    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.

    A group of us meet yearly. Local Chop is a highlight every year. We have yet to have a mediocre meal there. They are so accommodating and resourceful. One of our group members said ‘just put OMG OMG OMG SO GOOD.” Stellar meals, lovely ambiance, incredible service.

    Excellent service, great food and cocktails. Only negative thing is the noise level, was a little hard to hear conversation but it didn't interfere too much with enjoying our dinner. Overall great experience, will go again next time we're in Harrisonburg.
