Inside Navy Pier - ample paid parking - they validate! I had the peach margarita (YUM!) and corn dip. The waitress was very fun and kind knowledgeable about the menu recommended great drinks. The restroom was clean and well stocked.
A surprisingly nice option on navy pier. I think it's associated with the hotel but we didn't know that when we made reservations. We mentioned we were seeing a show at Chicago Shakespeare and got 20% off our bill. Nice touch. Sandwich was very large. My husband enjoyed the caprese salad with salmon (a nice sized piece of salmon). We wanted the mussels but we were told not to eat mussels from anywhere right now due to some unspecified issue. We were surprised but chose not to challenge the server so got the grilled octopus instead. It was ok. Slightly overcooked but not enough to complain.
This restaurant is located on the 1st floor right next to the check in desk of the hotel. It a convenient breakfast stop the day we checked out. Plenty of seating. It was a nice view of the water and the sky line. Coffee was fresh and tasted great. I ordered the Lox and Bagel with no onions. It was delicious and perfect for a day of travel.
Plenty of indoor seating (for a late Friday night). Great service as a result! Items we ordered as of 8/2025: - Milk Braised Pork Shoulder - $30 - Decent though the turmeric cream sauce wasn't as flavorful as expected. Pork shoulder was decently tender. Would pass in the future. - Spicy Rigatoni - $23 (+ $12 for shrimp addition) - This was delicious. The rigatoni was good perfectly and the tomato cream was perfectly balanced. Shrimps were very large and well worth the extra $12. We would order this again! - Ceviche Tostada - $14 - Not bad and while the presentation is interesting, breaking the tostada to eat the thing was a bit of a hassle. It would probably be better with the Ceviche on the side and using the Tostada to scoop it instead of what they did here. - Key Lime Pie - $14 - Nice zest from the limes! We enjoyed this as the perfect palate cleanser after our meal.
This restaurant is located at the lobby of the Sable hotel at Navy Pier. I like how convenient it is to have a good restaurant at the hotel lobby because sometimes you are just too tired to go out of your way to dine. Service is friendly. I went here for lunch and for after dinner dessert and I got to consistent warm and friendly treatment from the staff. I enjoyed their food, particularly the spicy rigatoni and calamares. They also served a chocolate crème brûlée topped with strawberry which I surprisingly enjoyed (I was skeptical as this was chocolate flavored). It was heavier and denser than a regular brûlée but delicious nonetheless. My friends tried the lobster roll and they weren't too impressed by it. Ambiance is casual with a view of the lake.
Everything here is always great, delicious, served promptly, spaced out as requested, wonderful service. Perfect for pre-theater because they always make sure to get us done in time without rushing. Mussels are amazing as are the empanadas. Cocktails are creative & refreshing. Key lime pie delightful but more surprising was dark chocolate creme brûlée; just gorgeous. Our go-to place at Navy Pier. And discount if you're seeing a show at Chicago Shakespeare!
Came to have dinner. Once we were sat down we order whole branzino, braised beef, ahi tuna and apple cobbler. The service was not that good, had to wait to get my order place. Then when I got my fish, it was not cooked. Thought they will make another fish, but they just recook it on the stove. It was ok. This restaurant is Spanish cuisine, there isn't much flavor. I would say the tuna and apple cobbler were the one I like so far.
Came here for dinner. Ordered the spicy rigatoni, latin burger, & mac and cheese. The food was pretty good, flavorful besides the mac and cheese. Could have used more seasoning. The one thing that I did not like was the service. They could definitely be more friendly, the service felt cold and as if we just needed to get out of there as quickly as possible.
It's a beautiful restaurant in the hotel on the Navy pier. Service at this restaurant was incredibly slow despite it not being busy at all. Prices at this restaurant are ridiculous. $22 for a burger and fries. The burger was pretty standard. Nothing special there.
Rating: 4.1/5 [cocktails only] We ordered two cocktails at the bar, and they were delicious. The drinks came out quickly and were expertly prepared, but they lacked complexity, making the price feel pretty steep. Pear Martini ($18): Absolut Pear, lemon, simple syrup. A minimal ingredient list, but the bartender mastered this drink. I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did--it was actually really good. The pear flavor was prominent but not overwhelming. Oaxacan Old Fashioned ($20): Mezcal Unión, Altos Añejo, agave, Angostura & mole bitters. I love this take on an Old Fashioned--smooth and not too bold, making it easy to enjoy.
Located in the Navy Pier/Sable Hotel, it was nice to have a restaurant located right at the hotel. I dined here for breakfast, lunch and dinner during my stay at The Sable. I tried the calamari, empanadas, two egg breakfast, steak burger, breakfast potatoes, and the greek yogurt. All were prepared well and tasted really good. The empanadas were my least favorite, the filling may have been better in a quiche or something, but the filling did not taste good to me. My favorites were the steak burger and the breakfast potatoes. Prices are way up there, yogurt was $10, steak burger either $22 or $25 and it comes with fries. The breakfast potatoes were $6 and the calamari was $19. Prices and menu can be found on their website. I would return only if staying in the hotel again. As for service, everyone was really friendly and food did not take very long to come out once ordered.
Had breakfast here for two days during a weekend getaway. The service is pretty fast. The view is amazing! We tried the egg Benedict, avocado toast, yogurt parfait, breakfast burrito and French toast. The decaf we got is pretty good. Avocado toast is generally very hard to mess up, however, it really disappointed me. Pouched egg is fine, but the cherry tomatoes on top are freezing cold, which I don't understand. Thankfully the yogurt parfait was good. Our bill for the first morning had an automatic 18% tip surcharge that I almost didn't catch. It's literally two of us. I got cured by the French toast the next morning. It was truly delicious, fresh, hot, soft, chewy. The mascarpone cheese is the perfect garnish.
Great service. Delicious food. Beautiful patio. We had the eggs your way, breakfast burrito and avocado toast with some coffee. It was all perfect and I'm picky! Scrambled eggs were perfect. Soft and not over cooked. Bacon wasn't too salty and thick. My husband loved the avocado toast and my 10 year old finished his burrito. Potatoes were delicious and crispy. Overall the best breakfast I've had in awhile.

