Lyon's Den: a new favorite
My wife and I went here for the first time last Saturday night and we had a great dinner. This restaurant has DEFINITELY moved to our favorites list. We were both in the mood for steak, and we each had almost the same meal: house salad with bleu cheese, filet mignon with mushroom sauce, mixed seasonal vegetables, so I'm sorry I can't talk about the variety, but at least we differed on our potatoes. And wow, I have to tell you, everything was, in our opinion, as good as it gets. Cooked perfectly and delicious.
We had a great small table near the window and watched the hearty souls fishing off Glendale (many!). The restaurant filled up but never felt crowded. I was pleased to see that my wife's glass of wine and my martini were adequately sized (one of my pet peeves...). Even the mixed vegetables were special: crisp and buttery with a mystery vegetable that I thought was summer squash and my wife thought was water chestnut, but our waiter told us was yellow carrot... nice!
It's so great to see a new restaurant start up and do so many things right.
We have to agree with upthesaukee. We're going back!
