Went during restaurant week. Had the meatballs, superb. I’m not usually a fan but these were so good. I also had the lamb chops, I give those a 3.5/5, they had a lot of fat on them but taste good, cooked well.

LÝRA is a restaurant located in the West Loop area that offers a mix of dining experiences and has a lively ambiance. The dishes are described as good, with highlights including the charred octopus, deconstructed pastitsio, and Beef Cheek Youvetsi. However, the overall consensus is that they are overpriced for the quality and quantity provided. The atmosphere is noted as being quite noisy, which can make conversations difficult.
While the service starts off well, with guests enjoying their appetizers, there are reports of delays with main course orders. Sides often arrive first, and the main dishes can take significantly longer. This lack of coordination can be disappointing, especially on busy occasions like Mother's Day. Despite this, customers praise the staff for their attentiveness in refilling drinks, although some guests feel that the service could be more prompt.
The restaurant has a nice aesthetic, enhanced by a live DJ that sets an enjoyable mood. Customers have enjoyed cocktails like the Mykonian Mezz and Medusa's Mule, with appetizers such as Feta Stuffed Sausage and Spicy Feta dip receiving high praise. The branzino and eggplant dip are also noted as phenomenal. Overall, LÝRA offers a lively atmosphere that is ideal for date nights and celebrations, though the service and value for money may not always meet expectations. The decor and presentation of dishes create an inviting experience for those looking for amazing Greek food.
