Lyon Hall is a modern bistro serving approachable Alsatian-inspired fare, including an extensive selection of house-made charcuterie. The menu changes with the season to highlight fresh produce from local farms, as do the pastries, desserts and fresh bread. The affordable wine list focuses on French selections, while the impressive beer list offers an extensive selection of European drafts and bottles. Located in an historic art deco building in the heart of downtown Clarendon, Lyon Hall is a vibrant neighborhood spot with a friendly, knowledgeable staff. Perfect for an elegant dinner in the stylish dining room, frankfurters and beer flights with friends at the lively bar, or enjoying a warm evening on the patio with a bottle of wine and selections from the dynamic cheese menu. The private room located in the mezzanine level offers a great spot for small to medium size groups enjoying a private meal or cocktail reception.

This bistro is our go-to place in Arlington. The food is always great with consistent service. We shared wine, tuna tartare, a Caesar salad (not fabulous), mussels in white wine sauce, French fries, delicious baguette and a warm berry tart with coconut ice cream. We usually order steak frites (always perfect) but we branched out tonight!

Food was over-salted…like every single dish somehow. Asked for steak medium, got it rare verging on blue…better undercooked than over, but still. They sliced it before it came out…how did they not see that? Mussels and escargots were highlights. Cocktails were a little disappointing. Probably won’t go back.

The service was incredibly slow and the food was WAY less than the menu promises (whoever writes their menu is a silver-tongued liar.) It was Easter brunch... we waited 20 minutes before the waitress arrived to take our order, even though the restaurant was practically empty when we arrived. I ordered an eggs benedict... it arrived lukewarm, soggy and tasteless. My partner ordered French toast... it arrived with meager toppings and barely any syrup. Waving down servers felt like waving a taxi on a Friday night... no one checked to see if we needed anything, to refill our coffee or ask if we enjoyed the meal. What a disappointment. I am done. Never again!
