Lemonade

Service was friendly and accommodating. We ordered chicken mango bowl and a comfort bowl. The comfort bowl was delicious and the mango bowl was a bit spicy though it’s not listed on their menu that it is spicy. The chicken was good , but I couldn’t finish the bowl because of the spicy kale or maybe the spicy sauce over it. Their cucumber mint lemonade is good and their lemon cake is good too. The women’s restroom is questionable. The toilet paper for the bigger stall was on the floor and the other stall did not have a toilet paper holder or toilet paper. When I exited the bigger stall I noticed toilet paper placed on top of the baby change station…. Parking is located in the street and they do not validate for parking across the street inside the garage.

Lemonade is the place to go if you are looking for a precisely portioned and seasoned entree that won't leave you feeling heavy. I 'm a fan of several entrees on the menu, my favorites being the Hatch Chile Bowl and the Chimichurri Steak Sandwich. Their poke bowls are also delicious although the portion sizes force me to pace my eating somewhat. They entrees used to be paired with a side but now you get chips which I find to be too salty. I have never tried their Lemonade's although it should be noted they offer several varieties as well as low calorie versions that the signage indicates is naturally sweetened. They do however have a really nice iced green tea that I enjoy. Although the food is almost always a win and the service is generally quite good I do find the dining area and the experience to be sometimes off-putting. It looks like it was intended to be an almost cafeteria style layout however often times there are boxes covering several tables that would otherwise be used as seating. The bright inviting colors and what would be a wide open space seem to be offset by stacked boxes, sometimes stowed seating and frigid air temperatures. The temperature inside can sometimes negatively affect the food temperature. It feels like the business isn't quite firing on all cylinders and I think the patrons sense it.

I was very skeptical at first, HOWEVER, I took the chance and I’m so happy I did! The flavor combinations were interesting to read, but really moving to taste! My tastebuds were dancing! The chicken they serve is soft and flavorful, and the salads were so refreshing. Plates are very colorful, even though I got it take out, it was still put together and packaged with care!
