   After waiting over an hour after ordering we were told some items weren’t available. When the food finally came some of it was cold. The ox tails were extremely salty and looked like they were from last week. Didn’t have the time or the patience to wait another hour for them to fix something else so we ended up paying for two inedible meals. This was my fourth visit and the first three were fine but today was so horrible that I’ll never go back.

   My second experience at Lior's Cafe is the same as the first Excellent environment, excellent wait time to be seated and served, excellent wait time for food arrival, excellent food quality, definitely excellent customer services provided by the hostess, wait staff, manager and Chef. I will make a third reservation when I return to Chicago again.

   The food was delicious me and my date had the oxtails and the red snapper there was nothing on our table that we did not comment or say this is delicious if you're looking for a different taste from a different nationality Haiti food. Hands down don't miss out

   My party and I had a reservation for 12/1/24 at noon. When we arrived the gates and doors were closed. We waited outside for at least 30 minutes. Another couple had come and waited as well. We called multiple times and even left a voicemail. Today is Wednesday and we still haven’t received a call back. I knocked on the kitchen door where I could hear people talking. No one acknowledged that they were supposed to be open for business at noon according to their website and our reservation. We paid a deposit to secure the reservation and we have not received our money back.

   We were one of only two tables. Only issue I had was the runners would just put the food down in front of whoever they felt like. Also, they didn't bring all the food together.and one party had none of what they ordered whilst the other had two dishes in front of them. The spinach patty was not heated up much. Just a bit above room temp. Maybe that is how they serve it in Haiti, but it would have been more enjoyable if it were hot. Fried pork in one of the dishes had a lot of very fatty, essentially inedible pieces, but there was still plenty. We could have done with an explanation of what the sauces were that accompanied the dishes were and what to put them on. Overall the food was pretty good, different, and nicely spiced. Note no alcohol served but is BYOB.

   I’m a Haitian from Florida and this was some of the best Haitian food I’ve ever had at a restaurant and the portions were insane. Came the night before I flew back home and packed my leftovers and brought them with me. The thought of traveling with food always put me off so I’ve never done that before, but Lior’s was that good. Staff were awesome as well.

   Great experience and service. The Ox tails is a must try. The cabbage was well cooked and has a spicy bit to it. Also the pound cake with the banana ice cream was a hit.
