"Less of a nostalgic throwback as it is a perfectly preserved relic, Mr. Lyons has been around in some form or another since the 1940s. But after a massive renovation in 2015, this historic steakhouse has retaken its place as the desert’s go-to spot for breaking out your best pearls, sipping martinis like they’re tap water, and going to town on giant slabs of meat. With multiple dining rooms, a lounge/bar area, a wrap-around patio, and a private dining space, Mr. Lyons is sneakily quite large, making it a great option if you’re in town with a bunch of people who are in the mood to celebrate." - brant cox

View Postcard for Mr. Lyons Steakhouse

"Before a 2015 renovation, Mr. Lyons was formerly Lyons English Grille which opened in 1945, This restaurant’s glamorous dining room radiates old-school steakhouse charm with modern touches throughout. Prime rib, lamb shanks, and salmon en croute will always satisfy but don’t skip the Akaushi rib eye, vegetarian Wellington, or the $35 “elevated” burger. The restaurant’s Philly cheesesteak is gloriously messy and delicious." - Mona Holmes, Eater Staff

A winning play on the old-school steakhouse with possibly the best shrimp cocktail I’ve ever had that would take me hundreds of words to describe.

We didn’t have reservations, but we were able to be seated in the bar area. Felt modern and intimate with low lighting. We arrived in time to enjoy happy hour. It was a limited menu, but prime rib sandwich was excellent and big enough to split. Homemade chips were seasoned perfectly. The Lyons Lemonade was a nice compliment to the meal.

Is the 2% kitchen appreciation fee meant to support the kitchen staff, or is it simply an acknowledgment that the kitchen exists? The service was super slow. Fun vibe!

Disappointing food, especially at the price. But service and atmosphere are good. Had the Thanksgiving dinner set menu for $115 per person with three courses. The pumpkin soup appetizer was excellent but steak and lamb entrees and sides were mediocre. Would have been more acceptable at a cheaper price, but definitely not a $115 meal.

Bone Marrow appetizer was delicious… For dinner the Pork Chop and corn were phenomenal! Service and atmosphere were a solid 10 !

Best Beef Wellington I’ve had in Southern California alongside perfectly executed additional classic steakhouse fare. Incredible vibes scream old school steakhouse, and decadent interiors deliver an elevated dining experience.

Coming from NYC, the steak houses here are hard to top. Had high hopes but the food was not as good as the price tag. I think if you do not eat steak often/go to steak houses you will be impressed. The beef Wellington was pretty good but the prime rib was meh.

I had to plan a team dinner for over a 100 people and Hayley at Mr. Lyons was a dream to work with. If you are looking for a beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, amazing staff and top quality drinks - go to Mr. Lyons!!! Hayley helped me every step of the way, answered all my questions, and truly made this dinner a massive success. I can’t thank the team at Mr. Lyons enough!! You all truly did a phenomenal job! I was amazed even at their team huddle how detailed they were and just the pride they took in their work. Thank you a million times over! If I ever find myself in Palm Springs again, I will make sure to go back to Mr. Lyons!

Disclaimer - I'm a vegetarian. And I am giving a steak house 5 stars! Why did I go to Mr Lyons? I was told I had to try the Vegetarian Wellington. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! In fact, I would go so far as to say this was one of the best meals I've enjoyed. There is absolutely something for everyone on the menu. We enjoyed amazing cocktails (I recommend the Aviation), Parker Rolls, Potato Chip Salad (highly recommend this), Baked Cone Cabbage, Potatoes, Veggie Wellington (All vegetarians in the area need to try this!), Prime Rib (my partner is a carnivore), and Mint ice cream. I also need to mention the atmosphere. Classy, contemporary, cool, comfortable - I don't really know how to describe it, but you will know you are somewhere special as soon as you walk in. If I had to be critical of anything, I suppose the service at the end of the meal really slowed down. We waited a long, long time after finishing for someone to clear our plates, order dessert and pay. I can appreciate not being rushed, and every other aspect of the service was spot on, so no big deal. If you are considering this restaurant, surely you've already seen the menu and the prices, so let me reassure you that it is worth every penny. This is the kind of place to go for a special occasion and I can't wait to go back.

