Our table for 11 was a little cramped and the server was new so service was a little uneven. The lighting in the restaurant was a bit dark, especially for a weekend brunch. Food however was quite delicious and portions generous. Would love some more choices for the wine list.

Lia’s is a good restaurant, but I’d rather dine without dogs.
LIA'SResponded 5 days ago
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear you enjoyed your experience at Lia’s. We do allow dogs on our outdoor patio, while only service animals are permitted inside the restaurant in accordance with ADA guidelines. That said, we completely understand that not all guests are comfortable dining near dogs, and we’re more than happy to accommodate seating preferences. Please don’t hesitate to let us know in advance or when you arrive, and we’ll do our best to seat you away from any pets. We hope to welcome you back soon!

As always great selection of entrees and our service was outstanding even though it was quite busy. I am always impressed with the excellent service every time we dine there. If you have not eaten at Lia's, I would encourage you to give it a try. Also save room for dessert, the donuts are the absolute best!

Celebrated a friend’s milestone birthday and it was a lovely evening. Please bring back the risotto balls - it was the best appetizer!
LIA'SResponded on July 10, 2025
Thank you so much for celebrating such a special occasion with us! We're so glad to hear you had a lovely evening. And great news—we are bringing back the risotto balls! In fact, we're currently running a special on our Smoked Mozzarella Risotto Balls through the end of July as we test them out for a possible return to the Fall menu. We’d love for you to stop by and enjoy them again while they're here!
