Had a pleasant experience at ILYA. The food and drinks were delicious and worth coming back for. The ambience is welcoming and the service was better than most. I really liked the warm hospitality that the place provides.
I would like to point out 1 negative - We were indicated at the beginning that we would not be served tapwater, which is surprising in the Netherlands. But over the different courses, they did accommodate our requests and did not deny tapwater. We did order appetizers, mains, and drinks. Please take note of this and be more generous with providing water to your patrons.
I still think this is a 5 star place in the making and will only continue to be more popular! I will definitely be returning here more often.
