"NYC Ilis answers the age-long question of: “What if Noma came to Brooklyn?” The result is a great restaurant that takes itself seriously to the point of being a little bit silly. Inside the former warehouse, you’ll find lots of sneakily expensive Scandinavian furniture, a giant open kitchen, and an army of servers/chefs that could be extras from The Menu. Dishes focus on foraged ingredients throughout North America, like porcinis wrapped in lotus leaf or delicate trout baked in birch bark, but you’ll also encounter some out-there moments like a non-alcoholic Bloody Mary-adjacent beverage you’ll slurp out of a clamshell.
