The team at Lyon Hall was so kind and gracious in helping us celebrate my dad's birthday and accommodating my request to have an outside cake. The service was absolutely excellent and the food was really delicious. The tuna pappardelle and the Thai mussels were standouts. Thank you so much for giving my dad a great experience.
