ello, and welcome to Spring! It’s supposed to be over 60°F today (May 2) so we are more hopeful about warmer weather than the last time we wrote. We’re making plans to open our outdoor patio so be sure to watch our Facebook page for that announcement. Please remember that outdoor seating is available on a first-come, firstserved basis so get here early when the weather warms up! Meanwhile, our Kitchen Team has been hard at work on some new menu items for the warmer weather and we anticipate rolling them out on Friday, May 9. One item we are excited to offer is Lilly’s fresh ziti. It will be available as a pasta choice and is also now featured in a few dishes. New additions to the menu will be: Brick Oven Ziti – Fresh ziti, pesto cream sauce, grilled chicken, roasted tomatoes & Fontina cheese

What They Say Just love this place. Good food, fairly priced, fine service every time. Yes, many of the menu items are a bit heavy - but oh so good! Treat yourself, and don’t be afraid to bring a crowd, they can handle it.
