We ate there tonight for the first time. The restaurant was almost full, but we were taken promptly to our table by a friendly hostess for our 6:30 reservation. The space is lovely with a warm full service bar and a sushi bar. Tables are far enough apart to enjoy conversation. The menu is large and varied. Appetizers run from 6-9 dollars, soups and salads $3.50-6; entrees 16-20. Portions we saw were fine...not too large nor too small. Appetizers, expectedly, emphasized fish and seafood, entrees included meat, chicken as well as sea specialties. We had excellent calamari with Saigon slaw and three dipping sauces, Thai mussels, Tuna Martini ( ginger, lemongrass, tobiko ) as well as a spicy salmon roll. All were excellent, only quibble was the crispy rice noodles with the Martini were so crispy as to be difficult to eat. We did not order an entree as we were stuffed. Desserts, as one would expect from Donna Love, looked delicious and we shared a frozen coconut souffle...the only problem being we wanted more. All desserts are $6.00. Our waitress was knowledgeable, efficient and really seemed to care that we enjoyed ourselves, which we did. We only have two concerns. Lemon Grass will be so busy we won't be able to get a reservation and, more seriously, we hope the restaurant food and service stays consistent. With Mike and Donna's professionalism and experience this should not be a problem. Finally, we have no relationship to either the owners or anyone at the restaurant. We just like good food and a pleasant dining experience.
