Brought my parents here for their anniversary and it did not disappoint! The Surf & Turf appetizer, butternut ravioli, & seared scallops were all incredible. They gave my parents a complimentary dessert for their anniversary that was delicious and we also shared a key lime cheesecake that was perfect. Our waitress Esmeralda was so great & gave us excellent service as well - thank you! Can’t wait to come back!

We Came here for our anniversary dinner. The atmosphere is very nice and fancy with lots of seating, the table are a bit small for a part of two. The service was great waiter was very friendly and attentive. The food, you get bread with herb butter shortly after you sit down absolutely delicious, as an appetizer we ordered the lobster mac which was again delicious. My boyfriend ordered a salad with blue cheese, I'm not a blue cheese fan and I liked the salad. Our entrees were delicious the picture is my entree. I ordered the pork chop, I choose that because it comes with a baccon jam, and at first they forgot the jam and after it was brought out it made my meal 10/10. Don't let them forget that jam with the pork chop it was amazing. Dinner and a show for us as the people next to us were a bit loud with very explicit conversation but it was entertaining for us and I would defenitly come here again.

The food here is amazing. My steak was tender and juicy and the Brussel sprouts were very good. The atmosphere was not as great. The place is nicely decorated but it's quite a small location with many tables close together so there is not much privacy and the service was average.

One of my favorite restaurants. The service is amazing, and the food is top-notch. I had the Wagyu steak, and my friend had the prime rib steak—both were cooked to perfection and tasted incredible. Easily one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!”

Service was excellent, the atmosphere was alright. Food was ok .. lobster Mac was delicious. My ribeye (med rare) was decent, the greens were ok, and the mashed potatoes tasted like instant mashed potatoes. Cost vs food was more on the high end.
Aaron Marquez
Limelite is the caliber of restaurant you find in cities like NYC and San Diego. The food is always cooked to perfection, service is friendly and helpful, and you have a world class experience overall. The prime rib and ribeye are my go to here. The best in a 250 mile radius. The lobster Mac n cheese and desserts are also amazing! Great date night spot.
