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!

The ceviche was too sour, it needed a crème for balance. Overall the food was great, the drinks delightfully made, and Saul Q’s service was phenomenal.

I had a 9:30 reservation we got sat at 10:20. They made us sit in the bar because they didn’t have any tables in the dining room available even though they sat 3 other reservations who came in after us. Our cocktails were given to us at 10:50, 30 minutes after we sat and already had our appetizers. The management was not helpful at all.

Food was amazing from start to finish! It has a beautiful decor. Sadly, I had a hard time enjoying it because it was extremely loud…definitely a packed club vibe. Maybe lunch or dinner during the week would be better. Again, the food was worth it.

Tassos is one of the best servers I have had. I made sure to tell the manager Isaac about my great experience and he was very appreciative. You won’t be disappointed. It’s family style so come to share.
