The food is aromatic and authentic. Absolutely delicious. Chef Ash personally welcomes you to his restaurant. Even though the restaurant is crowded the noise is absorbed by the decor and you can have a nice relaxing meal while conversing with your table mates.

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.
