    Lyra Nashville offered a decent experience overall. The service was fine however, upon arrival to the restaurant there was nowhere for us to sit and enjoy a drink before our table was ready. The restaurant advertises as a Mediterranean Mezze style experience, which would imply that our food would come out mostly at once so that you could combine different items to enjoy the flavours at your leisure. Unfortunately our food was delivered individually with long gaps in between each item arriving. The food was of great quality and we did enjoy what we ate however, the serving of octopus was very small and certainly did not qualify as a large plate - it was one very small piece of octopus with a pile of potatoes.

    The experience was really good. We went there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I love Lebanese food but it was our first time trying a proper Lebanese Restaurant. Our server Michael was so amazing and took time to explain the Menu, patiently helping us with our queries. The freshly made fluffy Pitas were to die for. Best Falafels, Humus and Baba Ganush dips. We tried Cauliflower Baked Veggie option, which was good. Our favourite of the day was the Orange Pistachio Rose Cake. We don’t drink often to lapse on judgement on ordering the drinks 🙈 But, overall really good service and experience. Will comeback again! 🙋🏻‍♀️

    The food at Lyra was innovative while still providing a middle eastern palate; the fresh, hot pita was amazing! Having so many choices of Arak was impressive. Service was attentive and friendly. We had a very enjoyable evening.

    Always wonderful at Lyra! Drinks, hummus sampler, and the vegetable dishes were true stars and the ice cream sandwich was the perfect way to end the dinner. With great service from the entire team.
