Don't think greek food should be expensive bc it's just like a skewer meatballs and potatoes but I was pleasantly surprised Lamb was tender and herbs came through, rly nice char on it too. Meatballs were surprisingly tender for meatballs, low expectations but impressed it was more than just a lump. POTATOES WERE FIRE super crispy and not too oily. Am a fan Tzatziki and yogurt sauce were both delicious and tasted completely different, kinda thought they would be same thing different font.
Came for brunch with my family and I loved the cute decor & summer vibes from there out door seating. I forgot to take a pic of the food but it was so good! The drinks were refreshing and delicious and our waiter was sweet and welcoming. The problem came after we received our bill, we like to guess how much our bill is for fun so when we received it we noticed it was way higher than expected($107 more to be exact) we then realized there were 5 drinks added to our tab that we never ordered. We brought it up to our waiters attention and he seemed confused. I'm not sure if he accidentally mixed the tables and included someone else's drinks to our tab, but he fixed the issue right away. I know things happen but just be very careful before handing your card and paying for someone else's drinks especially because it's not cheap here.
Been here several times and it's a consistently solid meal! The reason you come back here is for the deconstructed short rib pasta - it's an unforgettable dish! The other call out dish were the lamb chops, which were cooked to perfection and super tasty. The table was mildly disappointed with the branzino, it was cooked well, but mild in taste. Everything else was a hit! Restaurant is super cool, bustling, and a great vibe. We were a larger table and seated in a back corner room, which unfortunately felt like an after thought. Definitely request sitting in the main dining room. Overall, a solid pick in Fulton Market. 4/5 stars
Galentine's at Lyra was such a vibe. They offered a prix fixe menu for the evening, and honestly, it was a solid experience for $129. The grilled octopus was superb, The fried zucchini, lamb chops, and the orange cake to finish. The atmosphere made it even better for a night out with the girls. Good food, great company, and a beautiful setting... exactly what Galentine's should feel like.
We came for restaurant week and ordered off their special menu which was a great deal (appetizer, entree, and dessert for $60). I started with the charred octopus which was a bit spicier than I expected but still delicious. Rumor has it that the chef won Top Chef with the deconstructed pastitsio so that's what I had as my entree. It was a full of flavor and such a unique dish! And for dessert my partner and I split so we could try both options. They were polar opposites: one was very chocolatey and the other was very light and fruity. My boyfriend said the chocolate one was life changing! The restaurant is large put it seems like a popular spot so reservations are highly recommended (also plan ahead because parking is a nightmare in the West Loop). We were seating by the bar so there was a lot of noise and commotion but it looked like there were some other areas that seemed a bit more calm. Other than the food, the staff were absolutely amazing. We were served by George and Alo who were both very conversational and provided great recommendations.
Delicious beautifully crafted Greek food that impresses even in a city like Chicago which already has a strong Greek cuisine presence! Went here for restaurant week with my wife and we had a great time. The interior is sleek and well designed but still warm, and service was great. To start, we got the tuna tartar which was fresh and very tasty, and the charred octopus which was beautifully grilled with a nice charred flavor outside but still tender and juicy inside, perfectly complemented by the olive relish and charred lemon. My wife got the small upgrade to lobster linguini, including removing the nicely cooked lobster meat at table side; all the components were great including the seafoody savory tomato sauce, but it wasn't quite as special or interesting as the other dishes. The deconstructed pastitsio was fantastic, with melt in your mouth slow cooked short rib and a rich bechamel sauce and truffles, although after most of a plate of it, the richness and heaviness do start to build up. Desserts were spot on, for restaurant week we got both options which included a light orange syrup cake and Greek yogurt ice cream (the portokalopita), and a dark chocolate cake with brown butter ice cream (sokolatopita). The restaurant week was definitely worth the trip, although after looking at the pretty high normal prices, I would be inclined to wait until a special occasion to come back. Nonetheless, the food was overall delicious and beautifully presented (especially the flaming cheese that we saw most tables ordering), and I'm sure whatever you get you won't be disappointed!
