This was one of the best meals I've ever had. The portions were also not stuffingly large but every dish was top notch! The double bathroom sinks tripped me out after a drink. I wasn't sure if I was in the matrix

The Filet Mignon with poached egg on croissant with salad was outstanding. Our waiter was from Mongolia (I spent Naadam there for two weeks in July) and he made an excellent latte with a flying horse in the foam.

Fanatic happy hour for a lazy Sunday. The 🦪 🦪 so sweet man! My husband loves the chicken sandwiches. We only had house rose and beer. But the lovely lady told me that during happy hour 50% off for the bottom wine on the menu under USD100. ( not the house wine) We had a great experience and definitely will go back with friends!

I have a saying I’m sure I’m not the only one and the saying half the eating experience is the people. They Lyon Hall made me feel like I was with a friendly family. Steven the manager stopped by to check on me, Brooke was super friendly and accommodating, Migjon the chef brought me a special steak to enhance my burger experience. Talk about accommodating Veronica the hostess was really looking out for me. When I thought the item I came for was not available she was going to the chef to ask if they could make it for me(I saw the item was available and saved her the trip). The burger I had could use a little more seasoning beyond that it was perfect!

We had a great time at Lyon Hall. We didn't have a reservation but they were quick to accommodate us and make us feel welcomed. We started with the hanger steak tartare and it was delicious. We followed with some delicious Thai coconut mussels and the seafood tagliatelle. The kids had the burger and steak. Their signature cocktails were also very good and the cheesecake was very good and included some gelato and fresh fruit which was nice. Overall, a great experience, good location, and amazing service.

Enjoyed a late Sunday brunch with a friend. The zero-alcohol ginger fizz was a tasty and refreshing start. My lobster omelette had discernable chunks of lobster along with an almost foamy egg base. My friend's eggs Benedict came served on a croissant, an interpretation she liked a lot. The side salads were sizeable, included a variety of greens and even some slices of watermelon radish. The wide slices of French baguette were served still warm from the oven. Although we stayed sipping our peppermint tea for nearly two hours, no one made us leave. The noise level from a completely filled restaurant remained at a low enough volume we could easily hear each other speak. Apart from parking being appalling in the area, I would happily return often.

Great spot. The Happy Hour Specials make an early dinner worth it. The French Onion Soup (not on the Happy Hour menu) was delicious. Plenty of cheese and full of onions. The oysters were very fresh and a deal at $18.00. Next time I’ll pass on the Smoked Brisket Dumplings. The dumplings themselves were good but the barbecue sauce they were covered in was just too sweet. We also had the Sticky Asian Pork Ribs (not pictured). They had a ton of flavor and fell off the bone. Will definitely return next time for the oysters and soup!!!

Very nice spot! Squash ravioli was PHENOMENAL! We ordered foie gras and didn’t know what it was so hard pass on that. Caesar salad was ok! I liked the fresh lettuce and anchovies on top. The bread and butter was perfect. Would come back!

Girls’ Brunch Goals at Lyon Hall 🥂 We had an all-girls get-together during brunch, and it was amazing — as you can see by the spread! From flaky croissants, fresh donuts to perfectly poached eggs and bottomless mimosas, every dish looked and tasted like something straight out of a Parisian café. The vibe was lively yet comfortable — the kind of place where laughter fills the air without ever feeling too loud. Lyon Hall nails that perfect mix of chic and cozy — sunlight pouring through the windows, clinking glasses, and the unmistakable Clarendon buzz. Service was friendly, the food was flawless, and the energy made the whole morning feel like a mini escape to Europe. And let’s not forget their Happy Hour — one of the best in Arlington! The menu is full of gems, but my absolute favorite is the Thai mussels — spicy, aromatic, and totally addictive. Whether it’s brunch with the girls or Happy Hour cocktails after work, Lyon Hall always hits the right note. 💖🥐🍾🦪✨

I have been to Lyon hall twice before, both times for restaurant week, and their menu can’t be beat. Not only was it a deal, but the food was unbeatable. The bread is served fresh and warm with spreadable, salty butter. I started with the grilled octopus which was paired with arugula and a citrus. My boyfriend started with the tuna tartar and I tried it, which had crispy wontons chips seasoned and served with avocado and seaweed salad. The lobster roll bun was buttery, crispy, panini pressed with poppy seeds, and the lobster was fresh and juicy. My boyfriend got the NY strip, which was heavily seasoned (how we like it) and cooked medium rare to perfection. (It was a little fatty but for 12 oz of meat that can be expected) We ate inside and enjoyed the ambiance, the service, and the overall vibes. I always forget about this gem and need to remember to come more often!! (First 4 pictures are from my dinner last night, next 4 are from my dinner last year)
