About this venue

The restaurant / venue is named after my mom, Ila, who embodies everything about hospitality and warmth. Our location is beautifully decorated with a large, full service bar, exceptionally comfortable seating, exposed brick, and a space for DJ and dance floor. It is perfect for smaller weddings (100 or less people) or for larger welcome parties. As owner, I will be on site to ensure you have the best experience. Our food and service has given us a 4.9 star rating on Google and Yelp. We will work with you to make your perfect day(s) to life! No request is too small or big!

  • A Five-Star Event Experience at ILA’s

    As the CEO & Founder of Socialite Media, I’m incredibly particular about the venues we choose to represent our brand and host our clients—and ILA’s exceeded every expectation. The space itself is absolutely stunning: warm, elevated, and thoughtfully designed, creating the perfect backdrop for an intimate yet impactful client appreciation event. From start to finish, working with the management and staff was seamless. Communication was clear, professional, and genuinely collaborative, which made planning and execution effortless on our end. On event day, the service was impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and truly hospitality-driven. Our guests are still raving about the experience, especially the light bites and cocktails, which were both beautifully presented and delicious. It’s always a win when the feedback after an event is just as strong as the vision going into it—and ILA’s delivered on all fronts. We can’t wait to host future events here and highly recommend ILA’s to anyone looking for an elevated, memorable experience!
