- DDaveVirginia •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoFirst time here. Came for our anniversary. Staff greeted us with "Happy Anniversary" and gave us our menus with happy anniversary written across the top. Nice touch. Our server, Christina, was friendly, attentive and had a genuinely warm personality. Certainly made us feel welcomed and special. Food was delicious, portions were satisfying. The ambience is very nice...classy without being stuffy. Definitely a "special night out" place, as prices were a lot higher than most restaurants in town...but definitely will be going back.More infoIllyria Mediterranean Restaurant$$$$• Mediterranean• Harrisonburg•4.8
- AAmyNew York City •3 reviews5.0Dined on May 23, 2026We had a lovely dinner with fast and friendly service. The food was excellent. We had the deviled eggs, Brussel sprouts, mussels and salmon tartine with a nice Pinot. We went early on a foggy day, so no view or outdoor seating. Would like to try a sunset seating in the future.More infoRidge Room$$$$• Contemporary American• Harrisonburg•4.6
