Lírica Restaurant

This restaurant is located in the Sable Hotel. What a great addition to a beautiful hotel setting the service is friendly. The food is delicious. We were lucky enough to have Len, who was amazing, which isn't always easy to do when you have children with you. He was great with the kids on top of everything and made the night that much more special. We also had dealings with the manager. George, who is a big part of why this restaurant is an amazing place to go to dine.

Lirica at the Sable hotel on Navy Pier is an adorable spot with great views. As a hotel guest, the convenience is unbeatable with the added bonus of a bar that serves up a really good old fashioned. The ambiance is a balance between current contemporary trends and being traditional, perfect for the Navy Pier. It’s decorated with Spanish and Caribbean vibes. I sat at the bar and had a drink. I didn’t try the food. The next morning, the breakfast buffet was plentiful and had many options like avocado toast, eggs, sausage, bacon, yogurts and pastries.

Limited menu, ordered a bottle of wine and when we ordered a second bottle they were out. The server should have informed us prior. Food was ok. Felt rushed.

Beautiful experience here! We had dinner here on our last day visiting Chicago and ordered so many different dishes. Our server was excellent and the food was good. You have a nice view of the lake from this restaurant. My favorite dishes were the wings and the Brussel sprouts! The mac and cheese was also very good.

We went here twice during our stay. I'll start with the positives. This atmosphere is nice in this place and there are plenty of tables. The shishito peppers and nachos were really good! The second night, we had a great server who was really on top of checking in on us. The salad and Mac N cheese weren't great. The first night we went it took about 20 minutes for anyone to even show up to our table, despite the fact that we watched her go to four or five other tables more than once. We didn't get water until after our food was even served. I looked around and didn't feel that 6 seated tables was too much that we weren't getting service. We also both got sick from the food.

We had a very nice brunch today. The skirt steak was very tender and flavorful and I enjoyed them with the eggs and tasty potatoes. My wife got the Spanish fried chicken and waffles and they were amazing! The chicken was so tender and the outside had an amazing crunch to it. We also had the churros with chocolate and caramel sauce and those were excellent as well. I had a bloody Mary that was not the greatest but overall we really enjoyed our meal there today. Their prices are not too bad considering they are on Navy pier and must have a very high rent. Our server was very attentive and friendly. I hate going to super touristy places but this place exceeded my expectations and I would come back.

Lírica was a great experience while at the Navy Pier. The food and drinks were exceptional. The atmosphere was terrific, and the staff were friendly. I would recommend this place if you’re near The Navy Pier.

Really enjoyed this restaurant within the hotel. Best part about it is you can use your daily benefit to cover the cost of it. Was pleased with the meal and cocktails.

Third time here, great every time! First of all, Roger was perfectly charming, patient & attentive. We wanted to get half a dozen things and split, and he did it all graciously and without mocking us for being goofy. Second, the apricot margarita was tart-sweet, creative & refreshing. Chorizo-stuffed/bacon wrapped dates are scrumptious (and this from someone who makes amazing dates.) Only 4 in an order but so flavorful, and served with nice slices of Spanish cheese drizzled with honey, topped with marcona almonds so a lovely first bite for 2. Then the Lirica salad is so fresh with creamy light dressing & heirloom grape tomatoes. Nice lobster bisque was the soup of the day. Then AMAZING short rib burger, cooked exactly to order; we split one and I wished I had my own, best burger I've had in ages! Finally, banana Nutella empanadas are the perfect size to split and oh so yummy. Just a delicious meal in every way, 20% discount with Chicago Shakespeare ticket, why go anywhere else? Wonderful. We ended up rushing to the show & forgot to tip Roger on the full meal price and we feel bad so an extra THANK YOU for being the best server! We loved you!! And your sparkly eyes.

Really nice restaurant with a beautiful view and we were able to be seated immediately (we came for breakfast). The menu isn't too extensive but there is still a good variety. Everything is plated beautifully and tastes good. But I do wish the servings were bigger.

