Strawberry Fields Forever (at Lutz Family Farm)

We've been enjoying Wisconsin Strawberries and since most of the farms are harvesting the last of their berries in this unusually early and warm berry season, we thought we would have a last hurrah strawberry tasting menu.

First Course

Wisconsin Strawberry salad with fresh arugula and sherry vinaigrette with toasted pecans and feta

Second Course

Strawberry and chipotle glazed baby back ribs with fresh herb gratinee and glazed carrot

Third Course

Trio of strawberries. Strawberry mousse, chocolate covered strawberry, and mini strawberry shortbread

Come eat these actual strawberries, picked by Liliana on Monday night for Tuesdays menu

Watch for Lutz Family Farm again when we come back for some amazing sweet corn later this summer.

Fathers Day Fun

Father's Day

This year, do something really special and bring him to Liliana's for a truly memorable time.

We'll be offering a great special all weekend (Fri - Sun evenings):

• Full rack of Barbecued Pork Ribs - $26

• Half rack of Barbecued Pork Ribs - $19

• Black Angus Rib Eye - $26

All are served with a sweet corn succotash and a twice-baked potato stuffed with Nueske's bacon and Hook's 10-year cheddar.

We've also got a free tap beer just waiting for Dad.

And here is what Liliana is most excited about!

Sing-Along:

For a very special treat, on Father's Day evening we'll be having a campfire sing-along out on the patio (if it's not raining), and will be fixing S'Mores and other treats, starting around 5:30 and singing until 8:30 or so.

We'll provide the guitar player (Cliff Frederiksen) and the words to the songs, and you just have to sit around the fire and sing along.

Let us know your favorite campfire song, and we'll make sure we include it. It'll be an old fashioned Father's Day evening!

As always- reservations are recommended
