Lemon & Thyme opened 7 months ago and just had their first seasonal menu change. Lots of favorites are still on the menu. Many staff formerly of SOCIAL are here out of their sheer love of the top notch cuisine. It is creative, flavorful and beautifully presented in a tastefully renovated strip mall restaurant steps away from SOCIAL. Gabriel was our waiter and immediate best foodie friend, helping us choose the most satisfying and perfect amount of selections. Every bite was impressive and it was hard to say goodbye to Gabriel without asking when he was working next.
