First time in this place, I happen to visit the Country Club as a guest. The bar is gorgeous, attentive bartenders and the pool is amazing....But the CafΓ¨ was close on Labor day!! Its a shame no food πŸ˜’Hopefully they get my point.

This food was PHENOMENAL. I usually eat before I go to events here but I was running on a tight schedule so it didnt happen. I was prepared for the bland, gross food they had under previous ownership but OH EM GEE. I was absolutely in love with the meal they prepared. Will never eat before I go again!

The Lemon Leaf cafe, in Lancaster, is nice. The menu is limited. Here you place your order at the counter and a server brings your food to the table. I like this type of set up when Im meeting someone and we are paying separately. It takes the awkwardness out of receiving the check. I ordered the soup of the day. It was some sort of bean soup. I cant remember the name or what my friend ordered. That is how unmemorable and unexciting the menu is at this cafe. The food was okay. Nothing special, at all. The decor was mediocre as well. The service was on the left side of okay, too. My companion ordered a cake to go and even though our plates were cleared and it was obvious we we had concluded our meal, the server never asked if she was ready for her to-go dessert. She had to go fetch it herself. Not a big deal but, it doesnt make for superior customer service. I didnt use the bathroom but, apparently a key is required. I will give them another try. It is in the only interesting area of Lancaster. It is on Lancaster Blvd. Lancaster Blvd is our Citys attempt at an attractive meeting area with quaint shops like antique stores, a candy store, a few restaurants, Theaters, museum, etc..... but, the energy does not compare to places like The Orange Circle or Downtown Long Beach. The stores are basic and not special. However, we have nowhere else around the Antelope Valley. So. I will go back, when meeting friends.

I came here for my birthday, and it was amazing. I had the caprese pasta, and it was so delicious. I also ordered Royal Earl Grey tea, because I love tea, and that was so charming because it came in a French press with a glass teacup. For dessert I had the Verhona Chocolate Cake and it was so decadently tasty - usually I don’t care for frosting but the chocolate buttercream on the cake was delicious. The wait for my food took about thirty-five to forty minutes, but it was Valentine’s Day so it was a tad busy. Five stars!

The service was great but to be honest the chicken in my salad tasted kind of funny and the salad was so small maybe im just used to something different. Id definitely try again to see if maybe it was just the salad.

I really liked lemon leaf cafe. Our waiter was kind and provided excellent customer service! He kept our drinks full and our food was to our table within 15 minutes. The appetizer I had was the hummus & cucumbers with pita bread, it was fresh and tasty. I really recommend this place for lunch or dinner. They have so many options for people that love Mediterranian food.

Review β„–32

It appeared it was a liked place by locals. During my visit the room filled up 3/4 with guests. I liked the atmosphere of the venue. Modern and it did not echo while the conversation was going on. The 3 stars are because the food was a bit high for what I had. The chicken was sliced in thin strips, the mushrooms the same and did not balanced to the pasta. I never was asked for a refill or top of on my drink and the company I had, they bad to request a refill. I gave a tip prior to service because you had to order at the counter and the menu was handed over the dessert counter to me. If I go there again, I will tip after I get the service. The possibility for a return visit is there. I like to give a venue a second chance.

Service is exceptional. Refills on drinks are quick. Very attentive, friendly service. After big events, sometimes there are beautiful flowers on the tables. A beautiful lemon grove mural covers one entire wall. Artistic painted clouds on other walls, exquisite decor. White tablecloths complete its elegance.

We had a really great late lunch here. My friend had a sandwich and I had a wrap. Both were delicious, freshly made with quality ingredients. Only negative is how small the portions of pasta salad on the side was. We shared a dessert, a coffee cake, it was so good we both loved it. Will definitely be back if we find ourselves in the area again.

Went during our lunch hour and found the Cafe to be delightful! Lots of food options to fit a crowd of diverse appetites! Much better option than a fast food joint. The service today was extremely fast and personable. We had a group of 10 and we had excellent service! We did not make a reservation ahead of time either. I highly recommend this upscale cafe!

I love the food, I personally love the Cranberry Turkey Cobb or the pasta with the pink sauce (it has a slightly spicy pink pasta sauce), just tell them its pasta with the pink sauce, dont worry, theyll know what you are talking about. Staff are amazing as well, they go out of their way to make you feel welcome and you leave with a smile.

Review β„–62

The food was 3.5 stars. The service was 2 stars. I expect table service at this price point (counter ordering was painfully slow) and I also expected an apology and not to be charged for a glass of wine when the server splashed my friends silk blouse while serving her wine. You cost a customer dry cleaning, you should comp the wine (or send a free dessert, or offer to pay for dry cleaning.) Young server barely offered apology and had to be asked a second time for a damp cloth to blot the stain. The water/bread guy was very sweet; otherwise service would be 1 star.

Review β„–67

I had mixed feelings on the food and the service. The steak was mediocre, and was half well done and half medium. The salmon on the other hand was excellent, and we highly recommend it.Most of the staff was very nice and pleasant. Daniel on the other hand was not. He was visibly annoyed at our existence and the fact that he had to take our order. I tried to write off his bad attitude to someone having a bad day. However his attitude did a 180 when he took the order of the person right behind me, who was obviously a regular. Daniel was happy, pleasant, and smiling for the regular, but rolling his eyes, huffing, and frowning with me.Without Daniel and without the steak I would have rated very good on all accounts.

My friend and I enjoyed a delicious lunch at the Lemon Leaf cafe in charming downtown Lancaster in California’s Antelope Valley. She loved her Wedge salad with chopped tomatoes, red onion, applewood smoked bacon, Gorgonzola cheese, and a tasty house made creamy vinaigrette dressing. I also loved my turkey cranberry Cobb with its tomatoes, hard boiled egg, Gorgonzola cheese, pecans, and those yummy applewood smoked bacon pieces. The light dressing was perfect. If this review makes you hungry, hurry over to the Lemon Leaf Cafe.

What a cute place. Had a great lunch with family. My bbq pizza was amazing. Staff was also really attentive and kept our drinks filled and table tidy.

The store is really well laid out and the tile tables were a nice touch. They have a wide range of options from small bites to nicer steak and fish plates. Just had a shark mix up with the plates weve ordered but that was all. The only reason I voted 4 stars was because of the service. It wasnt terrible but it wasnt great either. It was almost there but they were pretty inattentive. Other than that, it was pretty good

We started with a Mediterranean sampler of hummus, olives, cheese, stuffed grape leaves, olives, tzaziki and red peppers. Served with small wedges of pita, this was the perfect appetizer. The hummus was garlicky and splashed with olive oil. had the quattro formaggi (four cheese) pizza. The crust was just right - not too thick, not too thin, and the cheeses worked well together.
