By then you're a little annoyed with the experience, if you're not an East Dallas/downtown area local, of course. Oh—a private note to my last server: I know you are supposed to keep the original receipt, but as you rushed off before I could ask for a copy (and I really didn't care to wait another 20 minutes), I held onto the thing.

Sorry.

Colors and flavors can jump. You’ll have plenty of time to contemplate both if you’re not one of the chosen.

More About

Lemongrass suffers for its lineage. Otherwise, it's a respite from the dreary environs of a faded part of town. Next door, the vacant halls of the Green Room stand as a reminder of Deep Ellum's once-bustling dining crowd. Within sight of Lemongrass' window seating, at least three empty buildings wait for the next recovery. The new restaurant itself, however, is clean and linear with an inviting back patio and air of sophistication.

It promises much, but delivers on only a part of this. And even then, it chooses just who will receive the better part of this promise.

Lemongrass 2711 Elm St., 214-745-0001. Open 11 a.m.-3 p.m., 5-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-3 p.m., 5-11 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Saturday. $$$
