We ordered chicken sandwich which was cooked well. Was spicy which I liked. Fries were also crispy and fresh. We enjoyed the salad as well. Good music. Service was a bit slow but overall we liked it. read more

The food and service was not bad. I had the guacamole, Lirica salad and papas bravas. The potatoes were not crispy at all and the sauce on top made them super oily, would not order those again, even though I love potatoes in all forms. The guacamole was decent, as was the salad. They brought my group more chips upon request but I believe the person who ordered the guacamole said they were charged for the extra chips. I had the Jamaican Me Smoke margarita and it was really sweet and I couldn't taste the mezcal at all. Nice modern decor and friendly staff but I don't think I'd come here again. It's pretty expensive for the quality of food and drink. You could do far better for dining on Navy Pier. read more

I had breakfast here this morning and tried the Prosciutto Benedict and the Berry Chia bowl. I will say that I was expecting a lot more chia seeds than what I received, but otherwise it included a good serving of berries. The Prosciutto Benedict was good, and generously sized. I didn't finish it; definitely could have been shared between two people. Service was quick and very friendly this morning. It's a nice place to enjoy a meal in the morning, while looking out at the lake. read more

A surprisingly nice option on navy pier. I think it's associated with the hotel but we didn't know that when we made reservations. We mentioned we were seeing a show at Chicago Shakespeare and got 20% off our bill. Nice touch. Sandwich was very large. My husband enjoyed the caprese salad with salmon (a nice sized piece of salmon). We wanted the mussels but we were told not to eat mussels from anywhere right now due to some unspecified issue. We were surprised but chose not to challenge the server so got the grilled octopus instead. It was ok. Slightly overcooked but not enough to complain. read more

Will return. A hotel restaurant at the end of the Navy Yard. We've Spicy cauliflower soup Garden salad Squash doughnuts All are delicious, well presented. Large windows open to the water. It has outdoor tables as well. The only drawback is that the ship (City Cruise) moors right in front, blocking most of the river view. read more

This restaurant is located on the 1st floor right next to the check in desk of the hotel. It a convenient breakfast stop the day we checked out. Plenty of seating. It was a nice view of the water and the sky line. Coffee was fresh and tasted great. I ordered the Lox and Bagel with no onions. It was delicious and perfect for a day of travel. read more

I have to say the bartenders are probably some of the worst I've ever experienced. Everything is premix and they have no clue what they're doing what they charge you 18% your total bill on every drink and they don't care if you like it or not absolutely nothing but robots working here. Terrible service will never come here again.!. it's a shame because the views are so beautiful and they just have guys here who speak very poor English and don't know what Mixology actually means! It's actually an insult to the trade! Beware read more

Service was horrid. Valet not available during peak season; this was not shared. I would not recommend. read more

Plenty of indoor seating (for a late Friday night). Great service as a result! Items we ordered as of 8/2025: - Milk Braised Pork Shoulder - $30 - Decent though the turmeric cream sauce wasn't as flavorful as expected. Pork shoulder was decently tender. Would pass in the future. - Spicy Rigatoni - $23 (+ $12 for shrimp addition) - This was delicious. The rigatoni was good perfectly and the tomato cream was perfectly balanced. Shrimps were very large and well worth the extra $12. We would order this again! - Ceviche Tostada - $14 - Not bad and while the presentation is interesting, breaking the tostada to eat the thing was a bit of a hassle. It would probably be better with the Ceviche on the side and using the Tostada to scoop it instead of what they did here. - Key Lime Pie - $14 - Nice zest from the limes! We enjoyed this as the perfect palate cleanser after our meal. read more

This restaurant is located at the lobby of the Sable hotel at Navy Pier. I like how convenient it is to have a good restaurant at the hotel lobby because sometimes you are just too tired to go out of your way to dine. Service is friendly. I went here for lunch and for after dinner dessert and I got to consistent warm and friendly treatment from the staff. I enjoyed their food, particularly the spicy rigatoni and calamares. They also served a chocolate crème brûlée topped with strawberry which I surprisingly enjoyed (I was skeptical as this was chocolate flavored). It was heavier and denser than a regular brûlée but delicious nonetheless. My friends tried the lobster roll and they weren't too impressed by it. Ambiance is casual with a view of the lake. read more

Came here for dinner. Ordered the spicy rigatoni, latin burger, & mac and cheese. The food was pretty good, flavorful besides the mac and cheese. Could have used more seasoning. The one thing that I did not like was the service. They could definitely be more friendly, the service felt cold and as if we just needed to get out of there as quickly as possible. read more

Everything here is always great, delicious, served promptly, spaced out as requested, wonderful service. Perfect for pre-theater because they always make sure to get us done in time without rushing. Mussels are amazing as are the empanadas. Cocktails are creative & refreshing. Key lime pie delightful but more surprising was dark chocolate creme brûlée; just gorgeous. Our go-to place at Navy Pier. And discount if you're seeing a show at Chicago Shakespeare! read more