WOULD DEFINITELY recommend. Came for a nice date night out in the Fulton Market. Booked a reservation but depending on the night if you come late enough, you might be able to snag a table (prefer reservation though. The ambiance was set from the first step in the door, got a live DJ as well helping set the mood. Just very nice aesthetic overall. Our server was very nice, took a little while to get us started, maybe was a little busy but could prefer more attentiveness. We started off which cocktails. We got the Mykonian Mezz, which I would give a 7.5/10, the mezcal isn't too strong which is good, thats usually where they mess up. Also got the Medusa's Mule, which is just like a Moscow mule, was also good; 8/10. We then got appetizers, Feta Stuffed Sausage and the Spicy Feta dip. They came with fresh soft pita bread to eat with. They were amazing to say the least, 9/10 for both the dip and the sausage platter. Would recommend getting both. For our food, we ordered the Beef Cheek Youvetsi, which had orzo in a tomato base w/ a very tender cut of beef that carried a lot of flavor. I personally recommend that dish and give it a 8.9/10. We also ordered the Deconstructed Pastitsio, that was even better. I love short rib, and this dish incorporated it into a pasta better than I expected. Only thing was that the pasta was a little more al dente than expected, but I reckon that that might not be how it is normally made. Either way it didn't ruin the meal at all, would give it 9.2/10. Overall, we had a good time at this restaurant, was a nice vibe with great ambiance and food. This is a perfect restaurant for a date night and birthday celebrations right in the heart of Fulton Market. Very lively bar as well if you want to stop in. I booked reservations same day but I do suggest putting in ahead of time. I plan to try more restaurants in West Loop area but I would definitely come back as my experience wasn't bad at all.
Hands down one of the best meals I've had all year. Period. Hear me when I say, that if you like pasta, cheese, & truffle, the Deconstructed Pastitsio is a MUST. It is fantastic. The meat is super flavorful, and they aren't skimpy with it either! Neither were they with the cheese! PLENTY of deliciousness on the plate and every bite. I've been here twice! I forgot the name of the first lovely lady who served us, but shoutout to Donnie and Andrew for making my second time here fun (and educational!). Andrew taught us where the name "Chicago" came from :) Lastly, although I usually always skip dessert, I do not recommend doing so at this place. I've gotten the Bougatsa every time, and I plan to continue doing so. Amazing crunch and texture, delicious ice cream, and the honey complimented everything so well. Ambiance is beautiful. I especially love the booths for big groups (and the bathrooms!)
Starting off the restaurant was gorgeous, we did have to wait 30 minutes past our reservation to be seated. All the dips we ordered were perfectly tasteful, especially the spicy feta and charred eggplant. They didn't have any vegetarian entrees in the menu, but when I let the waitress know she was able to inform me about the vegetarian linguine off the menu. That was very accommodating
Ambiance - amazing addition to west loop, casual/upscale depending on your group Service - exceptional, server was super attentive, offered recommendations, and checked on us often Food - loveeeeee the charred octopus (tender & flavorful), king salmon was cooked to perfection, wanted to love the charred eggplant dip but it contained goat cheese (which I'm not a fan of)
Lyra was fantastic! We had a group of 10 and everything flowed smoothly. The service was A+. The food was packed with flavor, nice sized portions and we shared everything. The cocktails were tasty and boozy. I have no complaints. It's also such a beautiful space with an outdoor patio, bathrooms were clean and aesthetically pleasing. The bar is beautiful here. This spot is good for all Occasions but most importantly, the food here is so good, it's worth a visit for sure.
We got here on a Thursday evening around 7. Didn't have a reservation and lucked out and we were seated outside after a 10 minute wait. Spacious interior with a circular Bar in the middle. Fun, loud and upbeat atmosphere. We started with the Breads and Spreads (dip sampler) and Calamari. All the dips were excellent with the Tarama with Black Caviar and spicy feta standing out. Calamari was perfectly fried and tender. For mains, we shared the slow roasted lamb Gyros and Cast Iron Moussaka. The Gyro was not typical and was sublime. The Moussaka had a veggie twist and was delicious. Plenty of food for the 3 of us. Having just visited Greece, enjoyed having a Mythos with dinner. Service was attentive and upbeat. Mo room for the Bougatsas or Loukoumades-next time. If in Fulton Market, make this stop for some Greek/Mediterranean deliciousness!
Loved our server Almendra. She was super knowledgeable. Drinks were good. I wasn't a huge fan of the mocktail. The Hades almost killed the bf at the end since he didn't mix the chili in his drink. The breads and spreads were fine. There was one dip that we didn't vibe with and the vegetables. But the breads were delicious. The rest of the meal was fine but I think their desserts were amazing. Personally I liked the Bougatasa (layered dessert) more than the Lukoumades (donuts) but I liked having the extra sauces there to mix in. The place is nice. I recommend getting a reservation after 20-30 minutes after they've opened since they seemed to need more time getting ready. read more
Been on my list of places to try for a while. Reservations have to be made a few weeks out. Suggest OpenTable. Get them points! The ambiance is nice, such a pretty place, and conveniently located in the prime FM area of West Loop. Use SpotHero if you can. Parking is non-existent or tight AF unless you're down with $30 valet parking. Not me. Based on reviews, we got the grilled octopus, Wagyu beef souvlaki, and breads n spreads ... all are are must haves... but be prepared for $30 apps and $50+ entrees, eek. The Maine Lobster Linguini is good but was not my favorite. The (birthday freebie) beignet-like pillow puffs with sauces accompanied by a sparkler, was a nice finish... but it was fun to have the real dessert with coffee at Beatrix (closes at 10pm) down the street. read more

