    If you manage to dine for dinner on the early side before 6:30 pm, any day of the week, ask about the twilight special: appetizer, entree and dessert for $23.95. Amazing value. Great, tasty choices.

    Nice Italian w/gourmet kids menu. Many good choices for adults. Bacon Bar specials on Wed./Thurs. nights, incl. chilled tomato soup w/bacon, fried tomato sliders w/ bacon. Eat al fresco in the summer.

    If you love a good burger and can’t eat wheat the Lia’s burger with gluten free bun is incredibly good.

    The Ricotta Donuts were amazing, wish I hadn't stuffed myself with the spaghetti before hand. Order dessert first, this way you can savor every one of those heavenly bites. ;)

    The branzino is delicious. Crispy skin with light flaky fish. The orange and beet salad are also great.

    You can't go wrong with Lias, I've never had a bad meal. I prefer sitting on the bar side where you can order the full menu, plus awesome happy hour prices.

    Must drink: Uncle Arnold cocktail. Good but dangerous! To eat: scallops with risotto. Sublime. And the tiramisu is great, not the run of the mill.

    The Bitches Say: B. Lia's brunch is above average with excellent service, a few key dishes, and unbelievable doughnuts. Unfortunately, the musty smell was off putting and some dishes were bland.
