The best meats are well marbled with fat and fat is what imparts flavor to beef.
How would you describe "very fatty"?
In the prime rib world, fat is usually a good thing. Just curious...as I cannot visualize a lean prime rib.

Duck is not beef.0 No comparison.
I Love the lobster pie and the prime rib. Next time, I'll try the duck. I know from experience, I'll be happy at the Lyons Den.

Fat is a great thing if it doesn't take away from the weight of the steak--I ordered prime rib from a local establishment (I won't mention it because it's well thought of and it might start a war) that I would have been embarrassed to serve my patron. I wish I'd taken a picture because it was literally half fat and took me more time to cut out the good stuff than actually eat it.

I love well marbled prime rib and rib eye but a good 1/3 of the prime rib was pure fat. Too much.

Sounds like too much alright....
In ordering the prime rib tonight at the New Woodshed...let's see what I get!

Two dishes to try at the Lyon's Den that won't disappoint -

Chicken LobScar (spelling incorrect, sorry Lauren)
Steak au Poive

Beware, as the menu states, the "au Poive" is NOT for the faint of heart and if your in any doubts have it served on the side

.

Taz · 10-20-2016, 01:44 PM

My favorite is Veal Marsala, you can cut the Veal with your fork! Delicious!

How do they serve the peppercorn crust on the side?

Phantom · 10-20-2016, 02:59 PM

Pineneedles -- it's a peppercorn/brandy sauce

A VERY HOT sauce, I might add !!

and please don't say to just wait for it to cool then

My favorite at the Den is the blackened swordfish, it's simply awesome and brought in fresh daily!

My wife's favorite is the chicken lobskar.

Wash it all down with a bottle of Stags Leap Artemis cabernet, our favorite!

I'm hungry now...and thirsty!!

My favorite is the fried oysters...But agree that dinner at the Lyons Den is excellent.

It appears no two postres have the same favorite. I therefore draw the conclusion (at risk of not being able to get a table in the future) that everything on the menu is excellent. Specials too.)
Call ahead. Make a reservation. You'll be glad you did.

joey2665 · 10-21-2016, 06:48 AM

I agree. When I went Saturday I as just looking for a seat at the bar to eat and the was not a chair to be had and the dining room was filling up quickly.

The owners were super nice and squeezed me in for a table in between other reservations in the dining room
