    During our trip we came here for dinner. We got a few drinks and ordered the steak frites, sea bass and a biscuit. The steak was cooked right and tasted good with the chimichurri over it, unlike the steak I got from Punta Morada in Islamorada, FL. The sea bass was also good and flavorful. As for the biscuit with the honey butter, it was very good even though the first one we ordered came out very burnt on the bottom and when I was looking at it the waitress came by and switched it out. We would suggest making reservations.

    We only stopped in for one drink but the Lyonshare Public House made a lasting impression. The bright and airy vibe makes this Main St bar a go-to for a good cocktail. Very welcoming and laid back. The Old fashioned I had was delicious. All the drinks I saw the bartender make looked great as well. Well done.

    It's a smaller place but pretty inside. The 4 stars are for their food...best steak and eggs I've had in a while. Very tender meat and the sauce and crispy potatoes were delicious. Their drinks were weak tho. Annoying lol. Id still come back to try their other dishes!

    Inside -- it's NEVER this empty; we got there right at opening one time.

    I've been to Lyonshare a few times now; twice for date night, so just the two of us, and once with a group for weekend brunch. I'm a fan! First, I think I enjoyed being there with just one other person (or perhaps a small group up to 4?) to be able to hear each other. Lyonshare is popular already, so it's usually pretty full and the acoustics are pretty acoustic...y... A favorite of ours is the burger -- I know it's funny to lift up a burger, but when it's a really good burger, you lift her up! The mac 'n cheese is rich and comforting; I'm not a huge thyme fan, and the breadcrumbs on the top are flavored with thyme, so less of a fave. But if you're into that flavor you will dig this. At brunch, we had a whole bunch of different things -- the Beacon Benedict was a big hit, as was the biscuits and gravy and avocado toast. Someone at the table next to ours got the ricotta toast, and when I politely exclaimed, "OOOH, WHAT'S THAT?" the person told me and said it was delicious. Everyone who works there is lovely, especially the folks who greet you -- whether the person/hostex at the front who checks your reservation the person behind the bar or any of the servers and food bearers -- the atmosphere is really comfortable and warm. Looking forward to our next visit!

    So I've been wanting to try this place since it first came on the scene. It use to be a place run locally so didn't know what to expect. it was completely different from what I expected but in a good way. The owner is an absolute gem. The staff, are a bunch of sweethearts. The best way to describe it, I would say is it reminds me a spot you find in the city. It works for it's a date night, a girls night, or just a group friends. Make reservations in advance though, for the weekends. It's warm and inviting, but there's an upscale essence that exists. The dish, is just perfection. I was hesitant at first, debating whether it would be filling without your typical starch element, but it was just that. The bass that I had played well off of the anise and the dill. Oh, and the bar selection is extensive. Plenty of options to choose from but the ancient mariner is my personal favorite. I love sweet drinks. This is sweet but balanced. I'll leave the rest to you to experience and maybe, I'll see you there!

    This place has such a great vibe. Whether it's just you, a special night like an anniversary, or a big group of friends (I've experienced all three), the atmosphere is perfect every time. The food is consistently delicious (the kind you actually look forward to coming back for), and the menu always feels thoughtful. Cocktails never miss and the staff is top tier. The live music is what really sets it apart. It's not the kind of generic background stuff you hear at other places. Every band feels intentional, like they were chosen because they truly fit the space. All around, it's one of those spots that feels welcoming every time and delivers on all the things you want: great food, great atmosphere, and music that makes the night memorable.

    Valentine's Day dessert with strawberry and hazelnut
    Danielle D.

    My husband and I visited Lyonshare on Valentine's Day and we had an excellent early dinner. The restaurant is beautiful and the host was very welcoming. We started with the oysters and pierogi, and both were excellent. Our half dozen order included oysters from Nova Scotia, Massachusetts and Virginia, and they all tasted very fresh. The pierogi were elevated with a creamy sauce that was beyond delicious. The Madame Brett cocktail was really refreshing and the thyme flavor came through strongly. The fried chicken was really good and the biscuit that comes with it blew us away. It was the best biscuit I've ever had and my husband who doesn't even like biscuits loved it. The gnocchi was also really good. The order was a little small but it was just enough to share with the fried chicken. We ended with a special Valentine's Day dessert that was fabulous. Highly recommend Lyonshare for dinner and drinks.

