Food Scene

This is the heart of Arlington all day and all night. During the day you will find writers and readers and journalists and mothers and fathers and doctors and dogs outside drinking coffee and at night all those same people, except maybe not the mothers and fathers, are upstairs drinking wine.

Lyon Hall used to be the trophy store but now it is one of Arlington's best restaurants. Highly recommend the happy hour mussels but you can't leave Lyon Hall without trying the soft pretzel.
