Ilios Noche in Charlotte - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This is our go-to for Greek gyros.

The best Mediterranean food in Clt!

The food was astonishing and delicious. Everything was fresh. Also excellent service from the staff. This was our first visit and do plan to return.

Food is really good. They renovated the whole place and its beautiful. Been here a few times and this is the first time service is terrible. Our waitress was in a rush the whole time. ( it was not busy at all) and barely came to our table at all. She even snatched the check out of my hand. When leaving the place there was noone to hand it to. She dissapeared. I am so dissatisfied and leaving with a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

One of the best restaurants in Charlotte

Outstanding food and service! We tried the octopus appetizer, lamb burger, and pizza. Delicious!

Very, very disappointed with my meal Saturday night. I ordered a medium filet with broccolini. I got a very rare piece of meat, not sure that it was a filet because it was so tough. It was bleeding in the middle. The broccolini was raw. Tasted like they had just poured lemon juice on it and sent it out. The waiter took both back to the kitchen, brought out a well-done piece of meat and more raw broccolini. A manager came to the table and offered to substitute asparagus for the broccolini. The waiter brought out the asparagus and it was burnt. I am not a picky eater and I very rarely send anything back but the kitchen is obviously having some trouble. The waiter didn’t seem to care and our water glasses stayed empty.

Had a delicious dinner tonight. I had scallops with mushroom risotto, it was delightful! The ambiance is romantic and relaxing. Yorelis took exceptional care of us. She is attentive, very friendly, and takes pride in her work. I will definitely be back soon.

Elegant Italian restaurant. That it was nearly full on a Tuesday evening speaks about its quality and popularity. Most customers appear to be regular. The staff are courteous and answer questions related to the food and make recommendations. Chicken Garganelli which came as a recommendation was great.

Lovely presentation to some amazing dishes. Staff is very friendly & attentive.

Great Greek food, the owner and staff overstand the true meaning of Hospitality....Thank you Estrados... Superb every time!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ilios Noche, a restaurant that promises a blend of Mediterranean flavors and modern culinary flair. My experience was a mix of delightful service and atmosphere, albeit with some room for improvement in the culinary department. Here’s an in-depth look at my evening. Food: 3 Stars The food at Ilios Noche, while presented beautifully and in generous portions, fell short of the culinary excellence I was hoping for. • Hummus ‘Revithiasalata’ ($8.00): The hummus was visually appealing, garnished with warm spices and crispy garlic. However, it lacked the depth of flavor that one might expect from a Mediterranean staple. The consistency was smooth, but the seasoning was somewhat underwhelming, failing to deliver the robust, earthy taste I anticipated. • Capellini with Sea Scallops ($35.95): This dish showcased plump sea scallops nestled atop a bed of delicate capellini pasta. The inclusion of pancetta, white wine, garlic, and lemon provided a fragrant aroma. However, the flavors did not meld as harmoniously as expected. While the scallops were perfectly seared, the dish overall lacked a memorable punch, leaving me wishing for a more pronounced zest from the lemon and garlic. • Crazy Lasagna ($24.95): A creative take on lasagna, this dish featured free-form layers of pappardelle pasta enveloped in a rich three-meat Bolognese sauce, topped with molten mozzarella. While hearty and satisfying, the lasagna could have benefited from a more robust seasoning. The Bolognese was flavorful, yet it missed that extra touch of Italian herbs that could elevate the dish to a truly remarkable level. • Lemon & Olive Oil Crème Brûlée “Galaktoboureko” ($10.00): This dessert was a visual delight, pairing a silky lemon-olive oil crème brûlée with a moist lemon-olive oil cake and a refreshing lemon sorbet. Despite its promising components, the dessert was merely average in taste. The brûlée had a nice caramelized crust but lacked the vibrant lemon flavor that I was hoping would shine through. • Aphrodite Cocktail ($16.00): The Aphrodite cocktail was a highlight, blending Smirnoff vodka and St. Elderflower with blackberry and lemon juice. The drink was well-balanced, offering a perfect harmony of sweetness and tartness, with the elderflower providing a delightful floral note. Service: 5 Stars The service at Ilios Noche was nothing short of exceptional. Our server, Hannah, was a consummate professional. Her friendly demeanor and in-depth knowledge of the menu made our dining experience truly special. Hannah’s recommendations were on point, and her attentive service ensured that our glasses were never empty and our needs were promptly met. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of efficiency and warmth in service staff, and Hannah exemplified these qualities perfectly. Atmosphere: 5 Stars The atmosphere at Ilios Noche is where the restaurant truly excels. The interior design is a modern masterpiece, combining sleek lines with warm, inviting elements. The lighting is perfectly tuned to create an intimate dining environment, making it ideal for both romantic dinners and relaxed gatherings with friends. The open kitchen concept adds a dynamic element to the dining experience, allowing guests to witness the culinary artistry in action. The wine display is a standout feature, adding an air of sophistication and offering a visual feast of its own. Overall: While the culinary experience at Ilios Noche had its highs and lows, the outstanding service and enchanting atmosphere make it a venue worth visiting. If you’re looking for a dining spot that offers impeccable service and a chic, inviting ambiance, Ilios Noche should be on your list. The food, though not extraordinary, is good enough to complement the overall delightful dining experience.

