   I have been eating at Lia’s for fifteen years or more and last night was the first time my meal was mediocre, not bad, just mediocre. And two of the other three people I dined with felt the same.

   Big variety of food for brunch -- we ordered the Tuscan frittata, avocado toast, and lamb burger. All were quite good, delivered at the appropriate temperature and in large portions. Service was excellent. Not intrusive, but server stopped by several times to make sure all was good. A friendly, nice, reliable restaurant.

   The restaurant is very understaffed. Maybe since there was an office party in the bar, but it took over 25 minutes after we were seated to get someone to come to our table. We didn’t have water, drinks etc. The waitress took the table next to us order and they had just sat down. Maybe lack of communication? Food was good but we won’t be back.

   As usual, Lia's food was very good--you can count on them to do a great job. The seating and surroundings in the "back room" were great and not too noisy which we greatly appreciated. And John, our server, was absolutely TERRIFIC. He did everything perfectly and the whole table of 5 agreed he had done a great job. Thanks John!!!

   Lia's continues to be a consistently good meal. The restaurant was quite noisy for a Tuersday night but we all enjoyed.

   Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback regarding your visit! We really appreciate your support and are very lucky to have such wonderful regular guests. Our Tuesday $12 burgers for rewards members certainly does draw a large crowd, which is great for us but can be a bit noisier than normal. We will always do our best to accommodate requests such as quiet locations to the best of our abilities, however. We look forward to your next visit!

    We are still talking about it— it was that good from the opening fried calamari to the Tiramisu dessert and everything in between. My guests just texted saying one had just reheated yesterday’s doggie-bagged half of her enormous, perfectly cooked Chef Geoff Angus hamburger. Beef is a rarely self-permitted treat; but, as they said when they allow themselves it has to be at Lia’s from here out. The opening drinks were a martini and a dry white house wine. A diplomat who had lived all over the world, he noted the only place he’d had a martini that good (quality and strong) was in Hong Kong. The house white was not only a bargain but excellent. The beautifully presented seasonal salad entree was crisp, colorful and clearly specially sourced. Wait to you get your first glimpse of the Tiramisu- clearly defined multiple layers and huge. The table became quiet but for intermittent sounds of sheer enjoyment. The service was professional, quick and yet warm and friendly as you’d expect from a neighborhood gem. I actually carefully went over the bill it was so reasonable thinking they have left things out. Not usually this effusive— this review is so good I almost feel I must say I have no financial interest in the enterprise and no one in my family works there. It was that good! Enjoy.
