Everything was excellent. Few tables occupied for dinner at noon on at Sat. Very quiet and pleasant. Server could not have been more attentive and personable while being professional. Recommend the lamb shank and homemade papparselle with lamb rib.

We were there at 2:45 and apparently, the Price Fix menu had just begun so we couldn’t order the appetizer we wanted. We went ahead and ordered from the restricted menu and the owner came to our table and asked how everything was. I mentioned we were disappointed we couldn’t get the octopus as an appetizer. He said no problem. I’ll get it for you. We assumed it was part of the $75 per person we were paying, but when the bill came, we were charged an extra $25. That should have been explained to us. Love the food but felt bad about the pricing was really excessive.

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
