Food: Edible but unsatisfying

There's an undeniable stroke of creativity in Lido's menu. Spice it up with a flavor game that sits comfortably in the neutral ground, and you've got a pleasant enough gastronomic experience. However, don't come overly hungry - portions leave something to be desired and may leave your wallet feeling a bit lighter for it. Their daring choices may also come across as limited or too adventurous to some.

  • Very Creative

    Menus consistently praised for creativity, innovation, and unique culinary twists.

  • Okay Taste

    Good food, but experiences vary; some found it average, others unique.

  • Bad Variety

    Menu too limited, not enough options, or too adventurous for some tastes.

Vibe: Picturesque but lacks buzz

Lido hits the right notes with its ambiance - cozy and charming, with stunning harbor and ocean views that significantly enhance your dining experience. It makes for a great date night. But something's missing - perhaps it's the buzz, the heartbeat that you'd expect from such a seemingly perfect setup, it's a tad bit low in volume.

  • Great Drinks

    Extensive and carefully curated craft beer and wine selection praised

  • Negative Buzz

    Empty compared to adjacent establishments; lacked the expected buzz.

Perks: Nightmarish parking, noisy

Parking is a hassle during rush hours, and inside can get pretty noisy. On the flip side, the outdoor seating is a saving grace, with its cozy vibe and views. Groups seem to love the place and the chefs have a knack for accommodating all dietary preferences. However, a few kinks in the service make the overall experience less than perfect.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodating and attentive to large groups, offering great service.

  • Okay To Reserve

    Reservations recommended, host attempts to accommodate, some wait experienced.

  • Hard To Park

    Parking is a nightmare during rush hours; validation limited.
