    Food, server, and ambiance were wonderful. Despite several prior reviews noting how vegan friendly Lyra is, that was not our experience on a Friday night: the vegan in our group was told the only options that could be made vegan were a salad and a couple of the sides.

    I was so happy we were able to get in last minute. We looked at reservations for tonight around 11 am, the only thing available was 9:15. Maybe 45 minutes later a 6:45 pops up and we were able to snag it. We had the short rib humus, whipped feta, hamachi, pork belly, steak & frites, fried halloumi and two kabobs. Perfect for all 4 of us hungry eaters. 100% will be back- if you can get in I highly recommend trying anything and everything on the menu. Service was impeccable. Food was courses perfectly and everything came out hot right out of the oven. If you have been to Bavel in LA you will love this “sister” in Chicago

    We went with friends who were visiting the city. Had the brunch menu and was not disappointed. The restaurant was not crowded, we had a table on the outdoor enclosed space. I will say it was a little bit drafty and with current temperatures was a little cold. Overall it was an enjoyable experience.
