Lidia's Restaurant   

good decor - OK food bad service - 1> server splashed water 2> long wait between soup and main dish 3> no farewell

I'm guessing by the bad reviews that we are just lucky! We almost always get the same waiter and he's great and I see so many familiar faces every time that it seems turnover isn't a problem. I love almost every one of the pasta offerings I've tried. I HIGHLY reccommend the caesar salad as well! They also serve cool breads with flavored butters.

A member of our family had their wedding rehersal dinner at Lidia's last night. Many of of us had never eaten there so we decided to check out the reviews here. After reading the reviews we were not that excited about going there for dinner at all. So basically we all were going there with a negative outlook. When we showed up we were greeted by kind staff who directed us upstairs to the 2nd floor dining area. The room was amazing. Once everyone arrived there the staff gave us a great history of the restaurant's building and all the art which decorated the room. There were appx. 60 guests with 3 servers. The food and service was absolutely fabulous! The servers got to know a lot of the people by name and they took a special interest in the only child who was at the dinner. He is 5 years old and they asked him what he wanted to eat and ended up making a special dish just for him. Everyone there was so well taken care of. As far as our family is concerned Lidia's is our new favorite place to dine! -Karen, Bob, David, and Ryan Wewers

The atmosphere was nice, the food was not. We were a party of 2, ordered very different pasta dishes and were both very disappointed. The flavor was not appealing, after a few bites we were ready to leave! Both the food and the drinks are over priced! We will not return!
