    We love Lilac. It’s the most pleasant place in town for breakfast. Food is delicious and beautifully presented. Love the salad side (instead of potatoes, ugh), fun having one’s own pot of coffee or tea water. The early morning hostess is gracious, and our server Juan was tremendous. Bravo, Lilac!

  • Took my boyfriend here for his birthday and he said it was the best gluten free restaurant I've ever taken him to! I'm celiac and having a safe kitchen is so amazing, highly recommend! Great food, atmosphere and staff.
