This place has the best food and dining experience in Nashville! We had a hiccup with my reservation but Alex took care of it... and made sure everything went smoothly! She is the best! Our server Gracie was wonderful and I appreciate how every staff membertook care of us. Definitely one of the places we will always be visiting when in Nashville! Read more
10+ stars, easily!! Every dish and cocktail was immaculate here, with lovely atmosphere and great service. We love Mediterranean... food and I've only had as great of an experience at an upscale spot in the Greek Islands. Bonus: the way they cook the octopusinvents a new category for seafood, the *reverent pause to give me a moment with this bite* category. Make reservations early! Read more
There is a wait even you arrive at the reserved time. The food and service were good, the host could be better. The patio is pet... friendly and the staff even offered a dog bowl for our pet. The pita was perfect and the cocktail I had was on point. The waiterwas great and recommended us with good choices! Read more
OK overall. Whatever you do, you MUST order the fried cauliflower 10/10!! The hummus was also really good. The fish kibeeh was... not good 3/10. Drinks are great. Dog friendly patio! Our waitor was excellent! However we did have to wait about 10min to getseated even though we had a reservation. On site parking. I would recommend for tapas and drinks in a patio setting! Read more
Great Lebanese middle eastern food. The Hummus was delicious but the steak dish was perfect. I will come back to try the lamb... chops. Parking is a.little difficult to find and I recommend come early to sit at the bar or call and make reservations. Limitedseating because it is so busy and well liked. A little expensive but worth the cost. Read more
We enjoyed every aspect of our experience at Lyra. The server was able to describe each dish and drink in detail that really... helped with the decision making process. They were also fast from getting drinks out to food coming from the kitchen despitebeing busy. The atmosphere is pleasant. Chic, clean and modern it does not give off a distinct middle eastern vibe but it goeswell for a date night or nice business dinner. The food was hands down some of the best I've had in Nashville for a long while.We started with stuffed bread which was essentially a highly elevated spinach dip inside of a delicious crusty bread. The redpepper dip didn't quite live up to that but it was lighter and made a nice palate cleanser. Finally some fried cauliflowerprovides a nice crispness and char without being the slightest bit greasy or burnt. For mains the leaf wrapped red grouper wasnot photogenic but was perfectly prepared so that it was moist but solid and paired with a thin slightly tangy yogurt sauce thatbalanced the sweetness of the fish. The octopus might have been the best octopus I've ever had. Absolutely melt in your mouthsoft, which is so hard to do with this typically tough meat. Finally the chicken really shined, bathed in a greek tatizik stylesauce the heavy dill cut with a roasted lemon it had crisp skin and juicy meat really making this somewhat boring sounding dishshine. It was the only dish we had any leftovers for but it made an excellent lunch the next day. All the while we enjoyed somecreative cocktails like an old fashioned with some cinnamon notes and a delicious rum absinthe pairing. The wine list is alsostrong and the server was well able to pair a few glasses with our eclectic meal. Logistical consideration: reservations highlyrecommend and they fill up quick it's a small place. Parking can be a major hassle with the pharmacy and mas taco right by them.You may want to check the side streets and drop off anyone in your party with uncomfortable shoes Read more
Amazing find!! We drove up from Chattanooga to go to a concert and wanted to have a good meal prior to the concert. Oh my gosh,... what a place. The food is delicious, my favorite was the steak. We had the hummus (so good), the cilantro chicken, the lamb andthe steak. Will definitely come back. Service gets an A+. Read more
This place is fantastic. We went last night for dinner and we were very impressed. The service was great and the food was... perfect. Excellent cocktails, appetizers, meals and you have to try the orange almond cake for dessert. The hummus collective isalso a must. Read more