This place was super chic! It had a Dark and sexy ambiance. High end feel and quite frankly the most exquisite dinner I've ever had. Definitely on the pricy side. But worth it nonetheless! Our waiter, Adrian, was so poised and attentive. Thank you for helping the experience more enjoyable! Food: the ribeye was cooked to perfection. The lobster ravioli was superb! The bread rolls: not going to lie, I've had better elsewhere. The drink I had was from the bar. Adrian said the bartender was a renowned mixologist and had amazing creations. He was not lying. I wanted a sweet refreshing drink and he delivered. I apologize but I don't recall the drink name. But just show the photo and they should be able to tell you!

Avoid this place--it's not worth the money or frustration. We dined here on a Wednesday evening and were seated in the front left section. Our experience started off decently: the server's assistant was attentive and made sure our server, Carlos, came over to take our drink order promptly. However, things quickly went downhill from there. Carlos seemed disinterested and wasn't helpful at all when my father asked for a wine recommendation. I ordered a Bordeaux blend listed at $15, only to find it charged as $25 on the bill--likely because Carlos swapped the wine without clarifying. Despite the price mix-up, the wine was sadly the highlight of my meal. The food itself was a disaster. I ordered the Caesar salad, which came unchopped, with whole romaine leaves dumped on a plate, topped with clumpy, dry cheese and a stale crouton. It was as if the crouton had been left out in the sun for days. My father's French onion soup was bland and lacked any depth of flavor. Then came the true low point: my entree, the lobster ravioli. Do not order this. The dish was composed of five tiny, inch-wide pasta squares stuffed with rubbery, unpleasant lobster. They were topped with a lackluster red sauce and barely any cold pistachio sauce, making for an unappetizing presentation. I honestly think imitation crab would've been better. My father's prime rib was decent, but for a 16 oz portion, the sauce was minimal. We ordered sides of mushrooms, which were overcooked and dry, and mashed potatoes. I initially tried ordering different potatoes, but Carlos seemed unsure of what was actually on the menu. We always save room for dessert, so we ordered the tarte and warm cake. But both were disappointments. The "warm" cake was cold, as if it had just come from the freezer, and we left it after one bite each. The tart was overcooked, with just a small spoonful of sour cream ice cream. While the caramel was good, it wasn't enough to salvage the dessert. At the end of the night, Carlos made an awkward attempt to insist that he was the highlight of our dining experience. He'd barely checked in on us, seemed overwhelmed with his tables, and often avoided eye contact. As we left, the table next to us was also voicing similar complaints about Carlos, their missing sides, and cold dessert. All in all, this was a poorly managed and overpriced experience. I regret the 20% tip I left but hope Carlos is either new to the service industry or will find a more fitting role. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone looking for quality dining--save your money and your time.

I will never come to Palm Springs and not come here for dinner. Russell the bartender is amazing! If I were to describe the vibe it would be LA swanky restaurant meets Vegas Mob steakhouse...it's everything you didn't know you needed. Grab a seat at the bar (hopefully Russell is there) if you get there between 5p-7p it's happy hour and you can get the most delicious manhattan or a nice pour of William Hill Cab for $7. There are some great food items on the HH menu also you can easily find menus online. Our go to meal is shareable we start with the shrimp cocktail and wedge salad followed by the beef Wellington (best I've ever had) and finish with dessert, we usually go with whatever Russell recommends :) If you are in Palm Springs Mr. Lyons is worth the short drive passing the main avenue.

Came here on a Saturday night for dinner and was seated at the bar. The hostess was very kind. I ordered a French 75 and it was good. The space is very nice. Dimmed steakhouse with different rooms. Unfortunately the food was not great. I had a steak frites. The beef came out luke cold and was just not tasty. The fries were okay.

Doug A.

Yelp
Love this place. The food and service are top notch and the bar and ambiance are excellent. Always love the beef Wellington, also had the bone in rib eye that was amazing and served with a grilled lemon that was perfect.

Griffin B.

Yelp
Atmosphere was very nice. My high expectations for the food went out the window when I got my appetizers. I spent 9 dollars on rolls just for them to be the size of my left testicle. The fact that I had to cut my own salad made me want to shoot myself and it tasted like salt. The steak knife was cool. The steak was good. The fries were good. The service was good.