Great spot for lunch! Came for dinner. No longer have cappuccino machine. So no after dinner coffee drinks or espresso martini . My daughter was disappointed. Had the trout, usually have the salmon. Will stick to salmon I think. Service is always good.

They are always busy so I strongly recommend reservations. New remodeled, though I thought it was nice before.

Ilios Noche is an upscale edgy restaurant. The server was very knowledgeable and helpful. The offerings are priced high for some very unique tastes. The seating is simply uncomfortable. If you enjoy a very noisy place where you have to speak very loudly to the person next to you, this may be your place. Ilios is a very pretentious restaurant. There are many restaurants that provide quality service and food for a much better price.

It was our second visit to the place where I missed more plates with beef

Had the lamb shank. Excellent meal. Everyone I had taste test the food, gave the meal thumbs up all around...

The food was amazing! We enjoyed every bite. Wife says these are the best grape leaves she has ever had. Our server, Jackie, was wonderful. She was knowledgeable and helpful with the menu and choosing dishes. Very attentive and friendly. We will be going back.

The food is very delicious and the service was very nice, thank you!

Perfect. Great food on the front patio with dear friends.

Wonderful food and service. The atmosphere could be better as it can get quite loud when busy, but the interior is currently undergoing renovation so hopefully that will improve.

Been going to Ilios on Providence since they opened. It was a regular spot for my wife and i as well as our neighbors (meet there) for many years until we moved away. Happened to be back in CLT so of course i had to stop in (and meet my old neighbor there.) They are remodeling currently with limited seating FYI. The style of the past remodel was really nice, so they must be doing something really special for the future. We usually sat at the bar back in the day, and did so this trip as well, and went early to ensure there was plenty of seating available. The food and service did not disappoint. Top notch as always! Got stuffed on a bevy of appetizers (stuffed peppers, Greek fries, ribs and meatballs) and it was all delicious! Bartender hooked me up with a mini margarita that was superb! (Because i was too full to hold a regular size - mixed perfectly, despite the miniaturization) As always, Ilios Noche is a great place to dine!😋 Sorry i missed you Stratos 🙁 Next time for sure! This visit, the food and service

Visiting from Lexington it had been a while since having anything resembling Greek food. It was difficult deciding what to eat and we decided to order several appetizers in order to get a good sampling. Spinach Pie, Zucchini and Eggplant Chips with Tzatziki Dill, Dolmades, Grilled Octopus and a ZPita Sandwich. All of the above were very good and I look forward to returning on my return to Charlotte.

The food was very good. I would not reorder what I had, nor would my friend reorder what she had, but my other friend's food was exceptional-lamb chops! It's sooo expensive though.

The food was great and we sat outside enjoying the weather. Will definitely come back.

Incredibly exquisite food! 💓 Staff is friendly and attentive.

