This place was incredibly warm and opening. We had just opened our show with Big Noise Theatre and had been turned away by another bar for generally no reason. The bartenders at Illusion were accepting, efficient and incredibly nice. I believe this is a spot that is slept on. I know our cast will be back, so you should give them a shot too!

A little bit off the beaten path but the food is fantastic. The staff is top notch, the food is made in house fresh, and the atmosphere is friendly. Definitely give it a try, you'll love it.
