Good food, but very "Americanized." If you want true Thai food, go somewhere else. I was listening in the kitchen and the cooks/preparers were speaking Vietnamese. Service is not so good and there is a sense of "haughty" by the the bartenders and servers. Not necessary for a restaurant of just middle caliber.

The food is great! It is our go to spot for Thai and we live 30 miles from the restaurant! We bring friends every time we come and they fall in love with the place too!

Excellent food and speedy service in this delightful neighborhood Thai restaurant. Spicy entrees are clearly labelled; what's nicer is that they will make them for you without the extra "zing" without any fuss. I especially liked the crispy asparagus, pad thai, and fried bananas with coconut ice cream. Outdoor patio dining is available, weather dependent. They cater too!

Enjoyed our recent visit to Lemongrass. Atmosphere was nice the service was prompt and friendly and the food was very good. The soft shell crab platter is very good. The lettuce wrap appetizer with grouper was also a nice beginning to our meal. I had the pineapple fried rice with shrimp. May not be the best place for a larger... More

Love the intimate, local atmosphere! I was impressed by what a wide variety of innately gluten-free dishes were available, and with the staff's understanding of the diet. I ordered the Drunken Noodles - delicious!

Inhad tempered expectations for this place. I had heard good things, but was absolutely surprised at how great the food I here. Not authentic Thai but had some really nice elements. I loved the crispy green bean appetizer. The lettuce wraps were a nice fusion dish, but left me a but underwhelmed. I had the special nam tok beef dish... More

I visited Lemongrass with a few colleagues this evening—it really was excellent. Lovely, cosy atmosphere, fast and friendly service and outstanding food. I had the Tom Yum soup and a Beef Massaman curry—both were delicious. The Thai Iced Tea also comes strongly recommended!

Each time we go, I love it more! Small, intimate & cozy. Always busy. Great, fresh food. The Ginger Perfect and Lemongrass Pork are outstanding. Start w/a soup, try the spring rolls, and enjoy anything on their menu....you won't be disappointed!

My husband and I had been to this restaurant once before when family was visiting. We sat on their patio because our parents had a dog with them who needed to come with us to dinner. It was lovely and the food was delicious. When I saw a groupon for the same restaurant, I grabbed it! This time we sat... More

Lots of interesting choices. We had delicious spring rolls and Satay chicken to start. Fried rice is a meal in itself - the chicken was great in it. We got a child's portion to share. Curry dishes can be hot but they will accommodate and make them less spicy. They say they take reservations but they really don't. They won't... More
