I came here on a Thursday night around 7pm. Before coming here, I read the other reviews and I know that I might have some trouble dining here without a reservation. Luckily, a table left as we were entering. After the host checked if they were able to accommodate us, we were seated.

The first thing we got were the PEI mussels ($11) to share. I expected the dish to have more flavour to it. The main flavour I got was the cilantro (keep in mind that I'm not a fan of cilantro but that's not their fault). I tasted the broth and I thought it was quite bland as well. I've definitely had better mussels elsewhere.

Next, my parents and I shared three main dishes. The tagliatelle pasta with braised beef marina ($18) was a disappointment. The braised beef was tender but the pasta was very soft. This dish tasted very Asian inspired. The seared haddock with tomato chutney ($24) was okay. It wasn't as moist as it could be. I thought that the tomato chutney went very well with the fish but they didn't have enough of the chutney in the dish! The best dish was definitely the oven roasted chicken wrapped in prosciutto and mushroom ($23). The chicken was incredibly tender and I loved their pickled vegetables on the top.

Lastly, we shared two desserts. The creme caramel ($7) was standard and tasted good. However, the star of the meal in my opinion was the apple pecan crumble ($7). The top was crisp and the warm crumble was awesome with the cold vanilla ice cream.

Overall, I felt that they did a great job creating dishes that tasted homemade, healthy and not pretentious. I also thought that the price went well with the quality and quantity. However, the taste just wasn't there and I just didn't feel a welcomed atmosphere while dining at the restaurant. They were never rude to us but they weren't overly warm towards us either. I think that it's important to note that ambiance is an important part to an enjoyable meal.

Small, Cozy with Great Food. I live in Markham and I never tried any restaurants on both Main Streets, Markham and Unionville. I was thinking why not to try one rather than always going to franchise places? Therefore I picked Lemon Bistro based on many good reviews around the Internet.

So on my Anniversary I went there with my husband and I am glad I picked the right place, the place is small but the food, you can tell the Chef love to cook. Everything was well thought, from the time the dishes come out from the kitchen and into your mouth, it was perfect.

My husband had the Pork Chop and he said he never tasted a perfect Pork Chop in another restaurant, and I had the Cod Fillet which I think is kind of difficult to make it tasty but in this restaurant the Chef made it very well, I liked it a lot.

The portion might not be perfect for some people but for us they were perfect. We both had starters and desserts too. Reasonable price.

Their menu changes maybe everyday therefore we are planning to go back some day and try other dishes. You can check ahead on the day you are going.

We went on weekdays and there weren’t many people, which is good for us because we could enjoy our dinner. I don't know how's the place during weekend but I think it would be nice to make a reservation ahead. Too bad they are closed Sundays and Mondays.

I will definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone I know.
