Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Lirica boasts a "beautiful establishment" and "fantastic memorable lakefront dining" with attentive servers like Sergio. The ambiance is "pleasant," particularly for outdoor dining. Highlights include "great service" and an impressive New Year's Eve atmosphere. While some dishes may be salty, the corvina and small plates are recommended.

    Got the Valentine’s Day pre fixe for 110 dollars. Was not worth it at all. I think they forgot about the entrees and the steak was somehow: rare, medium rare, medium, and well done. After waiting an hour for the entree it finally came out and was almost inedible. Risotto-8/10 Took our dessert to go with our check. I couldn’t be at the restaurant for another 2 hours

    The service was good, people were nice. The food is extremely average and certainly not worth the price. Nothing was bad, but nothing was impressive.

    First time dining here and greatly enjoyed the experience. Our waiter Sergio and waitstaff Gio were always attentive and provided top notch service while very friendly. The food was very good and exceeded our expectations-from appetizer through dessert. It was very quiet for a Sunday evening, and we dined after theater. We definitely plan on continuing to patronize this restaurant when we have theater and/or activities on or near Navy Pier. Would certainly recommend to all!

    If your are looking for a really good restaurant on Navy Pier where you can sit and converse, Lirica is a great choice. The bartenders and the chefs know what they are doing and deliver an interesting and well-executed menu, and service is expert, calm, and friendly. Many (most?) restaurants on Navy Pier tend to be a bit loud and casual. With the loss of Riva during Covid, the mantle for more refined dining at the Pier has fallen on Lirica's shoulders. Especially good choice for dinner before an evening at Shakespeare Theater.

    If you happen to get Roger as your server… he is wonderful. Our food was good, the only downside as a whiskey/bourbon/mezcal lover is that the mezcal old fashion is very over priced and not what I consider great. For$20 it should be incredible.

    We are locals and came by for the restaurant week menu. We had a nice variety and enjoyed our meal and drinks. Our server Roger was delightful and did a great job. I've been here in the summer months on the outdoor patio when it is much more busy. In the winter, you are welcomed like a friend! Worth the walk over to Navy Pier even on a cold night.

    Located at the west end of the pier. Cesar salad bland, with deep fried cubes of white bread, Waiter ordered wrong dish he ordered me a burger instead of the chicken which took a really long time to cook. Churro dessert tasteless and dry.
