    Wonderful as always! The new menu is carefully curated by their new chef and leaves us wanting to try all the dishes! We will be back soon.

    Food was pretty good. Omelette a little too salty. Waiters seemed busy. Fast service but harried. Our main issue was we didn’t know brunch had a live DJ with VERY LOUD music. Lyle should list that on their website (or more prominently) - call it “Live DJ Brunch” or something like that. You can’t really hear any conversation at your table. I’m sure some people love that vibe, but not us!

    Great service as always and food was great! Would be nice to have a couple more non fish/shellfish items on the menu given the allergy I have but the food is amazing none the less. Really appreciated the birthday dessert as well!

    Lyle’s accommodates a variety of dietary issues deliciously. Attentive service and quiet vibe so you can actually hear your dining companions over breakfast. Lovely decor in a beautiful hotel.
