Lemonade Restaurant in San Francisco

I stopped by last night in an effort to find some shelter from the rain. I was greeted by the duo working the front. They asked if I had any questions or would like to sample anything. I picked out my items and paid. Kudos to the young man who helped me out. I could tell he looked a bit tired but his smile never faded and he provided excellent service. Lovely place, amazing and genuine workers along with good food- what more could you ask for?

We were thirsty and came into lemonade. The nice staff allowed us to sample the drinks before we decided on lavender elderflower lemonade. It is really good and the elderflower notes are strong.

Dining at this restaurant was a highlight of my trip. The warm and sophisticated atmosphere, combined with the staffs genuine hospitality, created an unforgettable evening. The menu was a testament to the chefs expertise and creativity, offering a range of dishes that catered to diverse preferences. Each course was a masterpiece, with flavors that danced on my palate. The attention to detail in every aspect, from the service to the décor, was truly commendable. I left with a sense of culinary satisfaction and a strong desire to return.

We came around 7:30pm but everything inside already was already cleaned up, with chairs up and floors wet, and all food trays put away. The closing time is supposed to be 9pm. This looks unprofessional to the customers walking in.The photos and menu looks amazing but the reality is totally different. The guy who works here for sure he is not happy with his job/boss or he is having a bad day. No smile at all the whole time. He made me feel like me eating here is adding more work to his job, especially when he already cleaned up the whole restaurant 1.5 hour before closing time.Food is served as cold even for meat like salmon/chicken unless you ASK for warm and the way they put the food together on the plate just like throwing everything inside to fill up the plate. You will be surprised by the server handing you the plate by ONE hand like don’t really care how you feel about their service.I would give 0 star if I could for the quality of food and 00 for the service.After the dinner I had to go somewhere to eat again because the portion for the price is not even fair.No, thank you I’m not coming back and support this attitude of business.

Today I enjoyed a delicious noodle dish at Lemonade at West Portal. The noodles were called Buckwheat Soba noodles mixed with kimchi. A mixture of roasted broccoli, edamame, cilantro, and scallions complemented the noodles. The dressing mix tasted vinegary. The meal was absolutely delicious. I would order this meal again and try to prepare this dish at home for a side dish. Second visit, August 8, 2022, Great Chocolate Chip cookies.

I’ve been to this spot a few times and adore it. Colorful decor, lively (but not obnox) music and a splendid variety of food make this spot so good. Not pictured but consumed were a turkey sando and a butter pecan toffee cookie. Two thumbs way up.

December 2017 update:Had the turkey BLT sandwich, kale salad, and chips. Sandwich seemed bigger than last time. Kale salad was very tasty. Overall, excellent lunch. Took a slice of cake home too. Bumped up to 5 🌟.July 2017:Had a turkey club sandwich at about 230pm and it hit the spot. The sandwich was a bit small. But other than that, it was a nice lunch.

The Chicken Pesto sandwich was delicious and the Cucumber Mint lemonade was refreshing!

I used to go here all the time and was happy with quality and amount at the location. Just ordered my favorite Tuna Poke Bowl for delivery, even opted for the cauliflower rice, which costs extra, and very disappointed with this tiny portion size. This plus a lemonade came out to be almost $40, which seems 2x what it should be given the small amount. Will probably not order there again for take out given the poor value.

I ordered online to pick up. I got the hatch chili chicken dish and sub out with beef. The only thing they got right was the beef and rice. They put brussel sprouts and kale, there was no Mexican street corn or hatch chili sauce. I wrote in to complain because its too much work to go back to fix an order because parking is hard at dinner time. No response from the company. Check your food if youre picking up.