I’ve been to another Ilios before so I knew what to expect. This one was just as good. This one’s a little more upscale with table service. The ambience was like a mid scale restaurant. Tables and booths and there was a very cool bar area that was very cozy. I didn’t get our servers name but she was fantastic. Gave us a lot of great options and was very attentive to our table. They had really good wine and alcohol choices. The food was delicious. We had the octopus, the red pepper hummus, the eggplant chips, the mushroom pizza and the Gyro sandwich with fries. The fries were my favorite part of this meal. I asked for them extra crispy and they were perfectly seasoned. I absolutely loved them. Everything else was delicious as well. Will definitely go back.

OK but not same level of service and quality as in the past, especially for the price. Waitress worked more on up-selling add-ons but did not say they were. Like garlic bread is an up charge. Ordered salad and asked for plate to give my wife part and there was a sharing charge for $3.50. Just seems cheap. Will be a while before we try again as there are better choices around these days.

The food here is always amazing. I ordered the ribs and they fall off the bone. My girlfriend and I really enjoy the fried zucchini chips. She ordered the chicken gyro and she loved it. Today was my birthday and they made a custom menu for me with my name at the top. We’ve been here several times and the service and food are always excellent. I highly recommend! :-) ✅

I love Ilios, it is one of my favorite restaurants, the food is delicious, I always go with my son to eat there.

Great service, delicious food. I mean it. Everything sooo delicious! Live music every Friday.

Ilios has been one of my favorites for well over a decade. We are never disappointed with the food, cocktail/wine selection, atmosphere, or service. Stratos (owner) treats everyone like family and makes you feel so welcomed! I highly recommend this to anyone in Charlotte looking for a great date night, night out with friends, or who just wants to sit at the bar and watch the game for a bit.

I came with my Fitness boot camp for a group dinner. The only thing better than the food (I had the lamb chops and potatoes) was the service.

Most tender octopus I have ever had, you could cut it with your fork and melt in your mouth, every dish we had was amazing, the wine was superb. I highly recommend this restaurant, I can't wait to return.

Food was excellent and came out very quickly. There was a warm and friendly environment. Professional. Delicious. Affordable.

Just excellent. Service was over and beyond expectations. All of our dishes were excellent. Priced very reasonable considering the level of service we received.y rack of lamb was very good.

As a regular I am biased. But I am regular because this place is good. Accommodating and good food. Can’t ask much more than that. Bartenders are good. They will remember you.

This is one of our favorite restaurants in the area. We enjoy dining and sitting at the Bar. The people who work there are amazing. Service is top-notch. Ofcourse the food is perfect. Especially the seafood.

Food was just ok and the service was just mediocre. Parking was really convenient and a short walk. Do not know if I will return.

Our go to place for great food, drinks and service. The waiters were accommodating and the manager was always around checking to make sure everything was OK. Gotta try the Smoky in the Rye

Great place. Food and drinks were amazing. Fun, lively atmosphere.

After a wonderful lunch at Ilios Noche, I must rave about the delicious and varied menu. We had the most courteous and professional server, Trip. He was so friendly and knowledgeable. I have never had a better meal, great atmosphere and awesome service. Please do yourself a favor and have a meal at Ilios, especially if you are gluten-free. They have a fantastic choice of Mediterranean fare. This has made our Sunday afternoon a very pleasant experience.

Amazing food! That's all I can say...I cleaned my plate!!

The lamb skewers were medium rare. The atmosphere was very loud. And hence service was slow. Ofcourse we were there Friday night, so I guess it is what it is.

Eh. Not the Ilios Noche I remembered. We used to come fairly regular. Food was reasonably priced and always good. Tonight things were considerably different. The food was undercooked and just not worth the amount we spent for the bill. Our server was very polite but I don’t think she understood our order. We had to send food back which I make a point not to do because of my background in food service. Disappointed that one of our favs is not on the list anymore. I honestly would rather have Showmars in the future if I get a hankering for Greek food. There are also a few other Greek options but less convenient. Bottom line, foods ok but not for 30 or more bucks a plate.