I had breakfast here this morning and tried the Prosciutto Benedict and the Berry Chia bowl. I will say that I was expecting a lot more chia seeds than what I received, but otherwise it included a good serving of berries. The Prosciutto Benedict was good, and generously sized. I didn't finish it; definitely could have been shared between two people. Service was quick and very friendly this morning. It's a nice place to enjoy a meal in the morning, while looking out at the lake. read more

The only reason we stopped here was due to walking the entire pier and we were thirsty. I thought it would also be nice to have a drink and stare out to the ocean since nothing was open outside anywhere on the pier. To enter, it was confusing because there were several entrance doors and it was so bright outside that we could not see inside. Another customer walked up and thought the same thing. A staff member from the inside came out to greet us and guide us through the proper door. We made our way to the bar and sat. The bartender made his way towards us and gave us menus. We were just planning to drink so we quickly reviewed the drink portion of the menu. I ordered the Canela Apricot Margarita and hubs ordered a beer. I love apricots and was excited to try a drink with apricot, since it's very rare. Our drinks arrived soon after and that's it. No, hey let me know if you need anything or would you like to order food. We finished our drinks and left without planning to come back. Maybe during the colder months, some of the staff is not of great quality but everyone else we interacted with were wonderful. read more

We were staying at the Hilton Sable Navy Pier hotel after a long day exploring Chicago so we decided to eat dinner at their on-site Lirica restaurant. The dining room had a nice view of the lake and the Spanish inspired ambiance was very relaxing. The Scottish Salmon special was excellent as well as the fried calamari. The service exceeded our expectations due to the efforts of Breann, who answered all of our questions and made our dining experience the highlight of our day. read more

This place is a chill relaxing vibe the air conditioner made this place a calm.... Soon as we set down we were served water that was nice!!! I wasn't really hungry so I opt for the BLT it was good tomatoes were fresh and lettuce was crisp they give a large portion of fries they delicious I'm not really a fry person but these were served hot and fresh had a nice crunchiness. My friend had the steak burger lettuce onions Swiss cheese tomatoes he liked the mustard sauce that was on burger,came with fries and a pepper ( which I ate lol) the prices were decent in comparison to other places in Chicago!!! The bathroom was spotless!!! I've been to several establishments and this place is #1 for bathroom cleanliness omg!!! The place gets a 9/10 friendliest, cleanness, prices just right food on point and how cool ( temperature wise) it was. I forgot to say it's attached to a hotel mad I forgot name of hotel I'd like to stat there!!! read more
Lirica at the Sable hotel on Navy Pier is an adorable spot with great views. As a hotel guest, the convenience is unbeatable with the added bonus of a bar that serves up a really good old fashioned. The ambiance is a balance between current contemporary trends and being traditional, perfect for the Navy Pier. It's decorated with Spanish and Caribbean vibes. I sat at the bar and had a drink. I didn't try the food. The next morning, the breakfast buffet was plentiful and had many options like avocado toast, eggs, sausage, bacon, yogurts and pastries. read more
The food, drinks and service were amazing! We are not easy to impress, but they sure did it! We had Fernando as our bartender. He was spot on with our drinks. We had the Mushroom and goat cheese tartine and the bacon wrapped dates - wow!!! The location is also beautiful. Highly recommended! read more

