There were multiple items on the menu that I was interested in trying. I decided on the baked branzino with saffron rice and eggplant/okra stew. My wife had the veal shank osso bucco with garlic whipped potatoes and grilled asparagus. Both entrees were absolutely fabulous! Our server, Annalisa, was friendly and attentive. We will definitely dine at Illyria again. Almost forgot, the old fashioned cocktail can be smoked upon request. Highly recommend bourbon drinkers try one.