Came to have dinner. Once we were sat down we order whole branzino, braised beef, ahi tuna and apple cobbler. The service was not that good, had to wait to get my order place. Then when I got my fish, it was not cooked. Thought they will make another fish, but they just recook it on the stove. It was ok. This restaurant is Spanish cuisine, there isn't much flavor. I would say the tuna and apple cobbler were the one I like so far. read more

It's a beautiful restaurant in the hotel on the Navy pier. Service at this restaurant was incredibly slow despite it not being busy at all. Prices at this restaurant are ridiculous. $22 for a burger and fries. The burger was pretty standard. Nothing special there. read more

Rating: 4.1/5 [cocktails only] We ordered two cocktails at the bar, and they were delicious. The drinks came out quickly and were expertly prepared, but they lacked complexity, making the price feel pretty steep. Pear Martini ($18): Absolut Pear, lemon, simple syrup. A minimal ingredient list, but the bartender mastered this drink. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did--it was actually really good. The pear flavor was prominent but not overwhelming. Oaxacan Old Fashioned ($20): Mezcal Unión, Altos Añejo, agave, Angostura & mole bitters. I love this take on an Old Fashioned--smooth and not too bold, making it easy to enjoy. read more

Located in the Navy Pier/Sable Hotel, it was nice to have a restaurant located right at the hotel. I dined here for breakfast, lunch and dinner during my stay at The Sable. I tried the calamari, empanadas, two egg breakfast, steak burger, breakfast potatoes, and the greek yogurt. All were prepared well and tasted really good. The empanadas were my least favorite, the filling may have been better in a quiche or something, but the filling did not taste good to me. My favorites were the steak burger and the breakfast potatoes. Prices are way up there, yogurt was $10, steak burger either $22 or $25 and it comes with fries. The breakfast potatoes were $6 and the calamari was $19. Prices and menu can be found on their website. I would return only if staying in the hotel again. As for service, everyone was really friendly and food did not take very long to come out once ordered. read more

The food was okay and the portions were generous, but unfortunately the service was disappointing. Our server, Alma, never checked back to see how our meals were, never refilled our coffee or iced tea, or checked to make sure everything was correct. One meal was brought out wrong, the replacement was missing fries, and when we ordered coffee, she seemed annoyed that she had to make it. We were also told our bill could not be split among three couples, which was just lazy service. The overall attitude felt unfriendly, and the final interaction before we left came across as rude and dismissive. Good service can make an average meal enjoyable, but in this case the service issues overshadowed the experience. read more

Had breakfast here for two days during a weekend getaway. The service is pretty fast. The view is amazing! We tried the egg Benedict, avocado toast, yogurt parfait, breakfast burrito and French toast. The decaf we got is pretty good. Avocado toast is generally very hard to mess up, however, it really disappointed me. Pouched egg is fine, but the cherry tomatoes on top are freezing cold, which I don't understand. Thankfully the yogurt parfait was good. Our bill for the first morning had an automatic 18% tip surcharge that I almost didn't catch. It's literally two of us. I got cured by the French toast the next morning. It was truly delicious, fresh, hot, soft, chewy. The mascarpone cheese is the perfect garnish. read more

Great service. Delicious food. Beautiful patio. We had the eggs your way, breakfast burrito and avocado toast with some coffee. It was all perfect and I'm picky! Scrambled eggs were perfect. Soft and not over cooked. Bacon wasn't too salty and thick. My husband loved the avocado toast and my 10 year old finished his burrito. Potatoes were delicious and crispy. Overall the best breakfast I've had in awhile. read more

The only reason we stopped here was due to walking the entire pier and we were thirsty. I thought it would also be nice to have a drink and stare out to the ocean since nothing was open outside anywhere on the pier. To enter, it was confusing because there were several entrance doors and it was so bright outside that we could not see inside. Another customer walked up and thought the same thing. A staff member from the inside came out to greet us and guide us through the proper door. We made our way to the bar and sat. The bartender made his way towards us and gave us menus. We were just planning to drink so we quickly reviewed the drink portion of the menu. I ordered the Canela Apricot Margarita and hubs ordered a beer. I love apricots and was excited to try a drink with apricot, since it's very rare. Our drinks arrived soon after and that's it. No, hey let me know if you need anything or would you like to order food. We finished our drinks and left without planning to come back. Maybe during the colder months, some of the staff is not of great quality but everyone else we interacted with were wonderful. read more

We were at the hotel for Deka Event and was looking forward to a good sitdown meal after Service was disappointing from start to finish. The server Alma seemed irritated, got our order wrong, and didn't check in on us at all during the meal. We were a group of three couples, but she assumed it would all be on one check and never asked how we wanted it split, which made things awkward at the end. Overall, the service really missed the mark. The only bright spot was the food, which was ok. read more

