Ilios Noche Quail Co

This is one of my regular spots. The food is always excellent! I’ve had the lemonata, braised lamb, grilled octopus, pasta with scallops, spicy lamb pizza and some other things. The only thing I didn’t like was the falafel. EVERYTHING is delicious! My son knocked my drink over and they ran out of one ingredient and used something else. It was still good!

The ambiance is beautiful. The seafood chowder was spectacular. My server (Emily) was courteous, attentive, and charming. The acknowledgement nod from mgmt makes you feel special. The food and value is excellent. This place is great!

We spent New Years here and it was amazing, they were very accommodating and the food was great! As always it was a great experience!

This place doesn’t disappoint. The food tastes amazing, very fresh ingredients. Salty, but not too salty. Good sized portions. We split the chicken panini and it was more than enough for us both. The staff always friendly and the place is very clean.

Fabulous lamb burgers! We ordered take-​out and the lamb burgers were sublimely delicious. Rich, buttery lamb meat with feta, roasted red peppers and savory flavors on a yummy roll with a side of «greek fries» that are basically sliced new potatoes roasted with oregano. Yummy! I think it is one of the best lamb burgers in Charlotte!

This was my first time here. I’ve been wanting to come for months to try their lunch special. My friend and I had lunch today and everything was so delicious. He had the lamb burger with Greek fries, I had the lunch special with salmon, Greek salad, and broccolini. The food was so fresh and flavorful. We both agreed that we would definitely come back.

LOVE this place. I’d leave it at that, but Unilocal requires a long review. The lamb burger is probably their most-​ordered dish, and it’s so good. Overall, this place serves quality, elevated Mediterranean food with a twist. The atmosphere is open and inviting. It’s beautiful. I love sitting at the bar.

This place was already awesome to me with their delish lamb dishes and fresh salads. I just learned that they had a lunch special for $ 10 on Monday-​Friday where you get one entrée, a salad and a side dish. It’s not huge portions, but definitely enough to fill you, and super delicious. A must go-​to place for nice ambiance, great food and great service!

Brunch on Sunday absolutely delicious! The spinach pie to start was warm and tasty! The lamb burger was so good! Really fresh, tons of flavor! Defiantly would recommend this place! Next time we’re in town we will come back, so much more on the menu to try!

It’s hard to give a place five stars after one meal. This is one of those places. I can’t wait to go back and try other menu items. Highlights: Food was the star of the night. Service and ambience a close second.
Waiting to head to the Charlotte Film Festival on a cold and rainy night, I stumbled upon this place on Unilocal & decided to give it a go. I was quickly seated on a Friday night at 8p. The menu overwhelms the mind a bit, as it has many traditional Mediterranean centerpieces, a good amount of seafood choices, and a handful of other entrees and sides (such as pizza and lasagna).
I began with the falafel appetizer, and it did not disappoint. 4 perfectly fried balls of goodness, swimming in a shallow pool of some of the best tzatziki sauce I’ve ingested. I lived in the LA area for 10 years, and this was one of the top 3 falafels I’ve ever experienced.
As for the entrée, I asked my waiter, Daniel, his recommendation, and without hesitation, he suggested the Lamb ‘Youvetsi Me Manestra’. It is described as «slow braised lamb shank, tomato shallot orzo, mizithra cheese.» Wow. Just, wow. It was very close to a perfect dish. The lamb was tender and fell apart as the mizithra cheese slowly melted into each bite, adding another layer of flavor. Spices were mixed in well, and the perfectly cooked orzo complimented each bite. It was a good sized portion, but I had to finish it. It was one of those meals you didn’t want to end.
Do yourself a favor and give Ilios Noche a try. Date night, anniversary, or just after a long week of work, this is the kind of restaurant that deserves to be celebrated.

I came here for brunch and I wasn’t impressed by their brunch menu. It lacks depth and creative choices for brunch options. There were three fritattas and some omelet options and of course waffles and pancakes. I was just searching for something more creative. It was a little heavier on the lunch side than brunch.
I got the chicken and waffle sandwich. I had issues with it and had to send it back. I’m not one for sending food back unless it’s just wrong. The chicken wasn’t well seasoned and desperately needed some salt. The waffles were rock hard, you could Crack a tooth on them. I was with a large party and 3 of us hard waffles and we sent them all back. Both times my sandwich didn’t have the honey&hot sauce and ligonberry jam on it as described on the menu. When I asked about the jam, no one seemed to know or realized that the jam was supposed to be on the sandwich. And I never did get the honey & hot sauce combo.
The Greek fries were great. I actually paired them with their homemade tzatziki sauce, which I was charged $ 1 extra for a small ramekin of.
If I come back here, I will try dinner and not brunch. Maybe their dinner dishes are winners. Fingers crossed!

Ilios Noche has a great menu! I start with the Musclun Salad, which has candied walnuts and blue cheese. Their falafel is out of this world. I always think about getting a second order. I also like to have the broccolini.
I enjoy sitting outside and listening to the music. Ilios Noche is my ‘go to’ restaurant for a healthy, relaxing meal!

