Lyla Lila Atlanta Reviews
Cozy spot for delicious pastas and dessert
We stopped by this restaurant one night on our way back to our hotel for a quick drink for us and dessert for our kids. The atmosphere was perfect for a cold night - warm, cozy, and comfortable. Our drinks were good and we got the kids a handmade ice cream sandwich with cherry ice cream. It was so good we ordered a second for the table. We visited again a few nights later and celebrated our kids 6th birthday here. Their pastas are fresh and delicious, our kids all enjoyed the Casio e Pepe and of course more ice cream sandwiches with cherry ice cream. They were even nice enough to put a candle in the ice cream. It’s not a restaurant I would typically bring our kids to but it was perfect for a special occasion like a birthday.
Their drinks are pretty good, we got three of them to start
Their drinks are pretty good, we got three of them to start with. Love that you can do half size portions of the pasta so i got the duck lasagna and another dish. Pasta was pretty good, and for dessert I got the affogato which was sooo strong in a good way. Parking was hassle to find but that's just everywhere in this area.
This place is fancy! Service and atmosphere were on point!
This place is fancy! Service and atmosphere were on point! They have great drinks and wine. The peach and tomato salad was delicious, so refreshing. The fried artichoke was really good.
Lyla Lila is phenomenal, and all the good things people say
Lyla Lila is phenomenal, and all the good things people say are true. You must go! You will need reservations, especially if it's a Broadway night or an event at the Fox Theater. I've now been here four times, and it never disappoints. The service is always five stars! They make sure you will make it to the Broadway show on time. Their menu is seasonal, so you might not be able to have what we eat, but know it will be amazing. We start with a cocktail, and by now we've had everyone on the menu, including the nonalcoholic ones, as one of my friends doesn't drink alcohol. There isn't one that we wouldn't drink again. We always eat family-style to have more variety on the menu because we want to try everything. I will share what we had the last time. We started with rosemary ciabatta with citrus-chili butter. The broccoli and fennel salad, olives, pistachios, banana peppers, oregano, and provolone will dance in your mouth. The tuna crudo with strawberries and fennel was a unique combination of flavors. There were four of us and we shared three pastas. This was the first time I had cold scallops, and absolutely loved them. The squid ink spaghetti with rock shrimp was my favorite, but the cacio e pepe ravioli was a close second.
Service was good, but atmosphere felt judgy and forced.
I'm not someone who cares too much about price as long as the food is respectable, however that was not the case here. I felt as though when I was ordering, I was really taking a shot in the dark as to what was going to come out. As for the portion sizes, they were very mediocre compared to what I would get at an actual fine dining establishment. I think it's definitely worth a shot if you're into the floaty atmosphere and instagram worthiness, however this wasn't my cup of tea. Still, service was great.
Menu was very misleading.
We thought we were getting mozzarella sticks but were surprised to see a salad come out. Ordering felt like I was picking from a hat. Service was nice, menu was just very misleading. The atmosphere was also nice in the restaurant, we were just caught off guard by what was being served.
Ahhhhmazing
Amazing. My girlfriends and I who eat well reguarly all noted this was one of our most memorable meals in a while. We had the crispy artichokes, to die for, the broccoli salad which two of us really enjoyed but was different than I expected more of a ceasar but with broccoli and fennel. Also did the buffalo mozzarella caveleteli ravioli which was dreamy. I would next time do the pasta flight. We also did the mushroom side also amazing. Portions were really good.
Lyla Lila has gone downhill
This was our 4th visit. The previous three have been excellent. This time, despite making a reservation a month ago, we got seated in the bar at a bar table with worn off varnish, no tablecloth, uncomfortable. Someone paying $300+ for dinner should never be relegated to the bar at dingy table. Waitress was attentive and pleasant, but entrees took almost an hour. When my scallops arrived they were cold and inedible, and had obviously been sitting while the other entree (which we were told takes 15 minutes to prepare) was being prepared. We were comped for the delay (free dessert) and not charged for the scallops. The manager was polite. But, the experience leaves me thinking that Lyla Lila has gone downhill. Sadly we won’t return.