Modern Mediterranean is the new rage, specially in the West Loop and between Aba, CIRA and Lyra you have plenty of great options to pick from. They all offer something different and yet all seem familiar. Lyra is a great spot to get drinks in Fulton market or enjoy a meal. I got an Old Fashion before my meal and the deconstructed lamb gyros and meatballs. Food was good but I wish I had picked a seafood entree. The gyro was a little too salty and slightly dry but I enjoyed the ability to make my own with all the fixings. I want to go back to try other items on the menu as well as for brunch one of the weekends. read more
Modern, energetic vibe. This place feels almost clubby and the crowd was young and dressed for the scene. We went with a large group as the dinner was a present from the group for my husband's 50 th bday. The food was modern Greek and overall quite good. We shared a mezze plate ( very good ), Halloumi ( good), tuna tartare ( didn't love the flavoring of that one ) and then the brazino fish ( excellent), chicken ( very good), and lamb gyros ( good ). It was a little loud for our crowd so difficult to have conversation at times but the service was friendly and the solidly very good food will make me recommend it if you like trendy restaurants in the Fulton market area . Very reasonable vallet parking too read more
We ordered: 1. Slow Roasted Lamb Gyros - 60 second pita, athenian accoutrements 2. Mykonian Anice Crusted Pork Chops - florina pepper romesco, oregano, gremolata 3. Bougatsa - crispy pillows, cinnamon ice cream, semolina custard, honey caramel 4. Deconstructed Pastitsio - short rib ragu, bechamel, fresh black truffle 5. Crispy Zucchini & Eggplant - tzatziki, smoked paprika I liked the batter and seasoning on the crispy zucchini and eggplant. The lamb gyros and pork chops were super flavorful, tender, and delicious with their sides. Bougatsa was a really tasty dessert - loved the creamy, sweet ice cream contrasting with the crispy, bland-ish pillow pieces. Portions and quality were good for the price! Service was excellent. Servers were helpful and on top of cleaning our table. I'm not a fan of eating in dark spaces and loud music. read more
Howdy All Hope you're well. Had the pleasure of attending a holiday event here last night Food Drink Atmosphere all excellent. The bar was quite impressive as well as the staff and a shout out to Andrew the bartender taking great care of our party. If you're in the area stop in and enjoy read more