Great location, amazing service and terrific food! Loved the outdoor seating! Favorite eats were the salmon ceviche, samosas, bacon-wrapped dates amd mushrooms and goat cheese tartine. The sangria was incredible as well! Highly recommend!!!

Stopped in with a friend while visiting Navy Pier. It was the middle of the day so it wasn't very busy. We were greeted and seated immediately. The restaurant was quiet with a great view. Food was cooked well and tasted great. Not sure I'll go back but definitely glad I stopped in while visiting Navy Pier.

My family came down from the Sable Hotel for some breakfast - and the service is what stole the show. My mom is a vegan for some health reasons and had a little trouble finding options other than a fruit cup. Mishell took care of us! She created a mini salad for my mom with chopped up onions, peppers, avocado, spinach, tomato, and salsa. Every accommodation was considered and the care behind the service was superb. Thank you Mishell - give her a raise!!! With my food - I got the Eggs Your Way and was really happy with the flavors and presentation. Filled me up (both my tummy and my heart). Make sure you stop here if you're at navy pier!!

Beautiful location where we enjoyed our scrumptious drinks, appetizer and meal. I was visiting Chicago for a 3 day weekend with my family to celebrate my nephews wedding ceremony. On our last day before leaving for the airport we decided to enjoy a beautiful ferry ride and include our last dinner meal. We walked around until we noticed Lirica and were greeted quickly and appreciated the scrumptious delicious and wonderful and beautifully presented plates. We had about an hour and 45 minutes before we had to leave and thought there was plenty of time so we relaxed while we enjoyed our time together. There were 4 of us dining together. The appetizers arrived quickly and we also received our meal fairly quickly however one of us didn't have the meal arrive until the rest of us were almost finished with ours. We had a rental car to return and a plane to catch so we let our waitress know to cancel the order not received yet however she ensured us that soon the plate would be ready. We waited and waited however still took a while. We all ended up sharing our food so wouldn't have to sit and watch us eat while waiting. Just as we were about to give up and ask for the check the last plate finally arrived. Not quite sure what happened and what took so long but overall the meals were scrumptious and the style presented was eye pleasing.

this restaurant is located under the Sable hotel at navy pier. We visited this place after we checked into the Sable hotel and by that point, it was already 8 PM. At first, they seated us near the door, so we requested that we be moved to another table since it seemed pretty empty and we prefer not to be by the door. The host was a little confused and kept moving us just as close to the door, until he asked where we wanted to sit. I'm thinking maybe some of the seats were reserved so they were having a hard time moving? Not sure exactly. The service of the waiter was great though. He was friendly and helpful. This place is definitely for those who want to drink while eating some dishes. the portions are HUGE so even though it seems like small plates, the portions are definitely way bigger than we thought. not a lot of options for vegetarians, but my parents, who are vegetarians, still enjoyed what they ordered. what we ordered: nachos (10/10 yums): very good to share. it was a huge portion and was just filled with toppings like beans, cheese, and guacamole. the chips definitely got soggy towards the end, but honestly still was very good. lirica paella (8/10 yums): if you love seafood, this is for you. personally, the mussels and clams were good, but had an overpowering taste that was a little too much for me. the jumbo shrimps, however, were AMAZING. the rice itself was a little mushy but still good! definitely soaked the flavor of the seafood. french fries (10/10 yums): super crispy and fresh. well seasoned as well! fried shishito (5/10 yums): just got way to salty at the end. my parents didn't enjoy it. margherita flatbread (10/10 yums): you should definitely order this if you like something on the sweet side. It was super good in my opinion and soft. we got lucky and got to experience the fireworks on the pier that night. overall, this is a good restaurant for those who are staying at the hotel and need something quick and convenient. i wouldn't go out of my way to come here unless i was going to order alcohol.

