    What a great hidden gem. Quaint place with the cutest lemon wallpaper. White tablecloths finer dining style yet not pretentious, just right. Excellent fresh food with outstanding flavors. Got the harissa roasted cauliflower appetizer, beet salad and vegetable Ratatouille. All delicious and unique culinary creations. Love the Italian music in background as ambiance and attentive servers. Recommend for a nice meal.

    Ratatouille added chicken to it

    Our server Gabriel honestly made the whole experience. Food was great! Gabriel explained every detail of what the plate entailed and treated you like he's known you forever haha. The ambiance was calm and enjoyable. Great place for a family dinner. We went for Mother's Day and my mom was very happy with the experience.

    Charcuterie Board
    Nicole C.

    I've been to Lemon & Thyme several times since they've opened, and always thought the food quality was great at an affordable price point for the area. This place is a quaint hole in the wall location really close to the Triangle Square center. It's in a strip mall and is technically right behind Social with parking right in the front. The food menu is extensive and leans Italian, though there are elements of many cuisines sprinkled throughout all dishes. Appetizer wise, I always enjoyed the beef tartare and also the cheese / charcuterie board. I'm not normally a big fan of charcuterie boards but the cheese selection here is actually delicious and unique, so certainly worth a try. One dish that's not technically an appetizer but I always order for the table - the ratatouille. The ratatouille here is spectacular and, in my honest opinion, you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't try it. Entree wise everything I've had is solid, and I definitely enjoy the Octopus and various meat related dishes here. There are deserts as well and as someone who doesn't order deserts often, friends I've taken here that love deserts always rave about the baklava cheesecake and sorbet. The wine offerings are well curated and all generally tend to pair well with the food. It's pretty hard to go wrong with a shared bottle. The only real downside is service can be a little inconsistent. The husband is super sweet and always timely for water refills, and for the other servers I've had everything from spectacular service to a bit lackluster. There is one standout server who has an amazing sense of humor, I don't recall his name but his knowledge of wine is good and attention to detail is excellent. If he is your server, you are in for a good time. Overall, a great date night spot for locals. Wonderful food and at prices that won't break the bank.

    Once again, delicious and such a warming dining experience. Thankful to Chef who insisted hubby to try grilled Artichokes which now we get in regular basis.

    Bone Marrow, Ratatouille

    We walked in on a Sunday around 1:15pm. The restaurant was not too busy. The decor was clean with a modern rustic vibe. Parking is a bit tight for the plaza it is in. For drinks we ordered bottomless mimosas. The brunch menu had lots of options; however the staff kindly informed us that we could also order from the dinner menu, which we ended up ordering from as well as their brunch menu. We ordered the roasted bone marrow, market vegetable ratatouille, prime beef tartare, pork belly and black garlic bbq, and the ora king salmon. The food was delicious, although we wished the chips that came with the prime beef tartare were crunchier. Overall, all the food was very good, and we enjoyed eating it all. The service was good. Despite closing at 3:00, the servers did continue to top up our prosecco for the bottomless mimosas past the close time. The food was served quickly. I would definitely come back to try different items on the menu, and $19.99 bottomless mimosas are definitely a steal!

    This place is such a hidden gem The atmosphere is cozy and super elegant--perfect for a girls' dinner or a romantic date night. The food was amazing and you can definitely tell everything is made fresh to order. It did take a little bit of time to come out, but honestly, it was worth the wait because you can taste how fresh and high-quality everything is. The star of the show for me was the mushroom short rib ravioli--it was absolutely incredible. Rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I'm already thinking about going back just for that dish alone. Skip the Mac & cheese!

    I LOVED coming here! It's an intimate space and upscale - perfect for a date night and celebrations. The service was sooo good too! They constantly checked on us and refilled our waters. It's also very easy to make a reservation online. The food here is amazing! The complimentary bread we got was so yummy and had a unique lemon zest flavor to it. I highly recommend the ratatouille which was super flavorful and tomatoey. The salmon was delicious with crispy skin. And the rigatoni pasta was so creamy! We ordered the peach cobbler which was on the seasonal menus and it was to die for! Came out nice and hot with ice cream on top.