The restaurant is an institution and has the art deco, classic steakhouse atmosphere that the rat pack would frequent. We came as a four top and were impressed with the hospitality and kindness of the staff. Only $35 corkage, with the Somm available and happy to decant your wine. The restaurant is known for their Wellingtons and they didn't disappoint. Perfectly tender tenderloin. Yes it's a pricier establishment, but we were celebrating a dad's night out so we were happy to oblige. We'd definitely come back: the espresso martinis were a treat. The onion rings were . Other sides were standard steakhouse classics.

Sat at the bar for happy hour on a Friday night. Had a dirty martini with bleu cheese olives on the happy hour special. Choices are to use Bombay's gin or Smirnoff vodka. Had the crab rangoons along with onion rings for appetizers. Perfect place for a drink! Great bartenders and excellent service.

My husband and I came for a date night last week and had a great experience. We had a reservation for 5pm - early, yes! We were greeted warmly and all the staff seemed very professional and friendly. We tried the French onion soup- piping hot and definitely large enough to share - very filling and delicious Caesar salad- kind of disappointed it wasn't traditional, but was still really good Both of our steaks were salty and delicious. I would not recommend the peppercorn side sauce. The snap peas were our favorite side, while the Brussels sprouts were just as good, and the fried rice just okay. Loves the ambiance and decor. I would recommend for an upscale date night or special occasion!

I had dinner here and would make a point of coming here again should I be in the area. I T was a little dark like a traditional steak house. The menu was on the smaller size but it has all the typical items. I chose prime rib. Not my favorite cut but variety is good. It was a 16oz end piece as I prefer meat more medium. I added corn, mushrooms and Brussels sprouts. They were a generous portion for 2. I am not sure I would order anything different. It was a very good meal. Well occasionally dessert calls and the carrot cake with caramel was beyond delicious. That and a good cup of coffee just completed the experience. Price was very reasonable for the quality and delicious food. I did take half of it home. Service was excellent. I think it was Lilibeth, She was attentive, and her recommendations were excellent. I had such a lovely evening there. If able I will revisit in the future.

Pricey of course but love the dark sultry ambiance and the service. We just sat at the bar but were totally taken care of. We were only gonna stay for a drink and an appee but we're having so much fun we stayed the rest of the night. The pours are generous and had the cheesesteak wrap thing off the happy hour menu. It was huge and awesome !

Mr. Lyons still delivers! My family and I came out for the Christmas holiday and I wanted to make sure we had an exceptional meal on Christmas Eve. I cringed when I saw the spate of blistering recent reviews and was convinced things must have gone way downhill since my visit last year. I'm pleased to report, however, that things seem just as good as ever. We had a patio table by the roaring fireplace, abetted by heat lamps. From the minute we were seated, the service was outstanding, lead by our server, Guillermo. He was calm, good-humored, constructively opinionated about the menu, and a swift problem solver. Based on the consistency of the service with all the staff, it's apparent there's a strong hospitality training program here. OUR ORDER: - Parker rolls with taragon butter // Warm, fluffy, paired with easily spreadable herb butter, what else do you want? - Bone-in ribeye (requested medium rare-plus) // Shared between me and my brother, this was easily the BEST restaurant steak I've had in a year. Superb texture and beefy flavor, seasoned on point, and cooked to a perfect medium rare (in retrospect, maybe a warning; I'm glad I ordered "m.r. plus"). - Braised lamb shank // My mother pointed out this came out a little on the dry side, and Guillermo quickly offered some au jus to remedy the situation. Sides were all excellent: - Coachella valley corn - sweet and tangy - Steakhouse mushrooms - a robust variety of trumpet, oyster, and other mushrooms - Sugarsnap peas - blistered, vibrant, and fresh Dessert: - Creme brulee // pleasingly eggy and assertively dense - 1979 carrot cake // An original Mr. Lyons glory-days recipe and the only thing we didn't love, and Guillermo offered to remove it from our check if we didn't like it, and, well, we didn't so he did; while the cream cheese frosting was lovely, the cake itself was solid dry and crumbly. All in all a highly satisfying but not overly rich meal, and a great way to celebrate the holidays. Mr. Lyons continues to shine in my Palm Springs book.

Went to get a pre-dinner drink at Seymour's but after arriving found out there was a private event. So my friend and I grabbed a drink at the bar in the steakhouse. Review is for the drinks only. We ordered an old fashioned and it had way too much ice and tasted pretty watered down. Not terrible and my least favorite old fashioned of the weekend. Fries were excellent though.

