Enjoyed a business lunch meeting on a weekday here. Initially, our table was not ready despite having a reservation so we were seated at the bar. Not a big deal, we then were moved to our table for two which was very comfortable. Service was great, food was prepared fresh and fast. I enjoyed the salad with salmon while my colleague had a chicken sandwich and fries. Interior is well designed and chic, high ceilings, although we found we could hear conversations next to us. One of many dining options nearby and certainly worth at least one visit.

Although they were 25 minutes late seating us for our reservation, Bolade made our birthday celebration wonderful. The ambiance and the location were perfect.

As always, going to Lyon Hall is special. In addition to the lovely food, drinks and atmosphere, we get treated with kindness. Every time we go there. Thanks to the staff who took care of us this time: Edwin and Yulia. And all the others that usually do. It's always appreciated.

One of the best meals of my life. Service, vibe, food, cocktail were all impeccable but in a completely not pretentious way. Every bite on the tasting menu was complex and flavorful, that left you considering and thinking after each bite. It was simply SO GOOD.