When we arrived, half of our party was already inside eating, but the hostess initially refused to let us in. After confirming that we were part of the same group, we were finally allowed to join them. A friend of mine went back to ask if we could place our orders, but the hostess claimed the kitchen was closed. Feeling hungry and frustrated, we considered leaving to find food elsewhere. However, when our waiter approached our table and asked if we wanted to order, we informed him of the hostess's statement about the kitchen being closed. He then checked with the kitchen and confirmed that it was open, allowing us to place our orders. We were grateful for the waiter's accommodation, despite the initial confusion. It was disappointing that the hostess had provided incorrect information. Additionally, I found the menu to be lacking in variety, as I could only order fries due to my dietary restrictions.

server was very nice and attentive when we arrived and during our meal. Had trouble finding her when we needed to pay the bill to get to our show at the Shakespeare Theater. Ended up rushing to sign the bill...added 20% gratuity only to find out later it had been already added for our meal of three people, which was not told to us. Prices listed online are less than what was on the menu at the restaurant. Food was fine. $180 for a salad and nachos that we shared and 6 drinks.

I was surprised at the low reviews when I first looked them up on Yelp. The restaurant is beautiful, aesthetically and the menu looked awesome. We actually had a very nice server too. I think one of their big problems is that they give their servers too many tables at once as opposed to making customers wait for a table. It really ends up being bad customer service this way. The wait for food took sooo long and because our server had so many other tables, it was hard to flag her down for anything. I thought the food itself was great. Hopefully they can get some more staff hired soon!

Nice place, great location, but my food was not impressive. The seafood was over cooked and the rice undercooked.

Beautiful experience here! We had dinner here on our last day visiting Chicago and ordered so many different dishes. Our server was excellent and the food was good. You have a nice view of the lake from this restaurant. My favorite dishes were the wings and the Brussel sprouts! The mac and cheese was also very good.

The food was mediocre to good. The service was subpar. And any good was nullified by the shameful customer service from the manager (on the evening of 10.29). We were charged $42 for a 12 oz. NY strip when the menu the hostess gave us listed it as $32. Apparently, there was a misprint. No big deal, right? Just credit us $10. But instead, the server (with the man bun), the juvenile hostess, AND the shameful manager took no accountability for the mistake. Unprofessionalism at its best . To add insult to injury, the manager acted like she was doing me a favor by crediting me the difference. Absolutely, the worst customer service ever. The manager needs to find a new vocation having nothing to do with service. I would have given them 1 star but our server did try hard and seemed like a nice guy His service was not great but he hustled. I think he had way too many tables. We had to "steal" water from a different table. He never came by to refill our glasses. It took forever to get our bill. But we still gave him a 20% tip. The other reason for the additional star was for the fabulous latin wings. Best part of our meal. Other. - you can make reservations via Open Table - you will get 20% off if you show them tickets from¹ the Shakespeare theater - the walk from the theater to the restaurant is hella far - only the first refill of pop is free - the bathroom is bright as heck. :) It's clean and I like the individual stalls but you have to walk two flights of stairs to reach it. Although you can opt to go to a nearby rest room outside of the restaurant. I would NOT recommend coming here. The cost is not worth the food quality (or quantity). And their customer service is abysmal.

Good basic salad with chicken was enjoyable and service was fine. Not hugely memorable but relaxing nonetheless. High ceilings. Nice location in a quiet Hilton on the Navy Pier. I recommend you come here on an nice day to stroll by the lake!

