    I’ve visited Lemon Grove multiple times, but I recently took my brothers here for their birthday. The staff was incredibly attentive and loving towards them. Travis, our waiter, was fantastic. He patiently explained the menu items to them since it was their first time dining at the restaurant. He also made sure to attend to our table throughout the meal. They were so grateful and expressed their excitement to return. Thank you, Lemon Grove, for helping me create a memorable night out for them! 🍋

    What an absolute delight to have this hidden secret rooftop restaurant so close to the Pantages!! The bougie chips lived up to their name and were the bomb! We shared the Lemon pasta which we didn’t understand. There was zero lemon taste and instead was all turmeric. It was definitely a shock to our mouth when we were expecting a sweet lemony pasta. It was good but not what we wanted when we ordered Lemon pasta . Every plate that passed looked more delicious than the next. Can’t wait for our next Pantages night to come back!! Love the vibe!!
    Lemon GroveResponded on March 28, 2025
    Dear Shannon, We're thrilled you enjoyed your time at Lemon Grove. We really do appreciate your kind words about the dishes that looked amazing and how much you particularly enjoyed Bougie Chips & Dip. We will be pleased to share your compliments with our chef. That said, we have taken additional note of your comments regarding The Lemon Pasta as we are always looking for ways to enhance our guest satisfaction. We can’t wait to welcome you back on your next visit to Los Angeles! See you soon! Mark Poffenbarger Director of Outlets

    Overall it’s a very nice place and the view is beautiful, however you don’t see it from the actual dining area. I liked the food but it definitely did not worth the price.