OMG! All Around Superb!
I had never heard of this place before, but had received a coupon for a free appetizer and went for brunch. The service was excellent, our waitress Anna G was on top of everything! She brought our drinks right at noon (Sunday), continuously checked on us and made us feel very comfortable. The manager stopped over a few times too to see how everything was going and was pleasantly friendly.
The food was delicious and came out pipping hot! The app we got was the Zucchini and Eggplant Chips — SO SCRUMPTIOUS! The poached eggs were cooked to perfection and the drinks were splendid!
Best tip about this place: Large portions! for everything, even the sides that come with the entrees are huge portions.

My dad and I went here one night and one of the best Mediterranean places I have ever been to. All the ingredients were so fresh and prepared wonderfully. I am definitely looking forward to my next visit here. A little pricey but the quality is on par with the price.
We started with the Roasted Red Pepper ‘Htipiti’: barrel-​aged feta, chili pepper, arbequina olive oil. Awesome spread to begin the meal.
Then we split the LAMB ‘Youvetsi Me Manestra’ slow braised lamb shank,
tomato shallot orzo, mizithra cheese.
And the PAN ROASTED CORVINA greek risotto cake, grilled ratatouille vegetables, aged balsamic. Hard to say which one was better both blasting with flavor the lamb was so tender and the corvina was moist.
Next time you’re in the mood for some Mediterranean can’t go wrong here.

This place is a great dinner spot for south Charlotte without driving towards the city. They have quite a large menu with choices from traditional Greek dishes to other dishes with Greek touches (pizzas, pastas). I had one of the pasta dishes which tasted great and everyone else in my group wanted to try.
The décor of the place is very stylish. Rustic but very classy and updated. Think Restoration Hardware. Great setting to have cocktails, which were very well made also.
The one tough part is parking. The lot fills up very quickly at dinner time and we had to park by Harris Teeter. Consider making a reservation for peak times– the waiting area was quite crowded but we didn’t have to wait having made one.

Absolutely shocked! This place, for a strip mall, is so AWESOME! Let me tell you about my experience. We made a reso on Open Table for 7:30p. We were seated at 7:25p. The décor is very classy and yet has a rugged cabin feel to it. It is very cozy! The food was great. I tried the pork ribs, and they were good but not as good as I would have imagined. The slaw and flash fried potatoes that came with the ribs were OUT OF THIS WORLD amazing. The taste of four appetizer was WOAH, drop your iPhone AMAZING. There was smoked eggplant dip, Greek cucumber dip, hummus, and a tomato based dip with EXCELLENT pita bread.
The waitstaff were VERY knowledgeable about every aspect of the menu. There were a lot of managers zipping around making sure the guests were well taken care of. We asked for custom drinks that were not even on the menu, and they were made by the bartender to PERFECTION. The melon vodka martini we asked for was SO fresh.
The bathroom was super clean and well kept. Seating options are numerous and the almost every space was occupied by happy people enjoying their Greek food. I would definitely come here again.
Be aware that parking can be difficult, but that was the only issue I could find with my entire experience!
Happy eating.

What a swanky little place for a strip mall. Really cool décor… rustic and modern. The cocktails were pretty good… and they had a nice bar area. The food was EXCELLENT! I had the Grecian Pork Ribs with Greek Potatoes and Slaw. It was delicious. The Ribs were served piping hot and perhaps the most «fall off the bone» that I’ve ever had. What really upstaged the ribs were the Greek potatoes… they were delish.
The Lukomades (for dessert) were incredibly fresh and tasteful! Nice way to close out the meal.
The place was hopping and had a fine wait staff. One head waiter… with several people including management rolling by the table to check in and make drop offs from the bar… etc. They really took care of us without interrupting the flow of conversation at the table.
I would definitely recommend.

Yummy times ten. Great meal, great service!
I booked on Open Table and arrived to find that the place was barely a quarter filled. Nice. We were immediately seated at a table towards the back, near the very filled wine racks. Sadly, my wife and I aren’t wine drinkers but if you are then you’ll be pleased. I chose a Catawba draft instead.
The taste of four starter is the way to begin here. Scoops of hummus, tzatziki sauce, red pepper and eggplant with a nice serving of slices whole wheat pitas. Probably too much for two to start with because there was a lot there and we were «uh, what?» when our main courses arrived.
My wife chose the lobster ravioli. A very large portion with plenty to bring home, especially after we filled up on the starter. Tasty, creamy, seafoody (is «seafoody» a word?) and easy to eat. Delish.
I had the quarter chicken which was served with potatoes and other veggies. A very big portion, there was a lot of flavor and texture in here, with the perfectly al dente potatoes.
Dessert? Well, I guess we can try. We split a piece of baclava which came topped with some sort of (lightly peach-​flavored) ice cream/​yogurt. Delish.
STUFFED with a delicious meal. We’ll be back.
