Creative dishes well-executed using local and select ingredients, very attentive service, great beverage choices including house-made hazelnut liqueur. Golden tilefish over Parisian gnocchi and broccoli, strawberry peppercorn cheesecake. One of the best reasons to go out, to eat dishes you would not make yourself. Continues to be the best restaurant in the valley.

We enjoyed this unique new dining venue during our visit from Lexington to Harrisonburg. The staff made us feel welcome and provided outstanding service, even explaining the naming of the restaurant for their home area in the Balkan region of Eastern Europe. Both of our entrees were wonderful. They have seating for several large groups as well as for private dining by a couple like us. For anyone seeking Mediterranean cuisine, we recommend you try Illyria.

The service and food were very good. We were underwhelmed by the atmosphere, and to be fair it could have just been our misplaced expectations. It's essentially a bar with some tables. If that's what you're looking for you'll have a nice time.