Menu is on the smaller selection, not much of a vegetarian option. However, all of their pastas were spectacular - especially the short rib one. The service was okay, but it wasnt awful. Definitely expect to spend money if you come here read more

Hi Tiffany,…
I love everything about this place, I think it may be one of my favs in Chicago! The atmosphere is great, it gives tulum vibes. Big bar in the middle, cute bathrooms. Service is exceptional. I got the mezcal cocktail to start and it is perfect. Not too strong! The oysters are a MUST. These are some of the best oysters I have ever had. They come two ways, one deep fried. The deep fried one tastes like a funnel cake! We also got the spreads appetizer, very good, loved the whipped feta. Came with pita, crisps and veggies!! The lobster pasta is SO good. Some of the best pasta and they put the lobster in the pasta for you! The deconstructed pastino is also good, love the truffle! Can't go wrong with the gyros, very flavorful. I would also recommend getting a side of the potatoes. It's a large portion, they are crispy with a white sauce. It was my friend's birthday, they brought out funnel cake pieces with 4 different dipping sauces and a sparkler! So fun!! I will absolutely be back, I can't get enough! read more
I wasn't a fan of the service or food. However, it was really pretty inside. It's pricey and you're not allowed to split the checks. The server asked if it was our first time there and we said yes. She should've made that known in the beginning. We went to celebrate my sisters birthday. The server seemed like she didn't want to be bothered. We asked about desserts and she told us we should visit the strip bc they have small bites and other food. There was nothing on the strip but fair food. It seemed like she didn't want to be bothered. I'm not sure if she was having a bda day or not. read more

LÝRA is a total vibe -- the space is gorgeous and the energy is lively without being too loud. We spent around $140 for two and went all in with the grilled octopus, lamb chops, and the saganaki. The cocktails were super solid -- I had the Santorini Mule and my partner tried the Aegean Negroni, both hit the spot. Service was friendly but a little slow when it got busy, so just be ready to chill and soak in the scene. It's definitely a go-to for a fun date night or when you wanna impress out-of-towners. I'm already hyped to come back and check out their brunch! read more

Lyra exceeded my expectations. My waiter was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable about the dishes and the restaurant. The food was phenomenal and served family-style, I believe. The portions were perfect for two people to share appetizers and still have leftovers. The restaurant is beautiful, and the bathroom was clean and pretty. read more

Hello Raquel S.,…
The service here was amazing. Our server was Zoya and she made sure we were well taken care of. The hummus with roasted beats were amazing and I had a mezcal old fashion that is a must try. If I did not eat prior to coming here, I honestly would have had more. This is a great Friday evening dinner spot before indulging in the night life. It is lively, hip, and created for the young professional. It is beautifully decorated with the perfect lighting. Come, drink, laugh with friends, and carry on with your night or... head home. We are happy we stopped here because no one complained about any of the small dishes the received. read more

I'd give this place a five star however Andrew the bartender made my night a terrible experience, I was waiting to get a drink for like about 20 min, he saw me and never asked me what I wanted, then a guy behind me reaches over me and Andrew gladly serves his drinks, I told him I've been waiting here for 20 min and he says "you don't tell me how to do my job" I was like I can not believe someone can be this rude and I went ahead and asked him "where's your manager?" And then he proceeded to show me his middle finger. JUST TERRIBLE!!! read more
OH MY FREAKING GOD. Ok I preface this review by saying I went on an 8-day trip to Greece last year and have high standards... this meal was right up there with my best meal in Greece, if not better. We started with the tyropita which was the only item that didn't blow our minds. It was enjoyable but could've been a bit crispier and more flavor. We would try something else in its place next time. Ok onto the octopus... AMAZING. Cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious! Tied with the best we've ever had and we had it 3-4 times in Greece and Italy. If you've never tried octopus, this is the time. For our meal, we got the lamb gyros which were out of this world. How good could they be you might ask? SO EFFING GOOD. Best of my life. All the sides seem simple but are incredible and make for the perfect bite. GET THIS. I'll dream about it. We didn't do drinks or dessert since it was Sunday lunch but Greece makes great wine which is hard to find in Chicago so we will def be back for more! read more

Lyra is such a fun vibe - Perfect spot for a girls dinner, bach parties, and party dinners late night! Around midnight on Fridays and Saturdays it turns into a party and they pass out sparklers and it feels like Greece. The Aphrodite drink tastes delicious and the server was so kind and attentive even though they were so busy. They even brought out a birthday dessert and sparkler for us! Loved this place and would definitely go back on a weekend even just for the bar at night read more

