Best Restaurants with Great Beer in Savage Mill

Longtime patron writing first review here. Lyon Hall consistently turns out a great menu and is my number one choice in the Arlington/DC area to take friends and clients for dining and drinks. Cocktails are always on point (I had a Boulevardier recently that was spot on; the Paper Plane to Paris is also a tasty version of the original) and their wine/beer list is approachable. Surprisingly, there were no sour beers on menu, so perhaps they have removed them for now (?). My date wanted a sour beer but ended up with the cider, which was tasty and perfectly dry, just what she wanted. This visit I ordered the 3-cheese board and pretzel appetizers and both were tasty: pretzel was large enough to share for sure and arrives with three spreads; the cheese board was well-presented and not fussy: sour cherries, candied nuts, delish toast points...a great value and solid starter. For entrees, the duck breast and roasted chicken were ordered, both cooked perfectly and were the perfect portion size for a hungry diner (although not overly large; if you are famished, perhaps an appetizer or filling up on their incredible bread would be advisable). In recent visits, I've ordered the wild boar ragu; the risotto; the pork schnitzel...all very Fall-y, warm and well spiced. Ambience is modern-professional but not cold and at times can be a bit noisy (especially in the bar area). Staff is friendly: Dana came by our table to ensure that everything was up to par and wished my date a happy birthday. Our server was friendly, provided good suggestions and immediately checked when unsure of an item (the sour beer) and its availability. I'd highly recommend Lyon Hall for dining, drinks in a classy environment or their catering. In my 15 years in Arlington, they've never missed.

Delicious food! We asked for a quiet part of the restaurant, and the hostess seated us in their back room. For most of the meal, we had that space all to ourselves and we were able to enjoy the food, the drinks, and the conversation. That made a perfect evening!

Always a great place for a meal. Whether meeting friends or just having a meal with your significant other, Victorias is always a great idea. They have an extensive drink menu and a seasonal food menu. I always seem to end up getting a Cobb salad. They are so good! Service is always great and the ambiance is warm and cozy.

Making advance reservations worked great and front staff sat us right away. Our waitress was exceptional, knew the menu, hospitable and helpful throughout. Drink and rest of the group's food was tasty. I selected the Mediterranean chicken bowl and chicken and chickpeas were over cooked and tasteless. I recalled in the past that this dish delicious so was very disappointed with this go around. The HH drink and appetizer special are good price for what you get. We will come back, but I will be more discerning with what entree I select.

Loving them with friends and family service was great.