We stayed at the Sable hotel at Navy Pier and were told to check out Lirica restaurant, which is located inside navy pier. I was hesitant due to the mediocre reviews, but after dining here twice, I'm not really sure why there were so many bad reviews. We had dinner here first, just walked in without a Rez and were quickly sat at one of the lovely booths in the middle. Our server was really great, super friendly, attentive, and quick. We had the straciatella (this was my fave with the Marcona almonds and amazing focaccia), fried calamari (the actual calamari was good, didn't love the dipping sauce tho), potatas bravas (huge portion, quite tasty), and bacon wrapped dates (also delicious). We really enjoyed this meal, so much that we decided to come back in the morning for breakfast. At breakfast, our server was also great, very quick and friendly. We had the omelette and steak and eggs. The steak and eggs were really good, steak was tender and juicy. The omelette was good, I just wished it had another vegetable in it, perhaps mushrooms? Overall, we really enjoyed our meals here. I can imagine it being even better in the summer when the weather's nice out. The pricing wasn't that bad/overpriced considering this restaurant being located on navy pier. I would gladly come back to eat here if we ever stay at the sable hotel again. read more

Food was great and the service wasn't bad. I wish there was more items to choose from on the menu but I'd definitely come back for more! read more
This would be the definition of mediocre. Nothing here is gonna be the "best" of anything or even something you would remember but you won't get sick eating here. However, for the price, i wouldn't recommend it unless you have credit you want to spend here. The servers are a hit or miss but even when they are a hit, they just come once/twice max and you have to flag them for refills. Being that close to the water is probably the only thing going for them. read more
Really nice restaurant with a beautiful view and we were able to be seated immediately (we came for breakfast). The menu isn't too extensive but there is still a good variety. Everything is plated beautifully and tastes good. But I do wish the servings were bigger. read more

We had the Lirica salad and Spicy Rigatoni which were pretty good. The salad was...a salad. And the Spicy Rigatoni was good even though it's not spicy at all. Service was amazing. We had 4 different people ask us if we were okay in the span of 5 mins. A bit much, but I can appreciate it. We even got to see the Navy Pier fireworks as we dined. read more
We didn't have reservations but were seated right away. I ordered a glass of cava but the waitress initially brought out the wrong drink, some sort of martini cocktail. Anyways, she could probably sense the distress on my face & quickly brought out the correct drink. The food was pretty good. I ordered my "girl meal", a Caesar salad and fries. I would come back here on a not so crowded night. The views were perfect. read more

My family came down from the Sable Hotel for some breakfast - and the service is what stole the show. My mom is a vegan for some health reasons and had a little trouble finding options other than a fruit cup. Mishell took care of us! She created a mini salad for my mom with chopped up onions, peppers, avocado, spinach, tomato, and salsa. Every accommodation was considered and the care behind the service was superb. Thank you Mishell - give her a raise!!! With my food - I got the Eggs Your Way and was really happy with the flavors and presentation. Filled me up (both my tummy and my heart). Make sure you stop here if you're at navy pier!! read more
We were in town for a volleyball tournament and this restaurant was on the pier and a perfect location for us to grab a bite before the day's games kicked off. We chose to eat outside and enjoy the beautiful view and people watch while we waited for the rest of our group to arrive. We started with the small plates of stracciatella and bacon wrapped dates and I must say we were surprised and very pleased with our choices. They were actually even quite filling. Where I would say it all went wrong was the service. Our waitress seemed to make it a habit of disappearing and not being able to be found. Then when we would ask for help from other staff, they would reply as if they were going to assist us but then they disappeared too. Then it would be another 15 minutes before our waitress would come to check on us. This happened about 3 or 4 different times to the point where we were even waiting 20 minutes just to pay. I even recognized that we weren't the only table going through this with differed staff. I tried to consider that maybe they were busy, but it wasn't full in the restaurant inside or outside and it is the Navy Pier so you would think they were used to regular traffic. We still ordered other plates because we were socializing with another family, but we weren't at ask happy with the service. read more