    Cute little restaurant that has good service (although sometimes almost too quick like rushing?). I sat down before my other guest arrived and they already brought out the waters and the bread. Also I just noticed they put an anniversary sign on the dessert LOL even though we were celebrating a birthday! I liked the food and how they had a lot of vegetables available on the menu, but for the price point I just wish there was a little bit more of the proteins on the plate. The espresso crème brûlée was yummy, and their shrimp was fresh and cooked perfectly. Wine selections also paired nicely with the dishes.

    Branzino
    Derek F.

    We were here to celebrate my wife's birthday and our experience was exceptional. The peach and burrata salad was amazing, it was fresh and peach was tangy with charred grill lines. Amazing. My enter was the standout branzino, it was cooked to perfection not to mention they de boned the fish! Lightly charred finished with salt and pepper, eating it was such a delight! The service was professional and very attentive! It was over and beyond, very classy atmosphere! Perfect for couples and group occasions. I'm coming back for that branzino for sure!

    Short rib ravioli
    Ann L.

    Last minute get together. Wasn't expecting much at all but the food was all excellent. I love burrata so had to choose the seasonal peaches and burrata which was mind blowing good. The peaches were perfectly sweet and gave a great balance to the burrata and balsamic. Are every morsel of food on that plate. Had to pair it with something more savory and the server recommended the short rib ravioli. So I'm not a fan of ravioli but I was looking for a small plate so decided to go along with it. Omg and boy it did not disappoint. The ravioli was absolutely delicious. Could have ordered a second plate of it and finish it. Overall excellent experience here. Good was fantastic and the staff were all amazing. Saw a few other dishes on the menu I would like to try...branzino (plenty for two) and the grilled octopus.

    My wife and I walked by this place on a Saturday evening, saw it, and went in. Great meal! All dishes had vivid flavor and presentation. We shared the Empanadas de Bacalao appetizer, the Pork Belly and Black Garlic BBQ entrée, and the Seared Duck Breast entrée with a spicy mole negro. Several dishes were topped with pea tendrils, which provided a great visual accent. The Baklava Cheesecake was big enough for three portions, had a few edible flowers, and was drizzled at the table with rose water!

    Baklava Cheesecake and Sorbet
    Avid Foodie 1.

    We had the pleasure of dining at Lemon and Thyme tonight. We truly enjoyed all of the dishes we ordered: Grilled Artichokes, Short Rib Ravioli, Mushroom Risotto, 24 oz Ribeye with Broccolini and Seasonal Mushrooms, and Baklava Cheesecake paired with a refreshing sorbet. Every dish was meticulously prepared and cooked to perfection! We really appreciate the warm hospitality from the attentive and friendly wait staff. We also love the beautiful and cozy atmosphere, which makes it perfect for our birthday celebrations today! Our 10 year old niece is a very picky eater, but she actually polished off her Mushroom Risotto and told us she loved it! All of us would like to thank everyone at Lemon and Thyme for such a memorable night filled with the most delicious food and impeccable service!

    Pork belly and black garlic bbq
    John O.

    Our large party of 10 friends were treated wonderfully here. Our table was ready for us even as we arrived early. Drink orders were taken right away. It's a cozy place that can probably have 30-40 guests at a time. Parking is the hardest part as there are just a couple of spaces out front. This was a solid fine dining experience. The menu is varied enough so that anyone can enjoy something. Every dish we tried was enjoyed and appreciated. Several of us enjoyed their perfectly cooked garlicky mushroom risotto. Others indulged in the pork belly with its crispy top crowning an unctuous and rich hunk of pork. The wine list was well curated and added to the meal. Dessert did not fail to impress. The coffee crème brûlée was delicious but the baklava cheesecake was astounding. No wonder they offer whole ones to go.

