Another fabulous evening. We went early on New Years Eve. They had just changed the menu for the new year, so we ended up with a bottle of champagne- Pierre Jouet blanc de blanc - - first time for that one and it was great. Their wedge salad is yummy and big enough for 2 to share, with an interesting presentation . Order it and find out for yourself. Husband had the whole branzino, grilled, with beluga lentils and grilled vegetables -another lovely presentation. I had the grilled octopus, served as a warm salad, with a melange of vegetables.: every bite was a bit different. They cut the octopus in bite sized pieces, so no wrestling with it to cut it up. Flavors were interesting - each bite a different combo of ingredients. Dessert was their interesting baklava cheesecake and a combo of ice creams : mexican and one with cardomon flavor - both were worth the calories! Service by Gabriel was top notch and fun. We'll be back .

We had dinner on a boat parade night so the place was empty. That actually made it very special as it was nice and quiet and the service was fantastic. It was our first time there and the food really surprised us. Very good. I can't say enough about the baklava cheesecake. Definitely the best cheesecake I've ever had

Airline chicken and Short Rib Ravioli were both delicious and the Baklava Cheesecake lived up to it's reputation. Robert was an attentive and warm server.

Great food, great service, nice table settings and nice atmosphere. Location was hard to find but now that we know where it is, we will go again.

This was our first visit to Lemon and Thyme. Everything was outstanding: The ambiance and decor of the quiet little place, the wonderful waiter, Chef Jacquline visiting our table, and the excellent food. Oh, those homemade rolls! The wedge salad and my salmon were very good, my husband had the ravioli and loved it. We'll be back soon!

We went last week and it delicious. My husband had the pork belly with celery root puree. He enjoyed the flavor and texture of the pork and the contrast of the puree. I had the clam chowder, which was more of a soup than a chowder, which I really appreciated. Bacon too! My wedge salad was fantastic! My only complaint would be the bread rolls-not very flavorful. The service was excellent!

Our first time to Lemon and Thyme will definitely not be our last. This restaurant deserves a Michelin Star for food and service. The creative menu delighted all 7 of us in our party from appetizers to mains to dessert.
Rowena
Incredibly impressed during our first visit. The service, menu selection and food were all great. We will undoubtedly return and highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious meal.

We love this little restaurant. It's intimate, noise level low, the food is terrific, Matt the server is expert! what else could someone want?
We loved everything about our experience here and will be back next time we're in town. We loved the relaxed ambience and the background music, the service was impeccable and not rushed, and the food was 5 star. We had wine and they brought warm dinner rolls to the table that were carb heaven. We shared the cauliflower appetizer which was delicious and generous. My husband had the Mushroom Risotto and loved it down to the last grain. I had the salmon which was cooked perfectly and had a yummy light sauce. Our time there was the perfect end to our Million DollarQuartet play.

My favorite restaurant in Orange County. Fantastic food, great ambience, and our waiter, Robert, provided 5-star service and made it look effortless. A very rare thing to experience these days when dining out.

Chef Jackeline created a beautiful private birthday brunch for my daughter's 15th birthday! She has a calm demeanor and her goal was to make sure the birthday girl was happy. Goal accomplished and then some. She was a joy to work with. We had an Amalfi Coast lemon theme which matched the restaurant perfectly. She accommodated our private party of 26, created a gorgeous custom birthday brunch menu (I offered to print it), custom brunch menu selection, beautiful fruit trays, mocktails, prepared delicious food, homemade sorbet (I can't stop thinking of the lemon one) and baklava cheesecake sprayed with rose water (this dessert alone is worth the visit) and provided us with the best servers. Their brunch is phenomenal but I highly recommend going there for dinner as well. For dinner, I think it's best to do family style as there are so many options to try and the portions are generous.

I went with my mom and sister to celebrate a birthday. The food was delicious, service was amazing, and the ambiance was very cozy. It's been a few months since I went, but I'm still thinking about the peach cobbler they had. Definitely recommend this place if you are going out with family or want a cute date spot. No bad words for this place, just fond memories.

Food is so good - a combination of Spanish influenced dishes and other international twists. The duck entree is out of this world. So is the pork belly. You gotta save room for dessert - the baklava cheesecake is nothing I've ever seen or tasted - the nutty sweetness lingers in between the phyllo sheets....it is really unique and shows the talents of the kitchen. Bravo! Services by the staff warm and welcoming. Roberto is a real professional! Thank you!
