Delicious food. Wonderful drinks. Terrific service. Great company. A good time was had by all!!!

Our Thanksgiving meal was an inventive take on a traditional holiday meal —expertly prepared, ample proportions, a great blend of flavors, with a couple of memorable touches that inspired ideas I’ll use in my own kitchen. Our engaging server Daniel and lovely hostess (whose name I neglected to get) cared for us in a way that felt like we were home. We tried the chef’s wine selection which struck us as a bit unusual when it was first presented. I’m glad we trusted chef Claudio to find the perfect pairing for our meal. Our experience was one of surprise and delight which suited us well. I noted that the menu could also have satisfied diners less open to adventure. I’m usually the Thanksgiving cook so eating out might otherwise have felt a little sad. Instead, we feasted while being treated like welcomed family by chefs and staff who clearly love what they are doing. This was our first visit to Claudio’s Table but it won’t be our last.

We are frequent patrons of Lia's and have been going there on Thanksgiving for many years, including during the pandemic when we did the carryout meal. Obviously we are pleased or we would not keep returning. While we have had the roasted turkey meal, we especially appreciate that the menu includes options for the main course. Our server, Carlos, was excellent as were those assisting him.

Dwayne was very amazing and very understanding about our questions and concerns. Very energetic and very fast great service!!!

One of our favorites, we've been eating there close to weekly for years
