    We made an early reservation and requested a table outside. There were three tables open outside when we arrived 15 mins after opening. We were told someone came in and put their name on the list and would be back so we couldn’t have that table. Also there was a walk in that came before us. Then when we noticed the tables went empty for another 15 mins we asked again and were told that friends of the owner had requested the table. There was room to setup an additional table outside as they left most of the patio empty but they wouldn’t agree with that suggestion. We watch the table outside sit empty for another hour and a half. But as locals who frequent this place once a month, living a block away, we were out of luck. There wasn’t even an apology for giving tables to walk ins at basically the same time vs a reservation of a regular. Not even an offer of a drink or something. It’s our last time there. The hospitality world has lost its sense of customer service.

    Supposed to be shared plates style which is typically paced between courses, but the kitchen rushed our food out all at the same time. Virtually unheard of for a restaurant where you’re spending $100+ per person.

    The food is absolutely divine!! If you are looking for super delicious Middle Eastern inspired food, this place is for you!! I mean, like, it is REALLY good! The cocktail I had was also very good. Service was very good. Ambience is nice but a bit industrial for me. But that didn't matter. The food was so good! If I lived in Nashville I would go very often. This is my second time at Lyra (I do visit Nashville often) and it was great last time too. Definitely put this on your list!!
