    My wife and I have been going to Lire for years. It has always been our go to for seafood. With the rebrand and relaunch we are even more impressed. The menu is fantastic with options that allows you to create your own experience or enjoy a family style exploration of a myriad of tastes. The service has been and continues to be top notch. On our latest visit Haspil was our server. He was very attentive and delivered excellent recommendations that we may not have selected on our own (the whipped feta was one of his recommendations and it was probably the best plate of the night). I highly recommend Lure Saltwater Kitchen for anything from everyday dining to special occasions or events.

    We had a wonderful waitress who was super attentive and made sure we had a great first time experience. The food was good. We went for the Steak Night special they had. I ordered a 14 oz NY Strip medium with a side of Mac and Cheese. I added on Asparagus. The food was seasoned well and wasn’t too overpowering. I really loved the Apple Pie for dessert. We decided on the Cabernet bottle for dinner and it was Bonanza. It was a semi spicy cherry wine and paired well with my steak. Overall, we will be returning when I arrive back in town. They did validate for 2 hours free parking in the parking deck behind the restaurant.

    we greatly appreciate that they were open till Christmas, and did not overprice their menu. I flew in from Seattle to be with friends, and this turned out to be a wonderful choice. The only surprise is not having any diet drinks, except for water. The fried biscuits were amazing, the jambalaya pasta with lobster was superb! sausage all six of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal
