Such a lovely time at Lyon Hall. Enjoyed a bottle of Malbec and delicious food. Highly recommend the chicken and scallops. And, the brussels are on point! Definitely one of Clarendon’s gems.

We had a reservation on Friday evening and sat outside. Love all of the outdoor seating. Wait staff was very friendly and attentive. Checked in at all of the right times. Food was really good, very happy to have Lyon Hall in our neighborhood. We will be back!

The steak tartare was among the best I've had. Mussels were also excellent. Halibut good. Look forward another steak tartare soon!

Enjoyed a nice evening out with friends. Will return.

Wow! This place is great. Awesome happy hour deals, the food is amazing (get the bone marrow- you will not be disappointed!

The new fall menu offerings are delicious! We particularly enjoy the La Potée, the Orecchiette, and the Short Rib.

They know their business. Thanks for a great dinner for our group!

Great food and service!

Such excellent service in both the bar area and the restaurant. Our oysters, branzino and hangar steak were all delicious. Drinks are on the expensive side; food is fairly priced.

My wife and I decided to try a new place and we were glad we did! We had the oysters and beef tartare for appetizers. Had the Pork Schnitzel and Branzino for our entrees. As good as you can get for a nice French/German Bistro. Will come again!

The oysters were fresh, cool and absolutely wonderful. The steak tartare what’s perhaps the worst I’ve ever eaten.

Tables needs to be odour free service needs to be more quick

service was great the server ask me if i wanted my salad first

Service was impeccable. The server was attentive and very friendly. She was a delight. The food was delicious. Will certainly come again.

I had high expectations. I came here for brunch twice and and was delighted. Excited to go to dinner… then I went. Perhaps it was a bad night for the kitchen. But spending $132 for the meal (A couple appetizers, two glasses of wine, two entree, one dessert) not including a 26% tip for a charming server. It may be my last visit to this place. I can’t blame her for the kitchen or lack of support staff .

The mussels while satisfying. I recommend the Chef visit Granville Moor’s on H Street in DC, taste the difference between a flavorful base, and what is served.

Short Rib… looked nice, not exactly a demi-glace rich sauce, it could have been braised longer to bring out that natural beauty…

Ordered a side dish of brussels sprouts.. Hands down the Worst brussels sprouts I’ve ever had, smelly, overcooked, I thought I was in silver diner.

Crème brûlée… I assumed the would use a vanilla bean, vanilla bean paste… clearly just extract no specks of vanilla bran.. Petty? it lacked a creamy texture… mouthfeel was just not there. Maybe change it to Pot de Créme, give us a richer flavor than vanilla pudding .

Does this restaurant have too many menu choices to make quality foods? I got there after the rush maybe the kitchen was still recovering from an overwhelming Saturday evening… not enough side staff to water glasses.
The price left me truly disappointed for a French Bistro…. I took a friend who had no clue about French cuisine… now I have to take my friend somewhere that will surprise.

The oysters and saffron shrimp mussels were great! The short rib, not so much.

Service was subpar. We didn’t mind because we were catching up, but the waitress wasn’t very attentive. Never got water refills, kind of rushed us along to order. Love the restaurant and the vibe just consistently disappointed in the wait staff.

Great spot!

We went for our anniversary and it was such a lovely experience. Our waiter was very attentive and kind. The food was amazing - I got the special of coq au vin blanc and my husband got the steak frites which were both delicious. We also got the pretzel to start and it came with 3 sauces which were so good. We got the fruit galette for dessert which was a great end to an amazing dinner. Highly recommend! Will definitely come back in the future.

Excellent service & very much appreciate ability to make reservations for Outdoor seating.

Despite being Sunday and peak brunch hours, the service was IMMACULATE. We placed our order and like in less than 5 min our server came with our food — we both work in restaurants and were really impressed at the speed. Food was delicious as well. Definitely will come back!

Very good food. Friendly service. Good to see that this place is not suffering from any staff shortage like most restaurants at this time. We will be back.

There's only one way to truly judge a restaurant: was the quality of the food worth the cost? Unfortunately, I would emphatically say it wasn't.

Great oysters and mussels. The dinner entrees were delicious too.

fun place to sip cappuccinos on the sidewalk, very attentive service, food is fine but doesn’t knock your socks off.

We love Lyon Hall but have found it to be excessively noisy on a number of visits. We’ll still come back for the food though.

Never disappoints! They do a great job with brunch and I like that there are other non-brunch options on the menu for those that want a burger.

Lyon Hall provided a friendly ambiance, efficient service, and excellent food. I plan to return.

It was a beautiful night to sit outside and enjoy dinner on an early autumn evening. The food was excellent and the service attentive.

Was nice atmosphere. Enjoy the visit.

As soon as we hit the front door, the hostess happily greeted us. She couldn't have been nicer and her great attitude showed. Our waitress was the same. Everyone, including the busboys, were very attentive . Perfect customer service.
When it came to the food, we got a bunch of apps and only ordered one entree for the four of us. The apps were large portions and with only oredering one entree it was still too much food. However, it was all very very good. We've NEVER had a bad meal or experience here!

The muddled strawberry, basil cocktail and French toast were scrumptious!

Food was absolutely wonderful! The escargots, steak tartare and bouillabaisse were delicious. Outstanding service and great ambience. Reasonably priced and worth the money.

Had a nice dinner and drinks there. Food tastes really good and everything else was perfect as well. Nice atmosphere. Definitely will go back =]

The staff at Lyon Hall was excellent. Very kind and accommodating. We went for brunch and started with the beignets, which unfortunately seemed to be cooked in oil that was too hot as they were dark on the outside but slightly underdone inside. I also had the eggs benedict was was good, but slightly too heavy for my taste and I was unable to finish it.

Always a great menu, expertly prepared and professionally served.

My wife and I are long time patrons of Lyon Hall. Lately, the quality of food and service have fallen. What a shame, Lyon Hall had been so good for so long.

A bit odd that the croissants aren’t toasted with the eggs Benedict which made the dish lackluster and they were served cold. Coffee is always good. Waiter was missing in action.

Great outdoor patio. Service was great. Food was delicious.