Ambience is an outstanding masquerade poor quality service. Made reservations tonight for dinner, had no issue being helped once we arrived to the restaurant. We were seated almost immediately! We sat for about 20 mins before we had a waiter bring us water. ( turned out it wasn't our waiter) waited an additional 20 mins for our waiter to come by and he took our drink order we order a bottle of Rose to make it easier in the bartenders (it was not busy) and walked away without even offering to take our food order. Another 10 mins came by and went where he returned to take our order and tell us that our drink was still in the way. We placed our order and asked what vegetarian options they had for the "big platter" since they didn't have anything listed. Roger (waiter) replied with we can make a vegetarian taco. We asked what vegetables he said whatever we have. We put the order in. He later returned to to tell us that the bottle we ordered was not in stock ( this is a good 45mins into being at the restaurant) We cancelled the orders and left. Take your chance if you like as much as I hate to leave these reviews I DO NOT recommend it . The marketing leading up the the restaurant is another part of the restaurants play on drawing you in.

The worst!!!! The manager from the second we walked in after we were 10 minutes late for our reservation- because we were at a play at navy pier - after making a minute of small talk said "you're the last ones here, eat fast"- we were rushed from the second we sat down. The server literally asked if we wanted dessert when we ordered our dinner. We said we didn't know yet. When it was time to order they said "too late, kitchen is closed". I have never ever experienced such an awful experience. If you can avoid it, you should.

Sat at the bar on the afternoon of 4/13/24 for 15 minutes and were ignored by the bartenders, two older Hispanic dudes who were very skilled at avoiding eye contact. We watched these dudes chat and laugh to each other, wipe down the water station area AND each bottle of water individually, clean glasses, and do anything BUT help customers while we sat at a filthy bar starting at them, waiting to be helped. It was amazing. The people next to us had finished, dirty plates in front of them the whole time, also trying unsuccessfully to get their attention for the check. On our way out I reported this to the miserable looking, unhelpful young hostess who replied, "that's fine." Will never be back.

Very limited menu, breakfast was terrible for $29. Service is so bad you have to constantly get their attention just to get a beer or even a glass of water. They were all standing around on their phones watching a soccer game or something. The hotel is amazing, but the restaurant is horrible.

Stayed at the Sable hotel & had to check out this place. I went Thursday night & the appetizer was delicious (nachos) . I decided to check out their breakfast menu the next day.... Everything was good until we found a LONG HAIR in my partners waffles (p.s he's bald) which meant it was not his :(

Really nice experience here We dined here because we were staying at Sable. The rooftop was closed, but this was a nice back up option. We were greeted and seated quickly, The decor and view of Pier was amazing. The Yelp reviews were all over the place ,and I was very hesitant but there was a nice couple nearby. The couple let us know their selection and were in fact the two selections we had in mind. We chose the beef short ribs and the fried chicken with honey dish , and loved the crunchy texture of the chicken . The sides are a la carte which was disappointing at least one side should accompany the dish. So you need deep pockets lol. A lot of birthday celebrations were going as well but the noise level was very respectful which I enjoyed .

Lírica was a great experience while at the Navy Pier. The food and drinks were exceptional. The atmosphere was terrific, and the staff were friendly. I would recommend this place if you're near The Navy Pier.

A nicer option for lunch on Navy Pier than the food hall. Empanadas we're a little greasy and saffron aioli needed more garlic, but shishitos were awesome, burger was GREAT, wings were tasty, and I really liked the chimichurri. Iced teas were refilled promptly. The 18% gratuity added was a little presumptuous and not listed anywhere; the service was good though so it was in line with what we would have tipped anyway. Definitely on the pricier side but portions are large.

My girlfriend and I came in for lunch. Ordered a burger and some other stuffs. The paella was pretty good, but the burger was burnt and tasted really bitter. When we complained about it to our server, the first thing she said was "I came to ask you guys about the food you said it was OK." The thing is, we didn't start eating the burger yet at that time. Second, we didn't ask for a refund, just want to mention it so the chief can make it better next time. When we get the check, we found 18% tip included in the bill. We didn't know this from the beginning, nobody mentioned it. 18% for 2 people with that kind of service was unacceptable IMO. We were concerned about the reviews of this restaurant before we came in and now we know why they are located at such beautiful location with such horrible reviews.

Waited 30 mins for our food. It isn't even crowded. I think it was left forgotten. The avocado toast was ok. The green chilie dish was soggy and barely warm.

