    Waited 40 minutes for staff to take our order. At 40 minutes we walked out. Poorly managed restaurant… we’ve been before and enjoyed, but this was ridiculous. Also, they were NOT busy and the busboy apologized twice for a lack of service

    Lyon Hall is a favorite! We moved to Miami earlier this year and we were thriller to come back on our recent visit to the area. The wait staff was lovely and when the busboy overheard that I was taking Spanish, he was happy to give me a little conversational practice. I had the bronzini and it was delicious. Everyone was thrilled with their meal.

    My girlfriend & I arrived 10 minutes early for our reservation & were seated immediately. Our waiter was prompt & asked if we would like some cocktails , he provided a taste of a couple wines helping us make a good choice. The appetizer of 3 cheeses was delicious. We waited about 45 minutes before ordering our meal & never felt pressured to order. Our meal if bronzini & mussels were cooked to perfection! All in all a wonderful experience . Highly recommended

    Food was great, but ridiculously small portions with steep pricing, tasted like a scam. Service was terrible, me and my girlfriend are always a dream table: we have our order ready when the server first came, we finished all our food and just needed to pay. Server took order and never came back, busser came and got plates after we left and we waited *25* minutes for our sever to simply take the credit card and process the payment. He was around us constantly and flat out avoided eye contact and attempts to get his attention. I was a server for 3 years and I always give way generous tips, but after feeling personally disrespected I didn’t leave one. After all my definition of service involves work and attention. None of which we received. I would’ve tipped the busser as he interacted with us while our server was nowhere to be found.

    The food was great, something for everyone. The service was okay, we had to ask two other servers for another cocktail and condiments. The noise outside is not great (lots of traffic and loud radios…beware). We’ll go back and eat indoors next time.

    My boyfriend and I love Lyon Hall and regularly go to sit at the bar, but this past Sunday we took some of our friends for a brunch and everyone loved it! There wasn't a mediocre plate on our table. The chef even made an unusual request work for someone at our table. If you've not been for brunch, go! It's so great and who doesn't love a good mimosa kit?!

    Service was non-existent, saw waitress twice in an hour. Ended up passing on another round and other food items as there was no one to take order. Disappointing, as I have been coming here since they opened and have never had a service experience this bad. Hopefully a one time thing.

    Steak Tartare and mussels were excellent. Onion soup lacked onions. Too much broth to onions. Kung Pow Cauliflower lacked heat and sauce was thin. Service was slow. Inside too noisy to have a dinner conversation. A solid 3-1/2 stars.

    We stopped for happy hour at the bar first before our dinner reservation. The happy hour wine and cheese board was very good and the bar tenders were friendly. The atmosphere is upscale and sophisticated, but comfortable. Dinner was delicious and the chocolate dessert was special. Servers were attentive and friendly. I rarely can brag about having such a great time at many restaurants like we did here.

    My family and I usually frequent Lyon Hall once a month and this time was underwhelming. Waiter forgot about us as we watched the table next to us be seated after us then get their food before us. My friend got the Fish and Chips Thursday special and there was too much breading and not enough fish. I’ll definitely come back because previous experiences have been excellent but not my favorite experience.

    Cool location and urban appeal. We loved the outside seating. The food was good! Our waiter was friendly and nice but he made several errors (salads were not dressed despite ordering dressing, did not bring dressing despite our request, served ice cream instead of sorbet despite our ordering the sorbet due to a dairy allergy). We think he was new and there may have been a language barrier(?). In any case he was kind and apologetic and he comped all our desserts so it did not ruin our experience at all. We were visiting from out of town, but my daughter lives in the building next door and she will definitely be back!
