“ Stopped at Lyla's to celebrate with girlfriends and tried a little of everything on the menu! The drinks were amazing, our appetizers were quick, and the pasta dishes were fresh. ”
“ Finally made it to this amazing place! After two previous reservations I couldn't keep, today we finally enjoyed a lovely brunch--and it was absolutely worth the wait. The atmosphere is so warm, charming, and undeniably Instagrammable! The drinks were delightful, and I ordered the short rib Benedict. It was incredible--tender meat that melts in your mouth, seasoned just right to let the beef's natural flavor shine. The eggs were perfectly poached, and the potatoes were seasoned to perfection. I couldn't get enough! Service was perfect- Thank you! What a wonderful experience! I will defintly be back for dinner one day for sureA ”

The moment you step inside, you're transported to a small coastal italian villa. The decor is chic and modern, with beautiful lighting and a stunning olive tree in the middle of the dining room. The food is equally impressive. All of the coastal italian inspired dishes are beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The truffle carbonara is a must-try and the burrata was a fantastic dish. The desserts are unique and the Apple Spice Cake was by far our favorite of the night. The cocktails are also top-notch, with creative and delicious concoctions that will tantalize your taste buds. The espresso martini and lyla were crowd favorites and should be ordered if you visit.

“ Lyla was pretty good!! We got their whipped eggplant and burrata to start. I loveeeeeeed the whipped eggplant but thought the burrata was nothing special. For entrees we split spicy orecchiette pasta and Caesar salad. The salad was delish and the croutons were fun. The pasta was great, good heat and perfectly cooked noodles. The ambiance is very cute in there! Sadly we didn't love any of the drinks we got... their martinis are tiny (not even filled to the top of the glass) and we couldn't taste any alcohol in it which is shocking for a martini. Thought it was an expensive drink for what we got. ”
“ This restaurant is so cute and I would definitely go back for the atmosphere! The food and drinks were pretty good and flavorful. I enjoyed their appetizer dishes more than the main pasta dishes. This seems like a trend for me for lot of these pretty restaurants where the small dishes are so much better than the entrees. Service was good and it was very busy on a weekday night (Thursday) so I would make reservations if you can! ”
“ I went to brunch here with my girlies and it did not disappoint! Usually when we go to brunch and the place is cute, we get disappointed by the food , but the food here was pretty good! The Spicy Orecchiette was very flavorful and spicy. Probably one of my favorite spicy vodka pastas I've had to date. The truffle carbonara was pretty good as well, but on the cheesier side, so for those of you who are lactose intolerant, I recommend bringing some lactaid! Beware their drinks are on the pricier side. The food and drinks came out pretty quickly, but we barely saw our server :( Overall, it's a good birthday brunch / girls brunch / date brunch place. Would love to come back and try it for dinner! ”
