Making an appealing image of food - be it photo or rendered - is inherently hard.
In fact, I think you already have much of the technical 3d stuff down, the geometry and displacement look good, and I guess the shader isn't that far off actually. What you need to focus on is lighting, environment to be reflected, background, camera/composition - and postprocessing. Do not expect straight renders to look perfect.
I took the liberty of doing a little basic postprocessing on your image in photoshop, mainly just curves/colorcorrect.

I took a look at the file.. well I think for one your light is way too bright so thats part of the problem.. if you did this in real life it would look kinda weird too (shone a really bright light on a lemon up close).. also try increasing your shader quality, maybe ray trace quality too… in the main object SOP area click on lemon object < render < dicing then you can do this as I think thats part of the problem too.
For this kind of thing you usually want to use a room around the object since the way it is know its basically like you have a bright light in a vacumm (like outer space) whereas within a room you can dim the light and move it further away… if you want to get a shot of the lemon with no background just leave one end of the room open and shoot it there against the nothingness
edit: the lights not necessarily too bright.. just too close to the lemon
