We love the food and our family friends with kids met up last night for dinner at 6:30 pm. We left at 8:15. That was problem. Good service at start slacked off and huge delay between ordering & food delivery plus 2 specials came later than rest of meals. Hmmm. Food is good but need more coverage and checking in on table.
LIA'SResponded 2 days ago
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the food and appreciate you sharing your experience. We apologize for the delays and inconsistent service during your visit. Your comments about better table coverage and timing are important, and we’ll address them with our team to improve. We hope to provide a smoother experience next time.

Food is ok, but not great. Service is usually good, but it takes a long time for the food to arrive (not the server's fault).
LIA'SResponded 6 days ago
Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it! We understand the wait time on your last visit was longer than expected. One of the dishes you ordered was a new item on our menu, and that may have contributed to the delay as our kitchen team is still adjusting. We're working hard to improve and hope to serve you more efficiently next time!

Our server, Sebastian, was outstanding in every way. We sat in the bar for the evening and he was very attentive and caring. We thought the pizza was great, but didn’t care as much for the pasta although that was recommended in the reviews. The brussel sprouts were wonderful and very unusual. Most items on the menu were very different.
LIA'SResponded 6 days ago
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! We're so glad to hear Sebastian took great care of you and that you enjoyed the pizza and brussels sprouts. We appreciate your comments on the pasta and unique menu items—they help us continue to improve. Hope to see you again soon!

I’ve been coming to Lia’s since it opened. This is the worst service I’ve ever experienced. All the servers appeared angry and surly. Our server was perfunctory at best. He was never around - never paid any attention. If this was my first visit, it would have been my last.
LIA'SResponded on May 31, 2025
Thank you for your honest feedback. I’m very sorry to hear about the lack of attention you experienced from our team. That is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide. I appreciate you sharing this with us, even though it was difficult. Please know that your comments will be addressed with the entire staff to ensure this does not happen again. As a small token of our apology, I would like to email you a $30 gift card, if that is all right? We truly value your patronage and hope you’ll give us another chance to provide you with the excellent experience Lia’s is known for. If there’s anything I can do personally to make this right, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
