal brought tears to my eyes a handful of times.
Thank you for your hard work and for allowing us the honor to dine at the finest Restaurant in the
United States.
