   This was my second visit to Lyla, with my first being in November 2024. While the fall menu impressed me, the spring offerings fell short. Unfortunately, the service was significantly slower this time around, and the food arrived cold. We ordered the steak, Bronzino, carrots, broccolini, and pasta. The Bronzino, in particular, seemed like it would have been delicious if served warm. It's difficult to properly assess a cold steak, and the other dishes also suffered from the temperature issue. The extended wait time contributed to the overall disappointment. On a positive note, the drink selection at Lyla was excellent, and our server was genuinely delightful and attentive. He was a bright spot in an otherwise underwhelming experience. Given the relatively high prices and the issues with food temperature and service, it's hard to give a high rating. However, as a new restaurant, I understand there's room for improvement. I'm hoping Lyla can address these concerns and deliver a better experience in the future. I'd be willing to give them another try, but they need to improve the speed of service and ensure the food is served hot.

   One of my favourite places to eat in the city. Beautiful atmosphere, service and food alone with waiters and waitresses that care about how you’re doing and make the experience that much better. If you get the chance you should go!!

   The food was fantastic, but the service was very poor for a business meeting. He was late, and the kitchen service was generally very slow. He did not seem like he was ready to work since he asked the same questions multiple times, he was pouring water all over the table, And he couldn’t keep track of our requests. It made the whole experience, quite awkward, and I didn’t know that there would be a 20% auto gratuity on our group. I will not be back, and I really wish I didn’t have to pay that hundred dollar tip for extremely poor service. I wish we had a different experience because it’s right in the neighbourhood and we go for business lunches all the time.
