    Menus, food and service are always amazing. Shane specifically is the epitome of hospitality. Friendly, knowledgable about the menus and allergies which really matters and always so attentive. Highly recommend Lilas, without doubt one of the best restaurants on Main Street.

    We enjoy Lila frequently and their level of consistent high quality is great. Even though it was very busy, the service was still fast and friendly. They should change their menu more frequently.

    The food was really good. My wife, who is vegan and gluten free, loved the pasta. I had the buffalo burger which also was very good. Our waitress Mina was so friendly and engaging.

    Both meals were fabulous. Took a while to get our entrees...they were not busy. A bit pricey. Ordered their kale caesar salad added a 3 oz salmon which was pretty pricey for a tiny serving.

    Wonderful experience. Been meaning to come here for quite some time and so glad we finally made it. Our server was awesome, wish I could remember his name, but it was the perfect service. Food was excellent, we wanted to order everything, but will just have to settle on coming back again and again. Order dessert also! We had four of them :)
