TLDR- Reviews seemed good so took a chance. Disappointing first time experience with this…read morerestaurant. I cannot speak to the atmosphere as this is based on a delivery order, but I did speak to someone on the phone who was kind and seemingly attentive, but ultimately I don't think was paying attention and was just agreeing to anything to ultimately get me to place the order? Order arrived incorrectly prepared, missing entree inclusions and wrong beverages. This order was placed at 3PM ish in the afternoon, so I am not sure why items were unavailable. Felt dishonest and was a poor reflection on the restaurant's integrity. Called to ask for recommendations and asked for jerk sauce on jerk chicken. Ordered on Aug.5th and spent $65 dollars on oxtail, escovitch fish and jerk chicken meals plus 2 mild beef patties, coco bread and 3 beverages. I also ordered mac pie, but was refunded since they didn't have it. ALLLLL entrees were missing steamed cabbage and only 1 entree had a sole piece of plantain. Oxtail needed to be cooked a bit longer as pieces were inconsistently tenderized, 'escovitch' fish was just soggy fried fish with no peppers or onions to be found and although decently spiced jerk chicken was dry...like the rice in all the entrees because there was also no gravy present. The only thing that came correctly were the patties and coco bread I didn't really sign up to eat pounds of dry rice and peas. Don't send food out like this.

I had seafood soup, rice, some kind of beef thing, and a flan. The soup had a little bit of spice heat, not too much. Very rich broth. If there were any menus or prices or anything in the restaurant I couldn't find them, but it's all good. It's a little pricey for a guy from Mississippi but probably priced about right for New York City.

The location is all to go so when I got home I started trying the food. The chicken was very chewy like old chicken when is dried up, it tasted more like bbq chicken . They do give 2 pieces of chicken plantains rice and salad. the rice, salad and plantains were just ok. chicken I was so disappointed of the taste and hard and chewy meat, the ox tail patties were also just ok not really popping on flavor flavor. its a Shame of the old chicken.

The atmosphere is bare bones. We ordered two oxtail lunch plates. The flavor was really good! The moro is standard moro, rice with black beans mixed in. Moro was moist and not dry. Both plates were huge. We got the lunch special for $9 per plate. What a bargain! Oxtail is usually expensive but the lunch price is extremely fair for the portion we got. Two lunches can feed 4-5 people. I guess it depends on their appetite too. If you split it with other there will be plenty of rice but the meat may not be enough but that is normal anywhere. The lady was pretty nice to me but I understand the food and what it is from sight. I love Dominican food. If you are not familiar with Dominican food, communication might be a problema.

This was my second time visiting Iliana's Bar & Lounge, and I definitely plan on going back again…read more From the moment I walked in, I was impressed. The establishment is beautiful -- great décor, nice music, and a stunning bar setup. The food presentation was amazing, and everything looked just as good as it tasted. The mango colada is a MUST -- absolutely amazing. Our waitress was very nice and attentive, and what really stood out was that the owner personally came out to greet us. She was very welcoming, and we had a great conversation about culture, which made the experience feel even more special and authentic. The only minor thing -- it gets a little chilly when the door opens but that's small compared to the overall experience. It's located in College Point, which isn't exactly a prime location and parking can be limited, but honestly it's worth the trip. I just wish Iliana's was closer to me so I could go more often. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone who isn't familiar with Haitian food or wants a great atmosphere, good vibes, and quality service.

It is located in college point, which to be quite frank isn't convenient for me personally, but I would make the trek if need be because it really is good and the hospitality can't be beat. I got to meet the owner Mary and her relative Maria who are both so sweet and down to earth- in simplest terms, good vibes only. For cocktails, I got 2 Bees Knees & they were strong & tasty, what's not to love? For food, I got the crab cakes & the boulet & johnny cakes. If I had to pick a favorite, it would easily be the crab cakes but both were tasty. Also, the decor of this place is so cute & unique. If I ever needed to host an event, I would come here. All in all, I wish Mary the best success as she's a great person & has a lovely establishment. If you ever find yourself in the area, do stop by- you won't be disappointed.
