LÝRA is a restaurant located in the West Loop area that offers a mix of dining experiences. The service initially starts off well, with guests enjoying their appetizers. However, the main course orders seem to face delays, with sides arriving first and the main dishes taking significantly longer to be served. This lack of coordination and communication from the staff is disappointing, especially on occasions like Mother's Day.
The dishes themselves are described as good, but the overall consensus is that they are overpriced for the quality and quantity provided. The restaurant's atmosphere is also noted as being quite noisy, making it difficult for diners to converse comfortably. While the staff is praised for their attentiveness in refilling water and remembering drink orders, the overall service is deemed slow and lacking in priority, especially when the restaurant transitions into a more bar-like setting later in the evening.
For those seeking Greek food, it is suggested that visitors explore the options in Greektown, where similar dishes can be found at a more affordable price point. Overall, LÝRA seems to offer a mixed dining experience, with the food quality being the highlight, but the service and value for money falling short of expectations, particularly given the restaurant's location and pricing.