We started off our weekend in Palm Springs with a dinner at Mr. Lyons. It was lively and aesthetically pleasing. We enjoyed our steak dinners and the sides. The French onion soup is fantastic, but I would pass on the Caesar salad. Service was okay but did not stand out for a fine dining establishment.

Aimee D.

Yelp
Absolutely delicious! We had reservations and were sat immediately. The service was excellent. They were super busy too! We ordered salads. One wedge, a watermelon salad, and a Caesar salad. We just rotated every couple of bites. They were all so fresh, unique, and delicious. The watermelon salad is not available all the time, so if it's in there... Get it!!! We then had filet and prime rib. Both were perfectly cooked and super full of flavor. Flight of sauces for the steak. I loved the creamed horseradish. Our sides were the potatoes and Brussels sprouts. The potatoes were so creamy, but my favorite were the Brussels sprouts. They were crispy, citrusy, and tangy. We were going to try the coned cabbage but we knew we would be too full. The atmosphere was beautiful. The chef came and checked on us. The manager was attentive and the waiter did an excellent job! Definitely going back!

Second time back here! All around it's a lively Palm Springs style steakhouse. Fancy enough but also Palm Springs casual which is a great vibe. They have a nice bar as well as a speakeasy bar, a formal dining room and casual dining room. Little things about the place are inconsistent which becomes noticeable when you return to a place. All the service staff is friendly and helpful, sometimes the pace of the service is a little weird, like either too slow or too fast. I love the caviar dip' this time it was a smaller portion. I tried the hand rolls and I enjoyed them for a change. Parker house rolls are perfect for the table. The bone in rib eye is a good steak and a good cut, however we got it me out rare and it was a bit dry, not juicy, I'm not sure why. They even surprised us with an anniversary treat!

Paul C.

I'm pleased to say four of us recently returned and the quality is still superb. Yes, prices are higher but every meal and every side and appetizer was perfection!

Jessica G.

Yelp
Over priced for the quality. It does have a great atmosphere but too expensive for mediocre food. The speakeasy on the side is great though!

Kimora M.

Yelp
Great atmosphere! I'm giving two stars because I ordered steak frites (well done) I prefer my meat cooked with zero pink and I know that can ruin the meat or whatever but it's my preference. The chef came out and said that it would be inedible and that he will cook it medium, so me not interested in anything else on the menu I said okay. It was so pink and I ate maybe a sliver of it. The server was also very slow and would often forget when I asked for things. Very pricey aswell, but overall nice ambiance

Jackie G.

Yelp
Our usual go-to spot in Palm Springs for martinis, retro vibes, but dinner seemed a bit off this time. Not sure if there's been a change in chefs, but the food felt a bit underwhelming compared to our past visits. My husband's steak was overcooked, the onion rings tasted like unflavored batter, my fish lacked flavor, and I wish the menu had mentioned it came with couscous. The roasted Brussels sprouts were also a bit too charred, and the hamachi crudo was warm, lacked flavor, and hard to eat with the rice cracker. We still love the classic aesthetic, the great service, and ambiance, but we're hoping the next visit brings back the flavors we know and love!

I have eaten at Mr Lyons at least half a dozen times over the last decade and have had no complaints. But last nights thanksgiving special was an exercise in mediocrity. The first disappointment was the soup was off the menu - surely a major fail for a special thanksgiving menu. The alternatives were wedge and caesar salads; both were limp. Our main courses were "turkey" but it had no resemblance to any turkey I have eaten (it was also overcooked and dry) and what seemed like reheated (and barely luke warm) vegetables. We were told we were the last sitting of the night and it felt like the food we were being served had been sat around a long time. None of it seemed fresh and none of it was hot. There's simply no excuse for this unsatisfactory and underwhelming meal especially when the bill for two came out at over $500.

Host Wasn't friendly. Rude actually . Allowed other people to get cocktails and our party had to wait to go to bar. Do not go here. Used to be fun but when down hill. Stuffy and not worth it. Stay away.

