The food was pretty good. They had a duo singing and the music was so loud that we couldn't have a conversation at a four person table. I would definitely go back, if there weren't performers. Good selection of food food and drinks and a nice space, but an impossible atmosphere. The service was good.

The best lemon drop I've ever had! Went here for happy hour and the drinks AND food were amazing! Plus the atmosphere is great and the owners were so nice!! Can't wait to visit The Lemon Drop again!

Everything I've ever eaten that was cooked by lemon drop has been beyond impeccable. There is just nothing like it anywhere in cowlitz county! The deserts are always my absolute favorite! The atmosphere is so welcoming and chic! The staff are wonderful and provide delightful conversation. I almost can't decide if I love the chef or the deserts more ❤️ lol..almost...This is a must try!!!!

What a wonderful start to.our evening! We couldn't believe we were still in Longview as we listened to live music, sipped specialty martinis and had a very tasty dinner. Thank you for providing a relaxing venue for your patrons!

Great atmosphere, very personable and friendly staff, and a menu that while at first sounded questionable to my unsophisticated palate, surprised me by presenting my taste buds with the oral equivalent of a true Shakespearian drama. Also their lemon drops are bomb. Try them out. Loved it.
The food was overpriced and mediocre. $15 for some noodles with a little butter and a sprinkle of Parmesan Total for 3 people; 2 beers, 3 mixed drinks, 2 entrees and 2 app was $150.Had live music, duo was really good but way too loud for the small restaurant. Could not hold a conversation at your table and we sat as far away as possible.

Food and drinks were some of the freshest I've had in a while from a restaurant. Appreciated that the business supports local and has high quality food. Wish I lived closer. Had the Thai lettuce wraps and lemon drop. Was very good. Service was fast and didn't have to wait to get in.

I have dined here so many times and I am always impressed. There isn't one seasonal menu that I haven't enjoyed. Each menu caters to many dietary needs and the owners are very friendly.The plating is beautiful and and the food is TASTY! I have a hard time choosing what I want to each when I come in because there are so many alluring items to choose from. Additionally, the menu features unique dishes that can't be found elsewhere at fair prices. They even support our local farmer's market. Their values really are amazing. They are worth supporting. I eat here often for the food but I come back because I want to support local businesses and I appreciate their values. I feel welcome and comfortable here even though the establishment has "nicer" atmosphere.Vegetarian options: So good! Many options!!! You don't have to compromise flavor! I would get vegetarian options even if I wasn't vegetarian! They are even filling.Dietary restrictions: They cater to a lot of dietary restrictions which is nice because I'm allergic to a lot of foods and I never have to worry about what I'm eating.

This place was amazing! The food and the drinks were delicious. They made some of the best lemon drops and blood orange margaritas that I have ever had. The waiter and staff were very friendly and it was a perfect experience. I will be back!Vegetarian options: They offered soy curls as an option but I did not order them. They had plenty of options for vegetarians.
An outlier among the bar and grills that abound in the tri-city Longview area! Here you’ll find seasonal craft cocktails, farm to table food showcased in a stunning menu, and the friendliest most hospitable staff I’ve encountered at any restaurant in the area. When I walked in at opening the staff was jamming punk rock- a perfect match for my tastes! It’s a truly snazzy foodie cocktail bar in a small town- you can’t miss the Lemon Drop if you want a big city dining experience out here in SW Washington ???

Easter Sunday brunch was amazing. Great wait staff, and excellent food. We had burnt ends hash, eggs Benedict with crab, and brioche french toast. Everything was delicious, can't wait to go back. This place is where to go if you want a great experience. Thanks for a memorable meal lemon drop.

We had our daughters baby shower catered by lemon drop. It was absolutely delicious and beautiful. If you enjoy the restaurant, you should consider these guys for any catering events you have coming up because they do a fabulous job. Thank you so much.

We went on a very busy night and had to wait a long time for our drinks and food. The prices were high, but the food and drinks were very tasty. The charcutterie board was enough to share between 2 quite generously.

If you're looking for overpriced & small portions of food, this is your place. Not to mention they have some of the most uncomfortable chairs to sit in. To summarize:Atmosphere: It's cute and has some great decor. Definitely is a great setting for a nice dinner. Very uncomfortable metal chairs.Service: Average... Polite & Nice, but I'll relay everything back to the price point and so it didn't stand out as either really good or bad.Food/Drink: The drinks is where this place shines and salvaged a 2 star vs just a one in my book. All parties enjoyed our drinks! Food was okay, portion sizes were not just small, but rediculously small. I could understand smaller portions if the food was TOP Notch as with the fancy places, but we didn't feel the food was anything special, lacked flavor, and although it wasn't bad, just knowing the price for what it is just didn't cut it in our book.Price/Value: Drinks were good, but the food was 100% not worth the price. Also, to sneak a credit card fee on the bill at the end is completely tacky and already for the price of the food, just unreasonable. $95 bill for 2 and we left hungry...Would we return is the ultimate question: I would honestly say no, we would not. The price, portion sizes, & credit card fee really disappointed us.
