    Steamed oysters

    The food was absolutely amazing and delicious! I got the crab cakes and my husband got the surf and turf. Great cocktails too! The view was great to by the river. They also have an area for kids to play. We will definitely go back here!

    We visited this restaurant while on vacation with a party of six. Since it was a busy Saturday night, we expected a long wait--but to our surprise, they got us seated fairly quickly. From start to finish, the customer service was top-notch. The hostess greeted us with a warm welcome, and our server was incredibly attentive--making sure our drinks stayed full and our table was well taken care of. We kicked things off with a few cocktails. Most were delicious, but the margarita didn't quite hit the mark for me--it tasted like it was made with a standard bottled mixer. Nothing terrible, just not special. The rest of the drinks, however, were a hit at the table. As for the food--wow! We ordered a variety, including crab legs, crab cakes, steak, fried catfish, oysters, and gator tail. For appetizers, the oysters and gator tail were fantastic--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I had the fried catfish with collard greens and grits. The catfish was spot-on--crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside, with a batter that was perfectly seasoned. The grits were good--maybe not as creamy as I prefer, but still tasty. Now for the collard greens: they were vinegar-based, which the server kindly warned me about. I do enjoy vinegar, but these were very heavy on it--to the point where it had that strong bite and burn in the back of your throat. So, not my favorite. If you're a vinegar-lover, you might really enjoy them, but they weren't for me. Everyone else at the table had zero complaints. The crab legs were a hit, the steak was cooked perfectly, and the crab cakes were well-seasoned and fresh. Honestly, everything was high quality--it just came down to personal preference when it came to flavors. If you're in the area, this place is definitely worth a try. Great food, excellent service, and a solid variety to please everyone in your group.

    My absolute favorite feature of Creekside is that it literally is creekside! I loved sitting outside along the creek while we waited for our food. Their garden salad is huge and delicious, with homemade dressing. I just ordered a side of grilled shrimp to go with it and was stuffed. This was a great place to stop on our way to the Smokies.

    Had a nice cold Red Stripe beer.

    Servers were very nice and attentive. Nice location along the creek. Fried mushrooms were very good. 3 of the 4 of us had the Po Boy sandwich. Two were fried shrimp and one was the catfish. They were tasty and the bread was fresh. The remoulade sauce for the shrimp Po boy was very flavorful. The fries were good, but the side of cheese grits were not great. Kind of boring and lacked flavor. One of us ordered oysters Rockefeller. You get 6 for $18. They were so small. Super tiny oysters. That was disappointing. I feel that with them being so dang small, they should give you more or reduce the cost. We will return but would not get the oysters Rockefeller again. Had a nice cold red stripe beer.

    Oysters!

    Nice place alongside a creek. Inside ambiance is just ok, but the food was very good. We had a dozen oysters and then each had a salad topped with grilled trout which was excellent. Clearly a family run business as we were shown to our table by an adorable little girl who smiled so brightly when we thanked her. Give this place some love and go visit!

    We arrived on a Thursday afternoon in July around 1:00 PM. There is plenty of parking. They were busy but no overly so. We were greeted after a few minutes and taken to a table. We wanted to sit outside to hear the creek but it was so humid and rainy we decided against it. Service was good and plates were picked up as needed. We tasted a couple of tap beers and decided on the Founder's IPA. It was very good. We ordered the Crab Cake BLT and a bowl of the soup of the day which was Crab and Corn. The soup was just thick enough with plenty of corn. It was very tasty even though it didn't have much crab flavor. The Crab Cake BLT was disappointing. It didn't taste like crab meat at all. The accompanying french fries were ok but some were pretty lifeless. Our friend ordered the fried oysters which he said were good. We don't live here but our friend visits often. He particularly enjoys anything with oysters.

    When the weather is nice getting a table by the creek is lovely. The food is exceptional all around.

    This is my second time here. Menu varies throughout the year and always very interesting items. My…read moreonly complaint is the serving sizes. For example, I love the meatball over polenta appetizer but there is such a small amount of polenta. And for the price, it would be nice to be have a little more pasta served with the entrees. I've never gotten a doggie bag here because the portions are small and after spending over $100 for 2, it would be nice to have a little bit of leftovers. That said, food is delicious and obviously all homemade. Cocktail selection is very unique, hip and good. Service is excellent and the servers really know their stuff! Service

    This was my first time at Ilda and it was really good! We started with the grilled caesar salad…read morewhich was my favorite thing! We also tried the mussels, mushroom fettuccine and a rabbit dish that I'm totally forgetting the name of. The rabbit dish was amazing but it had too much salt. The mushroom fettuccine on the other hand was lacking something, it didn't have that umami flavor to it. However, both were really good selections and you could tell that the pasta was handmade. As for the mussels they were good, but I probably wouldn't order them again. Our server was wonderful and the inside of Ilda is super cute! I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends, but I think you need to make a reservation in advance. Also - give yourself some time to find parking ahead of time - they don't have a designated lot.

    Honestly this might be my new favorite spot in Sylva, North Carolina! I had not been to forger…read morecanteen since I've changed to the new location so I was a little nervous going in that maybe the quality of food or even the menu had changed, but I was very pleasantly surprised to learn that all of it was just as good as I remembered if not better! We stopped by to get some food before we headed out to come back home and so I had to be strategic in what I wanted because I didn't want to be too tired for our 8 hour drive. We started with the Cheesy Prosciutto Croquettes which were absolutely phenomenal! I really loved them and would definitely recommend them, in fact I liked the Croquettes better than I liked the Fried Deviled Eggs. For my entrée, I decided to go with tacos, but I couldn't decide which ones so luckily my mom was nice enough to get one of the options I wanted and I got the other option and then we swapped one of each taco. We got the Street Corn taco and the Sweet Fire BLT taco both were very good but in my opinion the Street Corn taco was better! Mike decided to go a different approach than I did and instead of ordering something that maybe wouldn't fill him up, he decided to order the shrimp and grits and then proceeded to eat all of it. Needless to say, I drove us home and Mike was very full, but also very happy with his choice. All around I don't think there was a single bad choice made, and I'm not totally sure there's a bad choice on the menu.

    Date Night- eggplant fries, so crispy! Asked for different dipping sauce, tomato jam is too sweet…read morebetter with ranch( homemade). Fish and chips with homemade tartar sauce - good stuff! Fish was really good but fries are generic, hand cut fries would be much better. Not the best coleslaw but interesting with pieces of apple in it. Our favorite part was our amazing waitress, Eliza.
