“ Ive been to limelight twice now, and tonight exceeded my expectations! Carlos was our server and he was fantastic. He had great recommendations, and the happiest, most fun attitude. He was so kind and treated us to champagne and chocolate cheesecakeboth were lovely. We got the butter and bread board, crab and artichoke dip, chicken entree with mashed potatoes and broccolini, and salad with shrimp. All was great! Our cocktails were yummy and unique too. The decor and colors are calming and nice, and I love the pretty tree in the middle of the dining area. Perfect for a date night or girls night out! Highly recommend. And ask for Carlos! ”

“ Where do I even start? The atmosphere, the service, the FOOD and the drinks... it was no less than stunning and pristine. Monika took care of us as we walked in the door and Carlos then set the scene by being kind, inclusive and knowledgeable. Betty behind the bar also made us feel so at home. We moved to a table with Jeanette and had the best experience between drinks, small plates, shareables, entrees and then dessert too. If you think youre getting too much food... youre not. Go for it. We also got to speak with the chef about how impeccable the experience was and talked through menu pairings with Sarah. So grateful to have spent a special occasion here. We cant wait to go back! ”
“ recently on a Monday and again...YES. We were looking for a chill vibe in a beautiful atmosphere and Limelight was it. I consider customer service an important part to the dining experience and it has to touch as soon as you walk in, Limelight checked it off the list. We were greeted and seated promptly. We found out it was a special day for wine so we had some sparking rose and a cocktail from the menu. Paired with the cocktails, we tried some Caesar salads and oysters. The service was impeccable and I was super impressed with the note our table friend Victor left us at the completion of our dining. I cant wait to come back to enjoy the Spring 2024 menu! ”

“ We had Justin as our server. He made the experience fun and absolutely wonderful with his expert knowledge of the menu. It allowed us to get all the items on the menu we hoped would exceed our expectations and they did. The cocktails are great and I got the Halibut which was phenomenal. We definitely will go back. Great atmosphere, lighting, music, food, bathrooms, service. Great for an anniversary dinner. ”
“ We started off with a French 75 and a Manhattan. Both were made very very well. Next, we had the market salad. The blue cheese was mild. The dressing was on point and it was just delicious. next my wife had the blackened salmon entree. The combination of the salmon and the lentils was delicious. I even had a bite and it was very good and I dont like salmon. I had the scallops with orzo. While the dish was expensive, it was phenomenal! The white wine, butter, reduction sauce made me want to lick the bowl, as a matter of fact when no one was looking, I drink it. Sometimes manners dont matter when the food is that good. With tip we spent 183. Our waiter had a very nice personality and took great care of us. Even though valet was good, we would recommend everything that we ordered and cannot wait to try more of their menu. They have an excellent chef. ”
