Lemon never disappoints. The menu is full of fresh, healthy, delicious dishes. The service is always fantastic and Chef Ash always make sure that all of his customers are happy. My favorite meal is the Bronzino and my husband’s go-to s the lamb chops. The Burrata appetizer and is also a crowd favorite. For dessert, the bread, pudding or rice pudding are fantastic.

This was our second time dining at Lemon, each has been very good. The staff was engaging and friendly, a delight to talk with. The food was first rate. We started with the Sicilian Rice Balls, they were outstanding. Our entrees were hanger steak and crab cakes, both delicious, but the hanger steak was one of the best beef dishes I’ve ever had. Lemon is now at the top of our dining out list.

Every thing was excellent but something happened and our food took a long time to come out. It would have been Nice for them to tell us what was going on instead of us guessing.after I asked the waitress filled us in. Aside from that everything was good

I have been to Lemon twice and both times it was excellent. I went with family once on a week night and the staff was incredibly accommodating and hospitable. The food was also amazing! The other time I went on a weekend with friends and even though it was packed, the staff was great and the food was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Everything was delicious. Waiter was attentive. Hummus was creamy with a touch of lemon. The Arugula salad had a great blend of flavors with just the right amount of dressing. The Paccharia was cooked just right and the sauce was outstanding