Instead, I called them and they were able to accommodate that change. Since, Bar Tinto is in WIP, we know that parking here sucks. So come early for parking, luckily they were able to hold our table. This review is for Jonathan Garcia's menu. Kushi oysters were served with a lime mignonette already in the oyster shell. Oysters tasted fresh and good quality. The ribeye vampiro was served on a corn tortilla, with a sheet of cheese, and balanced salsa. I was expecting nice thick chunks of ribeye, but it was a thin crispy slice. I enjoyed the dish, but I was hoping for more. I tried my friend's pork belly taco and it's delicious. The fattiness was decadent. I wish I ordered one for myself. In addition, as a wine bar I would expect a wider variety of wines. They are knowledgeable about the 5 wines on the menu. It's ironic facing a wall of wines, but only able to sip on 5 varietals and some spritz options. However, the desserts were delicious and I recommend saving room for both of them. Unfortunately, I would not return here. The customer service was attentive, but kitchen is slow. If you do decide to come here, then I suggest you practice patience or come here on a date with someone you really like. Also, check their IG for an updated menu, since it probably changes often.

The parking lot situation can be confusing but thankfully there is ample parking right across the street. Semi Tropic wines is located on an unassuming street but is very beautiful and cool inside. They also have a spacious patio for outdoor seating. I had a sparking wine that was juicy, slightly sweet, and refreshing. There were limited wines options this night but I think that's partly because the menu was "curated." Lots of non-alcoholic options which was a pleasant surprise. Menu is on the pricier side. This night we came because they were hosting the food pop up "Three Pigs" which offered a variety of yakitori skewers. We ordered one of everything and my favorites were the beef, chicken thigh, and cucumber salad. I'd love to come back and try Semi Tropic's house menu, but if they keep up a steady rotation of cool pop ups like this I think that would be an amazing idea too! I'm looking forward to their future events. We arrived early in the night (about 5:30pm) so there weren't many people. By the time we left closer to 7pm. the line to order at the bar was considerably longer and the place was packed. They host live jazz Thursdays and Fridays which I would definitely come back to enjoy for longer! Semi Tropic Wines is a neat place that would be fun for a first date, or a great place to begin your night out (if you're not worried about price). Cheers!

I was a bit surprised since this is a wine bar. There's also only five food options and nothing really sounded great to me. On their website, they listed charcuterie and a lot more wines, but that was not what was offered. The inside is really cute. But the outside is rundown. The patio looks pretty shabby and that's where the jazz musicians play. There's no heat lamps or really a vibe out there. But the music was fantastic!

Well, let's fix that right now because this place should be a must-see destination when you are in Orange county. I'm not kidding, this place is an adult Disneyland! The moment you walk in the door it is a visual sensory overload. To the left isn't a complete cigar shop with some of the most elusive and amazing brands. It is definitely a must-see when you go in. The humidor is stocked to the gills, and they have every accessory you could possibly want. As you keep walking, to your left, they have an amazing gourmet chocolate section that is second to none. One of my favorite places to go and just wander around like a kid in a candy store... Literally. You have to go downstairs where the wine selection is. I'm not kidding you, it is like a half a city block long broken down into country, region, varietal, and tight. There are so many bottles to choose from. You can get anything from a $10 bottle up to a $17,000 bottle of wine If you are a bourbon, Scotch, or whiskey fan, you have to check out the selection that they have. They have amazing deals, they work with the distillers to have a great selection of high-end alcohol. Speaking of high-end, behind the glass obviously is the really high-end stuff like pappy, Van Winkle, whistle, pig and many others to choose from. Are they pricey? Yes they are. Are they hard to find, yes they are. Can I afford them? Absolutely not. But they are fun to look at like paintings in a museum. Here's the secret ticket for those of you going in at the back of the bourbon section, right next to the walk-in beer cooler, they have a discount rack where you can pick up bottles for seriously 90% hot. Hot it is definitely worth a look because sometimes you will find amazing deals on stuff that you never thought you could afford. Speaking of beer, you can buy kegs six packs, individual cans of just about any beer you can think of... And even some you did not know existed. It is definitely worth your while to go there and hang out for an hour. I can't end this review before bragging on the staff. Super nice, super helpful, willing to make suggestions, and just making your visit. Fun is the cornerstone of the experience. Super great people kind of like cheers, where they remember your name. Bottom line? You would be doing a disservice if you did not go check this place out. Highly recommended and Dan Leadbetter approved!

