We came to Lemon Grove before we saw Wicked. From the time we walked in the service was perfect! The vibe of the restaurant was buzzing. We had a party of six and everyone ordered something different and could not say enough how delicious everything was. The cocktails were not only great the presentation was fun. We enjoyed the staff and they went out of their way to make our experience special. To the nice guy in the fancy suit that took our family photo cheers to you!! Thanks for a perfect experience.