Absolutely terrible. If you are not staying at this hotel there is no point to eat here. My boyfriend booked this place for valentines day not realizing it was apart of the hotel which is totally fine but the service was piss poor and in the reservation we noted i had a nut allergy AND told the waiter...first item we get is bacon wrapped dates...had a handful of crushed nuts all over it...so random. Wasn't in the food description at all. They then took it back after we had to ASK for them to clear it off the table and they brought a new order with CORN NUTS all over the dates...again I cant have nuts. the manager tried to then mansplain that corn nuts are not the same as peanuts...We got up and left, I was crying. The manager was terrible, service was extremely slow for even the drink orders when we first sat down. It would be a genuine waste of time to go to this resturant. Go somewhere else in the city, do not go here it you are not staying at the hotel.

The food was excellent - a clear step above what Navy Pier offered prior to its redevelopment and the arrival of the Sable Hotel. Nice ambiance, too. Highlights: brussels sprouts with sweet chili, pinza flatbread with roasted red peppers so sweet they tasted like figs, shrimp cocktail (with tortilla strips), and the short rib burger. Mgmt, if you're reading this: the roasted beet salad needs a higher beet:kale ratio. Everything else was great, including the service and price/value. Thanks!

Typical hotel bar and restaurant vibes. Food was OK. I would steer away from some of the more global flavors. All of the American bar food was very good. Service was a little slow but it was kind of crowded. They had a interesting cocktail menu. I wouldn't go out of my way to go to Navy pier and eat here.

Would highly recommend going here for food and drink over offshore. Small but good portion size food. The drinks are strong and your enjoying the view. Great please to chill and relax and have a good time. Yes you do need a reservation, or just sit at the bar There is vegan and vegetarian options as well.

Have to admit...didn't have high expectations for this bar at far end of Navy Pier but it really surprised me! Service was fast and great. Drinks were incredible. Ordered snack while waiting for a cruise and it's was also quick and delicious. Would definitely come again when on navy pier!

Terrible food, reminded me of chipotle restaurant, the shame of Chicago. Empanadas were gros. The waitress seen we tried and did not the empanadas but didn't care. They put an automatic gratuity on their checks which you really cant do. (You idiots, a gratuity is something patron leaves. ( not mandatory, illegal) The waitress said it was to protect the business and the server. Do your job and earn it... Stay away from this restaurant, once again, food it terrible. Sam Hernandez

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night since Chicago does free fireworks at the Navy Pier at 10pm on summer Saturdays! This restaurant was a great location as it was all the way at the end of the pier and we sat outdoors to have a view of the show with our late dinner reservation. Making reservations were really easy but the service was very very slow. We spent a long time waiting for our food and for the check to be picked up. I had the beef tacos and mexican corn. Beef tacos were awesome but wish it could have been more filling! Our waiter was incredibly nice though.

'Sherry' Cola + Pan Seared Walleye We started our dinner with cocktails and boy did we earn them after a walk to Navy Pier in 80F+ weather! I couldn't tell you if I was more excited about the giganto ice cube in the drink or the lovely layers of flavor from melding cognac, sherry, and most notably, the cherry vanilla bitters. This would work well as an after dinner digestif. For dinner, I opted for the Pan Sear Walleye listed under big plates (though...big it was not). Drizzled with lemon butter and topped with fennel and sweet peppers. It was good summer dish but did leave me wishing for a bite of carbs. The fish taste exactly as it sound and while good, it was hardly memorable. If you crave fish, give this a try. Otherwise, check out the other items on their menu that seem to offer more Latin flavors. Bonus - Kids Grilled Skirt Steak with French fries. Love that the kids menu had some good selections including Cheese Quesadilla, Mac & Cheese, Cheeseburger, Chicken Nuggets, and Grilled Skirt Steak! We opted for the Grilled Skirt Steak and it was a steal at $12! Steak was bordering well-done but deliciously seasoned with a beautiful sear! Paired with parent and child approved French fries (yum, carbs!).