Food is amazing!!! Service is awful though, literally
Food is amazing!!! Service is awful though, literally everyone's energy from the servers to the bartenders to the hostess are all off and quite rude. I have been here 10+ times because the food is awesome but every single time i have had a rude experience from atleast one person at Lyla. Whomever is doing the hiring process should reevaluate how they are training their employees, it's as if everyone feels they are doing you a favor instead of making you feel welcome. Working in the tv/film space I've frequently brought very special people to me and/or high value people to Lyla and not once has anyone had a great experience outside of the food. Everyone always notices the fake smile in your face and walk away rolling eyes talk about you in the kitchen energy. If you like really great food and can tolerate the arrogant and pretentious energy the staff have and how they treat their guest so be it.... But there are some really amazing restaurants around Atlanta that have a warm welcoming energy to them like Kevin Rathbuns, Deer & the Dove, Marcel, KR Steakbar, Kimball house etc. Will not be returning after many attempts. I've given up on this place.
Fantastic ambience, knowledgeable and attentive staff,
Fantastic ambience, knowledgeable and attentive staff, inventive and delicious food. We were there to celebrate our niece's graduation from law school.
Great spot for a fun date night or to hang out with
Great spot for a fun date night or to hang out with friends! Parking can be a nightmare if you don't have a go to deck/street to use since they don't really have designated parking (the two lots suggested on the site are pretty expensive). Ubering is also a pretty decent idea especially if there's an event at fox. The inside of the restaurant is super nice and deceptively large, with a few dining rooms. Our service was great too and everything came out very quickly. We started with the ciabatta bread with their homemade spiced butter. It was absolutely amazing and will definitely be getting it every time I go! We then had our own pasta tour with 4 plates of pasta since they can do 60% of most pasta dishes at 60% of the price. I think 3 would have been the perfect amount, but it was nice having more variety to try. 1. Wagyu beef truffle ravioli - the BEST! I loved their truffle sauce and the beef was super tender 2. Duck lasagna - super tasty and came with a side of carrots. 3. Squid ink pasta - usually not a fan but the one at Lyla Lila is so good! Loved the addition of nduja and garlic butter breadcrumbs. 4. Cavatelli - pretty disappointing and why Lyla doesn't get 5 stars for me. This was my fiances top choice when looking at the menu and he was sooo glad we ended up sharing pasta instead of getting our own haha I'll definitely be back to get the ravioli again and to try some of their other dishes!
Service, impeccable and friendly! The citrus chili butter
Service, impeccable and friendly! The citrus chili butter that comes with the bread is out of this world. We shared the smaller portions of wagyu ravioli, cacio e Pepe and duck ravioli. All 3 amazing!
From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed warmly and was
From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed warmly and was allowed to choose my seat from a few of the banquettes as I was alone and they weren't yet too busy. The ambiance was intimate but casual at the same time with first a fun selection of ABBA music playing and then some jazz tunes. My server came over immediately and was attentive the entire meal, checking on me frequently. I ordered the tuna crudo as an appetizer which was absolutely heavenly, the tuna pairing wonderfully with the strawberry and just melting in my mouth, then the cacio e pepe for my entree (which I did find a bit too peppery but it was ok) with a wonderful red wine as an accompaniment. For dessert, I ordered the affogato which is one of my favorite treats and I was actually disappointed that they cooled the espresso before adding it to the cinnamon ice cream as I usually enjoy that juxtaposition of hot and cold in every bite. I took home some other desserts for my friends which were very much enjoyed- the lemon cheesecake, the chocolate mousse cake with orange caramel sauce and the tiramisu. All in all a very delightful experience.
Great Dinning Experience in Mid-Town
Excellent location if you are looking for a fine dinning place in the heart of ATL mid-town. Great range of Italian food and meet our expectation. Warm and friendly staff with the right pace. Reservation is highly recommended. The only constructive feedback is there is no coffee bean on my espresso martini 🍸 but my drink was well balanced :)
Well above the rest
Excellent restaurant and service. Grace was our sever and could not been better - excellent recommendations all thru dinner ! We started with the smoked cold scallops - amazing dish with excellent presentation. We also had the lettuce salad, the beef carpaccio, and the amazing shaved Brussels and fennel salad with olives. For mains we had the squid ink pasta dish, the grilled snapper dish which was tender and tasty, the seafood pasta dish, and the scallops and shrimp. All excellent. For desert we shared the meyer lemon cheesecake and their gelato ice cream sandwich. Both excellent, with the i e cream sandwich being the standout. Highly recommend this restaurant, and our server Grace. Will be back and request her be our server next time
Lovely dinner!
