Drink, but don't eat here. Not a bad bar/club. Just don't come here for lunch or dinner. The food and service are below average.

The Lemon is far from being a lemon!. You should really visit this place. I visited this place for dinner and for dancing. The food is really good. The service is great. The nightlife here is really alive! You will find 20-somethings dancing the night away on Saturday nights to a really cool DJ. Plenty of seating yet plenty of dance space. Clean, the drinks won't burn a hole in your pocket and the neighborhood is top shelf. EXCELLENT for groups, celebrating birthdays and for a dinner date with your loved one.

Ehh.... I came here on a Thursday night with 20 people. The wait staff was friendly and seated us promptly, quickly directing the rest of the party when they arrived. Although the staff was all smiles, the food took half an hour to come out although I can't understand why since there weren't that many people there that night. When the food arrived, the portions were tiny and the quality was below average. The ambience of the place, however, was very trendy and hip and it was a nice atmosphere to celebrate my birthday at with my friends. But I won't be back here, unless I'm not hungry. It's better suited as a place to just have drinks and chat.

Couldn't pay me to go back.... This place needs to get off its high horse. The bartenders/waitresses are extremely unpleasant and management was awful! Totally disorganized. This is the worst place I've ever thrown a party and I'm embarrassed that I even subjected my friends to this place.

Wow!. All I can say is that this is by far, the best time I have had in NYC. The space is very cool and good for large groups even last minute (big dining room, lotsa balcony lounge cubbies, and a great front cafe). Me and my girlfriends had a blast, the music was really good, the food - AMAZING! and our waitress was this really sweet and accommodating asian girl. I had to come online and say something - I don't understand the bad experiences posted because the place was hopping and full of happy 20-somethings.

Run For Your Life!!. It is safe to say that my most unpleasant dining experience was at this restaurant. I was with a large party, trying to celebrate a birthday and we were yelled at by the waitress, the birthday cake was simply dumped on the table, even after we requested it as a surprise, and when we spoke to the hostess about the bad service, she simply ignored us. Pretentious place for nothing!
