After arriving on a Saturday evening with no reservations, we were pleasantly surprised to be seated immediately. The atmosphere was pleasant and I was happy to be seated indoors near the gas fireplace, although the restaurant features some lovely outdoor seating, which many others were enjoying that night. Our meal was delicious in all ways. I had a baked scrod... More

My partner and I spent a night in Kennebunkport on our way to Bay Harbor and decided to eat at Tia's. The food was exquisite (although the size of the swordfish portions could have been a little more generous). The owner (Tia) took the time to check on us to ensure everything was perfect and the recommended wine was perfect.... More

Service is awful, food is close to awful and it is not reasonable. At least the one in Boston has a view.

The chicken is really good. The service isn't professional but friendly. But the place when crowded is to family oriented for me. If you don't have kids, don't go in the summer time.

I finally went to Tia's for lunch on a Saturday. I find the menu very odd, the food is just okay, the service was good, the music was blaring. I had a hard time deciding what to order because not much appealed to me. I find the menu kind of weird, a place that has buffalo wings, sushi, and a... More

A lovely decorated and delicious experience. Very much appreciated their accommodation to split the entree - for a slight fee - sometimes you just want a smaller portion and even when we received the split meal - it was certainly enough to satisfy.

In November Tia's has an outdoor firepit. The porch is heated and there is a very nice bar menu that accompanies the 3 to 6 PM Happy Hour.

I really am glad to have stumbled on this place over the summer! Since first dining here, were have been back numerous times, and have never been dissapointed. They have happy hour from 3-6 Mondays through Fridays, and a great summer and winter menu. It's a very warm and inviting place to eat and relax, and let the stresses of... More

Loved the open air views of the harbor, and the drinks were great . There were some nice appetizers, too. Service was busy, but pleasant.

Thought it was going to be just a little bar/restaurant. NOT, anything but! Was pleasantly surprised with the way the place was decorated and the dark, wood bar is gorgeous! Sat on the heated deck and watched the foot and auto traffic go by while we enjoyed [really good] bloodies! My sister had the lobster, goat cheese pizette and I... More