My fiancé and I gave been coming here for the last two and a half years. I used to always get the chicken skewers but now I’m obsessed with the kale and beet salad. I hope they never get rid of that salad. It’s always so nice to have either Tripp, G, Jackie, Hannah, Ureli, Alisha or Kenya as our server. They are all so kind and always happily greet us. It’s so helpful that they remember what we always get and they anticipate our needs. Which is nice because we don’t have to ask. Jose, the manager, is super professional, friendly, and makes sure all the tables are okay. He is always helping the servers, which makes a good manager. Other managers at other places just walk around and don’t help out. I also want to give a shout out to the server assistants Angel and Fransisco because they really work their butt off. No joke. They see a table that needs to be cleared and they are on it immediately. They are always helping around. The atmosphere is a little older in decor but the food and staff more than make up for it. ♥️

We just had Valentines dinner here, but I’ve been a regular for years. What a great experience. Impeccable service, knowledgeable server, delicious staple items and special features. The Valentine cocktail special was amazing as well, along with an extensive wine menu. This is my favorite restaurant in Charlotte. This restaurant never misses.

We got delivery. How were the loukamdes got still hot?? I am blaming your dad Paños. Anyway the food was lovely, thank you?

Love the food and love the atmosphere. Whether you’re looking to get a quick bite for lunch or enjoy a nice long dinner, Ilios Noche never disappoints. Also, the staff is very friendly and attentive. My favorite: the grilled octopus. And the risotto is fantastic!

The food was good but a little pricey.

Exceptional range and depth of cuisine. Very attentive polished wait staff. Do try the appetizer chips!

Fantastic flavor with a diverse menu and so many items to love!

Friday night music and food is amazing!

We started off with the hummus and calamari. The hummus was chunky..which wasn't usual but pretty good. Calamari..wasn't pleasant. It had an odd taste..perhaps fresh just odd. The tomatoe sauce was just enough to cover the taste. The lamb burger was cooked perfectly and the salad we enjoyed. The chicken panini was on the dryer side. The potatoes I really enjoyed. Blue cheese in the pizza...was unexpected. I'm not even sure if it was blue cheese, but it's super funky and salty pizza. It had a really bad balance of flavors. On the other hand, the capellini was quite good. Scallops cooked well, the pasta was definitely the most enjoyable dish.

I went for lunch with my parents. We felt like we were VIP. The waitstaff, was exceptionally on task. Our server name Xavier made sure we had the best experience ever.. Then to top it off, Mr. Jose, the manager, checked on us 3-4 times, making us feel like family. I have recommended this establishment to 4 friends. If your looking for clean, fresh food, with a serious commitment to customer satisfaction, then this is the place.

My husband and I LOVE Illios Noche!! Our favorite date night spot — best food, cocktails, and atmosphere

Tasty Greek influences all over the menu.

I had the sea bass so many bones 🦴 it was not edible. Falafel we’re to crunchy. The waiter barely paid attention to us and it was not busy. I was very disappointed with the service. I will not be returning 👎🏽👎🏽

This place is amazing and a top recommendation if in the Charlotte area. You walk in and are warmly greeted by staff and live music. The food is made with quality ingredients and prepared wonderfully. Cant go wrong with anything on the menu that catches your eye. The lamb chops and the ribs are my top choices!

An antisemitic patron behind us was spreading hate and calling us names! The manager did nothing!!!! Said " I am in the middle, I didn't hear it so.." Disgusting!! They did nothing to protect us!

Everything about this dining experience was top notch. Food was great, service was outstanding, drinks were appropriately poured.

Usually it's pretty decent food. Quality and portion size was a bit lacking on this to go order...

It was our first time at Ilios Noche, prompted by friends' recommendations. It's surprising that, despite years of dining in the Waverly area, we had never visited this restaurant. The service, food, and atmosphere exceeded our expectations! The menu offers something for everyone, and as a family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids), we sampled a diverse range of dishes—all of which were delicious. We've now discovered one of our new favorite local restaurants. I highly recommend giving it a try!

Please come back 2 Quail Corners!!!!!!!!! We loooooooooove and need you!!

We have dined here since it opened and it’s NEVER disappointed! This is our go to place for consistently great food and great service! We went this evening and enjoyed it as usual! Thank you to all the staff for another great dining experience!

