“Chef Hrant Arakelian has built his career cooking all types of cuisines across a range of Nashville restaurants. When it was time to open his own, the Lebanese-born chef returned to his roots, and then updated them. At Lyra, he puts a modern interpretation on Middle Eastern cuisine, meaning a kibbe dish can be made not from raw meat but carrots, and the puffy, steam-filled pita breads might arrive with a lamb merguez-dotted hummus. Go for the reinterpreted classic dishes, like the lamb kefta or an outstanding, whole roasted baba ghanoush, which is satisfyingly familiar and full of rich and earthy spices.”

Seafood & Gulf views draw diners to this laid-back beach eatery with live music & outdoor tables.
