The 19 Best New Restaurants In NYC - New York - The Infatuation
"What exactly is happening in Greenpoint? You look away for one second, and all of a sudden there’s a candlelit warehouse filled with people in all-black uniforms who want, more than anything, to tell you about their foraged autumn olives. From a Noma alum, Ilis is a fine-dining spot where dinner starts at five courses and each locally-sourced ingredient has a quaint backstory. Your server, who is also a cook, will give a short speech on every dish, from the charred wild boar to the sweet smoked eel that’s meant to be eaten like corn on a cob. It’s all a little ridiculous, and it’s also enthralling." - Bryan Kim, Sonal Shah, Willa Moore, Neha Talreja, Will Hartman
