Our second time at Lyon Hall. And this time we brought friends! Everything was just as perfect as the first time. My steak was perfectly cooked to how I wanted it. The cheeses were deliciously smooth and great with the fresh hot baguettes. They had tasty vegetarian options too. Always a pleasure to visit Lyon Hall when we travel to DC.

My friends and I went here for brunch. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves. I love a bistro. Everything from the feel to the food makes me feel continental and nostalgic for my time in Paris. Lyon Hall has a nice ambience with lots of versatility in its seating: indoor, outdoor, near a window, booths, high tops.
We had the beignets to begin and they came with a dipping sauce (pumpkin crème anglaise-seasonal). The beignets themselves were piping hot and perfectly flavored. While generally pillowy, they were doughier than I typically like. The dipping sauce was light and lovely.
For the main, I had the Croque Monsieur with fried egg, so technically a Croque Madame. Generally, I enjoyed the overall dish. Temperature, texture, and flavor were all right on point and the egg was cooked perfectly (which, believe it or not is difficult). The béchamel was flavored well, but would have liked more. The dish would have been too dry if it weren't for the runny egg yolk. The salad was a nice sharp compliment to the Croque Madame and brought balance to the overall dish. (It felt like a very classic bistro dish.)
The service was good. Our server was nice and warm, though we did have to ask for refills a few times. I would have liked for them to check in on us more.
If you ever come for brunch, make a reservation. It was pretty busy when my friends and I went. Just make sure the front staff forgets you're waiting at the bar for your seating to be available. Overall we enjoyed our food. The crab cake benedict was ok, I wouldn't order it again. However, my friends loved their Brioche French toast and Beef Bourguignon.
The service was overall great. The bartender was awesome and our server did everything with passion, so it made the experience much better!
The onion soup was great! It’s definitely a must if you visit this place.
The service is really good and the people are very nice.
It’s a good choice if you want to go with family or friends.
Great place to go to enjoy with your French book club.
By happy accident ended up there for brunch week. Everything was delicious, service was attentive and accommodating.
Excellent dinner. Enjoyed the bouillibaise and grilled pork chop. Very good service and atmosphere. Check in out when in Clarendon area.

Had the Thanksgiving 3-course last night at 55 per person. Really enjoyed the place; staff was very welcoming and while our table wasn't ready, we were offered to sit in a cozy corner high top that was an excellent substitution.
Extensive wine list and house cocktails. Had the Arc de Triomphe, a vodka and pear cocktail that was great.
Ordered the charcuterie, with a delicious chicken pate, and prosciutto. It came with a variety of pickled vegetables that were a bit strong for me, and would have been a nice contrast if some of the veg was not pickled for balance. My wife had the kale salad which was exactly as expected, no complaints. I was kicking myself for not getting the lobster ravioli+bisque.
The filet mignon was excellently cooked and the celery root puree that came with it was wonderful. I ordered the duck l'orange that was a bit safe/plain and a little under seasoned for my liking, but came with a fried duck empanada that might've been my favorite thing on the whole menu. Pomme frites were good, bread pudding stuffing was spectacular.
Ice cream selected was a bready-vanilla and a lemon poppyseed that were both great, and my wife had a fantastic pumpkin pie. Overall really happy with everything we ordered.
