Relaxed restaurant with an upscale feel which is rare in this area. Lamb ragu gnocchi was very good with a rich flavor to the sauce while the lamb just fell apart. The stuffed Scottish salmon is great choice as well. Need to come back for the short rib since I hear that’s one of their more popular dishes.

This was our first time coming to this place. Right when you walk in you are greeted quickly and warmly by staff. Drinks and food came out very quickly. We had the oyster and clam dish for the appetizer, california burger and short rib dish for dinner, and the butter cake and chocolate molten cake for dessert which were all very good! I was very pleasantly surprised with the flavor and great quality of the food and service. This place is not so hidden – hidden gem! Definitely will be coming back with family!

Finally pleased with the quality and culinary execution of tasty dishes. I always feel disappointed, but Lemon Grove Bistro did not disappoint. I ordered the regular salmon, husband ordered the short ribs, rare beer on tap from Germany, the brown butter cake with an espresso and earl gray tea so happy for quality and excellence. Super happy. They even had fresh flowers on every table, cozy ambiance. Service was personal and relaxed. Thanks for caring Lemon Grove Bistro! I recommend highly!

We hosted our fundraiser in the Garden at Lemon Grove Bistro and were absolutely thrilled with the outcome! This was our first time hosting this event at a restaurant and Lemon Grove Bistro exceeded our expectations. Everyone was so kind, we were told by countless attendees that the food was extraordinary (and we only had hors d’oeuvres and dessert! And they’re right, it was SO good!) and that the atmosphere was so tranquil. We truly had such a great time and this was our best fundraiser yet. Thank you so much to Lemon Grove Bistro, we are sure this will not be our last time partnering with them! Wonderful photos of the event attached by Tim Stahl of Stahl Photographics.

WOW WOW WOW!
This is an absolute GEM with amazing service and the food is Incredibly delicious. I’ve been three times now and every time it’s absolutely perfect and worth every cent. Tonight we had the stuffed Scottish salmon and it was cooked to perfection. The plate was licked clean! They have so many delicious options to choose from and vegetarian friendly options. They have fresh beer and delightful cocktails to choose from with your dinner also. Richard was our server tonight and wow he is a Gem and has such a great personality and service is TOP notch! Fredrick is the owner and is such an amazing soul. If they are both working your in for a treat! Butter cake is an absolute must also no question the best I’ve ever had in my life!
Thanks so much and we WILL be back!
FIVE STARS!!!

Everything was good! I was impressed when I first entered. The decor, music, ambience. Good! I had the stuffed salmon. GREAT! Franciscan Cab. Good! Butter cake dessert. Good! Salmon was cooked to perfection and flavorful. The only thing I didn’t care for was the amount of sauce it had on the bottom, personal opinion. Some may love the fact that it had a lot of sauce. Not my thing. I’ll be back to visit a few more times so I can try some other dishes. This place has been here for two years and I can see this growing and becoming a bustling neighborhood restaurant. Great potential. Richard, my server, was nice and funny. Very welcoming. Music was low enough for me to enjoy the show I was watching while I ate. I give this experience, overall, an 8.5 out 10. Great date night spot.

Beautiful little bistro in the heart of Lemon Grove CA. Delicious food (the appetizers are generous in portion) select a few and plate share. Main dishes are fresh and seasonal ingredients. Thank you Frederick and Chef Rashi for the lovely evening. See you again.

They have classic American food and Italian options. Their salads are huge but very tasty. I got the lasagna which was delicious. We got the place to ourselves because of the rain so service was good we got plenty of attention. Clean place.

Amazing atmosphere and service. Wife is vegetarian and they had plenty to choose from. My lasagna was the best I’ve had in a very long time. 2 days in a row to experience the awesome happy hour.

I tried the short rib and it was absolutely outstanding, easily one of the top meals I have enjoyed in Lemon Grove. The crab cakes stole the show they were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. This spot truly brings an upscale dining experience to the area and exceeded all my expectations.