So, we hit up Mr. Lyons Steakhouse for my girl's birthday dinner, and let me tell you, it was one heck of a ride. No reservations? No problemo. They totally hooked us up with a spot, and while we were waiting, they sent us to this secret bar behind a curtain. Inside, they were playing "Wedding Crashers" in black and white, which was a great addition to the ambiance. After about 30 minutes of chillin', we got seated at this cozy table near the main bar. Started things off right with a chopped and tossed wedge salad and some bomb bread rolls with herb butter. Seriously, those rolls were like fluffy clouds of heaven. For the main event, we went big with the beef Wellington and steak and frites, plus some Mac and cheese and corn on the side (shoutout to the bartender for the rec). Let me just say, flavor town, population: us. And the beef Wellington? Absolute perfection. As if that wasn't enough, they topped it all off with a complimentary dessert for the birthday girl, complete with a candle. Talk about the cherry on top! All in all, Mr. Lyons Steakhouse delivered big time. Killer food, killer vibes, and killer service. Can't wait to do it all again.

Denisse L.

Yelp
Ate dinner here today and it was overall a really great experience. I didn't catch my servers name but he was so friendly and attentive. I ordered the filet mignon and my friend ordered the beef Wellington both came with a perfect cook. We ordered the brussel sprouts and Mac as sides again both delicious. For dessert they brought out an ice cream scoop with a candle for my birthday which was sweet and we ordered the toffee date pudding which was maybe the only thing that wasn't as great. It was slightly too dry for me. The place had a really cute red carpet style when you walk in and seating added a nice gloomy mood to dinner. I would love to come back here on my next visit!

Had a great evening at Mr Lyons on 1/28/24. My husband and I made a reservation for 5:30pm, and we sat on their lovely patio. The fireplace they have is really beautiful and puts out a lot of heat, nice and toasty. Mo was our waiter and he, along with a number of other excellent people, took great care of us. He had excellent recommendations, and we left full and happy. We shared: - Onion rings (Mo recommended a half order, which was definitely the right call) - the wedge salad (they were kind enough to split it for us) - the corn side dish which had great heat - NY strip, perfectly cooked and the addition of the roasted lemon to squeeze on top was awesome - the iberico pork steak, again perfectly cooked and the persimmon verde salsa was a wonderful addition - Lyon's Sundae (recommended by Mo, and did not disappoint) mint ice cream with a delicious chocolate sauce Service was outstanding, the venue was lovely, and I had a great time.

This is a classic upscale dinning (dark room)restaurant. Perfect for dates and birthday dinners. Been open since 1945! Wow! It's expensive but if you value great service delicious food this might be the place for you. Make sure to get reservations for parties of 3 or more. Victoria was our server and she was attentive and great for recommendations. It was my birthday dinner and our first time so we attempted to try as much as we could. I'm so glad they packaged our left overs at the end of the night. The highlight was meeting one of the assistants (I believe) her name is Janelle; she was a delightful soul. So happy to be working at this restaurant. I'm certain she will become a great server soon enough she said her brother had been working there for a while and finally got hired some month ago. Make sure you keep her on staff as she's got upper management written all over her future. We've been all over Italy north to south and We never had Italian wine that didn't have a cork in it. Go figure. Regardless we will be back.

Staff was amazing and attentive. The server was so sweet as was the host. I hate to leave negative comments. While visiting PS over the weekend, we drove by and decided to go for a fancy dinner. I wish we kept going. We each ordered the burger on the rare side and I was very disappointed. The meat was dry and hardly pink. It was covered in a weird melty cheese sauce and topped with leaks and grilled onions. I scraped it all off and asked for some mustard which barely helped. The fries were also dry. With that I ordered a side of rolls. The butter was off. I'm not sure what it was whipped with but it was not palatable. We will not return.

Dropped in for a quick night in Palms Spring, stayed at The V so we were a short walk away. Our Service was absolutely excellent! Thank you Emmanuel. The cocktails were delicious, I had the Aviation was so tasty and fresh. Food was outstanding, the bone marrow is a must try! Deviled eggs looked like artwork but tasted even better. We had the prime rib. Ive seen some negative reviews but I thought it was pretty darn tasty and such a great price. We also had the Brussels sprouts. I forgot to take pic but don't let that stop you. Have the Brussels sprouts! The Ambiance was classical and intimate and just what we needed. The decor is beautiful and has such a great vibe, We really enjoy ourselves at Mr Lyons. I wanted to treat my boyfriend for a small quick dinner to initiate his birthday weekend and this was so perfect. Thank you!

