"I’m cheating slightly: I ate this in the final week of 2018. Close enough to 2019 to count it, right? Bar Lyon impressed me. The Columbus Hospitality Group’s restaurants are always solid, but this feels like the most accessible of the bunch, the kind of place you can go to with some regularity, not just on special occasions. The French onion soup is currently the reigning champion on my French onion soup list, and if I lived closer, I would surely be at Bar Lyon’s bar weekly throughout the winter, sipping wine and eating soup. —RLB" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle, Dana Hatic
