   We went on a Sunday evening. My wife had the rack of lamb and I had the Moroccan Duck. Both dishes were terrific.

   Best BYOB around!! Always a fantastic meal. Top ingredients and care put into every single meal. Our favorite place to go. The staff is amazing and very informative. Chef Ash is by far one of the best chef's anywhere.

   Lemon left a sour taste!! Most of the food was tasty except for the chocolate flourless cake which tasted like gas from the grill Yuk!! The problem was with the manager who should be fired!!! After waiting over an hour for our entrees we chased our waitress down and she claimed it was being plated. After another fifteen minutes and still no food my husband spoke to the manager. He immediately blamed the kitchen. When food finally came out my son’s chicken Kabob was sitting on faro even though we were assured the dish was gluten free. Thankfully we noticed this as faro would have made him very sick. My son’s food naturally had to go back making us wait further all the while those around us who were seated after us were eating or finishing their meals. After we finally got our food the manager said he would make it right with dessert. After the waitress confirmed this we ordered 4 capachinos and two pieces of chocolate cake which were inedible. When the bill came we were charged for the coffees. My husband asked manager who immediately got nasty and rudely claimed that my husband was blackmailing him and he proceeded to yell at him and make a commotion. Notably the coffee was much cheaper than had we ordered 4 desserts !! It also probably only cost them $1.50 each. Disgusted with how we were treated we tipped our waitress (who said kitchen always has issues when it is busy) in cash, paid our bill and left never to return!!! I did message chef ash but I did not get a reply. For all I know the manager intercepted it or not… 🙁

   I have been here several times and always bring friends as the food has been great and the service wonderful. As you can see by my review, tonight was not one of those nights. We ordered Lemon Appetizer (assorted dips-Tzatziki-babaganoush) but no pita or other accompaniment was provided, just a spoon. We ordered Cod, Salmon and Chicken Kabobs. I had the Cod and was very good. Both salmon was overcooked and one came out without any sauce, due to gluten free request. It was not planned well by the kitchen because the waitress said they can use a different option. We ordered dessert that was good but then were handed our check at the time of dessert being placed on the table. Should have known that was a problem as we had two different people come by asking us for the payment. Had we been lingering or the restaurant being full with a line out the door, that would make some sense. Unfortunately, we had a 515 reservation and this was 630 when they asked, and there were multiple tables open.

   The food is always top notch at Lemon. They have such a great variety of options. Our server was very friendly and attentive. One of the best restaurants around and we love that it’s BYOB!

   Overall experience good, spinach casserole app and the shrimp torte were very good...we shared the cod with lemon risotto entree, unfortunately it was bland and too buttery...no lemon taste to be found. Another problem is the parking since it's in a strip mall.

    Had a great dinner. Food was outstanding. The portions are large and delicious. We had great service and a good value. It's a BYOB so that helps. Would highly recommend this restaurant for a great night.
