Lyon Grill

Lyon Grill stands as South Lyon's premier dining destination, where Executive Chef Valentino Palushaj has dedicated his career to delivering an exceptional American dining experience since opening in 2005. Located on Pontiac Trail in the heart of downtown South Lyon, this contemporary American restaurant has earned 6 People's Choice Awards and a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence, testament to its consistent excellence. The menu showcases premium cuts including a showstopping 42-ounce Tomahawk Ribeye, tender filet mignon paired with Maine lobster tail, and flavorful lamb chops, alongside fresh Lake Superior whitefish and Maryland-style jumbo lump crab cakes. The appetizer selection impresses with crispy calamari, a chef's selection charcuterie and cheese board, and Ahi tuna crisps. The bar program features craft cocktails like the Witch's Brew and Rhubarb Manhattan, complemented by Michigan wines from Leelanau Cellars. Weekend reservations are essential at this neighborhood gathering place where locals celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, and quiet dinners alike. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between upscale and approachable, with attentive service from Olga and the team. Don't miss the New York cheesecake or crème brulée for dessert, and if available during colder months, Olga's legendary bread pudding is a must-order.
