Lyon Hall - Arlington, VA

Yeah, this place was pretty awesome. From the moment you walk in the door you are greeted by someone friendly, fortunately we didn't have to wait long for a table, and then a basket of bread and butter arrived.  Great first impression, I would say.  I started with a glass of vouray and the mussels of course. To my surprise they came with fries, yum!

While we sipped on vino and slurped up mussels we did enjoyed some people watching. No particular stories to share on that front other than we were in a perfect spot to see into the bar, restaurant and the patio outside.  Unlike Sonoma last week Lyon Hall has quite the happy  hour crew. It was during the people watching that we spotted the pretzel dish arriving at another table. We knew we had to try them and we were so glad we did. They were so soft and chewy, paring with the spicy mustard's gave them the perfect kick.

Another item I want to note is that the music selection was really fun and up beat. I caught myself singing a couple of times. Lastly, I want to give a shout out to Ashley for her excellent service which contributed to our fantastic time at Lyon Hall.  This week we had a couple of friends join us,  Karli from Chicago and Sona, thanks for coming out!
