Lyon Street Bar and Grill

I will be brutally honest. I know that most of the reviews on here are from locals, just as I am, and he's a likeable guy so you're going to get mostly good reviews no matter how good or bad there food experience was. My experience has been lukewarm. Out of the five different dishes I have ordered for takeout, there is only one of them that is really stand out. Almost everything, however, is overpriced. I only decided to post this review because tonight I was very much disappointed. I was originally going to order the corned beef and cabbage dinner, but the previous night I had spoken with someone who suggested I NOT do that because they had ordered it and they were disappointed with it. So instead, I ordered the bangers and mashed for the St Patrick's Day Holiday- $19.44 with tax. I ordered it because I had seen a photo of it that a fairly well known local citizen had posted, and it looked to be very good with a very generous portion. Wow, was I disappointed when I picked mine up. Almost all potato, ( and by the way, isn't it supposed to be mashed potatoes?...) most of them undercooked, with two smallish sausage links. Really?? For 20 bucks? My order certainly looked nowhere near what the aforementioned citizen's looked like. Let me put it like this- I had to go to Burger King about an hour later and grab two hamburgers just to fill my hunger largely due to the fact that I basically had undercooked potatoes for dinner. Ridiculous and very disappointing. Again, I am not intentionally trying to bash a business that is a startup in the city, and like I said, the owner apparently is well liked. But at the same time, I am not going to sugarcoat things if there are good reasons not to. The taste of the food is not bad, however it really is overpriced and the portions are absolutely nothing to write home about...... but maybe that opinion depends on who you are. I guess I'm going to give up on them because I have just not been all that impressed. I gave them more than three chance. I gave them five, with 1 out of 5 being actually worth it. Yes, I suppose I could have called and complained about this, but they were extremely busy due to the St Patrick's Day holiday/festivities going on in the city so I didn't bother. I would have gotten nowhere.

Good food. Great service

The eggplant parmigiana was 10/10. Great!