    I've probably dined at Lyonshare no less than a dozen times this year. I am smitten! I tell everyone I know about it. I recently had dinner and am really loving the new winter menu. The sea bass is perfectly prepared. My dining companion ordered it as well and remarked that she never eats the fish skin, but this is so delicious she had to! As always, the biscuits are my absolute favorite menu item. I can honestly say this is the greatest biscuit of my life, which is really saying something given that I'm from the South. I also love the curation and taste in music. It's not often that a restaurant gets both the food and the music so perfectly attuned to the time of day and service. Every detail is meticulously accounted for. It's a place where you are invited to linger, have another smartly crafted cocktail and settle into cozy conversation because everything about this restaurant is just so well done

    Fried half chicken and biscuit with slaw
    Kelly K.

    We came a on summer monday evening and got seated 20 minutes before the kitchen closes at 9pm. Our food surprisingly came only 10 minutes after our order was put in. The chicken was amazing, juicy on the inside crispy on the outside without the batter being too thick crusty or filling. It felt pan fried rather than dropped in a vat of oil. The biscuit was thick fluffy enormous and went well with the creamed honey butter. Everything paired well and the cole slaw helped cut through the richness of the other parts of the dish. The pierogis were mild in flavor compared the Chinese dumplings or pan fried gyoza. It was pillow savory and light. I cared more for the picked onions and onion remoulade they were sitting on, than the classic filling but it's a good pick if you're hungry and looking to fill up on something starchy. The best but not the last dish is the sea bass, two filets encircled with lightly dressed vegetables. I added pickled red onions to balance out the olives. The parsley tapenade is by the far the most delicious part. As essential as the sauce is for baked escargot. Well worth it! And finally, the cookie skillet dessert the size of the palm of my hand. Take it with traditional vanilla bean, chocolate or mint chip. An all American hot and cold treat like this never disappoints! The service was great and accommodating, our server was able to describe thoroughly and guide us gently into a decision. No pressure! Thanks Lyonshare! Youre making the Beacon restaurant scene better and better!

There is also the perennial complaint of cost - but a dinner for three that included two drinks, three appetizers (one of which was bread which at this price point should be complementary, and anther a tomato salad), and two entrees should not be $180. The steamed dumplings were reasonably tasty, but the wrapper was too thick and I question the addition of corn. The duck breast was generally under-seasoned and bland, and the skin had not been fully rendered out. The biggest disappointment was the tuna nori - the strongest flavor was an off putting fish taste. The accompanying rice (jasmine and not short grain?) and bok choy both tasted like they had been cooked in nothing but butter. The view is nice, but I don't plan on dining here often.

I reminisce arcade video games were always localized at shopping malls. Happy Valley Arcade Bar contains many games and snacks as well as alcohol and non-alcohol drinks are available. There is a coin change machine which was not working. This arcade video game business does contain a bathroom facility. It does provide a temporary mental detox or mental phlegmatic disposition from life's stressors in a casual relaxed atmosphere without judgment and without pressure of looming deadline for quota. There is also a small photo booth which can only fit two people. It was impossible to cramp six adults in this miniscule booth. There is an outdoor patio for seating. I hoped to see Grand Theft Auto, but to no avail. Arcade cabinet games are: Pac-Man 1980 I played for $0.25 and lost at the first round. Donkey Kong 1981 No comment. I did not play. The Simpsons 1991 No comment. I did not play. This depicts violence as Maggie is kidnapped because a large stolen diamond, inadvertently, landed in her mouth during a melee and she begins sucking on it like a pacifier. The rest of the Simpsons family gives a violent chase in pursuit for retrieving Maggie. Mortal Kombat II 1993 No comment. I did not play. Street Fighter II 1993 No comment. I did not play. KungFu Kickball I was on the red team and won against a good longtime male friend. The final score 3-2. I feel like Danielle de Barbarac who slaughtered her longtime childhood male friend, Gustave in mud fights. "Boy or girl, I can still whip you!" Danielle de Barbarac in "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" 1998 film. Because the capable woman is never far away as I am right here! Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2002 Wow! This dancing video game reminds me of the movie "The Kissing Booth" which appears exactly as is. Pinball Oh, my inner child surfaces! No comment. I did not play. Pinball games are very classic and simple as the objective are all the same with a carbon steel or chrome steel ball with flippers. It is a game of chance. I would play pinball at outdoor fairs or festivals while eating funnel cake with strawberries. I remember playing Initial D Arcade Stage: Cycraft Edition 2003 where the seat drastically shifted, leaned, and jerked violently sideways to perfectly match the mountain-pass touge drifting mechanics of the motion-simulator racing game. I remember I jackknifed a vehicle! I lost this five minute racing game with my then boyfriend. Disappointedly, this video game cabinet is not available at Happy Valley Arcade Bar.