We really enjoyed our first visit to Lyla Lila! Very good cocktails to start, enjoyed with the yummy buffalo mozzarella. The bread was a special treat - salty, crunchy edges with a delicious molasses spiced butter. I had the crispy duck lasagna and husband had the waygu ravioli with black truffles...chef's kiss! Finished with the olive oil cake, which was lovely. Service was very nice and the hostess was most accommodating when we asked to switch tables due to a bit of a draft from the front door on a chilly night. We can't wait to come back!
The food was so well curated.
Really enjoyed every dish and its unique flavors. Russell our waiter had wonderful energy and brought color and excitement to each course. Highly recommend!
Delicious and unique
Very fun atmosphere with a fairly wide, unique menu. Food was wonderful, especially the cavatelli ragu, snapper dish and wagyu beef ravioli! Service was fast, attentive and very knowledgeable.
What a fantastic place for a fancy dinner!! It's not so
What a fantastic place for a fancy dinner!! It's not so fancy that you feel like you need to wear something extra special, but it isn't casual. The pasta dishes are amazing and you can get a 60% dish at 60% the original price, so you can try more or just have less and room for dessert. Service was great too. Parking is available in parking garages nearby or on the street. Get the artichokes and martini!!!!!
Lyla Lila lived up to the hype! Super lucky to go check it
Lyla Lila lived up to the hype! Super lucky to go check it out and explore a lot of the options on the menu. The food was great, the drinks were great, the service was great! Our server Stafford was by far one of my favorites servers I've ever had. We made the experience even better. The items we ordered was the cold smoked scallops, calamari, rack of lamb, wagyu beef ravioli, and the duck lasagna! Everything tasted fantastic. -The scallops came out with the lid on and the smoked inside the dish so they did the fancy lid removal and spinning of the smoke. Wasn't expecting that (I'm good without that attention you get from the rest of restaurant). Minus that the scallops were super delish. -The pesto with the calamari was super flavorful. -The wagyu beef and truffle ravioli made my heart happy. Best ravioli I've ever had and the cheese was so fresh tasting! -They are apparently known for the duck lasagna which I get now. It was quite tasty however it's a very filling dish. Reminded me of a holiday dish. -Last and definitely not least the Rack of Lamb, chefs kiss! This dish was my favorite of them all. The lamb was perfectly cooked and the sauces paired with it couldn't have been anymore perfect!!! Overall, great experience at Lyla Lila. Can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu.
We have been going to Lyla Lila since it opened and love it.
I just wanted to comment that the "supper club" they offer was beyond disappointing. Don't waste your money.
First visit! Excellent!
In Atlanta for the Rolling Stones concert. Read about Lyla Lila in TripAdvisor. It was a 2 minute walk from our hotel. We were welcomed like regular customers and treated as such. Excellent service. We were given some complimentary bubbles for our anniversary, and I ordered an excellent cocktail, Fists of Fury. We started with the ciabbata bread with chili butter. It was nice and crusty. We shared the smoked mushrooms, and we each had ravioli. She had peppercorns, and I had the Waygu beef with black truffles. All of it was to die for! Excellent wine and the ice cream sandwich for dessert. Couldn't have asked for a better meal and experience. Will definitely be back on our next visit to Atlanta!
Parking is very difficult in this area so we ubered.
The place fills up fast so reservation, especially in the weekend, is highly recommended. The ambience and decor are elegant from floor to ceiling. There are some black vents on the ceiling that look strangely dirty and out of the picture, but I guess no one care to look up as much. Once I saw them, I couldn't unseen them. The service is professional and nice. The food is on the high price but it makes sense for the midtown location and the upscale restaurant. We had: - Broccoli & fennel salad: it's better to get a small portion if you plan to try several other dishes. We got the small portion and there's still a lot. - Crispy artichoke: super crunchy, like snack chip crunch. As much as I like the texture, the taste is too salty for me. - Calamari from the grill: fresh squid but the flavor is a mix of very salty, a hint of spiciness and bitterness where the charcoal burnt are. This dish doesn't work for me either. - Wagyu beef and black truffle ravioli: this dish is the star. - Squid ink spaghetti: the spaghetti texture is kind of chewy and not al dente. It's also over seasoning to my taste. - Ice cream sandwich with amarena cherry gelato and magic shell: this dessert is a star and highlight of the whole meal. All in all, the menu is a hit and miss to me personally. But the restaurant itself deserve good rating with tasty cuisine, and nice ambience. I still recommend the place.
