Lyon Hall

I finally got around to trying out Lyon Hall on Sunday, December 17, for dinner with friends. Dining at 4:00 PM on a game day Sunday is ideal for optimum service, with very few customers competing for attention. Our server, Milton, was outstanding. He was attentive, affable, and eager to accommodate our special requests. The Canadian mussels were large and flavorful in a wine and butter sauce. The charred Brussels sprouts were savory, and the golden frites had a crispy exterior with a fluffy interior. The moderately priced TYDY Sauvignon Blanc paired well. The mango sorbet for dessert was delicious, offering a bright flavor enjoyed with a medium-bold black coffee. After ordering coffee, I recalled seeing French Press offered on the menu, which will be my choice on my next visit to Lyon Hall. The ambiance was welcoming and inviting. The weather was overcast and raining, preventing quality interior photos.

Lyon Hall is incredible. Everything was perfectly cooked and so tasty. The short ribs, hanger steak, and mussels were 10/10. You can’t go wrong going to this place.

Very enjoyable European vibe with French and German foods. I love sampling wines from around Europe- a glass of French wine, something from Austria, dabble with a German wine. And on a warm spring evening, sitting outside with beer and a pretzel is hard to beat. The duck was delicious but they have so many good options that it’s hard to choose.

Always great to eat at Lyon Hall. Tons of delicious food. Seafood, meat, and vegetables options in addition to solid drink selection.

A good spot for weekend brunch. Lyon Hall has a big menu for brunch with appetizers, omelettes, sandwiches, and salads. I ordered the salmon Benedict and a pork sandwich with coleslaw and both were delicious. All tables come with a basket of bread. Nice atmosphere and service is good.

This place is a must GO TO! It has amazing French - German - Belgian food along with beer to pair. It reminds me of being back in Europe and has that cafe culture feeling where you can meet a friend, drink high quality Belgian beer, and chat for hours without the feeling of being rushed out. Amazing service too.

First time here and Lyons Hall made a great impression. We were promptly seated at our reservation time. The staff was very courteous and attentive. As far as the food, we tried 2 appetizers, the escargot and the squid. Both were great to try. The squid was okay, the sauce and chickpeas made that dish. The escargot was a bit lost in the buttery garlic sauce. Great side basket of bread and spreadable butter. The entrees we tried were the chicken, the beef medallions, and the short rib entree. All 3 were pretty tasty. My cappuccino was right on. Great cup of coffee.

What a great bistro. Good food, good atmosphere and service, a great value. And for all ages as my kids often had brunch here or got a burger for dinner. Sitting outside is a great option and really takes me back to Parisian cafes from when I studied in Paris. The burger with the semi-pungent cheese is so good. I rarely eat burgers but this one is worth. If all restaurants could be this awesome!

From my (delayed) celebratory birthday dinner since someone special had to work on my actual birthday/ national holiday in France 🇫🇷. Not pictured was the (amazing) escargot 🐌 appetizer or the German beer 🥨. Overall a very happy girl with a French 75 cocktail, escargot, mussels vin blanc with frites & ANXO Nevertheless cidre. My husband and son ordered the pork schnitzel with a side of fried brussel sprouts and the clams and chorizo with a few rounds of beer. There was room for dessert which was a (savory decadence) of the chocolate pot de crème and cappuccino. C’était délicieux!

Menu options are varied to suit different tastes. Some over-thought on the French Toast as it was smothered with berries, pecans, and whipped cream. Sometimes simple is better, i.e.. pancakes with a side of bacon. Prices are reasonable. The Bloody Mary's were good and not over-priced. The waitress was working hard but was over-taxed, which resulted in slower service. Overall, it was a good experience.

Went there two weekends ago with my wife for a post party hangover cure. Got the brunch burger. It was AWESOME. It was juicy and huge. She got the steak and eggs, which she liked but I was less impressed with because it was a little tough. Drinks were good too, but we didn’t get anything to adventurous (mimosa and manmosa).

I came in for dinner with a friend and we were both really impressed with the plat du jour- fish and chips on Wednesdays! Great atmosphere, service, and drink options. We were sat upstairs and I can’t wait to book my birthday party up there later this year!

Had been here a couple times for dinner and recently tried brunch. All times were great experiences. There brunch is surprisingly affordable relative to the area and great quality - everything tasted fresh.

Highly recommend using OpenTable to make a reservation as they can get very busy for dinner.

Brunch at Lyon Hall was great. There is ample indoor and outdoor seating with a really solid menu of food and drinks. Service was good enough. Food was delicious. Strange bathroom set up though– no divider between men and women’s sinks so you’re essentially looking at one another while washing your hands.

We had a great expirance here. The food was not only beautifully presented but also exceedingly delicious. The space is beautiful and has a very modern French vibe that feels comfortably posh. The service was attentive but not over bearing.

Fantastic place for brunch. The food is really good (I had the burger but the benedict and other sandwiches I could spot looked delicious) Service is attentive and quite fast, even at full capacity. Cozy atmosphere to relax and enjoy the food.I recommend making reservations, it's very popular on weekends. Easy access from Clarendon metro

Had the BEST experience at this restaurant. 5 stars all around from service, menu options, quality and quantity of the food, and drinks/ prices!! My favorite item was the Thai mussels with a side of their infamous bread YUM! I also recommend all of the sides... great options to share with the table and a lot of unique options surely to appease any and all taste pallets!

Cannot wait to come back here, thank you for a great dining experience and making us feel at home during these crazy covid times.

Finally found a good breakfast/brunch place in Arlington. Food is very well flavoured and has a good price/quality range. Definitely coming back.

Great menu with lots of meat and seafood options.

A must try! Service is also top tier. Highly recommend the hanger steak and frites, short rib, and shrimp cocktail
