ilona Boston Reviews
Hitting on all Cylinders!
Ilona is very accessible, at the corner of Massachusetts Ave. and Tremont Street. It was a convenient location for our early dinner and short walk to Symphony Hall. We were the first in the door at the silly hour of 5:30, but when we departed at 7:00
Excellent service and attention
Came here for a work dinner on a Friday night. Definitely crowded and squeezed for space, but service and attention was top notch. The drinks were prompt, food was hot & kept coming. Loved all the kebabs!
Seriously great Mediterranean cuisine
What an amazing dining experience at Ilona. Perfect night with the garage door windows open. The raw oysters, harissa potatoes, chicken skewers, and fatoush salad were all amazing. The service was attentive and top-notch. We highly recommend this res
Excellent Eastern Mediterranean Mezze
Ramon made us feel welcome throughout. We never felt rushed and we were a street walk in at 6:30pm. We had beautiful crispy eggplant discs, and wonton style lamb dim sum. Seafood paella/risotto. Hibiscus ceviche. All washed down with a lovely Leban
Enjoyable Evening
A very good restaurant with excellent food and service. Plates are great for sharing and I liked the atmosphere. Close to the Mass all the food was tasty and fresh. . Good location in Southemd
Disappointed
Disappointed in the reviewers that somehow gave Ilona 4.5 stars. We had 4 mezze. These were made with good ingredients but none had a distinctive taste, all bland. As my wife said, 'I can't tell which one I am eating.' We had asked
Excellent place for brunch
This place is not easy to find, even when you are driving past or walking on the other side of the road, even if you were parked just outside! That is because there is no overhead signs, not even a hanging one over the door. There is literally one si
Wonderful dinner spot
Really delicious food, excellent service and great atmosphere! Must try when in the south end. We will definitely be back!
Brunch- Amazing!!
Well after forfeiting Contessa and deciding to try Ilona, what a great choice! The SERVICE was impeccable and thoughtful. The avo toast, kebab, shakshuka all amazing. The interior is so cute and clean, and Haven was the BEST server ever!!!!
Ambiance was amazing, super cute for a date night.
Went for the first time and Bryan our waiter was awesome, super friendly and recommended his favorite plates which we ordered and did not disappoint. The food was delicious and different from what other restaurants has to offer. We will be returning

Amazing food! Tapas style so definitely get a few dishes to try. My friend and I ordered fried eggplant, octopus, halloumi, and beef kabab. The star of the dish was the fried eggplant!! It was sooo good. Everything else was also really good but I wil
The vibe matches the food perfectly.
The music, the turquoise chairs and the flavor explosion with every bite made it a perfect night out. Our faves where the Batata Harras Potatoes and the Beef Kabab.

I could not belive both bathrooms had no toilet paper and shart stains all over one of the toilets. I found the staff to be quite rude and short, and I could not hear my date at all, I actually ended up telling him to text me his questions because I
Great atmosphere.
The options that could be made vegan were somewhat limited: olives, pikilia (with veggies instead of bread and only 2 of the dips), batata harras, none of the bread, all of the salad and sides except the cauliflower because it's cooked in yogurt, and

Brunch was mediocre.

The food was good i; however, it was overpriced for the amount. We left hungry and nearly deaf . Turn down the music, we could not even hear each other speak!
The only real issue is parking but everything was 10/10.
Service was attentive, fast and friendly. Everything at brunch was delicious (shakshuka, eggplant, roasted mushrooms, octupus). The drinks were so unexpectedly amazing, especially the Pink Velvet cocktail with blueberry infused disaronno. The decor i
Yummy and unique Greek
We loved this! Traditional Greek flavors with a flare on preparation. Most notably the moussaka type lamb filling inside pasta dough dumplings with cream sauce- whoa! They also do basics to perfection- spiced pita bread, swordfish kebab with lemon bu

Amazing food and drinks! We sat at the bar and the bartender was so sweet and make gave us complementary shots. They were superb! The fried eggplant, lamb and trio of dips were great. One of the best Mediterranean restaurants in Boston. Highly recomm

My boyfriend and I went here to grab tapas and drinks and for him to reconnect with a friend from Exeter. I liked the club-like, modern, and elegant ambiance at the bar. The wall art of the woman peering through the flowers was so gorgeous and vibran
Way too loud!
We went to this restaurant with another couple and the music playing was sooo loud! I asked the hostess to turn it down but she said the owner liked the music playing loudly. It was so loud, we could hardly hear each other talking even though we were

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with ilona Boston. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to ilona Boston at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the ilona Boston page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FulfilledThread16, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FulfilledThread16 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FulfilledThread16 for any questions Peter may have as FulfilledThread16 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FulfilledThread16 now uses their connections at ilona Boston to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FulfilledThread16 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FulfilledThread16 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FulfilledThread16's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at ilona Boston!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
