"I absolutely loved this dinner. It had been about eight years since I last ate at Lyon Hall after moving out of the area, and I’m happy to say it’s just as good, if not better, than I remembered. The mussel pots are still the standout. The menu keeps it simple with three options, but they’re exactly the right combinations: classic white wine, rich marinara, and a flavorful Thai red curry. You really can’t go wrong ordering the mussels as your main dish, generous portions, excellent flavors, and very fair pricing. Add in a fun, lively atmosphere and consistently great food, and Lyon Hall remains a place worth coming back to. Highly recommended if you’re in Arlington and want a great meal without any fuss."

"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)"

"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. 💖🥐🍾🦪✨"

"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!"

"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!!!"
