LÝRA is a restaurant in the West Loop area that offers a mix of dining experiences. The dishes are described as good, though the overall consensus is that they are overpriced for the quality and quantity provided. The restaurant's atmosphere is noted as being quite noisy, making it difficult for diners to converse comfortably.
The service initially starts off well, with guests enjoying their appetizers. However, the main course orders seem to face delays, with sides arriving first and the main dishes taking significantly longer to be served. This lack of coordination and communication from the staff is disappointing, especially on occasions like Mother's Day.
Customers have enjoyed the charred octopus, deconstructed pastitsio, and lamb gyro dishes, though some find the food to be very rich. The staff is praised for their attentiveness in refilling water and remembering drink orders, but the overall service is deemed slow and lacking in priority, especially when the restaurant transitions into a more bar-like setting later in the evening.
Despite the mixed dining experience, LÝRA seems to offer a highlight in the quality of its food, though the service and value for money may fall short of expectations. The restaurant's atmosphere, decor, and presentation of the dishes are described as warm, stylish, and inviting, creating an unforgettable dining experience for those seeking amazing Greek food.
