There is a wait even you arrive at the reserved time. The food and service were good, the host could be better. The patio is pet friendly and the staff even offered a dog bowl for our pet. The pita was perfect and the cocktail I had was on point. The waiter was great and recommended us with good choices!

OK overall. Whatever you do, you MUST order the fried cauliflower 10/10!! The hummus was also really good. The fish kibeeh was not good 3/10. Drinks are great. Dog friendly patio! Our waitor was excellent! However we did have to wait about 10min to get seated even though we had a reservation. On site parking. I would recommend for tapas and drinks in a patio setting!

Great Middle Eastern restaurant. Creative and delicious dishes. Highly recommended.

Great Lebanese middle eastern food. The Hummus was delicious but the steak dish was perfect. I will come back to try the lamb chops. Parking is a.little difficult to find and I recommend come early to sit at the bar or call and make reservations. Limited seating because it is so busy and well liked. A little expensive but worth the cost.

Delicious food, amazing atmosphere, great service

10/10 amazing! We started with two non alcoholic drinks from the bar both soo good - zatar lemonade - fox hibiscus // we shared pistachio whipped feta and hummus also wonderful! Our second dish was so so so good with lentils mujadara! The main dish was THE BEST — braised lamb morghabieh!! Highly recommend this spot!!! Also our waiter Jed was so pleasant and offered great service and suggestions!

I’ve liked every experience I have had here. The happy hour is definitely worth it. The naan is absolutely delicious and fresh. The meals are definitely meant to be family style and shared.

Lyra is truly a wonderful place to have a grown-up meal. The atmosphere is calm and pleasing. The food is just exquisite. Go, take your time, have great conversations, ignore the menu prices. :D

At roughly $75 per person, the food should be, at the very least, warm and decent. However, everything at this restaurant was very underwhelming and disappointing. The service was fine I suppose, so there's that.The atmosphere seems nice when you walk in, however, even with a reservation you could be shoved in the windowless back room with the fake succulents for decoration and terrible acoustics. It's so very loud in the back room, and not in a "oh this if a fun lively place" kind of way. The lack of proper sound dampening causes you to hear everyone's conversations bouncing off of the walls.The appetizers are just fine, and the entrees really left something to be desired. I had the red snapper fish which was barely even warm. Now, I will say I probably shouldn't be ordering fish in a landlocked state, but hey, we all make mistakes. I had the opportunity to try some of my friends dishes and they were all very underwhelming. I guess to sum it up, this food would be fine if it was $12-$16 a plate, but they're are much more expensive. When you pay premium prices you should get premium food. Nothing wowed me.
