Illusions is the place to go whenever you want to have a snack, a full meal, or a special cocktail; indoors or on their patio! Don’t know if I can choose one special item but every item I have chosen become my favorite! You have to come for Sunday brunch too, the prices are INCREDIBLE (love that candied bacon)! I could go on…..❤️❤️
