    Food was mostly good. We loved the Parker Rolls, the French Onion Soup, the Shrimp Cocktail, the NY Steak, Twice Baked Potato, and Filet Mignon. The Wedge Salad was very average, and the Sticky Toffee Pudding was tough and inedible. One of the worst desserts I've had in a fine dining restaurant. Service was spotty. Waitress did not check on us enough to ask if we needed anything like water refills, soda refills, etc. and she forgot to bring my partner his wine with dinner. We were seated in the Conservatory room by choice and it was lovely - but as there were diners on the terrace - they kept the door open to the outside, and as it was quite cold and breezy it made the entire room cold. We had to keep asking the servers to close the door. It did not make for a good dining experience. For the price, there are many other steakhouses in the Greater Palm Springs Area - like Mastro's, Morton's, LG's, and the Steakhouse at Agua Caliente RM that are far superior. We won't be returning.

    I thought this restaurant was decent, the server was nice, but very distracted by several other tables. I came here for my birthday, I thought the food was pretty good and then I got crème brûlée for dessert that clearly was cooked substantially earlier in the evening that I ordered it that didn’t leave the best taste in my mouth

    Not sure my prior comments were registered. We are repeat customers, but last night was disappointing. Victoria was timely and helpful. The kitchen, not so much. Very slow delivery of courses. One appetizer was inedible. Wedge good and steak ok. Once again very slow. Chef tried to help by bringing out hot fries. At that pruce point you can't afford to make those rookie mistakes

    This restaurant lacks a focus on excellence. The waitress took 10 minutes to even come to our table. Then another 15 minutes to even get an appetizer. Then another long wait to get our entree, which was not as described. The chef visited our table only to agree that they have issues with their service and system. The only save for this place is the fun speakeasy that is off to the side. The cocktails were amazing and it’s a treat to watch the bartenders mix the drinks. They were, however, short-staffed but it was the best part of this restaurant. I’ll never recommend this restaurant…only the speakeasy.

    Loved this place for it’s ambience and the delicious food! Hosts and bussers were very nice and accommodating. The service was adequate in the sense that our server got us drinks, took our order, and everything came out in a timely fashion. He was a little cold, and very standoffish/unfriendly. Didn’t smile once or engage in any type of conversation other than asking us what we needed and then disappearing. So like I said he was adequate but gave off the vibe that he hated his job. Overall we still had a good experience. btw the signature steak sauce tasted like homemade ketchup…

    Loved the atmosphere - dark and cool. The food was great - typical steakhouse. The service was truly below par. Perhaps a bad night, but waited a while just to get our drink orders, then refills, then to order food and get food. Spent night waiting for server to come to our table and even had to ask other servers to send him over. The rest of the staff was lovely and on top of everything else (water, clearing plates, etc.).

    We enjoyed the ambience, but paying separately for bread was strange. We split a “wedge salad” I didn’t recognize as a wedge and very, very tiny. My Wagyu steak was luke warm and sad. My husband’s ribeye was hot and tasty. Won’t go back. Waiter was a 7, didn’t see him enough, had to ask table water server for some things.

    Went for Thanksgiving Dinner and they were fairly busy however we had to wait 45 minutes after our reservation time to be seated and then an additional 30 minutes after we were sat to be greeted by a waiter. The food was good once we were able to eat at 10:30pm lol. Management never acknowledged the wait or lack of service. Disappointed and overhyped

    We booked for thanksgiving and it was unfortunately not a great experience. They were overbooked, the hostess was rude, and we did not sit until an hour after our reservation time. The service was slow, and when the food arrived it was extremely cold, and cooked poorly.

    When we arrived for our reservation , our table wasn’t ready. In fact, people with reservations from a half a hour earlier still hadn’t been seated. Once we get to our table, we were ignored. When the waiter shows up, he tried to save the situation. And for awhile things go smoothly. But then we couldn’t get our check because the waiter was overwhelmed with other customers. I fault the management. They accepted too many reservations without the proper level of staffing. This was my first time at Mr. Lyons and it will be the last. Kinda messed up Thanksgiving.

