    Meeting up with friends for a late lunch and completely enjoying the food. It was my friends first time there and all gave a thumbs up. I especially want to give a shout out to the mussels platter which is done in a white wine sauce that I then was dunking my French fries and bread in— and I couldn’t get enough! Definitely recommend!

    Lyon Hall is a longtime (I've lost track of how any years now) favorite of mine and my friends. Plus its in the neighborhood. This visit was great as always. We all enjoyed the food and wine and beer. Sadly we had to skip desert. I have to say that the food is always great as is the wine and beer selection.

    Lyon Hall always delights ~ great food, efficient service and wonderful ambience. Nick and his team are world class ~ we always leave fully satisfied. The dozen oysters were perfectly prepared, the tuna tartar was tender and delicious, the steak frites absolutely delectable. Lyon Hall is a neighborhood gem.

    Amazing food, beautifully presented. Service is attentive but not intrusive. The Restaurant Week offer - appetizer, entree, dessert, choose anything from the menu - was a great value.

    The food was excellent, especially the steak tartare and the autumn risotto. The restaurant week specials were great value ($55 for 3 courses). Service was attentive and pleasant. Would definitely come again.

    The atmosphere of the restaurant is beautiful, bright and elegant. The only issue I have is the high wooden chairs. I think they should provide better seats for people with disability. I was offered a seat at the bar, but due to my health I wasn't able to sit in those high seat chairs. So I waited for over 25 mins standing against the wall near the front door.