Yorelis was amazing! Great customer service. Food was outstanding. We will be back.

Always phenomenal service and perfectly timed and prepared entrees. Undisputed kings of perfect table service. One of my few "go-to" restaurants for a guaranteed wonderful dinner. Kudos to the management, staff, family, and chefs at Ilios Noche. Bravo!

I don't get to this place often because it's not close to home or where I generally hang out. But it's always excellent. They used to have another location in south Charlotte. I was bummed when they closed. The wine selection is good. I've multiple items on the menu and it's always good (meatballs, lamb chops, mesclun salad, octopus, zucchini chips, just to name a few). I sat on the patio on a nice Friday afternoon for a boss lunch this time. I definitely recommend. IG: cltfooddrinkguy

I don’t live close to Ilios Noche but will absolutely make the drive because it is 100% worth it, every time. The food is spectacular- everything I have eaten from here is always wonderful. The food is always flavorful, excellent quality, and the service and atmosphere is fantastic.

I ordered th Lamb Youvetsi Me Mantra. The lamb was stringy, salty, and dry. There was no sauce which might have helped the dryness. The orzo was flavourful but if it wasn't take out, I would have sent my meal back. As always the grilled octopus was the best!

Visited 2x and both times the food wasn't good. I had kale salad with shrimp, but I couldn't eat it. The smell was terrible. My son had chicken parm, but the chicken was tough. My daughter also didn't eat her spaghetti & meatballs.

Place needs to be remodeled. Giant mirrors in dinning room are dirty, wallpaper coming off the walls! Way over priced! 3 pieces of chicken for 28 dollars! Delicious, yes!

Second time dining here and wonderful experience. Staff is friendly and food is delicious. Enjoy the stuffed grape leaves and the goat cheese stuffed peppers and chicken lemonata. They have generous portions. Would like to see some gluten-free dairy-free dessert options.

Classy restaurant with amazing food and staff.

I wanted to try a bite of everything! Very polite staff and my caprese panini was delicious.

El mejor restaurante, la comida deliciosa la atención excelente 100 % recomendable

Favorite place for outside business lunch. Grilled Octopus 🐙 is amazing!

Amazing food and service! We had the kale salad, calamari, flatbreads

It is not acceptable that you take orders for a kid's orange juice and forget to deliver. Overall service was very slow.

Great food, amazing service, very quick and accurate. Yorelis was our server and extremely nice and attentive. We will be back!

They have great food and service!!!

Great food. Unbelievable portions. Fresh ingredients and great atmosphere.

I want to say thank you to our waitress Chiara C always had a smile and a good sense of humor, be back, hope to have you as our waitress 🌹

The menu has changed from a couple of years ago.

Love Ilios Noche! The food is always fantastic, good service and they weren't slammed when we went there for lunch on a Saturday. A little pricey, but worth it. Great tzatziki and spinach pie - my favorite!

Blown away by the food quality and service. Might be the best ribs I’ve ever had. Have heard about this place for a long time so glad to finally have experienced. We had a large group and service was great and food was fast. Get the roast pork ribs!!!!

Dinner is always done to perfection, however the desserts can use a bit more of a creative touch. We will be back but will probably skip dessert.

Always a good meal and enjoy the atmosphere. Service was very slow

I love Greek food. I cook it myself at home, but its nice to go out to eat, so I went here. What a terrible disappointment. I will talk about the Falafel Plate. The falafels tasted like newspaper. It was so bad I threw it away after the first 3 bites. Then there is the space pie which also lacked flavor. This is the 2nd time I've tried this restusarwnat and will not attempt a 3rd.

I liked the atmosphere and decor. I ordered the grilled octopus and chickpea salad side. The octopus was very good, the salad nothing spectacular. Overpriced for the portion size and they had 1 waiter covering 2 sections. I literally had to stand up and see the hostess in order to request my check because the waitress did not ever stop or looked at my table after serving my food. I will not be returning. TOO EXPENSIVE!

