    Dined on 3/4/2014
  • "The food was very well prepared. The wine recommended by our friendly server was very good. They know how to get you in and out efficiently if you have tickets to the Opera."

  • "The food was just alright. The appetizers were good but the other food was not great. I am not sure if it was what was chosen."

  • "Had a great time with my family preshow. They brought my mother's dessert out with a candle for her birthday. Waiter was great! Ambience was energetic! No complaints! Nice time."

  • "It was in a perfect spot! A 5 minute walk from the Metro station & about 5/10 minute walk to the Cadillac Palace. However- it was Friday & the bar area was packed & loud!!!! Even though we made reservations - we still had to wait 5/10 minutes to be seated. Then the hostess was going to seat us at a high pub table in the bar area!! I refused, so we waited another 5 minutes to sit in a booth next to the bar area. Due to our crappy location in the restaurant - it was hard to hear anything my daughter had to say- we had to scream! If we were seated away from the bar area- it would have been fine. By 7:00 most of the bar scene cleared out- so it was better- but we had to go. The decor & food was great- but hard to enjoy due to our location!"

  • "Prices moderate. Service very inconsistent. It serves a purpose and could be worse."
    Dined on 2/26/2014
  • "Lloyd's is always spot -on for pre-opera dining. The menu has a nice variety, the waiters are very helpful and efficient, the food comes out quickly and quite hot and the discounted parking below is a perk. After the meal, walk across the street and sit to listen to world class opera. Would recommend to any and all."

  • "Loved the adult atmosphere of Lloyd's. Nice dining music and not too loud making conversation easy. Wait staff was very attentive. Grilled salmon was excellent as were drinks and dessert. Nice proximity to train and theatre. Will go back to try other menu options. Reasonable prices for quality of food."

  • "I've been dining at Lloyd's for a few years now,originally it was because of the close probity of the Lyric Opera but now it's more for the food and the friendly and helpful staff."

  • "Service is always quick and attentive and food is good and reasonably priced. A great place for before opera dining. Good food, quickly served with nice ambience."
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "My husband, friends and I went to Lloyd's before going to the Opera. They had great food for a very reasonable price, especially for downtown. The four of us ate for a total cost of about $90. I will definitely go there again. The staff was very nice and understood that we were in a bit of a rush. We had our food very quickly after ordering."
    Dined on 2/18/2014
  • "Lloyds is very convenient for pre-opera dining. The tilapia sandwich was excellent. My friend ordered the chowder and had to send it back because it was not much more than broth. Very disapointed in that. Prices are reasonable."
    Dined on 2/18/2014

  • "This is a very convenient place to eat if you have evening opera tickets at the Lyric. The food is ok (nothing special) and especially in cold winter weather it's really nice that the walk to the Lyric involves just walking across the street. The service is fairly efficient so that you needn't worry about being late to the performance."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "We tried Lloyds for the first time on a chilly Saturday night. The food and service were great and it was just steps from the Lyric Opera building. The prices were amazingly reasonable. Lloyd's really helps a neighborhood that is frankly a bit lean on dinner choices."

  • "For location, you really can't beat Lloyd's! It's great for a pre show dinner. Very reasonably priced menu & decent wine selection."
    Dined on 2/3/2014
  • "We dined here due to its close location to the Civic Opera House. Great food, wine and service. I would recommend this spot before going to a show. It would be a fun place to hang out for drinks too. Good martinis! Kelly was an excellent and knowledgable server. She made our evening special ."

  • "Great Location near Lyric Opera. Staff gets you out in plenty of time. Food is Good, and priced well. Parking in building on Lower wacker a plus."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "I made reservation at Lloyd's when I learned they had parking in the building and the location was perfect for Lyric Opera House. Running late we were starving and debated the merit of sitting through the opera without eating, and agreed that was a no-go. We approached the restaurant and explained our dilemma... Lloyd's staff ROCKED! They sat us immediately, servers and managers were all about us like we were famous! We seriously... no joke, had a our drinks and yummy food, ate paid and were in our seats, in 30 minuets! We left a fat tip we felt great about! I've never written a review for a restaurant before it takes something extraordinary to motivate me... their customer service was extraordinary!! Thank you to all!"
    Dined on 1/17/2014
  • "We found Lloyd's through the OpenTable app after our previous reservation cancelled on us. We were so glad that we had that happen because we now have a favorite restaurant when going to a show at the Palace Theater. Thanks for the great meal!"
    Dined on 1/28/2014
  • "Having never stepped foot in Lloyd's, this fine establishment was recommended as a treat before attending an event at the Cadillac Theater. Truly an outstanding experience from the first second as we were greeted warmly on a frigid evening. The hostess, waitress and entire staff was very professional with a great sense of humor to boot. Most definitely a restaurant to share with fantastic friends and family."
    Dined on 1/24/2014
  • "Great food and service, loved the smaller portions because we didn't want leftovers. Very convenient location across from the Lyric."
    Dined on 1/17/2014
  • "Lloyd's is a great restaurant to go to if you're attending the Lyric Opera. The food is good and the service is outstanding."
    Dined on 1/23/2014
  • "The decor is a tribute to Frank Llyod Wright. The food is contemporary. The bar and drinks are excellent. We always go to Llyod's before the opera. Great atmosphere. Feels upscale but not pretentious or snooty. Very relaxed. Pretty good service."

  • "We visited Lloyd's many times before we attend the Lyric Opera, and enjoy the experience."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "We eat at Lloyds before the opera. It's a place for a fine meal, but I don't think we've ever said "Let's go to Lloyds" to have a meal that wasn't related to something at the Opera House. This is a fine restaurant!!! And probably is bit pigeonholed by people like us, and I hope they're busy evenings when there's nothing across the street!"