This is the best Greek restaurant in the Chicagoland area. Not only is the service great but the ambience is so fun and pretty. The lamb chops are the best thing on the menu but you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. The Bougatsa is a fun dessert to get and the waiter puts it together in front of you. At night Lyra does turn into a nightclub every Friday and Saturday which is so fun! read more
After having a pretty lonely Christnas, (as my daughter was out of town celebrating with family) I needed a shot of holiday happiness. Foregoing a raucous night of drunken merriment on NYE, I planned a brunch with my daughter, brother and nephew. After conducting one of my famous, exhaustive restaurant searches, I chose Lyra as our brunch destination because the menu items looked so damned tasty. We arrived and were immediately impressed by the ambiance, decor and rather large crowd. Classy, yet subtle; posh, yet inviting. We were ushered to our table by a very friendly hostess even though i was wondering if she was hungover. I always feel sorry for the young restaurant workers who have to work the day after NYE. Like, did they forego a night of raucous, drunken merriment so they could be fresh for work? Or did they not, sucked it up and prepared themselves for a day of misery and regret. Not my problem, however curious I was. Anyhoo, even though I always study menus beforehand, I never decide on my time on my entree until I arrive. I knew I wanted a Bloody Mary and it did not disappoint. Well-balanced, spicy and with the perfect Bloody Mary accoutrements. We ordered our entrees. I, the short-rib hash, which was the star of the show. My daughter, the breakfast pita. Brosef, the steak and eggs. Le Nephew, the burger. Everything was tasty and well-plated. How do I know? Because I tasted everyone's food. Duh. And of course they sampled mine. However, just 2 small complaints. When we were offered water, the options were mumbled by a runner whose English wasn't the best. When I saw he brought over fancy, bottled water, I knew it didn't come cheap. The bill showed $8 per bottle. Whatever. Annoying, but I knew better. Secondly, my three-year old nephew had a burger, which my brother ordered medium. It came back rare. Servers should know to note that the burger was for a toddler and needed to be cooked to specification. Lyra is a class act and I would definitely come back. It's cool for kids, but not toddlers who are prone to screaming, squirming and throwing things. I recommend for date night, GNO and celebrations. read more
Perfect Brunch spot in West Loop. I went with 2 of my friends & we arrived right at 10:30. Upon arrival it was pretty empty, with heaps of servers- but by the time we left it was busy. Finding street parking was easy to do at 10:30, seemed limited when we left ~Noon. Majority metered parking around. read more

Very aesthetic and chic restaurant great for a dinner with friends of a group as many of the dishes are to share! The service was great. Came here for my friends birthday dinner and ordered a good amount of dishes. Portions are reasonably sized and we saw a table get the slow roasted lamb gyros which looked massive. Breads and spreads: 4/5 dips were amazing and pita was fresh. A good and more affordable way to fill yourself up! Shaved broccoli and black eye peas: 5/5 GET THIS. I'm not sure what they put in this salad to make it so delicious or addicting but it's the perfect flavor combination of fresh and savory! Lamb chop: 4/5 tender and well cooked, small portion Deconstructed pastitsio: 5/5 amazing amount of truffle and short rib in this! Very rich and could only eat a couple bites, but those bites were amazing I would definitely come here again for a special occasion. It's definitely pricy but in my mind, better than aba or ema some of the bigger Mediterranean competitors in the area. read more

I've been to Lyra a number of times and it's one of my favorite restaurants in Chicago. From private events to regular dining, the service and food are always on point. I celebrated New Years Eve at Lyra this year, and considering it's such a busy night and a pre set menu, the food was still excellent. Special shout out to SVP Gold Valet for the great customer service. My tire was damaged and ended up needing to be fully replaced, and they not only reimbursed me in full, they were apologetic and quick to solve the issue- within the same day of me reaching out about it. I really appreciate them making it right and won't hesitate to valet again in the future. read more

Food was excellent. Grilled octopus was insanely good. Service was attentive and informative. Props to our server, Denise for a job well done. We were deciding between two desserts and our server suggested the orange cake (which was dense and syrupy and the Greek yogurt ice cream omg) so we chose that. However, since it was my husband's birthday, they surprised us with both of the deserts that we were considering on the house. They also hand out birthday sparklers which are fun af. Ambiance was perfect for a night out/celebration. Pumped up music, good crowd, maybe a little loud for some (not for me), but definitely a "see and be seen" type of environment but without being super pretentious. We'd absolutely go back. read more
Came here on a Monday evening around 7:15pm for dinner with a coworker. We had a reservation for 8:00pm, but we were able to get seated earlier. Service and staff: - Our waiter was kind and helpful with food sizing recommendations to make sure we had enough for the two of us - Upon being seated, you will have three options for water: tap, still, and sparkling Food: - Deconstructed Pastitsio: so delicious! If you're a fan of truffles, pasta, short rib Ragu, or delicious food in general, this is a must order. There are nine "pieces" to eat. - Hades: basically a spicy margarita. As you can see from the pepper in the photo, there is a nice slight kick to this. Definitely not as spicy as it looks - just a slight kick. - Hummus: comes with a side of pita. If you like beets, this is good. If you don't, the beets are easy enough to push to the side. - Horiatiki: I didn't think I would like this as much as I would. The flavor was good and the vegetables tasted fresh. Miscellaneous: - Would recommend making a reservation just in case - Parking is limited nearby - Outdoor and indoor seating available read more

