First time at the Lyon Grill and it was a busy night! We had a guest in from out of town and the Lyon Grill was recommended to us. There really isn't a lot of fine dining options in the area. The overall decor and patio is very nice and I love the bar set up! The staff were very accommodating and they offer a nice selection of menu options. I was very disappointed with my chicken piccata entree. The mashed potatoes came out cold and looked like a lump of potatoes you would see in a lunch line at school and the chicken was super salty and very tough! I took two bites and was done! My salad was soaking wet, so I know it was washed but it was not appealing! The rattlesnake pasta looked good; it was super spicy as the name implies! My friend enjoyed her fish! I think the French fries were the hit of the show! I would not consider this place fine dining. They do offer pizza and handhelds which might be a better option in the future! I would come back for the bar!

The atmosphere came off as a higher end restaurant, with a nice "romantic" flair, including candles on the tables and dim lighting. Something you would see in a resort town on the water, similar to the old Weathervane in Charlevoix or Ricciardi's in Eastport. Price per plate is a bit higher, but it's not a turn off as the walleye, and Euro burger both were really good. Our server was also very sweet and helpful in knowing her menu well, and was able to assist us with deciding a little better on what we wanted. Food was served promptly too. Most menu items end up around $30 per person, as it's $1.00 for raw onion or $3.00 if you want fries etc. The cons of this trip: The burger was beyond medium well, and very dry. Our server did all she could to assist, it's not her fault. There are many places that have trouble getting temperatures right at times. She had another one right away to replace it. And it was fine after that. The other issue is sports. I'm not sure what it is with this state, that everybody seems to think everything has to be about sports. It suddenly turned from a nice atmosphere, to guys uncontrollably losing bladder control, yelling and clapping over some game on the tv. I guess we were hoping to get away from the sports bar atmosphere for a minute, and apparently there's nowhere anyone can go, including here. Maybe one day they could put Yellowstone reruns on, and we can jump up and down cheering uncontrollably when someone goes to the train station! Not trying to down the place, we think it was just an off night for us, so we'll try again in the future. They have some pretty good reviews from others and we're hoping to get there also. Everybody (EXCEPT the Pound in Brighton) deserves a few tries. It's a very clean place with beautiful accents, and the flame lanterns outside are a great touch.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. The steak is so good and one of the best around. Highly recommend each time we go waitstaff is great and food is too.

Chicken with sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese.

We were last here about two years ago. We both had fish, which was great. Tonight we stopped in and the place was packed. They don't take reservations so we put our name in and waited about 25 minutes. Friday night. All of the servers kept checking on us. Our server, Rachel, was very helpful and knowledgeable. My wife had the chicken with sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese. Entrees came with soup or salad. Her salad was very fresh. I had the veal Marsala special and clam chowder. It wasn't traditional but still very tasty. Also a nice glass of wine. Portions are pretty large, we both took food home.

Decent restaurant considering not other options in the area. On the expensive side as we just got a $17 Caesar salad and it was another $12 to add 3oz of salmon......Fish and chips at $27. The world we live in is more expensive but not sure this is worth it.

My friend and I were on a shopping excursion and I found Lyon Grill on Yelp. After glancing at the menu, I was very intrigued by the Traverse City Burger. Burgers with unique flavors always catch my eyes and this one has sautéed dried cherries, blue cheese, and onion straws. The burger was done just right - medium well - as ordered and the bun was nice and toasted. Otherwise the burger flavors were just alright. I didn't taste the cherries much and the blue cheese was overpowering in some areas. The onion straws didn't add much either. I'd try another burger here, but wouldn't get this one again. The sweet potato fries presented as waffle fries were also very average. My overall lunch was pricey! The burger itself was $14 then adding a side of sweet potato fries added another $3. And to top it off our waitress charged me $1 for a small container of truffle aioli (which my friend had with her burger). It was good, but not $1 good! The place seemed clean, it wasn't busy so the noise level was good, and seating with ample. Overall just an alright experience and I'd try somewhere else if in the area again.

Steak bites. Very tough.

Took my mother in-law out for dinner on Sunday afternoon. We were sat right away. Server was nice and fast. Appetizer was steak bites and bread, steak was grissily. Husband and mother in-law ordered fish, they were happy. I ordered rattlesnake pasta, great with a spicy kick. Toddler got spag with meat sauce and a meat ball. We had cheese cake and chocolate cake(was not good) for dessert. The only thing I can complain about was that the food took a little longer than I was hoping. I asked for everything to come out asap bc the toddler doesn't last long at sit down restaurants. The server coursed the food, ie app first then salad, then entrees. I specifically asked for everything to come out as quickly as possible. All that being said the food was great. I would definitely go back, just without a small child. It was my choice to take a toddler to a nice sit down dinner. But it all worked out.

Cancun Mexican Grill is located in the Gateway Commons strip mall next to a bank. The menu is a small spiral binder because there are so many menu options. I ordered the Birria Tacos because it was only beef tacos in the Taco section of the menu. The birria tacos are made with slow cooked beef. It was a little chewy and my corn tortillas were falling apart. I had to resort to eating them with a fork. I later ordered tacos for a friend to-go and I was shown the ala carte section at the back of the binder with ground beef tacos for purchase for one or three tacos. I believe those were better than mine with hard shells. The service was fine. They were very quick in bringing our food. We started out with chips and salsa. I would have liked individual saucers for the three of us so we weren't continuing to dip our chips in the same bowl of salsa. The restaurant is a nice size. They have plenty of seating options - booth, table & chairs and a bar area. Tip: Look for coupons in the local paper for $7 or $10 off.

Every single employee said hello, gave a smile, or conversed with us. Wow! That is rare and it felt great to be there. I was very enamored by the mugs and light fixture created by a local glass blower. Beautiful work. Space is large and we sat at the long bar, but there are tables and booths too. Patio outside for those warm days. They offer beer, cider, wine, spirits... you name it. We went with a few beers and they were great. Menu is clearly labeled with sours containing lactose. Love when it's easy to spot. Food menu has loads of vegetarian options with a small few that could be vegan. We only ordered the spent grain pretzels with mustard and they were delicious. They do have tofu or Beyond burgers to sub on the burger menu if you're vegan. Carnivores have loads of options here. While I'm not in this area too much, I will absolutely be back to this friendly establishment!

Mandy behind the bar was super helpful with recommendations. I had the cherry hard cider which was slightly tart and delicious. Next I had a cup of Wild mushroom Soup which was earthy and rich. I could imagine it being cooked in a cauldron in the woods. Lastly I had their blueberry lemonade salad. Wow! This was a treat from the slightly candied walnuts to the blueberry vinaigrette. I look forward to going back because the fried avocado tacos were calling my name, but I didn't have room for more. This restaurant is definitely worth a visit.