Went there for a higher end date night while on the
Went there for a higher end date night while on the vacation. Our waiter was incredibly engaged and attentive. Very sleek ambiance. We ordered the calamari, the crispy duck lasagna and the cacio e pepe. All very good, but the cacio was the star.
Russell was our server for the evening, and my daughter and
Russell was our server for the evening, and my daughter and I had an amazing experience. Every course was exceptional. The waiter was personable, charming, and had a great personality. The restaurant was efficient and spectacular in their delivery of dishes. We started with the bread service and a chopped broccoli and fennel salad. My daughter had a perfectly cooked rack of lamb, while I enjoyed the Wagyu steak and truffle ravioli. We finished with chai tea and a beautifully crafted lemon cheesecake.
Forget the salad and main course - the blueberry cheesecake
Forget the salad and main course - the blueberry cheesecake is AMAZING. Service was very attentive. Ambiance was intimate, upscale and classy. Parking was kind of a nightmare. Due to (I think?) construction no cars were allowed to enter the deck in between Lyla and Georgian Terrace. There is a lot directly across from Lyla, but availability will depend on what's going on at the Fox. It cost $16 for about 3.5 hours. If it's an event night, plan ahead to find an alternative parking solution.
Wow, I was absolutely blown away by the quality of food
Wow, I was absolutely blown away by the quality of food here. They source their food from a local farm and have a rotating menu based on the produce. The decor and ambiance is tasteful. Service was attentive and pleasant. Probably the best Italian inspired restaurant I've been to, period. Crispy artichokes: the presentation was stunning. I liked the deep flavor of the stems, but felt the dish was quite one-noted. The cheese spread at the bottom of the plate was interesting, but I felt the fish roe was underutilized (in fact I couldn't taste any flavor from it but noticed it was there from the menu description). Wood grilled mushrooms: these were grilled to perfection which drew out a wonderful umami flavor from the mushrooms. There was a thicker mushroom and some enoki style ones - both were excellent. The truffle aioli was the cherry on top. Honestly I didn't know mushrooms could taste like this! Crispy duck lasagna: 13 layers of nicely cooked pasta topped with a delightfully crispy top since it's flash fried, then finished in the oven. The bechemel could've been more flavorful, and I could barely taste the duck. However, the carrot puree was lovely, along with the carrot and radish on the size. Portion size is big enough to feed 2-3 people, which I felt was incredibly generous of the restaurant. Cavatelli with pork ragu and tiger prawns: the pasta was made in-house and cooked perfectly. The pork was savory and tender. The prawns felt a little unnecessary as the dish would've held its own without them, but they were cooked well and I always love extra protein. Portion size was also quite sizable for this dish; we had leftovers. Tiramisu: I thought they dusted extra cocoa power for decor but it turned out to be chocolate shavings which was neat! The coffee flavor is quite strong to the point where it initially tastes too bitter, but as you eat more, it gradually balances out. I enjoyed the large-ish dark chocolate bits they included, which made for a sophisticated flavor. Definitely blows Cafe Intermezzo out of the water, no contest. Lemon cheesecake: much sweeter than the tiramisu but the lemon flavor was highlighted prominently. I enjoyed the extra creme fraiche on top with the lemon shavings, and the bluberries were huge, plump, and sweet. Definitely gave farm-to-table vibes! Overall, extremely impressed and thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. I got a few peeks into the kitchen as waitstaff were walking in and out, and it looked beautiful. They even had a table near the door with a lamp about 2 feet above the table (presumably for plating?) which gave the kitchen some beautiful lighting.
