    I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the amazing staff at Lyra for making my boyfriend’s birthday truly special. From the moment we walked in, everything exceeded our expectations. I had made a personal request on the reservation to have drinks ready when we arrived, and they went above and beyond to ensure that was taken care of—our table was set, the drinks were prepared, and the evening started on the perfect note. As a beautiful surprise, they also added a thoughtful touch—a heart-shaped hummus with Beets—which was not only a delicious treat but also such a sweet and unexpected gesture. The service throughout the evening was impeccable, with every member of the team making us feel warmly welcomed and well cared for. The food was incredible, full of vibrant flavors, and the ambiance of the restaurant was lovely—creating the perfect setting for a memorable celebration. Thank you again to the entire team at Lyra for making this occasion unforgettable!

    It was my best friend’s birthday dinner. We had a great time. Every item we got was delicious. Our waitress was very helpful and attentive during our dinner. She got us a little birthday dessert with a candle as a complimentary. It was very thoughtful. We will come back again!

    the noise level was obnoxious. the DJ had a practically empty restaurant and she played loud techno music with willful disregard for the impact on a mostly empty restaurant and a few tables of guests trying to enjoy DELICIOUS food. The space is beautiful. The food is delicious though I found the fish stew disappointedly oily and less enjoyable than I hoped. I will return and recommend it BUT a bit of "reading the room" is indicated. She is the only person who seemed to enjoy her loud music

    Our server was extremely knowledgeable about the Greek wine list and recommended special items on the food menu. We assumed she was Greek, but when she heard my husband and our friend speaking German, she spoke Deutsch, and we learned that she is half German American and Italian American. It was an amazing meal and a wonderful way to celebrate the holidays with our friends.
