Diner Reviews
  • "As usual the food and service were on point. We went for valentine's day dinner. We were suprised that they added the gratuity to our bill. They have never done that before."

  • "I was very pleased with the courses I had at the restaurant, this evening. The lentil salad was a great way to start when accompanied by very good hummus and a generous basket of pita. I thought my main course, the lamb shank, great. The ambience may be a bit plain at this restaurant in a Freehold strip mall, but the food is delicious!"

  • "Great variety of food; Mediterranean yet not like a typical Italian Restaurant"

  • "Chef Ash creates a warm and inviting atmosphere and is creative in his fusion of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes."

  • "We were excited to find this restaurant in our new neighborhood, but it didn't live up to our expectations. First the service was slow. We waited too long to be greeted by our server. Then our entree course was slow as well. The young teen age wait staff was not attentive and didn't know the menu well and weren't able to answer questions. The food was not seasoned enough and we did not get a salt shaker for the table despite asking for one twice. Overall, the experience wasn't worth the over 50 dollars per person we spent."

  • "I recommend making a reservation. It was quite simple using Open Table. Great food!!! Good for vegetarians!!! Attentive waitstaff. BYOB. Manager readily available. Warm and inviting host. Great for a celebration or romantic night out. Easily spotted location. First time guests and we will definitely be returning."

  • "With such a varied menu, it wasn't hard to find something to suit everyone's taste. The quality of the food was very good. The portions were not very large, but they were appropriate....nobody left hungry, but there were no "doggy bags" with leftovers either. I really enjoyed the homemade gnocchi, and although the paella was quite different from what my husband expected (not prepared as is typical in a Spanish restaurant), he thoroughly enjoyed it. Our friends also enjoyed the rack of lamb and the lamb tagine. The ambiance is nice and we love that it's BYOB. The wait staff is extremely attentive, and Ash, the owner, is warm and friendly. We would definitely go again."

  • "Our first time there. We wanted to find a new place. Menu lives up to the name of the restaurant. Several lamb dishes, fresh seafood including octopus. The owner, Ash, very attentive and personable. Came over, introduced himself and gave input on several dishes. Bottom line, we had a great time and will go bachk"

  • "The food here is a great way to experience the many tastes of the Mediterranean. The regular items on the menu are great but the specials can be an added treat. Everything is very fresh and delicious, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Also has a great lunch buffet."

  • "Started with a salad with small salad with pistachio and goat cheese rolled into little balls of loveliness. The zucchini and feta fried cakes were delicious. We enjoyed the perfectly cooked rack of lamb over cranberry polenta. The polenta was AMAZING! We didn't order dessert, but they brought us each a piece of biscotti, which was great. I don't usually eat biscotti. The chef, who checked on us periodically, brought us fresh strawberries with an amazing cream concoction. The live guitar player/singer was very good, but it was a little bit loud for my tastes. The waitress pretty much forgot about us, but there were like 3 other wait staff that visited us though out the meal. But the food is so good, I can can past that. Try it!"

  • "Overall the restaurant is good. I had two issues. I told the wait staff that I was allergic to berries and the dessert came on a plate with a berry swirl right next to the baclava. They apologized that they did not convey my message to the kitchen. Belly Dancer - absolutely ridiculous."
    Dined on 8/3/2013
  • "Food was great but pricy for strip mall restaurant. Service good if slow and prices on specials quite high and not explained when presented. Would try again but be sure of prices before ordering."

  • "Both my husband and I were delightfully surprised by this local Mediterranean restaurant. The food was authentic, fresh and beautifully plated. To start we had an unusual appetizer special: stuffed grilled peach with crab and gorgonzola cheese. It was outstanding. I enjoyed the chicken and lamb Kofta with porcini mushrooms and Israeli couscous and Paul had the Australian Rack of Lamb with a cherry reduction sauce. Baklava for dessert was yummy. Our waitress, Melissa was terrific and so sweet. The Chef came over to chat a bit and told us of his monthly Sunday night cooking classes consisting of 6 courses costing only $45. We are definitely interested in that. They also have entertainment on Friday nights. This was a BYBO. I highly recommend."

  • "This was my husband and my first trip to Lemon. The food and service were outstanding. Chef Ash came out and introduced himself to us. We ended up leaving a deposit for an upcoming cooking class. Everything was fresh, delicious, and perfectly seasoned. Fantastic!!! Outstanding!!! Can't wait to go back!!!"

  • "Restaurant could use a bit of updating, but the menu varied and interesting. Everyone in our party of five thought the food was quite good. We initially felt we were being rushed out, but the servers slowed down a bit and we were able to enjoy a leisurely dinner."

  • "Found "Lemon" since its location was 1/2 way between friends home and ours. Walked in at 7 p.m. on Saturday and restuarant was relatively empty. By 7:30-7:45, not a table could be found. This is a restaurant that wants you to enjoy your evening and does not rush your dinner. They gave us time to visit over our BYO wine....and then took our orders. We all enjoyed the appetizers (quinoa salad, farro salad, rice balls), along with the warmed pita and hummus. Our entree's arrived in a timely (but not rushed) manner....and we were all happy with our choices (tagine, paella, salmon, salad). Dessert intrigued us (warm caramel dates, flourless chocolate cake, almond cake). After 2 1/2 hours, we left sated and happy."

  • "We've eaten here a few times but never on a Friday night. I could have done without the belly dancer but everything else was great!"

  • "very small portions; like manhattan. front table is the best."
    Dined on 3/23/2013
  • "We had an very tasty meal and excellent service.....the only issues in our group of 8 were that it was a little pricey since everything was ala carte and because of the poor divide between restaurants ...the curry smell from next door carried over to our table area ..but we all agreed we would likely go back!"
