I’m giving this 1 star because the kale salad was actually pretty good and the woman working the register was polite. However, the quiche was cold and the lemon orzo salad was dry and nothing about it tasted like lemon, it was very plain and flavorless. We won’t be going back unfortunately.

Food is fresh and healthy, the atmosphere is very casual located within a bookstore, ordering at the counter. It is quiet and peaceful until a light-haired worker (or owner?) came to our table half way through our meal.

My friend and I both ordered the Lemon Tree lunch special. Our third friend was looking for warm, grilled chicken to top a salad which the Lemon Tree does not offer. So she got what she wanted from another restaurant as take out and brought it in. She is diabetic with a very restrictive diet.

This worker came to the table to inform us (not so kindly) that this time we can eat the outside food, but next time outside food is not allowed, that "it is rude!" I apologized and she walked away. She could have politely let us know outside food wasn't allowed, which we understand. But to tell us it was rude, was rude. We won't be coming back to dine in again - not worth the attitude.

I believe this survey request is my second. I really like the Lemon Tree and feel great about this business being next to Destiny Dance. I have been well treated here.

First time here. The menu is a little confusing. Came here before deciding to order their meal plan…. Ordered a slice of quiche and an arugula salad. The quiche was cold in some places and warm in others. The salad had like 3-4 pieces of an orange, a few crumbles of goat cheese and about 12 pieces of shaved beet with like 4-5 cups of arugula. It tasted fine but the topping and dressing ratio to greens was way off. Not sure if I will order their meals to be delivered.

The Lemon Tree is such a treasure and the food is always delicious! I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying their extensive lunch menu, the special order sides at Thanksgiving, and recently we’ve been ordering the family meal plans while I’ve been recovering from a surgery. The food is always fresh and healthy, and it feels like a warm hug. And the lemon bars… highly addictive! The new location in the Renaissance Center plaza is perfect, especially now that you can browse Page158 books while you eat. It doesn’t get any better than a good meal and a good book!

I absolutely LOVE Lemon Tree. They have the best lunch combos around! I also appreciate how accommodating they are. I made a special request to pick up a small dish at the last minute, and they were so courteous to honor my request. They have my business for life.

Stood in line for more than 10 minutes because the cashier was very friendly with an old customer. It was a slow day and no reason to be waiting so long to pay for a loaf of bread. Maybe, there might be another opportunity to try this place in the future.

I have never had a bad meal here! Their salads are my favorite and they are always changing things up with the seasons. The ladies are always working hard, but they still put a smile on their faces and help customers (even the rude ones). I love coming here!

Since the Lemon Tree relocated to the Renaissance Center, my family has nothing but praise. My wife and daughter participated in a charcuterie board class and had a blast. Then last Friday, we went to hear the Gravy Boys perform and was blown away. We will definitely be back for more food and events.
