Menu didn’t have enough variety, and not updated on google maps. Keep that in mind. The atmosphere was great, but no flash photography allowed. Our server ronal was great, he really made the experience wonderful. Don’t take recommendations from TikTok

4 stars because they should offer more vegetarian options that don't include mushrooms. Someone in our group is a vegetarian and hates mushrooms so her only option for a meal was a salad.

Otherwise the cocktails, food, service and atmosphere were great. The halibut and short rib were excellent.

I was really looking forward to celebrating my birthday at Lyle’s, but sadly, the experience left me completely disappointed — and honestly, heartbroken.

Not long after we placed our order, the manager came to our table and told us we couldn’t use our phone flashlight. We were just trying to take a few nice photos to capture the moment — it was my birthday, after all. But instead of feeling celebrated or even welcomed, we felt singled out and embarrassed.

The restaurant was so dark that we couldn’t see our food properly, let alone take any decent pictures. I understand wanting to preserve a certain atmosphere, but when a place is so dim that it ruins the guest experience — especially on a special night — something is seriously off.

I walked in excited to celebrate with people I love, but left feeling sad and frustrated. They completely ruined what was supposed to be a joyful, memorable evening. I would never recommend this place for any special occasion, and I honestly regret choosing it for mine.

Great ambiance, fun dj, delicious dinner and brunch! Christie took great care of our 10 person bday party— not a glass was empty! Highly recommend the cheeseburger (big portion for brunch).

Dined at Lyles for breakfast. Delicious food with prompt and attentive service.
The bar is cozy and drinks fantastic. A great place to gather after dinner with friends and enjoy the atmosphere and innovative cocktails.

This place is so gorgeous and fun! We loved the atmosphere and the food. The pork chop was especially good as well as our waiter Ronald (couldn’t have asked for better - he was amazing)!!

Dishes you wish it would never end - and when it’s up you wish you had room to try all the rest of the menue.
I have been here several times before the menu changed and Chef Jan and his team keep me enchanted and surprise all anew with beautifully displayed flavour combinations.

Meanwhile the service makes you feel just at home, the Ambiente is private and relaxed, it’s all just wonderful. Excellent wine recommendations, too.

Thank you Lyle’s for providing such an allround comforting, delightful experience.

P.S. the portions are all quite big, they offer take-away boxes

Lyle's is delightful. The food is excellent, the service superb, and the decor elegant and comfortable. My only quibble is that the music was at a decibel level that made it difficult to converse.

Hospitality was incredible. The room was cozy, clean and offered a nice view. Drinks at the bar was great. Hotel is in a prime location so you're in close proximity to bars, restaurants, shopping etc. Really enjoyed my stay and will be back.
