The ambiance was amazing. A nice cozy intimate setting that could be a good date night, family outing, or night on the town with friends. The food was superb and served family style. You get nice size portions to share, so be mindful. Overall 10/10 would definitely go back and would recommend.

Delicious food and lovely atmosphere. The lamb chops, meatballs, spanakopita, tuna tartare, and calamari were all fresh and I’d go back for all of them.

Very delicious food! Extremely expensive though. Also a little loud but a really fun vibe. I would say it’s good for groups. My husband and I had fun though!

Food and drinks were exactly what we expected. We had difficulty navigating through the menu but Gabby our waitress went above and beyond in ensuring we ordered exactly what was right for us. She knew the menu from top to bottom without skipping a beat. We will be back again.

Lyra was highly recommended to experience for a romantic evening. The suggestion came from a young, hip Chicago event planner. The restaurant exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend it. Our waiter Tassos was exceptional: knowledgeable, helpful and uncannily accurate in both food and wine suggestions. Bravo. The meal was fabulous, the wine list had a handful of excellent wines at pre 2020 prices (Booker Vineyards "My Favorite Neighbor" drank like an absolute champ; and absolutely save room for dessert. Plan to share everything. You will be delighted with the experience. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

Great dinner at Lyra - the grilled Octopus was delicious, as was the ribeye - perfectly cooked. And the mushrooms were the best I've ever had - earthly and was great with the steak. The Old Fashioned and Dirty Martini were also fabulous!
