"Ilona is an Eastern Mediterranean restaurant with some of the best small plates around campus. You’re going to want to try just about everything on the menu, so either come with a lot of friends or when you’re with someone else who’s footing the bill. It’s fun, it has good cocktails, and it kind of looks like a boutique hotel owned by a wildly successful fashion photographer, so come here, start with the crispy eggplant, and have a good time." - dan secatore
