    The front of the menu

    Oof. Yes, what I wrote was meant to be a review and no, it was not meant to be an insult. Surely I am not the only one who has seen the similarity between that Progressive commercial and this restaurant and similar places? The food was fresh and tasty. It is the reason I would consider returning but "$12-$15" for a salad where I stand in line, pay at the register, find a seat and eat from a plastic bowl with plastic utensils seems a little high for this old boy. My wife regularly pays $14 for her favorite Southern Spin Cobb Salad at Backwoods Crossing where we are waited on at table and eat with utensils and bowls that are reusable and go through the dishwasher rather than into the landfill. I have even rationalized a steak salad for myself a few times because the amount of steak was similar to what I would get with a steak and baked potato meal and the salad meant I was eating healthier. Those too were enjoyed at a restaurant where we were waited on and ate with utensils and bowls that go through the dishwasher and not the landfill. I think I paid $17 for those. Maybe somebody was having a bad day but "methinks thou doth protest too much."

    The food is pretty good here. Similar to chipotle but fresher ingredients. Service was good also. May be hard to notice driving through this street. The only real down side is hours of operations not being open later in the day.

    Just recently noticed this restaurant and wanted to give it a try. Nice/clean area; outside dining available as well. Not a long wait for food (get in line and let the staff know how to build your food item); notably, there are specific menu items, but customers can also build a bowl. My daughter ordered a bowl with the panko-crusted chicken as the protein; I ordered a salad with honey citrus shrimp. The drawback to my salad is that there was too much dressing! I requested "medium" for the amount of dressing, but it seemed more like heavy dressing - my bad though; next time I will know to request "light" on the dressing. :o) I am looking forward to also trying the bowls and the soups!

    Super neat place. Simple, clean but inviting. The salad was amazing. Staff is very friendly. Only downside it's only open form 11am to 3pm which can make it hard for some to grab food there unless it's an off-day. But maybe that will change. Def. should try the place out.

    Had an excellent first visit to this new Midtown establishment. The line was long, but it moved quickly. The staff was patient, gracious and friendly. I had the Mexicali Trop salad with a few modifications. It was delicious, flavorful and filling. Parking and seating is a premium. There is outdoor seating but mostly uncovered. My lunch date and I walked down to another establishment outside in the shade as I saw a few other Lemon & Thyme patrons doing. Speaking of my lunch date, she ordered one of the grain dishes and her bowl was empty by the end of our time together.

    This is my second time trying Lemon & Thyme and I can wholeheartedly say it was great both times. Today I tried the Medi grain bowl with a mix of brown rice and quinoa topped with baby spinach, oven-roasted lemon chicken, herbed falafel crumbles, cucumber and tomato salad, chickpeas, feta cheese, and their Lemon Vinaigrette dressing. My only complaint about the food (that is not really a complaint) is that I wish there was more falafel or an option to have falafel as a protein because it was delicious! The dressing has left a haunting sensation on my tastebuds but not in a scary way, more in a sense of wanting to know the recipe because it was SO good. Each time I have had Lemon & Thyme I leave feeling satiated-not too full but feeling satisfied. Additionally, the silverware and bowls you eat out of are compostable or recyclable. The only suggestion I have regarding ambiance is to figure out a way to add more seating and to lower the noise with soundproofing of some sort during lunch rush as it was quite loud in there today and limited seats for the line of guests waiting to be served.

    I had a great experience for lunch at Lemon & Thyme today. Bright, sunny space that was really clean. Happy employees and great food! I had the Kale Caesar salad and added avocado, a really great lunch that fills you up but doesn't weigh you down. I'll be back!

    Just happened upon this jewel of a restaurant while looking for another restaurant! :o) We were not…read moredisappointed. We were warmly greeted and seated immediately. The dining area is not very spacious, but is intimate, which I really like. We enjoyed the background music, which was along the lines of smooth jazz. Our server was super nice and explained in great detail, the specials for the day. We started the meal with several appetizers: Spring Rolls, Fried Calamari, and Crab Cheese Wontons. We enjoyed the appetizers along with the sauces (except for the peanut sauce, which I didn't care for). For our entrees, we choose from the Specials menu, which was written on a board for all to see. I ordered the Red Snapper, which was fried and topped with carrots, baby tomatoes, onions, pineapple and cilantro. Had I been listening as I should, I would have asked to not include the pineapples or the loads of cilantro. The dish came with a side of rice. My husband ordered the ribs and chicken entree with noodles. He said the ribs were good; they were so tender that they slide off the bone. Both entrees were tasty; in my case, a quick fix was to push the cilantro and the pineapples to the side and enjoy my fish with just the veggies. To add to our dining experience, the chef and/or owner came out ask if we were enjoying our meal; love the special touch. We finished the meal with an order of ice cream that we shared. I am usually fine with just plain vanilla ice cream, but what we ordered was different and quite delicious. The ice cream is "home-made" and comes in exotic flavors. We choose the mango tea ice cream; it was mouthwatering! Overall, we had an enjoyable dinner and plan to return to sample other menu items. Note, if paying with a card, there is a fee (no fee with cash).

