Lyla

Had a fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the beautiful ambiance and thoughtful decor; everything about the setting felt warm, welcoming, and tastefully put together. Our server Abram was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and genuinely made our dining experience memorable. All the staff were great. The food was delicious, especially the garlic shrimps, so flavorful 😋 And don’t miss the Hazelnut Heaven dessert, absolutely amazing. Highly recommend! Overall, this restaurant exceeded our expectations on all fronts.

From the moment we were seated at Lyla, Abram set the tone for an extraordinary evening. He greeted us with a warm, genuine smile and a professionalism that immediately made us feel welcomed. Throughout the night he was attentive without being intrusive, striking just the right balance checking in at perfect moments and always anticipating what we might need before we asked. His deep knowledge of the menu impressed us: he described dishes so well we felt confident choosing even the less obvious options. When one of our dishes arrived a bit off from what we expected, Abraham handled it with such grace and care, ensuring it was made right—and he did so with kindness and good humor. The pacing of the meal was flawless—never rushed, never long waits. Every course arrived in time for us to savor what preceded it. Drinks were refilled, special requests fulfilled, and he had excellent suggestions for wine pairings and dessert that turned out to be highlights. Beyond service mechanics, Abram personality elevated the experience. He had a warm presence, genuine interest in ensuring our enjoyment, and a light touch of humor that made us laugh. It felt like being hosted by someone who truly cares. Lyla already offers beautiful ambiance, inventive food, and an elegant but relaxed atmosphere—and Abraham made all of that shine even brighter. We left feeling delighted and will absolutely return. Five stars isn’t enough when someone delivers service like his.

I had an amazing dining experience at Lyla while visiting from Chicago! The food was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. But what really made the evening special was our server, Gerson. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations that took our meal to the next level. You can tell he truly cares about providing an exceptional experience. Highly recommend Lyla for anyone looking for authentic Italian food and outstanding service — ask for Gerson when you go!

Drinks: I regretted ordering my lemon drop, as it was terrible. So syrupy that I ended up sending back. The other 3 girls agreed the drinks were not good and they did not finish them. Food: honestly mid to below average for a “nice” restaurant. The spicy orecchiette was not spicy and the sauce reminded me of canned tomato soup watered down. Service: we had a reservation, but had to wait a few minutes for the table. Service was slow. I kept trying to get our servers attention and she’d walk right by. Atmosphere: beautiful decor, but could not hear the person across from us as it’s SO LOUD! This is a spot you go for the aesthetics only. They also wouldn’t split checks for my group of 8, but this is common for these types of places. Note: if you want amazing drinks, go across the street to Mi Cocina! Food there is also better.

My friend suggested this place for my birthday since they stayed open a bit later on a Thursday and I’m glad she did. The food was good, I just wish it was a bigger portion of it. I got a pasta with salmon as my protein and I also got to try their lamb meatballs which were 100/10! There wasn’t a crowd when we went so we could sit where we pleased. Indoor and outdoor area decor was very cute and neat. Our server Andre was really sweet and helpful! He was really nice, provided great suggestions and overall great service. The mango sorbet was delicious!

Gerson was amazing tonight! Ordered the short rib pappardelle and the whipped eggplant. Loved every bit of our service. First time here will definitely be back ❤️

I went in for brunch on a Saturday afternoon. The atmosphere and environment was light, bright, and airy. The staff was very friendly and accommodating to my food allergies. I custom ordered a Caesar salad with blackened salmon and my boyfriend got the Lyla breakfast. Let me tell you, this Caesar salad was a foodie treat, and I will absolutely be ordering it again. The lettuce was fresh as was the shredded Parmesan. The dressing was also quite flavorful. But the salmon?! While most upscale restaurants tend to overcook it leaving it dry, Lyla’s blackened salmon was *perfectly* cooked, and *perfectly* seasoned. My boyfriend loved the bacon and said his potatoes were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Well done. A foodie’s five stars. Highly recommend to anyone in Dallas.

Really nice ambiance and the food was really good too!!! My friend and I got pasta and it was Divine! The service was also exceptional as well!