This meal was such a delight! Our favorite dishes of the
This meal was such a delight! Our favorite dishes of the evening were everything. Seriously, so hard to choose! We had the bread--fresh and steaming hot--the peach salad--really loved the saltiness of the pesto with the creaminess of the mozz and the surprise of the peach/beet mix. For our mains we did the small versions of the rabbit/mortadella tortellini and the duck lasagna. I'm glad that I tried the lasagna, and I liked it, but it was my least favorite dish of the evening. The tortellini, though, were so rich and fresh. The consommé took it to a much more nuanced and delicious taste. Next we had the snapper and the risotto--such a lovely pairing recommended by our server, Russell. Each of these dishes were rich, perfectly seasoned, and so savory! For dessert we shared the ice cream sandwich--it's a bit of a mess once you break into it, but we managed to eat it without getting any chocolate on ourselves, and honestly, the mess was part of the fun. I really enjoyed the ambiance--it was attractive without feeling stuffy. Russell was incredibly charming and fun, and it really did feel like we were getting in-house advice from a friend who loved his job and was happy to share it. Can't wait to go back!
Very nice contemporary cucine
Nice contemporary version of Italian classics. A lot of past dishes. Very refined taste for all courses. Nice and attentive service. The only negatives were the large abundance of butter in every dish i picked, and the qualities of the desserts
Incredible experience! My boyfriend and I came here for our
Incredible experience! My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary, and the food selection was amazing. Delicious scallops, divine dessert, every course was impressive. Well worth the money and the service was incredible. Try the cocktails!
Decor and ambiance is romantic and perfect for a date.
Service was a bit slow so don't go hungry. The appetizers were good but nothing mind blowing or memorable. Cold smoked scallops was clean to the taste. The mushroom was buttery but heavy after a while. The food was ok. I got the duck lasagna. The server recommended the smaller portion size which I am glad i did. The lasagna was cheesy and the noodles were thin. The downside was that there wasn't much duck. It felt like I was eating a cheese lasagna. The NY steak as deboned so it was easier to eat. The steak was cooked well and tasty.
Summary: great fine dining experience in midtown Atlanta;
Summary: great fine dining experience in midtown Atlanta; great interior; mostly pasta-drive; great cocktails and wine list; variety of good seating (bar, booth, etc.). Based on two visits a year apart (most recent was March 2024). Big fan of this place. Had the pappardelle with wagyu (with some wine by the glass), duck fat washed bourbon, and ice cream sandwich. Pasta was one of the best meals I've had in Atlanta--firm pasta, generous portion of wagyu, buttery but not overly heavy sauce. I may order it again next, although they change their menu. Bourbon cocktail was wonderful--hope that stays permanently. It's not overly complicated--just think of glass of bourbon but enhanced so that the mouthfeel and texture is thick and dessert-like. Serve on a single large rock with a touch of citrus. I like the ice cream sandwich, but I'd like to try the tiramisu next time. Vibe: love the interior--I can't describe that stuff, so just Google it. Good soundtrack too--mostly more refined 80s (Smiths, Cure, Talking Heads) with classic jazz. One thing--this place looks great in both day and night (the windows). One of my favorite nice places in Atlanta, especially since midtown and downtown don't have that many genuinely good options. Service: Nice and helpful with questions. Also, there's no dress code, but it's nice enough place that (for a guy), you'll want either dress pants or "proper" jeans with a dress shirt. Plenty of guys with blazers here too.
Wonderful experience for an anniversary dinner at Lyla Lila.
The service was attentive and helpful for each selection, be it food or wine. Pasta was very fresh and tasty (rare these days in restaurants) and perhaps the most surprising delight was the Tiramisu - perhaps the best I have had at a restaurant. Another highlight of the restaurant was the space and view. Atlanta often struggles with spaces that provide a true city experience and Lyla works wonders with its position and design. The busy streets and folks walking around (along with very large windows) helped seal the deal. Seating was open but still private and comfortable for a table for two, hard to find these days as well. I will be back!
