Celebrating a milestone birthday for a dear friend. The server was wonderful and food was delicious. Unfortunately our table was so close next to another table that it didn’t allow room for servers or anyone to pass. The person sitting on end was bumped into more than once during our dinner. When we sat down and noticed the tables being so close, we asked to be moved but hostess said they couldn’t accommodate us anywhere else due to reservations. We were a party of 5 and they wouldn’t put us at a 6 top table because they said the were all booked reservations. LÝRA management needs to take note it’s not comfortable for the entire table when there is one person who is going to be in the way of anyone trying to pass by, including server and other waitstaff.

Whole restaurant smells really horribly of fish. We were seated right next to the bar and kept getting bumped into to the extend that we left after drinks.

Decent food but insanely overpriced. And they try to nickel/dime for everything. We were okay to spend $55 on a gyro platter but I feel they intentionally give you only two pitas and a small amount of toppings so you’ll request more. Then they charge you without you realizing a few more onions cost $2 and tzatziki would be an additional $5. Then they slide in the 3.5% surcharge in there. I can appreciate paying for a fine dining experience but there’s a point where those petty charges impact the experience. Oh, and this was noted as an anniversary celebration. No mention of this from the server or anything to make it special. This doesn’t always need to be a monetary thing (dessert/drink) - it can be a note, a card, or just a verbal acknowledgement that we chose to celebrate at their restaurant.

Amazing experience! We had the charred octopus, gyro, moussaka, and horiatiki! I usually don’t eat lamb/goat meat, but their slow-roasted lamb gyro made me fall with it. If you’re new to Greek food, definitely ask your server, cos they’re very knowledgeable. We loved out server Almendra!
