Good Luck if you want to waste your time and money.

I disagree with this, and also question your suggestive comments about Skelleys... But we all are entitled to our opinions

We have been going to Lemongrass since it opened and it is one of our favorites. The food is fresh, creative and tasty. The service is attentive ( yes, they do refill water glasses), the surroundings clean and restful. It is not budget food and no one pleases every customer, but we love it.

Right on. We crave LG as well and always find it to be fantastic. We've made a deliberate decision to spend our (limited) dining out dollars at Lemongrass, to try and support this local gem.

And we agree, the oyster app is out of this world...we like them spicy!

No fan here ..... Hope the service improves this season.

I think the service is excellent.

My wife and I ate their on Valentines day. The dining room was packed and our server (Steve, IIRC) was very attentive, without being a "table stalker".

The food of course was superb as well.

Lemongrass is one of our favorite restaurant indulgences in the area.

I agree, in my opinion Lemongrass is the best non-traditional cuisine in the area. I have always had top-notch service.

I'm wondering why you aren't a fan, if it's not the service then why? I'm considering going there soon, would like to hear good and bad with details. Thanks.

my feeling over a few years and many visits is that Lemongrass has the most professional, knowledgeable servers in the area. Certainly the type of food may not suit everyone and every place has an off night but Lemon Grass is a gem. We're coming up for a week (although it is 75 degrees and dry HERE) and will stop in and try Lemongrass again.
