Restaurant Review: ‘New Nordic’ Isn’t New, but ILIS Adds a Fresh Spin
Mads Refslund’s creative ideas at this Brooklyn restaurant can be dreamily seductive, even if the execution isn’t always as compelling. The most talked-about dish at ILIS, the cavernous Brooklyn restaurant opened by the Danish-born chef Mads Refslund in October, has to be the clam flask. This is a drinking vessel made by opening a surf…
