    This was my first time here. It was a great place! We celebrated my sisters birthday and we couldn’t have asked for better service. We tried several different dishes and each one was great! We will definitely return.

    This is restaurant week, and it was a great deal. We did lunch. Quite enjoyable and we visited for hours without pressure to leave. Our waiter was courteous and friendly and not overly present, just right 👌. Always a delightful experience with the staff, the ambiance and of course, the food.

    The beet "tartar" really upset my digestive system. What was in it?

    My clumsy fingers have somehow erased my previous detailed song of praise. Sorry, but I have to be quicker this time. Morgan was our server and we had many questions and discussions - we could not throw her. Everything she recommended after listening to us EXCEEDED expectations. (We stayed so long her break came before dessert so her manager kindly stepped in and recommended a dessert I would normally not have considered - SO good!). We felt lucky to get to sit in a quiet but jolly atmosphere and catch up and laugh. Looking forward to next time!!!

    Dear Sally, thank you so much for your kind words! We really appreciate you taking the time to write everything all out again! We will certainly pass along your compliment to Morgan and are delighted to hear that everything went so well with your visit. We look forward to seeing you both again soon!

    We have been dining at Lia's for at least 10 years, probably more, and have always been very pleased. Unfortunately, yesterday's experience was fair at best.

    We were celebrating my wife’s birthday. We were greeted with “Happy Birthday (wife’s name) written on a blackboard in the reception area. We had requested a quiet table when we booked and we were thoughtfully accommodated. The food was excellent and the service was very friendly and attentive. All in all, it was a great evening.
