    I had been a few years back and had the best experience! The food has really gone downhill. Ended up having to send a plate back which I've never done before. Wouldn't really go back sadly.

    Lyra is always a hit! Highly recommend the hummus collective, broccolini, beets, and fish. Make sure to save room for dessert too! The ice cream sandwich is a true delight!

    Food was excellent as always, hats off to chefs and cooks. The manager was very quickly irritated in a situation that called for basic (and intuitive) customer service. Server brought items to my table that we didn’t order, one of which she picked up from my table and placed on another table. We were also brought the wrong check.

    We made an early reservation and requested a table outside. There were three tables open outside when we arrived 15 mins after opening. We were told someone came in and put their name on the list and would be back so we couldn’t have that table. Also there was a walk in that came before us. Then when we noticed the tables went empty for another 15 mins we asked again and were told that friends of the owner had requested the table. There was room to setup an additional table outside as they left most of the patio empty but they wouldn’t agree with that suggestion. We watch the table outside sit empty for another hour and a half. But as locals who frequent this place once a month, living a block away, we were out of luck. There wasn’t even an apology for giving tables to walk ins at basically the same time vs a reservation of a regular. Not even an offer of a drink or something. It’s our last time there. The hospitality world has lost its sense of customer service.