I cannot understand where any negative reviews are stemming from. We have started a yearly tradition to visit Mr. Lyons for our anniversary since F10 catered our wedding and we had our after party at Seymours. Our last visit was as perfect as the first few visits. We started with the bone marrow, buttery, deep bones, beyond tasty and the shrimp cocktail was very fresh. My husband had his favorite beef Wellington which was made to perfection as usual. I had the A5 Wagyu Striploin cooked medium rare, and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had - cooked to PERFECTION! We also shared the Carolina gold fried rice which is our favorite side dish, coupled with some martini's it was a perfect evening. We realized our waitress was the same person from the year prior, who remembered us and asked about our wedding. Also, a special thank you to Brittany and Claire from F10 who made our wedding epic and always get us our favorite booth when we visit. Can't wait for next year!

Yelp
So sorry to leave a not so good review... Great ambiance. My steak lacked a good char, it was more like a broiled steak. My $72 NY steak was chewy due to the broiled cooking technique. I ordered the $18 sauce medley, and WOW the overuse of corn starch made them all inedible. Gloppy textures, it was like eating "slime" that my kids play with. The only edible sauce was the chimchirri because it's not creamy. The only side vegetables were sugar snap peas and deep fried Brussel sprouts--I was looking for classic creamed spinach or any nice green side dish. I would not go back.

So we went to the speak easy here and it was great! Definitely check out Seymour's. As for the restaurant, avoid it. Especially if you're black or brown. We went to the speakeasy this evening and had an amazing evening then tried to go to the lounge and were completely and rudely dismissed. First, we went to the host to ask if we could sit at one of the several open tables. We were told the lounge was full. Then, we went to the bar at the restaurant. There were a total of three open spots. As we approached the bartender said, "did you check with the host???" We went back to the host who walked me back to the bar, looked at two empty spots and said to my face, "sorry, those are taken." Ummm we saw the couple that was there leave, they even nodded to us that it was now open. He did offer one of the standalone open spots even though we had two people. It was incredible though, as other, parties walked up, suddenly seats were open. Do better Mr Lyons. The host that was there on Friday, May 24 is giving you and your restaurant a bad wrap. Good riddance. Too bad you don't represent what Palm Springs is really all about.

Arrived in time for happy hour at the bar. I have to say...I enjoy a dark lounge with a chill vibe. We were planning on a couple of stops, so kept it light. A few cocktails and snacks before moving on. Drinks were great...we'd happily come back. The snacks were solid...crispy and giant onion rings (though a touch oily), a petite (but giant) wedge salad, and a brilliant dish of sugar snap peas with hazelnuts and a herb-butter sauce. I wanted to try the steak tartare, but they couldn't exclude the truffle oil from it so I declined. I find truffle oil way too cloying. Service was excellent. Parking on a Friday night is tight, but use street parking and it'll be okay.

A must do in Palm Springs. From start to finish, it is a swanky spot, doesn't feel like a boring steakhouse. We didn't have a reservation, they were able to seat us in the lounge, which is a great vibe. Carlos was our server and took good care of us. He paced us well and gave us recommendations, didn't disappoint. We split the Potato Chip Salad. Sounds so weird, it was so flavorful! The tarragon dressing combined with all the components was insane. Also had the Handrolls. A variety of hamachi, crab, steak tartare, and avocado. Each one amazing. Our mains, we had the Steak Frites and Burger, sharing Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Twice Baked Potato. Impressive quality, elevated steakhouse staples. Very well done. We wanted to try more, but were stuffed! We saved room for cocktails at this amazing Backroom Lounge called Seymour's. Some of the best craft drinks I've ever had. Fabulous from start to finish. We will return!

I've patronized Mr Lyons for nearly 15 years. On my most recent check I saw a 2% kitchen appreciation fee. It is sneaky, underhanded, deceptive. no one likes to be tricked at them of a dinner

My husband and I went Mr Lyons Steakhouse to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We are living in the Palm Springs area for just about 6 years and this was our first visit. All I can say is I wish I went there sooner. The food, service and atmosphere were amazing. We were happy from the moment we walked through the doors to when we left the property. We started with a cocktail to toast our 25 years together and shared the Parker rolls and Caesar salad for an appertizer. They both were extremely yummy. For our entrees Joe had a filet mignon which was cooked perfectly and I had the New York Strip Steak which was tender and delicious. For sides we had were fries and roasted Brussel sprouts, which were so good. When I made the reservation, I mentioned that it was our 25th anniversary and after dinner, the waiter brought over a special dessert for us to share. It was a home baked cookie with delicious vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. it was a perfect finish to a perfect meal. Thank you Mr. Lyon's for making our anniversary so special and memorable . We will be back.

