Lemon Leaf Cafe

First of all, This is a top notch restaurant.

So initially going into this restaurant i was nervous. I was nervous the food wouldn’t be good, they demolished my doubts.
I went for dinner and the following day i went for breakfast because it was just that damn good.

Dinner i had the thanksgiving dinner and breakfast i had an omelette with French toast and potatoes, the potatoes were perfect. The food was so delicious i needed to kiss the chef/s because they really showed out, but I’m married. LOL
This will definitely be my husband and I’s spot for food, another plus - the food actually fills you!

Win win win all around. 🙏🏾
Keep it up, you’ll see me more often!

I have been here three times now. By far the best food in Smyrna. Great service as well.

The brunch was delicious! I will be back again for the Eggs Benedict! The staff (Kristi) was very polite and professional!!!

My wife and I stopped in for lunch today even though we had been warned off by friends. Gotta say, our friends must have been there on an off day because our visit was great. Sure, they ran out of croissants so we had to wait a few extra minutes while they ran out to resupply but we still had a great lunch!
Decore isn't anything special except when you realize you're in Smyrna. So I guess it actually IS kind of a stand-out! The menu was quite large and offers something for everyone. The food was very good and portions are large enough that we both took food home with us. The service was great. Our waiter was so nice and the manager couldn't have been more personable or apologetic about running out of croissants. We will certainly be back and I will make I tell my friends!
The only suggestion I have is that the hostess while being nice was seriously under-dressed. This place is certainly looking to be an upscale restaurant in an admittedly blue-collar town but a novelty T-shirt, gym shorts and flip-flops are not appropriate .

This past Sunday, wife & I did brunch and it was our first time visiting. I ordered crab Benedict and she order bacon & eggs. Very nice presentment and outstanding quality. Ambiance is great and service friendly & timely. I highly recommend.

Really enjoyed our dinner and the atmosphere of the building. Prompt, friendly service. Food was delicious, fair priced, and hot when served (unusual nowadays). Really nice addition to Smyrna. We'll definitely go back to try more (will have to leave room for dessert next time).

Great little restaurant and bar in a cool historic building right in the center of downtown. They have a nice variety of dishes from sandwiches and salads, home style plates, and more upscale specials. A nice place any time you want a little more gourmet offerings or for a celebration dinner. You can sit in the dining rooms (there are a number on the first and second floor) or in the bar and get a full menu. Definitely a nice addition to downtown dinning.

Very nice atmosphere. Great old building, really unique. The inside will surprise you. Was there for a business meeting, wraps were delicious. Can't wait to go back for dinner with hubby.

Enjoyed a wonderful dinner Saturday night. Perfectly cooked Delmonico steak, good white sauce pasta dish. The ambiance upstairs is very nice for an intimate 1 on 1 dinner. Must try if you’re looking for a nice date night location or meeting up with a few other friends. (If you like steak, try their Delmonico!)

As usual, I enjoyed my meal at Lemon Leaf last night. We sat at the bar and Grant made our experience the best. He always greets me by name, knows what I like to eat and drink, and most importantly always looks out for me regarding my food allergies. Thanks for a nice night!

The food is delicious and the sweet potato fries are outstanding. The atmosphere is comfortable, quiet, and, they supply cloth napkins. The waitress single-handedly provided good service.

What a great place ! I can't believe I've lived in the area for so long and have never gone there before. Beautiful historic building in a great part of town. The food was great the atmosphere was laid-back and casual. And remember ....... Taco Tuesday!!! Go check it out I promise you won't be disappointed.

My hubby and I went there for the first time on a snowy day! We were welcomed with such warmth! The waitress there was fantastic! The food was excellent! The protions...huge. The ambience of Lemon Leaf is comforting, romantic, warm, just Beautiful! My experience waa a great one. We will totally make this restaurant on of our fav's! 😉😊

3 of us tried for 1st time. I had the 6oz filet and 1 of my guests had the delmonico. Both steaks were cooked as ordered and were delicious. 2nd guest had salmon with lemon and capers. Guest said it had no taste and asked for hot sauce to remedy. All 3 of us had the decadent brownie with vanilla ice cream and loved it. Atmosphere was upscale. Will definitely return.

What a nice quaint place in downtown Smyrna to enjoy Valentines dinner!

I rarely give a 5 star review, but this Smytna, Delaware, based on a soda and cup of soup swayed me from giving 4. Customer service is the key, but also very good cream of crab, atmosphere, clean bathrooms and mood make it a gem of a find for me. I don't know when I'll go back, but if I'm in the area, a quick detour off of Route 13 or even Delaware 1 and onto Main Street in downtown Smyrna is well worth the visit.

This is a must stop!! Great food!!! absolutely amazing, not over sized, and not undersized, a perfect portion, to where you may want desert in an hour or so. We had a really terrible waitress here... she forgot to introduce her self, then greeted us with "hey you guys want drinks?" Then she bypasses our table multiple times and leaves empty drinks. I still have yet to know her name. I have pictures i will include, The Gucci Sandwich is amazing, its on a fresh baked croissant, With a creamy home made avocado guac. The turkey is sliced chunk meat off of a roasted bird. And the Jersey Fries are on point. My partner went with the Delmonico steak, Great Flavor, Medium Rare, with a side of Brussel sprouts that were indeed on point. Mash potatoes are great to. For the restaurant, its set in the 4 corners of town, Next to the Underground railroad houses, Its got a classic look. with wooden floors and a very old rustic fireplace. There is also a tavern attached to the restaurant. Perfect setting for lunch, and or a nice little dinner with that special someone. There is a waiter here that makes the entire establishment, if you get a chance request him, and your night will be perfect. He goes by Charles in charge, and he is without a doubt the best asset to the floor this business has!!! I hope to come back very soon and film for a youtube review! This is a must stop!!! Kudos to the Lemon Leaf Cafe!!! Blue Collar Critic 10/10

Located in a lovely historic building in Smyrna. Fresh delicious food and attentive friendly service made for a quite enjoyable lunch experience. We will definitely return to try some of the other dishes.

We loved the rustic atmosphere of the whole place. The food was very good and plentiful. The service was excellent and didn't have a long wait for food. Will return soon.

What a beautiful date location this place made. Definitely going to be returning there. Intimate setting, great food, well priced. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised to find a place like this in our little town.
