These folks have really upped their game. Lemongrass Grill has ascended to being the best Thai place in the area.
My wife and I had the summer rolls, red curry chicken, and monsoon chicken.
Summer Rolls: Soft and fresh. Generous portions of shrimp and basil. The peanut - hoisin sauce was fantastic.
Red Curry Chicken: Evenly spiced, plenty of fresh green beans, red peppers, bamboo shoots, and zucchini - emphasis on the fresh. The chicken was good (If Lemongrass wants to be 6 stars, it could do something no other Thai place in the region does and grill it's meats before mixing them with the curries / sauces) and the thick curry sauce was the best I've had in ages. The chef used plenty of coconut milk and just the right amount of fish sauce and spices.
Monsoon Chicken: A Thai variant on sweet n sour, but sooo much better. Again, the vegetables were very fresh, the chicken good, and the sauce was light and tangy with just a touch of heat.
The service was excellent. Our server timed the arrival of apps and entrees perfectly.
Lemongrass Grill is emerging as a wonderful local story. When they first opened earlier in 2015, their service and food were somewhat uneven - sometimes great, sometimes meh. They have fixed their flaws and are now operating at a very high level. We'll be returning often!