Love! Love! Love! Mr Lyons. I brought friends from NYC who are very picky eaters here for a lovely dinner and everything was perfection. Our server could not have been more patient and helpful. The drinks and wine were delicious. The appetizers were delicious. The Main course was fantastic. AND the room is really comfortable if a bit old school in a very cool way. I really can't wait to go again. A perfect place for out of town guests, a romantic dinner or to cozy up to the bar for a martini and a snack. Thanks!

So we went last night for Thanksgiving . I had made a reservation and was looking forward to prime rib as people have said it was delicious. We got there and waited a few minutes of course which was no problem. Got seated at a small little table. Then were not presented with rolls or appetizers. Then had a very limp wedge salad and had to ask for the rolls to be brought. Ordered and were told they were out of prime rib, we were very disappointed however, minutes later, they came back and informed us that they did have prime rib, so we were looking forward to that. It was probably the worst prime rib we have ever had not tender at all, sides were OK but all in all a very disappointing meal. Especially for the price. Upon departing spoke to other patrons that were equally disappointed in the quality of the prime rib. I want to give them another try and try the prime rib however, I am hesitant. The staff on the other hand were nothing but polite and most efficient aside from our waiter. He was just OK. I hate to leave bad reviews, but one needs to be honest and hoping the restaurant can step up their game as they advertise fabulous prime rib.

Absolutely sensational. The staff was just amazing and the food was delicious. We were there for a pre wedding dinner. It was a lot of fun. We had plenty of drinks and food. We had the rib-eye, and chocolate cake. Wow. The drinks were by far my favorite tho, all of them were extremely well done. Looking forward to coming back soon. The valet was also complimentary so that was a huge plus.

We went here for our 22nd anniversary. The host let us choose which table we wanted when we arrived early. The wait staff is quick and the food was outstanding! The complimentary dessert was so awesome too. My husband's filet was cooked to perfection. The brussel sprouts were off the chain. I had the prawn cocktail and French onion soup and I'm telling you, it was a treat!! I think it's our new favorite spot for special occasions!

Mr. Lyons knocked everything out of the park! Appetizers were a little out of the ordinary and all delicious. My scallops were cooked to absolute perfection as well as the filet. Brussels so good we had to get a second order. No one was in the mood for dessert but somehow managed to clean the plate of all three that were ordered. Don't skip on the date cake. 10 star service and vibe. Coming back, hopefully soon

Ran out of prime rib at 6:30 on Thanksgiving day. Its crazy how they run out of prime rib at a steak house with a set menu with only four main course options.

This is our "go to" place for a weekday date-night out. We love sitting at the bar: Russel and Allan are terrific bartenders, attentive servers and great conversationalists! Last night Kevin filled in, and he is superb too. Great happy hour menu, well-made cocktails, fun setting, and the steaks (which can be ordered from the main menu) never, ever disappoint - they are always cooked to perfection to your specifications. Sam at the hosting station is lovely, and the new GM, Roston, is a delight, too. We always feel welcomed and well-cared for. We LOVE Mr. Lyons!

Air conditioning was not working on an evening when temperatures were above 100 degrees outside. Very uncomfortable in the dining room. Food was okay but service was poor. This was our 2nd time eating at this restaurant. We won't be returning.

Fist the service was top notch. The food on the other hand did not meet the hype. I had the signature prime rib, and all I can say is NOT GOOD. I ordered it medium rare. When the food came, the plate was cold as well as the meat. The sauce also had no flavor. Not sure what other people are ordering or giving such high ratings, but for me this is a big pass, regarding anything steak...

This place is very cool. Call back to old school dining. Food was good, only negative was pricey but then again what isn't these days. Definitely will return.

Friendly staff. My last experience was fantastic but last night was a different experience all together. After I ordered my prime rib sandwich it was delivered within minutes. I noticed the meat looked well done because of the color. I asked for a to go box after eating half of it. About 4 hours later my stomach started acting funny. I was sick all night and couldn't sleep. I should have sent the sandwich back when I saw it but everyone was so nice I didn't want to be a bother. My bad
