We have eaten and recommended others to eat at Lido over the years. Food is always very good and the waitstaff is very friendly. That said, yesterday was our anniversary and we decided to stay local to celebrate. I checked the ‘Anniversary’ box when making our reservation. Other restaurants where we have celebrated our special occasions would bring a complimentary dessert or do something else to acknowledge our special occasions but unfortunately that was not the case last night. There was not even an acknowledgement of our anniversary from anyone. It was a bit of a disappointment honestly.

My date and I came because a friend kept talking about how great the brunch was. So we made reservations and went. The indoor seating was really packed which is always a good sign. We chose outdoor seating which I was glad for. The music was 90s rap and r&b which was cool. The brunch menu is a little limited, however some substitutions are allowed for people who are on specific diets. Bottomless mimosas are offered in addition to their drink menu, drinks are weak so keep that in mind. The food itself was very nice. I opted for the short rib hash and poached eggs with hollandaise sauce, and my date had smoked salmon and poached eggs with hollandaise. Both options were beautifully plated and tasted wonderful. I can definitely see myself returning for the food on another occasion and trying their dinner entrees.

My girlfriend and I had a great time eating dinner at Lido. Our server was super prompt and never let us wait to long for anything. Cocktails came out quickly after ordering and were delicious. We ordered starters and entrees that were timed perfectly, and I don't think we had a complaint about anything we got. All in all we had a really nice time here, only downside is that the price point is a bit steep, but nothing out of the ordinary these days.

Top notch BRUNCH! Went with a group of 4. Service was absolutely amazing. When you first enter, they are quick to greet and seat you. Our waiter Elijah was courteous and very knowledgeable about the menu items. We ordered his recommendations. Food comes out quick and hot! Quality of the food is high. We ordered bottomless mimosas with our entrees. The staff would top them up often. Its $18 with an entree. Prices are good here. They have free wifi and there is lots of paid parking in the area. Would definitely recommend this restaurant and visit again!

Had randomly found this place a month ago and had a great time there during happy hour. So wanted to go back with my partner on a date. It has a great neighborhood vibe but also a ambiance of downtown restaurants . The food was excellent. I had the chicken Milanese and some fried calamari. They have an excellent garlic parm break that you definitely need to try. A bit over priced as you get 3 small slices of bread for about 12 dollars. But you still need to try it - haha. I gave the service 3 stars as it was off from the beginning. The hostess was not to warm in welcoming which always throws me off about restaurants . I arrived on time / my partner was running a couple min behind due to traffic coming from his office. Usually because its a table of two there is no issue of being seated - even in all the restaurants i have been to downtown/midtown etc. i was coming from work so when he is late i usually just order food and a cocktail to get the food flowing but also take off the edge as i had worked all day. The hostess refused to seat me as she said she needs to seat full parties . Like i said its a table of two. Also there was no room at the bar to stand have a cocktail so i just told her that i would sit and order food as my partner will be a bit late. She refused and so I waited outside. That was off for me as I like ppl who make common sense decisions based on each situation. If it was a party of 4 or more than i would understand. The next service flaw was lack of attention from the server. We ran out of basic drinking water so many times and had to flag down the waiter to ask for more each time. I had one cocktail when I would have had 5 if the waiter ever came back and asked me if I wanted more. We both would have had more cocktails but it was to much of a chore to flag him down so we went to another bar after to make up for that. Now trust i do know that restaurants can be understaffed but this wasnt the case. We just watched our waiter chat with others.

Nice looking place and service was fine. Food was good but not great. One pasta dish was fine but the other was overcooked. Salad was OK. Wine by the glass was ok and soft drink (should be simple), ginger beer, was weird.

Lido was always *one of* my favorite restaurants, but it is now simply my favorite. One reason: CONSISTENCY - in quality of both the food and service, even during the difficult lockdown period. Also, a great mix of people, good all around vibe and the music isn’t loud.

Went here for brunch. We opted for the bottomless mimosas which was a good deal since they kept the pour coming. Food was excellent but very small portions. Had to order side of garlic bread which was also delicious but only 4 small pieces that were bite size for $12. Not enough food for the price.

We came for a friend's birthday celebration. The ambiance and food were very enjoyable. What brought the evening down was a very non-attentive, unfriendly waiter. He did absolutely nothing to add to our evening out. Very impersonable and cold. Other than him, the rest of the night was a celebration.

I've been before & really liked the brunch. Just went for dinner & felt very mediocre. Staff was fine, food was mediocre, & rats were running around on the sidewalk outside. I realize the latter is not entirely in their control but does not help the vibe when sitting outside.
