    Lunch or dinner at Lia’s offers an amazing blend of natural foods with culinary brilliance. We had a relatively simple meal in which every course was perfect.

    Nice "ladies lunch." Appreciated the patience of the staff with late arrivals and limited appetites. The octopus starter was delicious. Hadn't been to Lia's for a while and it was nice to come back and know it is still a great place. Will be back soon.

    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.

    Dear Deborah, thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback for us, we really appreciate it! Unfortunately, we were not told about the construction happening on the building next door. The parking garage entrance on Friendship Boulevard was open, and the exit on Hills Plaza was open. Our staff was prepared to give directions over the phone, but we do not have the ability to add information to the website so short notice/on site. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Hopefully the construction period has passed - the next door building had missing railing on their roof and I believe that was what they had fixed. We look forward to smooth sailing ahead! We are delighted to know you had a good time with us, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

    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.

    Dear Susan, thank you so much for taking the time to respond to the email Teresa sent! We are very appreciative that you will give us another chance. We look forward to seeing you both!

    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!!!