I don't usually have high expectations for restaurants in hotels, and tend to avoid them. We ended up here due to other circumstances and actually... we are blown away. We've been to so many restaurants in Chicago, the classics, the hot and trendy, the hard to get into, even recently a 3 Michelin star.. but this was the best meal I've had in awhile. The drinks were really good. We got the arepa, and the shredded beef was absolutely perfect - super tender, and it was really flavorful. The empanadas as similar meat but more chunky, and again it was so good. Absolutely loved them both. Then my husband and I split the salmon dish with a side of the papas bravas - OMG I don't know what they do to those potatoes, but they were incredible. It's the only thing we didn't get a picture of, but they're tender, crispy, and also so juicy, which sounds weird for a fried potato but whatever sauce they tossed them in was SO flavorful. The salmon dish too- salmon was perfect, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a flavorful green sauce, a slaw, and my favorite veg... Brussel sprouts. We thought everything here was super good, plus a nice location of the pier with a view of the lake. We'll for sure be back again... I'm already dreaming of those potatoes. read more

We were staying at the Hilton Sable Navy Pier hotel after a long day exploring Chicago so we decided to eat dinner at their on-site Lirica restaurant. The dining room had a nice view of the lake and the Spanish inspired ambiance was very relaxing. The Scottish Salmon special was excellent as well as the fried calamari. The service exceeded our expectations due to the efforts of Breann, who answered all of our questions and made our dining experience the highlight of our day. read more

Service was awful! 4 people in my party and they AUTO ADD AN 18% GRATUITY. Food was decently good, but holy god not for this price. Avoid it. There was no mention of the gratuity before arriving or during. My waitress I saw maybe 3 times...... we were there for 3 hours and had to flag down bussing staff to get us what we needed. If you're a financial moron, then sure, this is the place for you. read more

We stayed at the Sable hotel at Navy Pier and were told to check out Lirica restaurant, which is located inside navy pier. I was hesitant due to the mediocre reviews, but after dining here twice, I'm not really sure why there were so many bad reviews. We had dinner here first, just walked in without a Rez and were quickly sat at one of the lovely booths in the middle. Our server was really great, super friendly, attentive, and quick. We had the straciatella (this was my fave with the Marcona almonds and amazing focaccia), fried calamari (the actual calamari was good, didn't love the dipping sauce tho), potatas bravas (huge portion, quite tasty), and bacon wrapped dates (also delicious). We really enjoyed this meal, so much that we decided to come back in the morning for breakfast. At breakfast, our server was also great, very quick and friendly. We had the omelette and steak and eggs. The steak and eggs were really good, steak was tender and juicy. The omelette was good, I just wished it had another vegetable in it, perhaps mushrooms? Overall, we really enjoyed our meals here. I can imagine it being even better in the summer when the weather's nice out. The pricing wasn't that bad/overpriced considering this restaurant being located on navy pier. I would gladly come back to eat here if we ever stay at the sable hotel again. read more

Lirica at the Sable hotel on Navy Pier is an adorable spot with great views. As a hotel guest, the convenience is unbeatable with the added bonus of a bar that serves up a really good old fashioned. The ambiance is a balance between current contemporary trends and being traditional, perfect for the Navy Pier. It's decorated with Spanish and Caribbean vibes. I sat at the bar and had a drink. I didn't try the food. The next morning, the breakfast buffet was plentiful and had many options like avocado toast, eggs, sausage, bacon, yogurts and pastries. read more

This would be the definition of mediocre. Nothing here is gonna be the "best" of anything or even something you would remember but you won't get sick eating here. However, for the price, i wouldn't recommend it unless you have credit you want to spend here. The servers are a hit or miss but even when they are a hit, they just come once/twice max and you have to flag them for refills. Being that close to the water is probably the only thing going for them. read more

We had the Lirica salad and Spicy Rigatoni which were pretty good. The salad was...a salad. And the Spicy Rigatoni was good even though it's not spicy at all. Service was amazing.

Was staying at Sable Hotel so we decided to eat here. For dinner my daughter & I split a beet salad. The dressing was great but beets were tasteless. We added shrimp & each got 2 shrimp. They were tasty. The cucumber gin & tonics were fantastic. Also ate breakfast the next morning. Just bacon & eggs but toast was cold & eggs & bacon lukewarm The service was great Everyone friendly & there were beautiful views of Lake Michigan. Probably wouldn't eat here again read more

You know that feeling when you're expecting to be wowed and... you're just not? That was my experience at Lirica. The view? Fantastic. The vibe? Lackluster. But the food? Well, it's fine. It's the kind of meal where you think, "Yeah, I can eat this," but nothing leaves you craving more or wanting to come back for another visit. It's the classic case of "good, but not great." I left wishing for something more--more flavor, more excitement, more reason to return. For a spot on Navy Pier, you'd expect a bit more wow factor, but unfortunately, it just didn't deliver. They are doing the best with service. read more

My family came down from the Sable Hotel for some breakfast - and the service is what stole the show. My mom is a vegan for some health reasons and had a little trouble finding options other than a fruit cup. Mishell took care of us! She created a mini salad for my mom with chopped up onions, peppers, avocado, spinach, tomato, and salsa. Every accommodation was considered and the care behind the service was superb. Thank you Mishell - give her a raise!!! With my food - I got the Eggs Your Way and was really happy with the flavors and presentation. Filled me up (both my tummy and my heart).
