The food is delicious, and while the portions are large, the food is light and airy. The service is impeccable from start to finish with a friendly atmosphere. I had guests from out of town and they were so surprised with how friendly everyone was.

In the last few weeks, we have been going farther afield for restaurants. We hit upon Lemon. without anyone recommending it. The whole experience was terrific. Alex, our waiter, was very personable, saw our two young grandsons and we talked about his nephew, including pictures. During the meal, Chef Ash came to visit and told us about his restaurants. The whole experience was almost as if we were at somebody's house. The food was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.

This was our first time at Lemon and it met all expectations. The service was perfect -- friendly, professional, efficient -- and only outshined by the food -- expertly prepared and presented and DELICIOUS! The octopus is prepared over 7 hours and met with rave reviews by my fellow diners. The mixed grill is abundant. The lamb shoulder was so tender, the meat fell off the bone. Pappardelle and braised lamb -- YUM! Rice pudding -- traditional prep, creamy and soooo good. Chef Ash...