Exceptional dinner that is perfect for a special
Exceptional dinner that is perfect for a special occasion! First I will recommend going to the Georgian Terrace parking garage. It is $20 but no one in my party was successful in finding another available parking garage in the area. This is the only negative I have about the experience. For appetizers, my group split the ciabatta and broccoli & fennel salad. The butter for the ciabatta was so unique and flavorful, and the salad was a nice refreshing bite before getting into the pasta. For entree, everyone in my party got a half portion of the smoked eggplant caramelle. It was by far the best thing we had and I wish I got a full portion. If you are looking to order a pasta dish, you must get this!!!! Perfect in every way. I also got the snapper. Good flavors but the pesto was concentrated in two bites, I wish it was spread over the whole snapper so it could be in every bite. I had a bite of my friend's duck lasagna. It was phenomenal but so rich -- rich in a good way, but I could definitely not finish the whole thing on my own! Another friend got the cappelletti which was also good, the sauce was the stand out. I am not a dessert person, but they wanted to order some, and I am so glad we did because the dessert was to die for!!!!! We did the chocolate orange mousse cake which was so flavorful, perfect caramel, and then the ice cream sandwich which was out of this world. I am not normally a sweets person but I think it was even better than the caramelle! Overall definitely worth the trip!
Now let me tell yall.
.. that cacio e pepe ravioli was DELICIOUS! I didn't really look at the menu prior to meeting a girlfriend here for an early dinner, but I love homemade pasta so I was down. When I first looked at the men, part of me wasn't completely sold on some dishes for one because I despise mushrooms. But wow I'm glad I went with this classic. The drink was just okay to me, it was the restaurants version of a margarita. Overall the ambience was great, servers were attentive, and I will be back for more cacio e pepe!
We had a party of 2 for dinner at 8 pm on Wednesday, 3/6/24.
We were able to get a reservation the week before, probably because it was the middle of the week, but they were still packed! Paid street parking and other parking garages and lots nearby. Mike D. was our waiter and he was great, along with everyone else who took care of us! We ordered way too much food, but we wanted to try a lot, and we got to take leftovers home. You can get half orders of the pastas, which is a game changer! We got to try more that way. no Here's what we got: - Rosemary Ciabatta Bread ($7): OMGGGG. The molasses-smoked salt butter was divine. It was reminiscent of an Auntie Anne's pretzel in the best way. - Crispy Artichokes ($22): This was the only thing we were both unimpressed with. Didn't feel like there was anything special about it and wouldn't get it again. - Cold Smoked Scallops ($28): Wowow. Super good and unique. Presentation was also cool with the dome of smoke. - Crispy Duck Lasagna (half order, $22): Good! Glad we got a half order because the full one would've been a lot! The carrot-coriander purée was also unexpectedly very good!! At other restaurants, it might've been a thoughtless garnish, but the carrot really freshened up the dish. - Capeletti Ravioli (half order, $23): Very good! - Wagyu Beef and Black Truffle Ravioli (half order, $25): Good, not as heavy as I was expecting. We wish it had been more truffle-forward. But the beef was very tasty! - NY Strip Steak ($65): Good! My picture doesn't do it justice. The potatoes and broccoli were good too. - Wood Grilled Mushrooms ($19): This was amaaaaazing. We got our truffle-forwardness and then some here. Soo good! For dessert, we got Tiramisu ($12) and Chocolate Mousse Cake ($12). Both were delicious! The Tiramisu was huuuge! The espresso ($3.50) was also good! For drinks, I got Atomic Bomb ($17) and Monks Repose ($16). They were good! They gave us free champagne because we were celebrating my husband's birthday and that was also very good. We had a wonderful experience here and would definitely be back to try more!
love love love lyla lila.
our server was so funny chill. she was perfect for our girls night dinner. we ordered a bunch of stuff and split it. the favorite 2 dishes were definitely the crispy artichokes (dont underestimate these) and the herb & spiced pappardelle with wagyu beef cheek. we also got the ice cream sandwich for dessert but honestly all the desserts looked so good. will deff be back!
Fantastic service and food.
The crispy artichokes are a must have! I especially liked that they offered smaller portions of pasta.
I have to admit, because it's in midtown I was skeptical.
There's a lot of hype restaurants in that area and I was scared I was about to blow a check on something we could have made at home... boy was I wrong. Absolutely exceptional restaurant. The food was remarkable, everything we tasted had very rich and deep flavor profiles. We started with the broccoli and fennel salad and it was so wonderfully simple and delicious. Then we got half portions of the duck lasagna and wagyu beef ravioli, which was more than enough to fill us up. My fiancé preferred the duck lasagna but honestly the wagyu beef ravioli was the star to me. I'm sure anything on this menu is enough to write home about. Also, as if that wasn't enough to sell us, our server was easily one of the kindest and most fun servers I've ever had. I left feeling like we got wined and dined by a friend. Living in this city, yall know how much of a treat that is.
