You should have done something else than ask us to leave - ask us to move downstairs, give us a coffee to go, sit us at the bar …. Left a really bad taste in our mouth.

The food was fantastic! The octopus was probably the most tender I have ever had. Loved it with chickpeas and kale. Just try it!

The menu is good and there are always some seasonal changes which keeps it interesting. That said, the food has always been great, service is good, the setting is comfortable, and it is close to home making it even better for me.

After a round of French 75s followed by French onion soup as a first course, my wife enjoyed the mushroom risotto (with a glass of sauvignon blanc), and I enjoyed the rack of lamb (with a glass of cabernet sauvignon). We concluded with the gingerbread roulade and espresso martinis. The food and drinks fired well in all regards. The service was also excellent. Thanks to the kitchen and the team at Lyon Hall for a very nice evening.