    Our anticipation for a memorable Thanksgiving dinner at Mr. Lyons was met with bitter disappointment. Despite the hefty $95 per head charge, the restaurant was ill-prepared for the holiday rush, leaving us waiting 35 minutes for our reservation. The front area of the restaurant was packed with people waiting to be seated, the inexperienced hostess seemed visibly annoyed by our questions, repeatedly responding aggressively with “it's the holidays.” As if we were expected to accept that the restaurant would abandon standards during a holiday rush. The lack of attentiveness, rudeness, and unapologetic demeanor of the staff marred what should have been a special evening for patrons who had paid generously for a memorable experience, was just a holiday money grab for Mr. Lyons. Our server lacked of instinct, personality and any hospitality skills. There were 20-minute gaps between courses. The food itself was cold, flavorless, and dry, the food was presented and plated as if we were in line at a soup kitchen. As we endured our disappointing Thanksgiving meal, we watched our wine sitting at the bar throughout the entire meal. Despite requesting that the server remove the wine from our bill, which he reluctantly agreed to, it remained there when we received our check. This experience has unequivocally cemented our decision to never visit Mr. Lyons again.

    A very disappointing thanksgiving experience. We sat at our table for a half hour before we were acknowledged, our prime rib was extremely rare (we were never asked how we liked it) beans were tough and un edible, pumpkin pie was terrible, tasted like nutmeg fluff. On a positive note our appetizer was very nice.

    This was a rare date night for us. The space and setting are always lovely and elegant at this restaurant. The waitress began by apologizing for the complaints which she knew would be coming. The prix fixe menu was standard. The food was cold and dispirited. The plates looked as if they had been plated hours prior and reheated (poorly). The table next to us complained to us about their cold and lackluster dinners. At $95 / plate, this was one of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I have had in many years. We live in the neighborhood and have loved coming here. We will not return and will warn everyone we know about our sad experience.

    After reading the other Thanksgiving reviews, I see we were not the only unhappy customers at Mr. Lyons last night. The service was terrible and the food inedible. I've attached a photo of what they served me as dark meat turkey. Yes, they really did serve this mess! But the worse part was when the waiter spilled a glass of red wine all over me. After it happened, he didn't show his face again until we wanted our check. I asked the hostess if they would pick up my dry cleaning bill and she said she would send over the manager. They never came. I went back to the front desk and the manager was chatting with the hostesses! She said she would give me her card and I could call them to talk about them paying for my dry cleaning bill. That took another 15 minutes. She did not apologize until my husband complained about our experience (he was in the restaurant business for over 35 years). We used to go to Mr. Lyons regularly but will never go again.

    The food and drinks at this restaurant were absolutely terrible and one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. The burrata appetizer was tiny and had an unpleasant flavor. The wedge salad was wilted and sad. The steak, ordered medium rare came well done and cold. The veggie pie also came cold. I ordered a dry martini that came swimming in vermouth. Our server was very nice and we can’t blame him for the poor food but if our experience was typical of this restaurant, nobody should ever eat here.

    I have been to this restaurant serval times and have never had a bad experience. Thanksgiving Day was an exception. Everything was fine until the entrees came. Our plates and food were cold and had to sent back. It took ten minutes to get someone to take it back. My partner's turkey came back very hot and he was fine. My prime rib and plate were still cold and had to be sent back a second time; it took another 10 minutes to track down the waitress to send it back again. It finally came back hot 10 minutes later. No one came to refill water glasses. Our waitress never came back to the table until it was time to pay the bill and then she had to be tracked down again. They did adjust the bill us on a refund of drinks and the prime rib portion of the bill. Overall it was a very disappointing experience.

    Our thanksgiving meal was gross. They brought out the mains first, instead of the appetizers. They took back the main courses. We had just started the appetizers and they dumped the cold main courses on the table. Staff kept changing, and felt rushed. Not good at all. The desert tasted like it was from Trader Joe’s

    The sound system had problems. It seemed like it was being worked on throughout dinner and loud scratching and feedback came through the speakers throughout our dining experience.
