Back for another meal at Lyra before heading to the Underdog for a show. Our food was consistently excellent, both visually appealing and tasting delicious. Our server, Melissa, was great taking very good care of us and always close by if we needed anything.

Bastion was the best dining experience we have ever had. The tasting menu was so good. The service was stellar with staff knowing and calling you by name. We got to try unique things we have never heard of and the best salmon and Tri-tip steak we have ever had. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and the wine pairing is a must.

This has been on our list for years but have never been able to get a reservation when it worked for our schedule. We had begun to wonder if it was really worth it but still wanted to try it. And wow - it was REALLY WORTH IT!!! We had an amazing time. The food was as good as anything we have eaten anywhere and the experience was over the top fun! We did the wine/cocktail pairing and it was also worth every penny. I wish I had the words for how good the food is. And sitting at the chef's table where you see all the action is just plain fun. My only caveat is this is a great place for 2 - 4 people -not great for large groups. Can't wait to go back!
