The Groove Café brought a public dining spot to Lone Tree’s Lyric neighborhood when it opened at 10930 Lyric St. The city highlighted the business July 22, alongside the new Lyric Amenity Center that opened in June.

The distinction matters for visitors: the café welcomes the public, but the center’s swimming pool, fitness building and resident gathering areas are for Lyric homeowners. The 7,500-square-foot center combines those neighborhood facilities with the café and outdoor seating.

The city described daytime coffee and meal service followed by an evening restaurant and bar operation, with live music among its planned activities. Lyric at RidgeGate is a 700-acre community planned for about 1,900 homes. The July report counted more than 100 completed homes; that figure records the development’s progress at the time, rather than a current occupancy count.
