The food was good, the service was good, we were upstairs and it was loud but ok … we booked thru open table expecting to enjoy a nice brunch with friends - instead we were told as we were just finishing our food (before coffee and dessert) that the upstairs had a party coming in and we were gently asked to leave. You should have done something else than ask us to leave - ask us to move downstairs, give us a coffee to go, sit us at the bar …. Left a really bad taste in our mouth.

Lunch on a super rainy afternoon gave us the place almost to ourselves. Our server was attentive but gave us space. The food was fantastic! The octopus was probably the most tender I have ever had. Loved it with chickpeas and kale. Just try it!

The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! The noise level was a steady hum, but still quiet enough for real conversation without shouting at each other.

Lyon Hall has been a favorite for a number of years now. The menu is good and there are always some seasonal changes which keeps it interesting. That said, the food has always been great, service is good, the setting is comfortable, and it is close to home making it even better for me.

Again, an excellent experience at Lyon Hall. After a round of French 75s followed by French onion soup as a first course, my wife enjoyed the mushroom risotto (with a glass of sauvignon blanc), and I enjoyed the rack of lamb (with a glass of cabernet sauvignon). We concluded with the gingerbread roulade and espresso martinis. The food and drinks fired well in all regards. The service was also excellent. Thanks to the kitchen and the team at Lyon Hall for a very nice evening.

The team at Lyon Hall was so kind and gracious in helping us celebrate my dad's birthday and accommodating my request to have an outside cake. The service was absolutely excellent and the food was really delicious. The tuna pappardelle and the Thai mussels were standouts. Thank you so much for giving my dad a great experience.

Had a group lunch here and it was great. The food was excellent. I’ve been coming here since they opened and the quality has been consistent for more than a decade - the best fries and free bread and butter anywhere!
