    They took forever to get us seated, and they placed us at the bar, where it was very loud. The waiter didn't come to our table for 15 minutes, and random people kept coming to our from the bar asking if they could leave their drinks on our table. We waited for many weeks to make a Saturday reservation, and we ended up leaving after 15 minutes, not ordering a single thing.

    Food was great, service was mediocre at best. Our waiter never came back to check on us when we got our drinks. We had to flag him down just to put in an appetizer order. The appetizers came out fast. Once we were done with those, we once again had to flag him down to order entrees. I ordered wine with the entrees and by the time the entrees got there, still no wine (he forgot about it). He never asked how we liked our entrees. He kept passing our table to check on another (the same table every time) but would not make eye contact with us. Don't even get me started about getting the check........... I would only recommend purely based on the food.

    Very tasty food. I loved the crab salad and the octopus. The lobster pasta was great. Beautiful place. The music its quite loud. I like it, but to have a conversation it can be hard. The waitress spoke too fast and too low . I couldn't understand half of what she said. But great service.

    Lyra were rushing us, we invited 4 couples and the moment we stepped in they told us we are limited to 2.5 hours. They rushed us a lot, they even brought the check without asking. We paid $1400 , food was good, but felt rushed, waitress was ok but not very welcoming. I think they should have considered that we were a big table and ordered a lot and refrained from making us feel rush most of the time.

    The food was wonderful. Except my wife asked if the fish had bone and thehy told her no and then when ir came out with bones, the server had a nasty attitude which made my wife uncomforfable to ask for anything else. It was loud and fun just terrible service from the start.

    Hostess was as rude as they get. Booked Lyra for the experience was wildly disappointed to be shoved in the back corner. Asked if we could wait to move to a better table as we had the reservation for almost a month. She barely gave us the time of day. The food was fine and waitress was nice.

    Best brunch place in West Loop hands down. The cocktails and my avocado toast was delicious. They oysters 2 ways weren't very impressive, they were okay, but the poached egg on my avocado toast was perfect! My friends enjoyed the omelett. I will definitely recommend this place for brunch in the future.

    I booked reservations here a month ago for my friends birthday. We got there an hour early and sat at the bar, which was great. Loved the bartenders and the people we were around. Once our reservation time came up, we checked in and they didn’t have a table for us for another 15 mins. Finally, we were shown to our table at the back corner of the restaurant! I asked our hostess if there was a table in the main part of the restaurant (which is where all the cute decor is that you see online) and she said I needed to book the main room on the reservation instead of “standard seating” 😂. Food was overpriced for sure, the lobster linguine was $58 and had barley any lobster in it and $28 for hummus and dips should be illegal. Service was also very mediocre. It’s a cute place with good ambiance but would be hesitant to recommend or go back again. Also - if you are coming expecting a dessert on the house for your birthday, think again!

    It was nice. I took my son for his birthday at his request (It's one of his favorite places). The waiter was blah not nasty or anything just very blah. No smiles, Not friendly ( not nasty either). I booked the villa, but asked if we could sit in the main area, we were told no because It was only seating for larger crowds and they wanted to keep it open, but I saw a couple of tables we could have sat. Anyway it wasn't a bad experience, but I probably will not go back.

    Great food, though a little heavy on the oil and grease. Didn't have reservation ready and waited extra 15 min while others seated. Flavors were on point. Very loud to the point of not being able to converse. A little pricey on the cocktails and on main dishes, though shareable. Overall, good, but given the competition in the Fulton Market area, not in my top to revisit list.

    Food and atmosphere is outstanding! Beautiful place, interesting menu that is still acessbible. Food is fantastic - highlights being the short rib pasta, the grilled octopus and the scallops. They do a really fun birthday service as well. The service however is terrible. Our server was attentive at first and then completely disappeared for 40 minutes. After he reappeared, we waved him down for 40 minutes at which we had to leave as we were made late for a show. Prices are also pretty high for greek fare. They need to get the service right before I would consider returning for a special occasion but there is potential.

    It's a bit expensive, but the portion sizes are ample. I'd recommend sticking with appetizers and sides -- all of the ones we ordered stood out to me more than the entree. Definitely get the cauliflower side -- that was phenomenal.
