“Our Girls on the Go DFW group had a beautiful time! Hosted 17 women for a mother daughter brunch and Andre was our server. He deserves a raise! He was attentive and kind. Super helpful. Food came out fast, fresh, and hot. Stephanie was amazing with helping us nail down the details and solidify the contract. I asked her a million questions and she never lost patience with me. And Angie (GM) was on site to ensure we were taken care of and all details were handled. Things went smoothly, the food was delicious and beautiful and the ladies had an amazing time. Thanks again, Lyla team!”
“Natalie was the absolute sweetest! The food was fantastic and Natalie recommended some drinks that were also delicious. We ordered the truffle fries, cacio pepe pasta and the pepperoni pizza and I highly recommend all of it”
“I kept seeing LYLA all over my feed so I finally went, and honestly it does feel like you’re not even in Dallas, it’s very like Italian beach club vibes. Service was actually really good, everyone was super nice and even the general manager came over to check on us which I didn’t expect. We got the burrata first and that was easily one of my favorite things. It’s not just a plain burrata, it comes with a bunch of stuff like prosciutto, pistachios, some orange slices, way more going on than I thought. It’s also pretty big so you can share it. And it comes with sliced sourdough bread that’s grilled with olive oil and that part… so good, I loved it. Then we got the cacio e pepe with shrimp. The pasta tasted fresh, like actually homemade, and we added shrimp, it only came with three but they were huge and cooked perfectly. It also had a little truffle in there which made it even better. We also tried the salmon with quinoa and that one surprised me, the sauce under it was really good and they got the temperature right, I asked for medium and it came out perfect. Cocktails were nice too, they have a lot of options and everything looked really good. Overall I’d go back for sure. It’s more about the vibe than just the food. I’ve heard their brunch is really popular too so I wanna try that next.”
“I hosted a bridal shower at over the weekend. Long story short, we had a very last-minute situation where we had to move our event from one of their restaurants so we were scrambling to figure things out and make it work. I just want to say that every single one of the staff involved was absolutely phenomenal, especially America, Gerson, and manager Angie - and the venue was beautiful. We were scrambling to get everything set up on time and multiple staff members came out and helped us with setting up decor, even our balloon arch that we weren't sure was going to work in the new space. The staff made us and every guest feel like a VIP and my friend couldn't get over how wonderful the shower was. We were on the front patio which has a lovely modern tropical vibe that was perfect with our decor. It also has an enclosure and heaters, so even though it was a slightly windy chilly day it worked out perfectly. Everyone went above and beyond, and they let us stay in the event space an hour over our scheduled time and then helped us move to another smaller spot so that my friend could finish opening her gifts while they cleaned up the event space for us. America personally took so much time making sure that every single need we had was taken care of and that we didn't stress or worry about anything. The staff even had a great time, listening into some of our bridal shower games and taking part in the joy of the party. We were initially so stressed when we were told last minute that our event was being moved to another location, but truly it couldn't have worked out better. We ended up getting an even better experience than we probably would've to begin with. I only wish that every time I hosted a party or event that I could have such attentive staff and such a great experience. Thank you again to America, Angie, Gerson and your entire team for making my friend's day an absolutely beautiful success! She will never forget it nor will any of the guests! To the staff, if you would like any of the photos I took for your own sharing, please reach out!”
“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!”