We only went for a round of drinks just prior to the Navy Pier fireworks return and while they were full tablewise we scored a seat at the bar. The ambiance is lovely and has an upscale vibe. The bartender promptly greeted us and we used the QR code to view the menu. For whatever reason, cell service was wonky and they could not find the Wifi password for us (note to management: if you expect guests/tourists to review menu on their phones, it would be nice if Wifi password was printed someplace) We shared a bottle of Cava, and asked the bartender to close out our tab about 15min before the fireworks which was perfect! All we had to do was step out on the Pier for the best view! I'd definitely do that again, but come earlier to try the food which looked good as it was passing by us.

The area is beautiful out on the peer but the service was not great. Ordered the nachos right away it we ended up waiting 45 min for them to come out. It then took them another 20 min to come back for our main orders which took another hour to come out. Despite the slow service our server was really nice and continuously apologizing. The food was good but for the price not worth it.

There were three of us who came in after celebrating the Lunar New Year at the Aon Grand Ballroom at the Navy Pier. We ordered almost everything on the Restaurant Week Menu and shared between the three of us. The goat cheese dip was good but there were only three pieces of crostini and not enough for the amount goat cheese and tomato sauce. We had to ask for more and they gave us 3 more. The salad was fresh and tossed in the perfect amount of dressing. The flat bread was also good and we loved that there was a little bit of everything on every slice so we all tasted the different flavors and textures with every bite. We were disappointed with the whitefish dish. The fish was cooked well and not dry and the squid ink linguine was Al dente, but all the mussels that went with the dish were unopened. I know that it does NOT necessarily follow that if mussels remain unopened that they are uncooked or bad. And there could be any number of reasons why mussels do not open even after cooking. However, the kitchen could have cooked them a bit longer or given us mussels that opened instead of all unopened ones. We decided not to eat them because we needed to pry them open and disinterested feel like doing that in a fine dining restaurant. We liked the paella, especially the large, juicy shrimp with a sort of chimichurri on top. The rice was cooked well and flavored delicately with saffron. The menu says that it came with clams, but our came with mussels, this time thankfully opened. The Iberian BBQ ribs were tender and okay, but did not impress. The location is great with a view of Lake Michigan and we asked to be seated by the window for much needed sunlight. The service was friendly and prompt and the staff was very efficient, especially when clearing plates. A little too eager, perhaps, because we were still working on our food and the crew kept asking if we wanted them to take away this or that plate. We finally gave up and asked for to-go boxes. We felt like we were being rushed for, perhaps, a Saturday dinner crowd they expected? They served our dessert and we liked them both - there were only two choices - the churros and S'mores tart. The menu said that the dip for the churros was made with "spicy" Aleppo chocolate but we detected no spice at all. For the price of restaurant week dinner, we had an array of dishes that promised to be delicious. Too bad that it didn't completely deliver and was hit and miss at best.

This restaurant hit all the marks. Beautiful view of Lake Michigan, nice ambience, great service, yummy food, we really enjoyed our dining experience and will visit this restaurant again. Highly recommend.

Not sure what happened as I am reading previous reviews, but that place was nice! The hostess station was warm and friendly with spunk! We were seated in a great section with awesome views. One thing I immediately noticed was the cleanliness of the restaurant, ESPECIALLY the floors! I am big on environment! The kitchen was also well cleaned and stocked as I watched the cooks prepare all the food. Our server,Breann Cole was awesome. Her attention to detail was awesome and her knowledge of the menu helped us select several offerings. She hit the nail on the head. For an establishment that just opened a year ago, they hit customer service on the spot!

