    lamb
    Vianai A. C.

    Came in on a Saturday afternoon and the vibes were quiet and chill. Lots of soft natural lighting inside. We had 3 delicious beverages (they have a mocktail menu!) but the tequila/wine/cola drink was our favorite--such an interesting combo! We shared the the lamb rack plate and margarita pizza. The lamb was beautifully cooked and the veggies it came with were so yummy. We also enjoyed the pizza as it was light and fresh. We had excellent attentive service the whole way through. There's valet in the parking lot across the street and the restaurant offers a discount on valet services.

    I kept seeing LYLA all over my feed so I finally went, and honestly it does feel like you're not even in Dallas, it's very like Italian beach club vibes. Service was actually really good, everyone was super nice and even the general manager came over to check on us which I didn't expect. We got the burrata first and that was easily one of my favorite things. It's not just a plain burrata, it comes with a bunch of stuff like prosciutto, pistachios, some orange slices, way more going on than I thought. It's also pretty big so you can share it. And it comes with sliced sourdough bread that's grilled with olive oil and that part... so good, I loved it. Then we got the cacio e pepe with shrimp. The pasta tasted fresh, like actually homemade, and we added shrimp, it only came with three but they were huge and cooked perfectly. It also had a little truffle in there which made it even better. We also tried the salmon with quinoa and that one surprised me, the sauce under it was really good and they got the temperature right, I asked for medium and it came out perfect. Cocktails were nice too, they have a lot of options and everything looked really good. Overall I'd go back for sure. It's more about the vibe than just the food. I've heard their brunch is really popular too so I wanna try that next.

    A cute vibe for girls night but is on the pricier side. Pasta was just okay. Would probably get something else next time. The restaurant was very hot while we were dining in. It was about 7 pm on a Friday night in the summer so a bit understandable but really inconvenienced our experience. The waiter was attentive and fixed our wobbling table. Drinks were a bit on the sweet side even after sending one back. I had higher expectations going in but would say it was okay overall.

    Celebrated their Galentine's Dinner special: purchase a drink, receive a meal for free. I purchased the Be Mine drink. Really cute and perfectly mix flavors. Not too strong, not too weak. The food was yummy! Small bite plates but really good food and flavors. Service was quick then slow then quick then slow again that was confusing. Nevertheless our waitress was wonderful when present. Explained the special in detailed, explain the small plates and offered to bring the regular menu out. I'd definitely try the restaurant again to get a true feel for the service and food on a regular non-special night. One sour note was the parking. The parking said $7. Upon requesting the car to pay it stated $39. When given the code for validation it reduce it to $8.81, not $7! Why is there fees attached to parking??? That's crazy and not cool. But anyways...I'd go back

    Oh boy.... our party of 9 had a reservation scheduled for 9:15pm Saturday night. Our party arrived as early as 8:30p with the last guests (birthday girl & driver) arrived right at 9:15p. We were told our table was not ready -- because they'd given it to a non-reservation group of women (yes, them) -- so we'd have to wait a little longer. A little longer became 45 minutes. We were not sat until 10:15p!!! Once sat, it took about 15 minutes to even get our drink orders so at the same time, we ordered our dinner. A bartender named Stefanie came to our table and brought us a bottle of Prosecco we did NOT ask for and proceeded to tell the waitress she gave us a bottle (for free) yet the manager overheard them and said no, we cannot do that. FINE! Come get the bottle off our table since it hasn't been opened. Do you think she did that? No. She continued to ignore our table. Everything took FOREVER -- while most of the patrons were GONE out of the restaurant. We didn't receive checks until 11:08p (no exaggeration). Food was absolutely MID. A pepperoni pizza shouldn't taste so stale after being freshly made. I felt discriminated against the entire night at this place. Not a fan, won't be back. My sisters, if you know, YOU KNOW. Enjoy these photos of the birthday girl!

    Easter Brunch here with fam! Good service - good food - good drinks! My Espresso Martinis were yummy - and the decor of this little restaurant is really good vibes!

