   A little gem. Great food, great service. We found this place by random search. Had burgers, wedge salad avocado toast. All of them were great. Gabrielle was our server. Very Friendly and attentive service. Will definitely go back.

   What a great find. Food was amazing. Everyone was so friendly. We started with steak tartar and shrimp ceviche both were great. The short rib ravioli was to die for as was the mushroom risotto. The noise level was perfect with great background but low enough so you could still carry on a conversation. We will be back.

   Such a lovely place with amazing food. Everything was delicious. We started with the cheese and fruit platter…the cheeseboard was generously large with a great selection of cheese, fruits and crackers. We ordered the ravioli, pork belly, fillet mignon and rib eye. Everything was perfect. Beef was perfectly cooked to medium rare and came with mashed potatoes. Pork belly was wonderful, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Definitely try the baklava cheesecake, the flakey phyllo crust with the cheesecake was so good. Service was also great. Our server was attentive and the restaurant was cozy.

   Thank you so much for this beautiful review! Everything we create at Lemon & Thyme is made with genuine love—from the first slice of cheese on the board to the final bite of baklava cheesecake. Knowing that you felt that in every dish truly means the world to us. We’re especially happy to hear the beef was cooked just right and the pork belly hit that perfect balance of crispy and tender—that’s the kind of detail we live for. We’re also thrilled the service and cozy atmosphere made your experience complete. Thank you for noticing, and thank you for letting us do what we love.We can’t wait to welcome you back again soon. With heartfelt gratitude, The Lemon & Thyme Team

Our team explained this during your visit, as we are meticulous about ingredient integrity and kitchen practices. Our team takes great care ensuring that all ingredients are properly handle to maintain their integrity. We'll certainly take your feedback about the oil into consideration. We always strive to provide the best experience possible and hope to have the chance to serve you again in the future. Best, Lemon & Thyme

   Thanks to fellow yelpers, we found this foodie standout on our first night in CA (and we are already scheduling our next meal there!). Lemon & Thyme opened 7 months ago and just had their first seasonal menu change. Lots of favorites are still on the menu. Many staff formerly of SOCIAL are here out of their sheer love of the top notch cuisine. It is creative, flavorful and beautifully presented in a tastefully renovated strip mall restaurant steps away from SOCIAL. Gabriel was our waiter and immediate best foodie friend, helping us choose the most satisfying and perfect amount of selections. Every bite was impressive and it was hard to say goodbye to Gabriel without asking when he was working next. I had the new Airline Chicken which is heavenly with its marscapone mashed potatoes and veloute sauce. Kudos to the chef and the attentive staff. Here, you will enjoy the whole experience and think about it for days to come.

    This restaurant was recommended to me by a friend and it didn't disappoint. Very cute and quant place in Costa Mesa. The waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable and the food was delicious. We were celebrating a birthday and they brought out a yummy crème brulee. Would recommend for a romantic dinner or evening with friends or family.
