    High quality food and drink, we totally enjoyed our visit. We had the hanger steak and the halibut, both were excellent. Great beer selection (wine too). New favorite in Clarendon.

    Started with great service, and ordered my favorite meal on the menu, the Halibut. I then realized it didn’t taste or look the same, I questioned the waiter and he said the menu changed -sorry. He asked if there was something I wanted to order in addition to what I had. I said no because in my head couldn’t rationalize another meal with this one already being over 30 was enough. I didn’t eat the food, and He didn’t come back to the table after that.

    I always enjoy Lyon Hall. The food is well prepared and presented. The menu is unique in the offerings and seasonal items. I especially appreciate the managers at the entrance. The servers we have had recently, Nick, Danny and Hugh are very professional and friendly. Lyon Hall is my favorite!!!

    I’ve always had good experiences at Lyon Hall. It’s one of my go-to places to eat in Arlington. I made a reservation for three of us. When we got there, the table wasn’t ready so they offered us a high top. It ended up being a 2 person table (again, for three people) overlooking the stairs to the bathroom. We were rushed through our meal, at one point we were holding our appetizer plates to eat off of them because our entrees had been brought out only a few minutes after the appetizers. My friend ended up with wine spilled in his lap because the table was so full and no one even offered to help us clean up. Waiter barely checked on us at all. Awful experience.

    Food high quality, large portions — though bit pricey (eg + $12 to add shrimp onto a salad). Cocktails were average/watered-down with disproportional ice or juices. Service really good!

    Great food, and service! We both had the Restaurant Week three-course special. The Caesar salad was delicious as was our Hanger Steak entrees! The house Sauvignon Blanc (Domaine Thierry Delaunay, Loire, France 2021) was also very good. Danny, our server was especially attentive and helpful, he helped to make our dinner even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant for the quality of food and overall experience!

    I've been to Lyon Hall 3 times before. I think every time it's been just a little bit worse than the time before. It's still a perfectly fine dining option but the service was so so this time. It was hard to get the wait staff's attention. The entree was on the table even before I had finished my appetizer. There's not nearly as much French food on the menu as before either at least when it comes to entrees and desserts.

    Always a delight to visit Lyon Hall. The waitstaff (each and every one) is the kindest and friendliest in the area, and cheerful to boot! Food is consistently delicious. Love the happy hour burger, fries, oysters, and salads, such as the caesar or the tomato salad. But there's really nothing on the menu that I have tasted that isn't wonderful.

    Another very good brunch at Lyon Hall. As openers, the Beignets were fantastic (as always) and the shrimp cocktail was delicious. The mains were quite good on the whole -- the Brioche French Toast and French Onion Soup were superb -- but some not perfect: lobster way overcooked in an otherwise tasty Lobster Omelet, the Mushroom&Bacon Omelet was dull (no noticeable seasoning), and the French Dip had excellent sirloin and perfect onion au jus but a lackluster "pretzel roll" could use a rework. Service was attentive and efficient.

    Lyon Hall: Best dining experience in Arlington. Excellent food and drinks , and extraordinarily good coffee. Beignets , as delectable as New Orleans! Omelette, tweaked to my preference, perfect. Toasted chicken sandwich, with goodies, YUM! Staff and management, welcoming and accommodating. The enticing menu: makes a lot of people happy . It is always a pleasure to have a delicious meal here. Cheers!

    We sat outdoors which seemed a better choice because the music was so loud indoors but then we realized we were seated on the emergency vehicle route and it was a busy night! Oh well! The food was delicious and service was impeccable. We will definitely be back to try more items on menu and to try more of the Belgium beers.
