Straight from the kitchen of “Grandma Lily,”
Lily’s offers a stunning interior, friendly service and a dedication to
homemade food. Even the beverage menu includes house-brewed beer and root beer
for the kids. Both entrees and desserts are delights of flavor and texture.
Saturdays and Sundays cater to a “build your own Bloody Mary bar,” and Tuesday
is “create your own combo” night. Mitchell’s has variety: With more than 80
seafood choices, menus are printed twice a day to reflect changes in
availability. Summer is the season for soft-shell crab as well as an Alaskan
halibut, though there’s a short window in early summer when high-quality Copper
River salmon from British Columbia will be on offer. Outdoor dining is a draw,
as is Monday oyster night.</p
