🌟 NYC | ilis - Nordic Innovation That Actually Tastes Good! 🌟

The much-hyped Nordic spot from a Noma co-founder isn't trying to be the next Noma - and that's okay! Despite early mixed reviews, our experience was delightfully surprising (if slow - pace yourself for a 3-hour flavor journey!). 📍 ilis (Menu changes seasonally - reserve via Resy) 🤯 Standout Dishes: • Conch Shell - Smash-open drama with aromatic chilled broth • Sweet Potato + Caviar - Hot/crispy meets cold/luxurious = HEAVEN • Live Scallop - Buttery with kombu & green strawberry magic • Mere Point Oyster - Creamy with coastal herb finish • Tuna Two Ways - Aged "ham" + torched with sesame = umami bomb • Quail - Perfectly gamey with zucchini-cucumber freshness 🍄 Honorable Mentions: Grilled mushroom skewers, frozen carrot dessert, and that oak-air mousse with rye caramel! #NordicNYC #ilisEats #ScandiFlavors #FoodInnovation #NYCDining #NomaVibes