My new favorite Italian restaurant in Atlanta.
It lived up to all the hype and was well worth the price. The food was incredible and full of flavor. Service and ambiance were also exceptional. The lasagna still lives rent free in my dreams...
Quality Food and easily located near Fox Theater
The location is located within two blocks of the Fox Theater, making it an excellent choice when attending an event. The menu is compact with really good choices. The duck lasagne, squid ink pasta, and fish were all good. They have a fairly large bar for such a small restaurant. The wine menu is quite pricey. I would like to see more reasonable choices offered under $100 bottle. The service was friendly and attentive.
Delicious dining experience
The food is so savory and delicious! Our server was helpful in making our entree selections. And the ambience was awesome! Can’t wait to return!
Decent food but unprofessional staff
Over all I’d give the food three and a half stars, but the service was very poor. Our waitress was extremely rude and unprofessional, possibly the worse I’ve ever had. Even my teenage boy who usually doesn’t notice anything made a comment. I am surprised how a restaurant that markets itself as an upscale place would hire waiters without proper training.
This is a hidden gem!
Great place! Nice bar.Good selection of wine by the glass. Italian cuisine with a modern touch. Try the cold smoke Scallops. or the white truffle pastas.
Wonderful dining experience.
Wonderful dining experience with excellent service. All the pasta dishes we tried were phenomenal. The desserts were exceptional. The ice cream sandwich was highlight.
One of The Best in ATL Right Now
Very good dinner. Good wait staff. Good wine list. Don't skip having at least one pasta dish, since they make it in-house. Everything was interesting, surprising, good flavors. Found street parking nearby. One of the best things is that it wasn't super loud so we could hear each other talk.
Pricey but Very Good
Located on Peachtree near the Fox Theatre, Lyla Lila is an attractive and buzzy restaurant. Our server, Mike, was helpful with the menu and gave very good and honest suggestions. We started with cocktails. The Soul Vaccination was overly sweet, but the Monk’s Repose was excellent. For food, we started with the Artichoke appetizer which was delicious and the very nice bread service. The mains were Roast Chicken and Snapper, both top rate. For dessert we had the Ice Cream Sando, a great finish to the meal. Even though the meal was delicious, I felt that the pricing was about 20% higher than I would expect. Nevertheless, I would recommend Lyla Lila and I hope to return.
Incredible Experience at Lyla Lila
The atmosphere is hip and spunky! Loved the 80’s music. The service was impeccable. Starting out we had the bread with butter. The butter was amazing. The broccoli and fennel salad was an absolute hit! For the pasta course we had the duck lasagna, corn and rabbit ravioli, cavatelli, and the cacio e pepe! All of the pastas were incredible. So much so that we couldn’t even rank them! For the entree we had the roasted chicken, porclet, and snapper. All of the dishes were delicious. The snapper melted in your mouth. We will definitely be back!
Outstanding dining experience
Outstanding dining experience. We order many different things and shared bites. All of it was prepared to perfection. Snapper was amazing as were the mushrooms and the leek salad. Ice cream sandwich dessert is yummy and fun. Casual atmosphere but sophisticated. Not pretentious. Pleasant staff.
Delicious and upscale
My husband and I ate dinner at Lyla Lila as a belated anniversary meal. We had noted this on our Resy reservation, and both the host and waiter wished us a happy anniversary upon arrival. We ordered wine and prosecco, ciabatta with persimmon butter, duck lasagna and ravioli, and tiramisu and the ice cream sandwich. It was wonderful. I wanted to ask if I could buy a tub of that persimmon butter, it was so good. I wish my portion size for my ravioli had been slightly bigger, because it was a main course that didn't come with meat and wasn't nearly as filling as the duck lasagna that my husband ordered. My only critique for the 'ice cream sandwich' would be to lose the chocolate magic shell coating. It clashed with the flavors of the pistachio gelato and fennel pizzelle and felt cheap. I ended up breaking it open and scraping it away so I wouldn't have to eat it. Otherwise, a great meal with good service and we would come back in a heartbeat.

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Lyla Lila Atlanta at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Lyla Lila Atlanta page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Lyla Lila Atlanta to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Lyla Lila Atlanta!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