The Brussels sprouts were the only good thing here. We got sick from the paella's we had, and had the runs for a a whole next day. It did have a little fishy flavor but we ignored it and powered through. Big mistake

We only had drinks but the food looked good coming out of the kitchen. The views at the end of Navy Pier were great, it was raining so we didn't sit outside but there looked to be a great patio. Drinks were good, staff was friendly. Shocked by the frozen sangria. It wasn't super sweet and you can get it to go, so you can walk around the pier.

We were excited because we got a reservation for 7 people on NYE ... the restaurant was understaffed and clearly from the get go we realized service will be extremely slow! Our server Roger tried his best but wasn't good enough.... The drinks were ok. 2 in our party did the pre-fix menu and rest of us alacarte . There is nothing for vegetarians really ... they had choice of salads and focaccia bread. I felt really bad for our friends. The sea bass I ordered was fine the lobster bisque had more corn than pieces of lobster. The only good thing was we didn't feel rushed through our meal. Desserts were ok nothing too exciting. Will certainly not be coming back here again.

The quality of their food is pretty good! Service was pretty slow and I had a couple issues with my order but they took care of everything right away. Also I'll take slower service all day if the food is fresh and clean!

The chiliquiles were spectacular. Wonderful layers of spectacular flavors, it keeps me up at the early morning hours!

I'd do 3.5 stars if I could. Came here for dinner before a show at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. It's a nice ambience, it wasn't busy when I arrived but filled up as it got closer to showtime. They have a prix fixe menu on show nights that allows you to pick salad/soup, an entrée, and a dessert. They also have chips and guac as a 'starter.' The chips were really good, tasted fresh and the guac was good too. The salad was fine, noting super notable. I had the jumbo shrimp, they were very garlicky but good. The dessert, the churro sundae, was also good. While the food was good, the service was a little lacking. When it wasn't busy it was good, but as it filled up we went a long time without seeing our server. The table we were initially sat at had a light that was flickering and giving us headaches, thankfully they were able to reseat us. The pacing of the meal was also off, we got the chips, then the salad shortly after. I had taken maybe five bites of my salad when my entrée came, so the entrée sat (and got cold) while I was finishing my salad. We did mention it to our server and then had a very long break between our entrees and our dessert. I do know that a lot of places are short staffed, plus they're newer, so I would give them another try. I did enjoy the prix fixe theater menu.

Great hotel bar/restaurant. Breakfast is a bit on the pricey side for what you get imho, however it's navy pier so here we are. As for drinks, dinner. Great drink selection. SUPER FRIENDLY STAFF ACCOMMODATING BAR/RESTAURANT. So yes, you are paying a slight premium but it's worth it. Food is 3.5/5. Overall solid place.

Food looked fine but was not tasty. Shrimp cocktail and nachos had stale chips. French fries were soggy and under seasoned. Service was not good as the host was very late to seat us despite the restaurant being empty. Server was inattentive and didn't refill water despite multiple cups being empty. Would not recommend or come again.

After reading some of the negative reviews on Yelp, I was a little hesitant about making a reservation at Lirica. I am SO glad that I went through with it as we ALL had an excellent experience here! I had made the reservation for 6:30pm, but after walking through Chicago for hours, we were all pretty hungry by 5:00pm. At the time the restaurant wasn't busy, so I asked the host if we could shift our reservation time. They were very pleasant and gladly accommodated our request. We were promptly seated and greeted by Roger, who took great care of us throughout our time there. If you are around Navy Pier, give this place a try! For those looking for recommendations, here's what we tasted and enjoyed: - Hamburguesa con Queso (5 of us got this and these burgers were seriously amazing!) - Taco de Pescado - Bistec Marinado - Torta de Milanesa de Pollo

We enjoyed our 35th wedding anniversary breakfast on the patio. Amazing feel to the air, food was on point and the service was wonderful.

Food was amazing. Beautiful presentation, and very good steak and whitefish. Flourless cake dessert was so smooth and choclate-y. Highly recommend this restaurant. Wait staff was attentive. Water glasses never ran dry!
