We always have a great experience at Lyon Hall. The service is spot on and the food is always better than expected. The cocktails are amazing and the ambiance is friendly yet upscale. We’ll always come back to Lyon Hall twice per month.

Food was tasty and servings generous. French fries were too salty for two of us out of three. My husband said that the onion soup was heavenly. Service was excellent, helpful but not intrusive.

I always like Lyon Hall, however, sadly my latte was pretty underwhelming. At first there was no steamed/foamy milk at all, the coffee was luke warm and the waitress spilled it all in the saucer and didn't make an effort to clean it up at all. The food wasn't bad though not as good as the last time I went unfortunately. The french bread was extremely fresh and tasty as always.