    Food is delicious and fresh! I have eaten in for lunch and have also ordered take out. We have…read moretried the fried spring rolls, mango curry, Massaman curry, beef pad Thai, chicken fried rice, and honey chicken. The curry is delicious. The spring rolls are good. I would pass on the fried rice next time as $20 for a half a take out container of rice is very high. The white rice was perfect. I found it a little weird that whole baby carrots are in the dishes. I wish the portion size was larger for the price. The portions are the size people should eat, but at around $25 for an entree, you kind of hope you have some leftovers. We finished everything in one setting and would have eaten more if it was available. The decor in dining room is interesting. I don't love the chair covers. The service is great. The server explained all of the specials when I dined in. When I called to order, the lady on the phone was able to help me decide on what to order. I would like to make this a regular place for us, but with a price tag of $110 for a family of 4 (no drinks since it was take out), it will stay a special occasion restaurant. There is a 4% charge if you use a credit card. The prices also seem to change frequently from the menu.

Food is authentic so it does take some time to come out. This place is some of the best Thai food I have had. I highly recommend giving them a chance!

    My wife and I were in the mood for authentic Thai food and decided to check out Bahn Thai. Based on…read morepictures and reviews, it looked like that's what we were going to get. We were sadly mistaken... Our first warning sign should have been when our waitress was taking our order. They were out of the Masaman double beef curry. When my wife ordered an alternate item, our waitress would say they were out of it. They were out of or not serving about half of the items on the menu. This was sort of acceptable, as our waitress mentioned that they were going to close for a month starting the next day. Fine, we were already seated and might as well try other dishes. We ended up ordering beef pad Thai and Panang curry with beef. 30 minutes go by and we still haven't gotten our entrees. Meanwhile, there was a party of 3 next to us that came in shortly after us. They had already received their food. An hour goes by and still nothing. Meanwhile, the party of 3 had already finished their food and we're getting the bill. I went up to the waitress to check on the status of our food. She went to the back and came out shortly and actually said, "I can't really talk to them back there, but they look like they're plating your food now, so probably about 5 more minutes". I was very confused. Why can't you talk to the cooks in the back? Oh well, 5 more minutes we waited, then 10 minutes. Finally, we were starving and decided to walk out, letting our waitress know to cancel our orders. She replied, saying she would let the cooks know. This is the first time I've ever walked out of a restaurant. It was a pity, as I was really craving that Pad Thai. I was baffled that the party next to us, as well as other parties were receiving their food before us, though I did notice most dishes that were coming out were soups. I'm not sure if the cooking staff had issues with other food. A point to note, most patrons who were getting their food before us were white, while my wife and I are Asian. I'm not accusing them of being prejudice or racist. This is simply an observation we made. Needless to say, I won't be coming back. The hunt goes on for a Thai restaurant in Tallahassee.

    We tried this place for the first time for dinner on a Friday evening. We were seated right away…read more No reservation needed. We started with their mixed platter as appetizer, which comes with chicken kebabs, chicken tikka and shrimps and lamb. We also tried their mysore dosa and Bombay chicken dosa. What I liked was that the service was fast. Our server Willborne was nice and quick. We appreciated his recommendations. The dosas tasted good and the mixed platter was also delicious. See photos below. I really liked their masala chai as well. Everything tasted great and we will return to try other things on the menu.

The service was very good, and the mango mojito was well crafted. This was all because the poor guy was host, bartender, server, and bus boy. The food, on the other hand, was a different story. We started by ordering Chicken 65 and Samosas for an appetizer. They took forever and came out barely warm. For dinner, my wife ordered the chicken korma and I the Chole (Chana) Masala. We also ordered the butter naan and the cheese and garlic naan. My wife's dish was okay. It's not as good as several other places in town. My dish was really weird. It's one of my favorites, usually, but this came out as a thin brown sauce with chickpeas that has just been taken out of the can...a bit al dente. This was not the usually thick masala that I've had many other places. This sank right through the rice. It was not good and I did not take it home as leftovers. The naan, for which you pay $3-4 was a single piece of naan cut into four pieces. The garlic cheese naan had garlic butter and a cheese powder of some sort sprinkled on top. Not a good value. There are other, more amazing Indian restaurants in town that we will continue to frequent. We've given this two tries and won't be back.

    This review is based on a recent visit and a couple of visits some time ago. In between those…read morevisits the vision for the conversion of Tallahassee Mall to The Center of Tallahassee has ended mid completion because the person with the vision passed away. The covered concert space across from this restaurant hasn't seen any performances in ages. Dreamland BBQ that abutted the venue has come and gone and Lemongrass has changed owners. What the original owners probably had hoped would be a destination dining spot has become a hidden restaurant down inside the old mall footprint. You have to know it's in there, that you can drive into that center of everything and that there are parking spaces down in there. I suppose they get some business from people going to the nail spa or the cut and shave shop nearby. I think I saw a fitness center there too. Oh yeah, with the demise of the original vision for The Center of Tallahassee, it now has a bunch of State of Florida employees as a captive audience for lunch. The original Lemongrass was Thai and Vietnamese food. With the new owners there is now a separate Indian food menu as well. I remember enjoying the Thai dishes in the past and the Indian dish I chose this time was tasty. I asked for medium spice level and I have to give them credit for actually spicing it. So many seem afraid to actually make a dish spicy. I ordered a Mango Lassi after the spice level started to build in my mouth and on my tongue so I could mitigate the burn a little bit. Milk products never fail me. The service was laconic. The one waiter seemed more interested in what was on his phone. He had trouble understanding my English and I had trouble understanding his English so I was pleased that I got what I ordered. The food came out in good time but I wouldn't count on much attention being paid after you get your food. The restaurant is showing wear and tear. Vinyl baseboards are missing or drooping. Booths are comfortable but worn. In summation, the food is fine but there's not much going on that would get me to come back. Kind of a shame. That whole area down in the center of The Center of Tallahassee had such promise.
