This place has multiple personalities. Expect to have a good time and a good meal, but keep your expectations in check if you are looking for authentic Thai fare. It is tasty, yet a bit generic, but the portions are generous, the service is nice, on a given summer evening... the crowd is interesting and you will most likely have a pretty good time. I will no doubt return, and will certainly have a pretty good time... however, a Thai meal will probably not be ordered here.

Fish tacos

This was a disappointment on several levels. The bartender met us at the door, and asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside. We told him inside. He said we could choose any seat we wanted. Most were sitting outside. We sat down and waited.... At least 10 min. Finally, I went to the bar and asked for a server. The fish tacos were recommended. My wife ordered the money bags. The fish tacos were very good. The flavoring and the batter was light and crispy, very tasty. However they seemed slapped together and not much tartar sauce or at least it was all in one spot. The money bags were just "okay". Given the name description and price, I expected something made in house. I'd say these were just pulled from the freezer at Sysco. My wife wanted a different sauce than than what typically came with them so she asked for a little side of peanut sauce. Nothing was said about an up charge for the sauce. The server did not return to check on us. I needed a little more tartar sauce for the tacos, so I had to go yet again to the bar to ask. The guy put the order for tartar sauce in and again nothing was said about an up charger. . The tartar sauce is home made and was very good. Our original server brought the sauce and asked if everything was ok. When she brought the bill. There was a charge of $2.50 for tartar sauce. And $1.50 for peanut sauce. Really? charge for condiments? Will we go back? Who knows? We try to eat at local restaurants, and since there are several more to choose from... probably not.

I had supper this evening at Peppers Pub on Market Square. The pub is combined with Lemongrass, which serves Thai fare. I had a busy tiring day and felt like pub grub. I ordered wings with honey garlic sauce. They were okay ... I wouldn't call them "the best wings". I also ordered mozza sticks. They too were just okay. They came with ranch dressing for dipping, which I found odd ... usually there is a tomato-based dipping sauce which I think works better than the ranch dressing. Roy (short for "Rookie of the Year") took good care of me. She was friendly and efficient.

Great atmosphere , great layout , GREAT location! Love the curry nachos with chicken AND pork. Great for splitting. Love the flavour and colour! Great selection of beer , and a heated patio on the market slip is spectacular. Definitely a great 'uptown' feel . Check it out!

So in terms of authenticity, this place is not authentic. Instead it is almost kind of like a fusion cuisine and it also doubles as a pub which is a little bit confusing. At nights there is almost always live music and it is a very lively atmosphere. I have tried the lemongrass mussels and they could use more flavor but it was a pretty unique flavor that I haven't had before. The flavors here at this restaurant is too strong and way overpowering. For instants I had the Indian curry, VERY spicy (which is expected of Indian curries) but didn't really taste like Indian. The fried rice was too sweet but it is a HUGE portion (huge as in it could probably feed four people). The food here isn't the best but it's not bad either. The prices aren't horrible but overall I feel indifferent towards this restaurant.

Went and ordered the specials and they were okay. I found the fish and chips on the soggy side and the waiter never listed off the prices so we were shocked to see the meals were $24. Would recommend different pub in the city

I first tried lemongrass 3 years ago and have been dreaming about it ever since. I finally returned to Saint-John and I'm quite certain the meal was even better than last time. The veggie yellow curry (which is 100% vegan) is to DIE for. I have never had such amazing, rich, flavour packed curry anywhere else. It's heaping with tofu, sweet potatoes and a variety of local seasonal vegetables. I switched the jasmine rice for coconut rice and it was divine. The portion was large enough to take half of it home, meanwhile I was about to burst I was so full. My boyfriend took the shrimp curry and chicken satay and was deeply impressed as well! The waitresses are all attentive, the service was very fast and the restaurant is on the waterfront, so there's seating both indoors and out. A definite must!
