After seven years living in Charlotte and always looking for a place that cooks what they say is their specialty, again, the same problem that I've encountered in many other restaurants here in Charlotte, Ilios Noche lived to my personal observation, neither Greek nor Italian, from the appetizer Saganaki, -C, salad $7.50 very small and underdressed, then the entrees came, preparation and visual failed miserably, my husband ordered Moussaka, it was served cold, what a mess, the only thing Greek in that dish was the spelling, I made the mistake in ordering the Greek style pork ribs, wow, the seasoning was so minimal, no enough salt and pepper and a few oregano leaves, it should have been marinated in lemon, olive oil, plenty of garlic and oregano with grated Roma tomatoes and grilled and smothered with in their juice, served on a bed of rice/potatoes and roasted vegetables, no that thing they served me, the portion was enormous, who eat that much meat. I took it home, I have a dog that loves meat and not as informed in world cuisine. In our way home I stopped in a store for while and when I got back to car the smell was so bad that I thought not even my dog was going to eat it, I was wrong, he is a dog and he ate it, I guess that was the only complimentary critique of this meal, and what I don't understand is, why don't they have salt and pepper shakers on the table, believe me, it may help, then, have their chefs travel, all expenses paid, to Greece for cooking lessons, and then, maybe then, they will deserve to get paid for what they are serving, just saying.....one star for ambience.