    Honestly, I wasn't super impressed with Lyla's. I've seen so many people rave about it so I was excited to finally try it. Service was great and I did like the ambience of the restaurant, but overall it felt overhyped. We started with the Brussels sprouts which were probably the best part of the meal. For dinner, we ordered the Italian chopped salad, truffle pepperoni pizza, and feta salmon. Everything was decent, just nothing that really stood out or made me want to rush back.

    The restaurant is gorgeous and definitely has the Instagram aesthetic. We went for brunch and service was quick. They had a separate brunch cocktail and food menu on top of their normal menu. The standout items to me were the salmon, truffle fries, and cocktails. The mimosa flight is a good deal and they were generous with the juice options. We got a steak & egg pizza which I was really excited for but ended up being extremely disappointed because what came out was a pizza with scrambled eggs and some pieces of steak with a mountain of arugula on top. Which would be fine but the menu description calls out "sunny side up eggs".

    Beautiful restaurant! Food was amazing and drinks were okay. Great service! Love the vibe!

    We were excited to try Lyla but overall left disappointed. The service was very slow / no one came to our table for 30 minutes after sitting down. Finally one of us got up to go find someone. Food was cold and not fresh, lacked flavor. Cocktails were syrupy and overly sweet. Ambiance was nice but doesn't make up for other aspects, hopefully they improve in the future

    Galentine's at Lyla I attended a Galentine's Event at Lyla and it was cute & very on theme with girly vibes & definitely giving soft, pretty, photo-op energy. They offered a "complimentary" 3-course snack experience with the purchase of a drink. I don't recall the drink purchase being advertised when the promotion was first announced, but we proceeded with the experience anyway. I ordered the "Peach No Party" mocktail (peach purée, raspberry, citrus) which was refreshing, light, and perfect for a no-alcohol night. Now let's talk food The Truffle Fries were delicious ,crispy, flavorful, and easily my favorite bite of the night. The Chicken Picatta was very flavorful and paired well with the side salad that accompanied the plate. I will say... I was expecting pasta and a slightly bigger portion. But taste was on point. The portion however, could've been more generous. The cupcake was a NO GO for me. It was hard and tasted very store-bought and refrigerated. That was the only real miss. Overall, I do like the concept they were attempting to achieve. It felt thoughtful and curated for a fun girls' night out. I would definitely try them again especially if the portions get a little upgrade. Cute concept. Good flavor. Just needs a little refinement.

    I had my birthday dinner here and loved it! The food was super good and our waiter was great with our table of 9. I have been thinking about that pasta for days! My only complaint would be that we had a reservation and had to still wait 35-40 minutes to be sat. Then when walking us over the host had an attitude because she was sitting us at a 6 top when we had 9 people. Other than that it was great.

    The place is super cute! The food was a little pricier than the worth in my opinion. The eggs held a lot of grease. The service was okay!

    Can we bring balloons for birthday celebration?

    I saw a group who did, but it wasn't very many maybe 2 or 3.

    What is the difference between the dining room, lounge, and veranda?

    The dining room is the main larger area, the lounge is closer to the bar with high tables and chairs but it doesn't really give bar vibes, in a good way. The veranda is outside close to sidewalk/street. The place is super cute.

    What hours does brunch get serve?

    Considering they open at 5pm everyday, I don't think they have brunch. Best to call and make sure. https://www.lylarestaurant.com/menu

    Is there valet parking?

    Yes, they offer valet parking.

    Do they serve gluten free pasta or pizza?

    Yes both!

    Are there vegetarian options? (Apart from the salads)

    Yes. Pastas and pizza.

We started with the focaccia bread (5/5). Wow--this might be some of the best bread I've ever had. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the dip was delicious. I usually try not to fill up on bread before the entrées arrive, but we made sure to finish every bite. We also ordered the burrata salad (5/5), which was a very generous portion and absolutely delicious. I would definitely order it again. For our entrées, my friend and I shared the chicken piccata and the bolognese. The chicken piccata was a 5/5 for me, while the bolognese was a 4.5/5. Both dishes were excellent and I'd happily order either again. This visit was a completely different experience from my first one, and I'm glad I came back.
