Jonathan – I’m surprised to hear that about Ken Lyon. I met him at his restaurant and I didn’t find him rude or unfriendly. I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience.

My first experience was wonderful. The specialty homemade sodas, past and service was great.

My 2nd time was quite different. The carbonara was dry and bland. The pizza was tasteless and sloppy. The server was very nice. BUT The owner KEN LYONS does not know how to be a gentlemen. He is rude and unfriendly. HE wont succeed with that attitude or food. I used his catering service for years and never said thank you or even a hello on either occasion. He actually turned his head when my party left after spending 400$…..

Walking into Fratelli Lyon gave me an impression of being in a cosmopolitan city, a restaurant always come with rough edges that will file off with time, HOWEVER, good food is what will prevail.
I was seated at the bar where I was squeezed between two rather rude patrons that kept bumping their arm on my chest as they ate without apologizing. I was quickly presented with the wine list, and ordered a glass of wine, which was the smallest pour I have ever had. Of course I was quickly asked if I wanted another glass once I finished with my first one, feIt a bit pushy. The rest of the patrons around me were well taken care of, plenty of water, plenty of bread. I had to ask fo water and was never served bread. The Chef/owner approached both sides of the parties surrounded me (I was dinning alone) I was not acknoledged by him at all.

Ordered the sweet & sour beets, which basically were boiled dice beets on a plate, plain & no appetizing presentation for about $8.50, not many chefs can mess expensive diced boiled beets!

As a main course, ordered the lemoned scallop rissotto, which was bland and soupy, the scallops garnishing on the top were actually tasty.

Skipped the desserts.

I always judge the tidiness of a restaurant by their bathrooms and when using Fratelli Lyon’s left a lot to wish for. Just did not want to imagine how that kitchen was run, if the bathroom was so unkept and shocking to me, that this place was just recently opened!.

I have been a fan of Kenneth Lyonâ€™s food since Lyon FrÃ¨res and am very excited to be able to have access to his culinary talents once again without having to host or attend a party catered by Lyon & Lyon. I am sure Fratelli Lyon will be amazing, since the owner has the â€œMidas Touchâ€ for excellence. I cannot wait for the opening and will most certainly be a very frequent customer.

We have been to many excellent events catered by Lyons and Lyons. Now, we are excited to be able to eat his food anytime(rather than waiting for another catered party)!!!

We were extremely impressed by the authenticity, quality and presentation of the food, and the friendly professionalism of the staff.

It was particularly enjoyable to practice speaking Italian with our delightful waiter who is from an area in or near the Friuli region.

We will definitely be among Fratelli Lyon’s first customers when it opens!
