TLDR: Yummy food. Friendly staff and owner. One of my Boise faves.
It's high time I reviewed Lemon Tree on Park Center! I rave about this restaurant whenever it comes up in conversation, and those who happen to have been there too have nothing but good things to say.
The food is super yummy and fresh. My friends who are vegetarian enjoy it too. My personal favorites include the enfrijoladas (I get them with chicken tinga, but it's not necessary), the taco bowl, and the sausage and pear sandwich. The chicken tinga option is yummy, but honestly I enjoy the cauliflower too! I believe I usually get the lemon tree salad as a side, and as a picky salad eater, I love this one
Highly recommend the lemonades and lemosas! If you're with some friends, try the flight to taste test the different flavors. I don't dislike any of them, but my favorite is definitely the strawberry basil.
The staff are always friendly, and the owner is really great. He has been there at least half the times I have gone to dine in, and he is often checking in with patrons and helping out the staff. He also offered my mom and I some menu items to try when I brought her for the first time, which was super nice. She, and my dad, also enjoy dining here when they're in town!
I really appreciate their now revitalized brunch menu. I used to be a little disappointed when I came in during a brunch hour, but they've added quite a few items (I will once again vouch for the enfrijoladas), and I might honestly start seeking out brunch hours.
I've since moved further out from this location, but I still find reasons to drive over and grab a meal, or order pickup. It's one of my favorites in Boise, for sure.
My only critiques may be that it can get a bit loud during peak hours, and the metal chairs are a bit loud when they scrape against the floor. So if you prefer quieter spaces this may be something to consider. Otherwise, highly highly recommend!
