Came to celebrate daughters birthday. Definitely a beautiful restaurant. We were seated on the patio and it was lovely. Robert , the waiter, was very sweet and friendly. Food was beautifully presented and it was pretty good. Truffle fries were a star at our table. Loved my halibut. Majority of the time it was a good experience. The only thing was , when we came in the front was polite but not super friendly.

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.

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!

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.