    We have been coming here for several years as a fun hangout for a couple drinks. But they've…read moreintroduced us to the varieties of olive oil. Now using the different oils to flavor or accent the food is next level. They do popcorn with olive oil instead of butter and it's amazing. My favorite is jalapeño oil for popcorn with a little kick. We've also done some of their wine and cheese tastings. Discovered so many great new wines and that comes from a beer drinker. They are full of knowledge for the beer, wine and olive oils that you can't miss finding something that hits the spot. Highly recommended.

    So, first impression = bad. Asked about orange wine, my fave, but the fella working rudely said in…read morea terrible tone, yeah we have one but you can only be here if you show me your ID. First of all, people underage barely drink wine, let alone know what orange/skin contact wine is. Second of all, I'll show it obviously. Anyways, we came back 2 days later because we really wanted to try this place on our way back home. The owner's daughter was working, and SHE WAS SO SWEET. One of the best customer service experiences. We got some olive oil samples (lemon & basil) & it was so good w/our bread, we ended up buying the olive oil 5 piece sampler pack. Never been more into olive oil than now. That basil was extremely tasty. Also had my orange wine (amazing flavor + so crisp), plus a drink consisting of sparkling wine w/pear or peach balsamic vinegar???? Surprisingly SO GOOD. She told us there's a location in La Jolla and we live in San Diego, so we may become regulars there!! Thanks for the amazing Valentine's Day experience.

    If you are in Newport Beach area and you need a charging station, this is THE place to visit!…read more The cafe is soooo cute and cozy. The patio with a giant tree in the middle, it makes it so peaceful. We opted for latte, tea and couple of pastries. Everything was delicious. What was THE most memorable was the fact that a nice employee brought a warmer lamp for us w/o us even asking! It was raining very lightly so it was kind of chilly and he noticed that we kind of need the warmer, so he brought it to our table! That was so nice and kind! Thank you to whoever his name was! Be mindful that the parking is a zoo there and it is Valet only!!!! Bookmark it!

    We arrived around 9:30 AM, and by 10:00 AM our table was still empty--even though we only ordered…read moretwo simple breakfast dishes. The wait was extremely long, and we eventually had to ask for our food to be packed to-go and leave without being able to enjoy the meal at the restaurant. Unfortunately, the experience didn't improve. When I finally ate in my car, I found eggshells still in my food, which was very disappointing. The servers were kind and polite, but overall the experience was poor due to slow service and lack of attention to food quality. Management should really work on time management and quality control. If you're planning to dine here, be prepared to wait at least 20-30 minutes for your order.

    I've been coming here since before their move, and the food has always been excellent--but the new…read morelocation really takes things up a notch. The expanded space creates such a warm, inviting atmosphere that makes the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. This time around, I had the salmon and my partner ordered the cioppino--both were absolutely exquisite. You can really tell the care and quality that goes into every dish. Service was just as impressive. Mia, our server, was cordial, attentive, and made us feel well taken care of throughout the meal. The hostess was also welcoming and set the tone right from the start. It's great to see a place I've loved continue to grow and improve without losing what made it special in the first place. Highly recommend!

Also, he was extremely rude to my father when he was trying to pay via InKind. He claimed that they were not using InKind anymore and couldn't take our InKind payment, even though they were still on the app. The reason why we went here was to use our InKind benefits, which were available here according to InKind. He then claimed that it was my father's responsibility to contact InKind about this issue and that it was our problem??? No accountability at all from the manager. Grow up. The food is pretty good. Our waitress was also great. But there are major issues besides that.
