Both my husband and my chicken was so severely overcooked and dry that they were inedible. By the time we got it resolved both my kids had finished eating and we didn’t feel like waiting around to eat our dinner. It ruined the overall outing. It made it especially unfortunate since we were celebrating my daughter’s 13th birthday and decided not to stick around for her dessert.
LIA'SResponded 1 day ago
Thank you for your feedback, and I’m truly sorry we let you down—especially on such a special occasion. Your daughter’s birthday should have been a joyful celebration, and I regret that the food and timing fell short. We’d love the chance to make it up to you with a $50 gift card. If you're open to giving us another try, I’d be happy to help arrange your visit to ensure a much better experience. Please let me know the best way to send the card, and again, our sincere apologies.

were waiting 30 minutes for dessert. We had to flag down another person and ask. They then brought the desserts and just said “sorry it took so long” then left. My husband had to bring out that it was an extremely long wait and then they comped two desserts. Felt like we had to really bring up the issue more than we should have. Other restaurants would have offered some assistance right away with the long wait.

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 4 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 on June 8, 2025
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 on June 8, 2025
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!
