Description

While living in California, JR and his friends started a supper club. Every Thursday night they went to a different house where the hose was requires to prepare the meal from scratch. One night, it was JR's turn. Waylaid by a late day at work, he had no time to stop at the market for fresh ingredients or flowers for the table. His friends wouldn't let him off the hook.

Always clever and resourceful, and with ingredients he had on hand, JR made his grandmother's chicken and dumplings. A quick trip to the backyard produced fresh lemons and lemon leaves to decorate the table. From then on, JR's dining room became known as "The Lemon Leaf Cafe."

Returning home from California, JR brought with him the spirit of that evening: always creative, always freshly prepared.

High quality fare in historic Chestertown. My crab cakes were 10/10 delicious!

Very good food and desserts. I have been here twice. Cute small restaurant in the heart of Chestertown. Its hard to get in certain times though, Its best to make a reservation, the place is very small. They were turning people away after we were seated because they simply did not have any more tables. The waitress was a character. She was an older woman that called us "babies" but in a endearing way. such as sweetheart etc. She would ask "are you babies doing okay?"  It was rather funny. We got good service from here and the food was very very good. Hope they can expand their dining room in the future. And the cream of crab soup is fantastic!

Had breakfast with a group of 10 relatives this past weekend and had a great experience.  The waitress was wonderful, the food excellent, and the setting ideal with lots of light and cute decorating touches.  We had pancakes, french toast, and omelettes - all were very tasty, the portions very large, and the prices reasonable.  This was a busy weekend and yet food came out to the tables quickly and with a smile.  We would recommend the Lemon Leaf for breakfast anytime.

The Lemon Leaf was a great little stop on a getaway weekend.  I had read the reviews and heard the locals rave and they didn't disappoint.  Service was great, the food was delicious, and I would totally come back.  We tried the cream of crab soup, it was very rich.  I recommend if you are just wanting to try it get one to share.  The crab cake sandwich was almost all crab and hardly any binding and filler.  Overall a great stop and totally a place I frequent if I lived there.

I had lunch here a few weeks ago with a local friend and my boyfriend.   Loved my crab cake.   My boyfriend had the soup and something else.    The Cream of Crab Soup was quite simply one of the best he had ever had.   I cannot wait to return to Chestertown and have a few bowls myself.   Yummy!   Service was great and the staff was very friendly.

Such a cute place in this quaint town.  So pretty inside with wood floors, exposed brick wall, beams on ceiling.  Updated pretty decor.  Food is great!! Veggie Crab soup amazing.  Sweet potatoe fries fantastic. Awesome desserts.  Staff is friendly and accommodating.  Except the older woman who can be somewhat snotty if your not older.  All in all a great place for breakfast and lunch did not have dinner there.

Cute place for breakfast. My wife is absolutely obsessed with their crepe-like pancakes called flannel-cakes. They are delicious. This is a great place for breakfast on the weekend. Lunch & Dinner is fairly good as well, just not usually what we visit the Lemon Leaf for.

Quaint little restaurant. The service was outstanding and the food was delectable. I had the Maryland crab soup, it was nicely seasoned and had crab in every bite. Large portions. Everything we ordered was fabulous. Onion rings, pulled pork sandwich with sweet potato fries, grilled Romain salad with salmon. Just delicious.

THE BEST RESTAURANT IN CHESTERTOWN! The MD Cream of Crab is the best soup in town! Also, the Lemon Meringue Pie is to die for! A must have! The servers are always well-mannered and attentive. I always give great tips because they deserve it! This is a nice quiet place to eat on High Street. Perfect for couples or family and friends!

Based on Yelp!, Google Reviews and their dessert menu, we turned around and drove almost an hour out of our way to visit this restaurant. I was ready for dinner, my sweetie just wanted dessert and drinks. When he asked the hostess for a dessert menu before she sat us, she very quickly told us that if we wanted desserts to go two doors down for "fabulous" desserts at a place they also own. She proceeded to escort us outside. When we went two doors down, the place had a sadly depleted bakery case of muffins and an ice cream selection. Not what the man wanted, no after dinner drinks, ambience or outdoor seating. The man was seriously soured by being pushed away. After this experience, I know we will never be back.  Too bad because one of our Champion Realty offices is right around the corner.  Two stars for location and decor. Unfortunately, can't comment on food or service but the hostess didn't make us feel welcomed.