This used to be our favourite place as a family with young kids up until 2-3 years ago. There was a server named Nadia at the park road location who was impeccable and you felt like you were at a high end place and their moussakka and bread were delicious. However, last night my friends and decided to have a girls’ night out with our older kids (between 10-12) and it was a HUGE disappointment. Prices are high end but the service by Suzanne as well as the food were WAY below average. Our server was overwhelmed from the word go! I tried to make her life easier by asking her to take down each order (mom+kids) separately so there would be no confusion for her in the end with the separate checks. She looked at me like I had two heads or like I wasn’t speaking English. I wanted the lasagne and asked if it had pork stating that I don’t eat pork and she said yes it does and kept standing right in my bubble and I felt pushed to make a quick second choice so I quickly picked the chicken panini… this should’ve been her cue to tell me it had prosciutto in it but she didn’t and I didn’t see it either. When the sandwich came out I told her I didn’t realise it had prosciutto in a chicken panini and that I hadn’t touched it and if she could please take it away… up until this point I was very kind but her snide remark ‘ well it doesn’t matter if you touched it or not it’s not like we can serve it to anyone else either now’. I don’t know your new menu- but as a seasoned server if I tell you I don’t eat something and then order something with ‘something’ in it it should your cue to warn me. Anyway, the sandwich was replaced or brought back without prosciutto by the owner with a scowl. Needless to say I lost my appetite and left the restaurant eating nothing. We were a table of 8 so the tip was already built in and that’s what was taken advantage of by the service… the waters weren’t replaced until I asked her to, never once did she smile and not once did she come by to check on us and the food unless we tried to hail her down for something. Will definitely not be back and would 10/10 NOT recommend.

Horrible service. With both the owner and manager at the restaurant I expected better. Restrooms also needed attention. Probably our last visit.

Walked in, was told 30 to 45 min wait, it is now 90 min and we still waiting.

I used to eat here on a regular basis. First, I.N. changed the menu (before Covid) and dropped some tasty items, then prices started going up, while quality certainly started to go down. I understand that it is harder today to find good cooks and skilled, polite servers. Restaurant owners either have a hard time training their employees properly or do not care. The "Chicken Marsala" was dry, the pasta was not any different; the chicken was 'slapped' on top of it and pressed down, decorated with a wilted salad leaf, flavor? non-existent. The presentation was unappetizing, and an 8-year-old could have done better. I had the burger which was ok (with a lot of goodwill) and completely overpriced. The best part were the crispy potato fries. I wish the owner would pay as much attention to quality service and quality food as he does to raising prices! Almost $30 for a lunch burger and a drink is pushing the upper limit for being acceptable. He already closed his restaurant on Park Rd/Quail Hollow. I hope he sees (and stops) the trend. After returning the chicken dish, the manager had the decency to voluntarily take the item off the bill and he came to apologized without blaming it on Covid or anything else. The waitress was the winner of the day, she was attentive, very polite and pleasant, and did not rush you through the meal. Finally, I am not going to some fast-food joint expecting instant service. I want to enjoy my eating experience and welcome a somewhat slower service where the server does not try to rush you to turn tables. If Restaurants are short staffed, I understand. Quality always ranks above quantity in my book.

Do a reservation, everyone is trying to get into this Gem!

Appetizers here at $15-20 are the cost of a full meal at many places. To start, we called to see if they had availability. They indicated there would be a wait.....we were in the parking lot. when we entered, there were many available seats. we were seated immediately. the waitress took our drink orders - a glass of wine. We received no followup and left after waiting. At least they could have returned to take an appetizer order or answer menu questions. This is a restaurant that is lost. It is priced like fine dining but is an average restaurant. We've been on an off for 15+ years. We no longer call it a last resort but now have dropped it off our list.

Though this place obviously needs an inferior upgrade, it is very cozy there, the staff is amazing, and the food is very delicious!

Waited for 15 minutes and no waiter came to us. The spaghetti noodles sticking to each other, so does the rice. And lamb is dry. Won’t come again

Perfect place for a date night!

Been here a few times for girls night and I absolutely love it. The food is phenomenal, the service is on point and I love the atmosphere here. Highly recommend the hummus for an app and the salads are delicious!