Thank you so much for this wonderful feedback! We're thrilled you…
We came by Lyra for brunch and the weather was beautiful enough to be outside. They also have heaters on to add some heat if needed. There are some parking garages within walking distance, but they often offer valet parking later in the day. For brunch we ordered a bunch of plates to share. I started off brunch with a watermelon mimosa and it was incredible! The perfect combination of sweet and tart. The tuna tartare came out first, along with the Tyropits! The cheesy spanakopita! The tartare was delicious, it did have a kick to it, and I wish it came with some kind of chip to add that extra crunch on it. (But that's because I love a good crunch!) The entrees then came out, we shared the steak and eggs, short rib hash, and the chicken souvlaki . The steak and eggs came with a cherry tomato salad, and all of which combined made the perfect bite. The short rib hash has truffle oil on the potatoes and was flavorful with every bite! Lastly the chicken souvlaki was the best dish! The portion was huge but also super tender and juicy. It came with tzatziki and pita. At this point I was beyond full, but we always have room for dessert right? We had the breakfast pasty with caramel sauce and it was absolutely incredible!! The flakey and creamy filling with the caramel sauce was out of this world! I managed to save room for one bite of the donut, it came with caramel, strawberry, vanilla and chocolate dipping sauce. I decided to be adventurous and drop in the strawberry chocolate and caramel all at once, and it was the best bite ever. Haha. All in all, we had an incredible experience. We even brought our puppo of whom made tons of friends on the patio. Can't wait to come back to try other items on the menu! read more

Dear Eldarbek K.,…
This Greek spot was so good! Definitely a fun place to celebrate. Appetizers: We got the two way oysters which were okay. The spanakopita though, OMG definitely would come back here for it. Just so so flavorful. Entrees: we got the Wagyu beef which was juicy and tender, combined with the yogurt and what looks like a red pepper sauce. The combination just all makes the dish come together as one. We also go the lamb gyros. Such a huge portion. Comes with 4 toppings and pita bread. Definitely get this to share with the table. Dessert: a twist on tiramisu, it was just different but so good with the dark chocolate on top read more
Brunch with the girls was I M M A C U L A T E here. So many beautiful and delicious dishes, I can't imagine how good dinner would be here at another time. I love how the dishes can be communally shared with plenty to go around so you're able to try multiple things. The short rib hash was definitely my fave! As another review claims, I can also wholeheartedly vouch for how crispy and flavorful the potatoes are. I wish I had two stomachs so I'd have been able to eat more, but I was definitely sooooo full by the end. The bathroom situation is pretty interesting in terms of the sinks. Bathrooms are separated, but there's this awesome shared sink in front with large rocks at the bottom that made me feel like I was washing my hands in a fancy creek. Normally, I'm not really into "trough" style sinks, but this one was an exception. (Totally unrelated information, but mentioning anyways lol) Absolutely need to come back to try the entire drink and food menu! No complaints about service, and it was pleasantly easy going in terms of capacity on a Sunday afternoon. read more

What is the difference between standard seating and The Villa - dining room with Mykonian Sunset vibe? Which one is better for a couple celebrating their anniversary?
The Villa is a private dining room area that requires a party of 12 or more. The Villa and The Kava provides an intimate dining experience for groups.
Do they have valet parking? Will they allow you to leave your car in front?
Yes!
Is Lyra kid friendly? Can I bring a 3yo and 1yo to eat here? More concerned of the atmosphere than the food.
No, it's definitely an adult/clubby vibe
Do they have GF options? I only see a few sides on the menu that are but no main dishes.
ID remember cause I was back there in Feb.
