| - "Meh. I've experienced better" certainly describes Lemon Grass. Was longing for Chinese food and ended up finding Lemon Grass. I know it's thai food, but I figured it would do the trick. Here's the thing... service is sloooooooow. Now if you think it will be fine when/if you go, you're probably wrong. To make the wait for the mediocre thai food even worse, the cd coming through the sound system in the dining area was skipping. It kept repeating the same 30 seconds of "Let's go round again" by Average White Band. If you haven't heard it, I'll be glad to sing it for you as I am now quite familiar with it. About 30 minutes after the song kept playing, the rest of the restaurant started to realize the song was repeating as well. It would've been easier to correct this issue, but the waitress was MIA. The one positive note from this experience is I now know what I will be choosing for my disco karaoke night.
Okay what about the food you ask? I started with the lemon grass appetizer sampler (I don't think that's what it was called, but who cares at this point). It had the spring rolls, shrimp in a blanket, chicken on a skewer and some other kind of fried thing. It came on a nice platter with 4 sauces. The waitress put it down and did not explain what the sauces were, as is standard appetizer sampler protocol.
Then came the main dish. I ordered the pad thai. Can't go wrong with the pad thai at a thai restaurant. Should be the staple right!? It wasn't bad, I was hungry and devoured it, but it was nothing special. Had a glazy-ness to it's taste.
Overall... service sucks, food is okay. Do not take the advice of the Average White Band... don't go round again!
