    This was a birthday dinner and it was wonderful. Lemon Grass is my favorite place for a fancy dinner. It did not disappoint. And the chocolate slipper for dessert with a candle was fantastic.

    Our server Hunter was excellent. My wife has some food allergies, so he confirmed how her dinner selection was prepared. Thank goodness he did. After consulting my wife, he quickly was able to change the dinner order. The atmosphere was quiet yet elegant. The food will really get your taste buds souring for more.

    This was my first time at Lemon Grass and I will definitely be back! I had dumplings, seared tuna and chicken satay as my meal...all delicious! The service was also impressive...her description of the food was spot on and the courses flowed with great timing. My son is a freshman at SU so we just came from the game. Next time, I may do a quick change out of SU gear into something a bit more fitting for the vibe.

    Not a typical Thai restaurant. More of a combination of a high-end seafood restaurant and Thai. Very pricey for curry and typical Thai dishes.

    This restaurant was recommended by friends to us and overall it was very good! Our server Charles was helpful when it came to the specials, spiciness and how many dishes to order. Not sure exactly where in the process these items lie, but here was where things weren’t great - the lobster curry was supposed to have the lobster that was served in the shell be cleaned and cut in the kitchen - NO work for the eater. All the curry dishes arrived but it took at least 5 minutes for the accompanying rice and that lobster needed to be removed from the shell and cut into pieces - one person in our group took that role on as we were eating family style. When I mentioned this to our server, he apologized and stated that he would report this back to the kitchen.

    Was in town for a weekend event and was looking for a place that could accommodate multiple food particularities. Had been here severe times over the years but not in town frequently enough to be a true regular. The meal did not disappoint, particularly the house duck specialty. Desserts are exceptional. Look forward to returning when next in Syracuse again.

    Waitress was exceptional and the food was both prompt and delicious. Atmosphere was a bit louder than I would have chosen for an anniversary dinner had I known in advance. Perhaps I am just out of touch, but 1 glass of wine, 1 Makers/rocks, 2 Thai dishes and splitting a sorbet with 2 coffee's was almost $180 with tip.

    My husband and I went to Lemon Grass for a special occasion and special it was! We both enjoyed beautiful appetizers, with my husband getting the sashimi and I the cashew ravioli. Both were amazing. My husband could not believe the quality of this sashimi. For our entrées, we both had lobster as our protein and it was fresh and succulent. We each got dessert, the strawberry Napoleon and the chocolate stiletto. Our waitress Sue was fabulous and we thoroughly enjoyed the piano and saxophone music. We had a perfect evening and will return for sure. We each had a couple of drinks and the check was about $210.00, so pretty pricey, but we did get lobster and had 3 courses. Worth every penny.

    Hadn't been here in awhile so we were pleased to see the quality has not gone down. It is expensive, but everything was delicious, finest ingredients and beautiful presentation. Cocktails and wine were $13-$16 which is pretty much average these days for a fine restaurant. Dinners were around $40. All appetizers and entrees were interesting and not run-of-the mill at all. The waiter made recommendations and explained the dishes accurately. I had scallops with an incredible sauce and husband had their famous duck. And of course the desserts were incredible. Only cons: Service was super fast. It almost felt like we were being rushed out and there were plenty of tables. Were we not drinking enough? I don't believe this was the fault of the waiter since he said he was surprised, too. Also, I noted on the reservation that we were celebrating our anniversary. No mention was made of this at all. I didn't say anything either but it would have been nice to be acknowledged.
