    Most of the food was very good, but generally over priced, especially the salads. The BBQ tempeh was not particularly exciting, and I would not recommend it.

    Plant based creativity can be great - such as Fancy Radish or Rasika - but this was simply dreadful cooking. The crab cake sandwich and grilled cheese sandwich, both expensive, lacked flavor and ingredients except for salt and too much spice. The service was well intentioned but amateurish and spotty. I dragged my wife and two friends to this lackluster experience. If your goal is plant based, do Thai or Indian - not this.

    This was a great experience! I’ve been looking for a plant based restaurant with bomb food that ALSO has a Nice ambience & LIORA is definitely that place. We ordered so much food including: Crab cakes Tacos Maryland soup Caesar salad Risotto Lasagna Fingerling Cheesecake Chocolate caramel crunch Baked beans Soy glazed carrots Everything was amazing except the raw lasagna & baked beans which were “just okay” in my opinion. ALL IN ALL this was a great experience & the setting is beautiful, slightly dem lighting , greenery everywhere, beautiful arrangements for the decor & the drinks are great too!

    Liora was very beautiful, with a clean atmosphere and love plants all around! The staff were all friendly and welcoming. The food was very good and was healthy while tasting very flavorful. Loved that the menu was all plant-based and they had a nice selection of non-alcoholic beverages! They did a great job calling out our special event (birthday) and even through in a free birthday dessert! Would definitely recommend and will return!

    Liora was great! It seems like all fine (or even fine-ish) dining is very meat-heavy, so finding a place at which I could pick anything fancy off the menu and eat it without concern was great. Not a lot of people were there (on a Thursday evening) so it was pretty quiet, service was excellent (attentive, friendly, knowledgable), food was absolutely stellar. A great way to celebrate an occasion!

    Service was a bit slow, people did not take away dirty plates or glasses. We had to ask numerous times to do so, or even ask where our order was. At the end we had to cancel our dessert as it took way too long while there was almost nobody in the restaurant. Food was excellent. Music a bit loud, but Liora is certainly one of the best vegan restaurants we have ever been to. Worthwhile for meat eaters too, it is a journey of discovery and you won't be disappointed.

    Mother's day brunch special was delicious. If you see strawberry crepes on the menu, make sure to order it. My crab cake sandwich was huge and yummy. It's a twist on the Maryland crab cake so stay open-minded.

    We are so happy Liora has opened in Baltimore. The food is very flavorful, creative, and good for the body, soul, and planet. The service was just right- efficient, attentive and informative. The space is beautiful, and a whole wall of plants lets you know that you are in a healthy, alive space. If you didn't go there because it's vegan, you might not notice it's vegan! It's not trying too hard to substitute for traditional animal products, dishes do not use replacement foods, and the food is really tasty with a lot of flavor. The menu includes diverse types of dishes, everything from barbacoa tacos to green curry to risotto. The salads were sizeable and fresh, with subtle fresh herbs and just the right amount of dressing. The cocktails were well conceived and just as well executed. We had a lovely time, and an excellent meal. I highly recommend Liora and hope to return there ASAP. The deserts also were delicious, flavorful, and creative.

    I've been to Liora 3 times. The first was excellent, the second good, this time... just okay. I found the greens to be very over salted, the grits to not really look or taste like grits and the rest to just be okay. I was also disappointed that I did brunch on Easter and there wasn't a special menu. But the cocktails were still fabulous. I'm not sure I'll be back anytime soon I'm sad to say.
