"I wanted to comment on my experiences at the Lemon Grass. I have been using The Lemon Grass as a venue for educational dinner programs for almost six years now, (and dining there since you were in Mattydale!). What separates The Lemon Grass from any other location is the attentive staff, the ambient atmosphere and the world class cuisine. The room is always ready to accommodate any size audience. On a number of occasions when more guests than expected showed up for a program, the staff has always been able to make it happen! Its also nice being able to take advantage of the built in AV equipment, which saves us the headache of dragging our own in. In addition, the wide variety of dishes served gives everyone a taste of Max's best no matter what there favorite is! Another thing The Lemon Grass offers is a quiet room with no distractions from the evenings lecture. This is important, as the primary reason people are out with me is to learn. It's a great draw all around, and my first choice when I want to make sure I draw a full room."

"I wanted to let you know how sincerely appreciative I am of the outstanding service I received during my last dinner program at your restaurant. Our speaker was unable to make it due to bad weather. Quickly you responded by providing the necessary equipment for a live teleconference and adjusted the room to accommodate the change. You did so with complete attention to detail, professionalism and efficiency. This attitude is what I have consistently experienced during my many contacts with you and your fine restaurant over several years. The exquisite food, professional service and delightful atmosphere are consistently of the very utmost quality, a rare find in the world of business today. Again, thank you so much."

"Over the last five years, I have used Lemon Grass on numerous occasions to host our business functions. The food and service has always been superb. The convenience of having the built in AV equipment and the parking garage next door is also a draw for our company. We always know we’re going to have a strong turn-out when we hold our business functions at the Lemon Grass."

"I have had the good fortune of enjoying cuisine from all over the world, and was first introduced to Lemon Grass in 1994. The experience then, as it is now, was truly exceptional. My company will almost exclusively use Lemon Grass for our discerning customers with an appreciation for great food complimented by a fine selection of excellent wines. I must say that there is no better personalized service in the whole city of Syracuse, which ultimately has me coming back for more."
Cliff Malzman, President

"Having been to Thailand many times, I really appreciate how authentic the cuisine is at Lemongrass. Its like being in Bangkok, but with superior ingredients and a white tablecloth."
