   First timer and was very pleased with the whole experience. Particularly the Sea Bass entree and triple choc dessert. I’ll be back!

   We were at Lia’s for our daughter’s graduation from her master’s program. We came in from Boston, and other family arrived from California and Florida. We were all very pleased with the offerings from the menu and thought the food was prepared quite well. Oh! That bread! Wow! The waitstaff were lovely, efficient and hard working. The experience overall was an excellent one and as our daughter now lives in Bethesda, we will return to Lia’s again and again. We are also big fans of Chef Geoff’s in D.C.!

   A wonderful experience. Our waiter was terrific. The sea bass with carrot purse and fennel was delicious - as was dessert. And it was nice and quiet outdoors.

   Great restaurant. Unfortunately we had bad service, but that is unusual for this restaurant

   Lia’s never disappoints. Food was delicious and they know how to handle large parties with ease. They were cautious and impeccable when considering allergies for a few of our guests.

   Our 10th yr for Mother’s Day brunch. This year’s menu very limited and for those who don’t like kale not good at all.
   

   LIA'SResponded on May 14, 2025

   Dear Sheila, Thank you for joining us once again for our Mother’s Day brunch — we’re truly honored to have welcomed you for the past ten years. Your continued support means a great deal to us. We’re very sorry to hear that this year’s menu did not meet your expectations. We understand how important variety is, especially on such a special occasion, and we regret that the offerings felt limited, particularly for those who aren’t fond of kale. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, and we’ll be sure to take it into account as we plan future events. Our goal is always to create a memorable and enjoyable experience for every guest, and your comments help us improve. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back and provide a more satisfying experience next time.

    Lovely new server Elizabeth and her mentor did a great job helping us celebrate two new AU graduates (one a Cheff Geoff alum). Love Lia’s stepped up presentations for brunch and Mother’s day.
