While I thought the food was decent, it was a bit overpriced for what it was. The drinks were small and full of ice for $15 a piece, but the appetizers/small plates were rich and filling. The entree we had (the NY strip) could have been skipped as it was not what we expected and we paid to much for what we got. It was good as a once dine, but only would return for an event.

Nice location, the outdoor patio is near to the walkway but still nice. The staff were generally polite but not very personable. There were two of us in the party and both meals were on the bland side without much flavor. The brussel sprouts side dish was very good but the main courses were lacking. Considering the value and location, I would recommend dining here however the food may not be very exciting.

IMHO not a real "Spanish" restaurant. The fried chicken was very good. The Paella was VERY bad. (VERY). Drinks were very good. Great service. Great atmosphere/ ambiance.

What a great find! We happened to be staying at the Sable Navy Pier and decided to have dinner here. We were very happy that we did. It was incredibly delicious and the service was fantastic. They were accommodating and friendly. We highly recommend Lyrica for it’s Spanish cuisine and friendly service!

Our first time to Navy Pier. We sat on the patio and were able to see the 10pm fireworks. We had a 9:45 reservation, got the apps before the fireworks and the entrees after the show. Great timing. The trees were blocking the view a little so some of our party walked a few feet away to see the full 10 minute show. Our service was great!! They did last call around 10:30pm. All good reports here. Food highlights -Larica Salad w salmon, wings!!

Lirica is my favorite restaurant in Chicago, period! Out with a couple of friends from overseas, who have dined around the world. They even commented the city and lake views from Lirica’s patio at dusk was heart melting and the food and service were phenomenal. The manager on duty Amil surprised us with flutes of champagne and a summer special Ceviche upon learning we were here on occasion. Friends couldn’t say enough good things about the Ceviche as it was very summer vibe, perfect with their cocktail pairings on a breezy Navy Pier night! Server Breanne was very knowledgeable of the menu and drinks, and food was quick. Overall very pleasant experience and I’d recommend Lirica to anyone who’s looking for a special night with gorgeous views and excellent food! Summer dinner by the lake is just something next level! Thank you to all the managers and staff who made my friends remember Chicago on such a high note!!

Just got nachos and a drink. My wife got the wrong drink and only the top 12-14 chips on top had cheese, guacamole, etc and the rest of the chips underneath were just plain chips. Nice atmosphere outside

Made a resv. 3 weeks in advance and when we got there we were very much treated by the hostess like an inconvenience and after thought. Very noisy environment and booth was dirty from previous customers. Waitress forgot us more than once. Will not go back which is unfortunate because we pd. $1600 to stay at the Sable Hotel and Lirica is attached to the hotel

Limited menu but every item on it is flavorful and truly outstanding. Well priced and enough choices to satisfy vegetarians and carnivores. Great restaurants in hotels that are reasonably priced, is a rarity. This one is a real keeper.

The paella was disappointing - could not taste any safron, the seafood seemed dry (perhaps cooked from frozen). The beet salad with grilled chicken is recommended. The lirica salad with salmon is nothing special - okay. We ordered red sangria, and were disappointed to learn we could not have that. The brussel sprouts with sweet chili was overcooked - basically browned and dry. The chips and salsa was perfect, though we noticed the nacho serving was huge, far more food than one would want as an appetizer (but maybe double order). The service was generally attentive. We came earlier than our reservation, and asked for a table on the patio to watch the flamenco. We had drinks and appetizers there. And then we were able to move indoors for the main course. They were able to accommodate this request. The location at the end of Navy Pier would seem like a good lake view, but giant cruise ships block the view.

This was a pleasant surprise. The pictures don’t do it justice. I thought it was going to be more fast food style based on the pictures but it’s actually really nice. Service was great, attentive and courteous. Drinks were weak but good. I had the halibut which was delicious. Small portion but worth it. My wife had the rib tip burger, incredible. We are going back because I want to try that burger.

Absolutely terrible -- food was not edible. Took the kitchen 1.5 hours to prepare kids mac n' cheese, and all food was not edible. There has to be something wrong with the kitchen. Great location and could be a fun restaurant, but the food is absolutely horrible. Our waitress informed us the mac n' cheese was running behind schedule because they needed to make fresh noodles (after we waited for 30-45 minutes). Then she came back to tell us they were out of noodles and we needed to order something else. And then finally she came back and told us they had noodles. They had boxed noodles (fine except for part of the delay was allegedly making fresh noodles) and made some repulsive mac n' cheese that was not at all edible. Chicken Panes was terrible - smelled awful and not edible.
