Our first visit to Lemon was very nice. The ambiance is beautiful! The service was attentive as there were many people serving our table. My fish was delicious. My husband's dish looked amazing! (The presentation was a work of art!) The flavor was underwhelming. Just ok. But overall it was a nice experience.

Best whipped hummus served with pita and very good crab cakes entre. Uninspiring gorgonzola and crabmeat pear appetizer , rice balls were just ok. Home made pappardelle pasta was bland and overcooked, however the short rib and porcini rage was superb. Baklava and complliments feom the Chef of homemade whipped cream with strawberries were delicious

Despite its location this restaurant continues to be one of the best restaurants in Monmouth County at. Service is impeccable constantly monitored by Chef Ash, he is an affable host and overseeing the restaurant’s food as well. I have been dining here since he’s been there and have always enjoyed our meals. My favorites include but not limited to the Cioppino and Branzino entrees and don’t sleep on the rice balls or the baklava.

As always the food was fantastic. We brought some friends for their first visit & everyone loved their food. The staff is always attentive & very pleasant. And Chef Ash cares enough to check on every table & make sure his guests are happy. Dinner at Lemon is always a great experience.

My girlfriend of 55 years has been coming to this little'gem' for years and loves the chefs food and his staff. She insisted taking us to dinner there last week. I must admit, it was one of the best meals we've had in years! I'm not exaggerating one bit. Our other girlfriend with us agreed 100% The lamb was to die for! Two of us had the rack of lamb and one of us had the parpadelle noodles with lamb Ragu, OMG! What started off this fabulous meal was the complementary plate of delicious lemon hummus, I deemed it the best hummus, ever, and we've traveled all over and enjoy hummus frequently, the best! The octopus was tender and delicious. It was definitely a delicacy. I can't say enough about what wonderful service we had we didn't want for anything. Everything was five star. If I didn't live live on the West Coast, I would be back there in a heartbeat once a week! Until next year, lemon Mediterranean ...!!
