    We brought my best friend and her husband from Indianapolis and they were blown away. They finished their meal and said they wish there was a Lydia's in the Indianapolis area. Consistently absolutely delicious food, impeccable service and ambiance. Can't beat this! Recommend that reservations are made in advance because this is a VERY popular place.

    The food was very good. Service was slow from the start and got worse. Noticed that the wine on my bill was more expensive than it was on the menu. Correcting that was also a long wait and the apology we got, was essentially “the manager must have it wrong in the system”. We hadn’t been to Lidia’s in quite a while. It will probably be a long before we go back.

    Our dining experience was excellent. We have the trio meal and all three servings were exceptional. Their staff gave us recommendation on what wine to get and they helped us greatly and we enjoyed that too.
