The staff is incredible! So friendly and they are very attentive to their patrons. We were visiting Fresno and went to dinner and liked it so much, we went back the next night.

This was our first time visiting and we had an amazing experience. Everything from the customer to the food was excellent. I took my fiancee here for her birthday. We started off with the grab appetizer. I ordered the wood fire rib eye and she had the macadamia halibut. Then we shared the smores brownie for dessert, which was absolutely delicious. The two of us rated this experience four thumbs up.

Ive been wanting to check this place out for awhile, so tonight we decided to. The ambiance was perfect for date night with my wife :) We started out with the cashew coliflower appetizer and it was REALLY good. For dinner I kept it simple and I just had a cheese burger and my wife had a hamburger steak. My burger was just ok but the hamburger steak was amazing. I look forward to going back and trying something new next time. I totally recommend this place for date night or a nice up scale dinner

I love this place . I love the service I recieved the moment I walked in. It was my birthday and they greeted me as such!They had a great table set for us, the ambience was great. They had music at a perfect sound level. It was a nice mood. Lights not to dark yet not to bright. We were greeted by a very nice bubbly waiter he was one of my favorites ever!!! He was so nice.He keep us satisfied, filling our waters, checking on us.Our food was great very tasty. Cooked perfectly.Ohhhhhh but the smores brownie which was on the house for my birthday was DELICIOUS!!!!!! OMG!!!!!I will definitely be back to try other items .Thank you Lime Lite!!!!

This place can easily be put in my top 5 favorite restaurants. The appearance of the restaurant is great but whats best is obviously their food. I decided to try the Wagyu New York. It was up to par to my flavor palette. Cooked to order with a nice sear and great sides. The Waitress Cassandra was respectful, prompt, and helped out on figuring out what food to eat. Will be back thanks Lime Light for the great food.

Was visiting the fresno area to visit the zoo figured I would find a great place to eat. I succeeded in that. The lime lite made my night! The atmosphere was absolutely amazing! Very cozy and the music was great! The food was delicious and exactly how I like my food prepared. I even got dessert which I NEVER get anywhere to be honest. The best part of my whole experience was the impeccable hospitality. We were greeted upon entry, attended to through out the night and our server Zev was astonishing such a great young man that brought together the whole experience. I will definitely be making another trip here soon. If your looking for a great date night this is your spot. Even if you wanna just treat yourself! The parking is a bit tricky. The lime lite is slightly hidden behind the Walgreens so be sharp!

Lime lite was recommended by a friend, and we are so glad we tried it. The food was outstanding and so was the service. This has to be my new favorite restaurant in Fresno. I cant wait to go back. You need to try the Calamari strips! Everything we ordered was terrific and service was always there to take care of us.

Going to a nice steak house is a celebration for the end of COVID restrictions and my wife made an excellent choice. Front of house made room for us with good humor. The scorching hot day was livable on the porch with shade and fans and misters, and the recent remodel looks great and feels open and inviting. Our waiter provided excellent, friendly and non intrusive service the entire time, and other staff did a fine job of taking care of the whole room. The wine selection is well varied and we picked a fun red to go with our delicious meals. I found the occasional over seasoned bits but very much enjoyed the whole meal. The summer salad special is delicious, consider getting it while you can for the herb nose and ripe tomatoes. Our beef dishes were cooked to order and the texture and flavor of my prime rib were exactly to my taste. The bread pudding dessert was different to any other Ive tried and it is unusually delicious! The emphasis on local sourcing is fantastic, and the lemon ice cream from down the street was literally the icing on the cake! We both started talking about a dinner with my parents here as we walked to our truck (plenty of parking). So yes, well be back!

STAY with the appetizers!! You cant go wrong folks...I guarantee you will not be disappointed. BEST in town! #1) Surf N Turf (spicy shrimp on top of beef) #2) Calamari (strips) and #3) Sweet fried cauliflower.....When you are done? Order the Bread Pudding dessert! I will admit the bread pudding, as wonderful as it is, is 2nd best in town (Famous Daves has them beat). Service at Lime Lite is always superb....Call in advance, reserve a spot on the patio....Fantastic!

I really wanted to love this restaurant. I went for the first time. Im on a salt restricted diet. I was told that the only entree on the menu I could get with minimal salt was the macadamia halibut. I go with that one. To my disappointment, I received a dish with a small piece of fish with some veggies. They told me they omitted half that dish (including salsa and sushi rice) in order to ensure I was not receiving salt. I like the sentiment, but they did not do anything to add to the meal they took away from. They could have at least given me a ton more veggies to make up for the rice, salsa, and other ingredients they omitted. I was not pleased with my meal and had it sent back to be remade normally. My wife waited for me to get my food again while her meal got cold. On top of that, her ribeye was extremely salty. I liked my meal, but it was nothing to write home about. My wifes lobster Mac was good, but there was hardly any lobster on it so we didnt feel it was worth getting. No complaints on the beet salad. That was good. My review for this place is 3 stars. Not great, but not terrible. For the price I paid and food I got, I wont be coming back. Service was excellent, though.

We ordered takeout from the regular menu and it was perfect. The amount of care they took for our food was just as impeccable as if they were serving us in the restaurant. We love this place and have never been disappointed. Their service goes above and beyond, you get more than what you pay for. Cant wait to go back!

Considering its valentine weekend. Have to make reservations. Quick service. Very quite, the music selection was everything tonight. I think salmon was a bit under cooked but it was sered on top which gave it that crisp crunchyness. Bar tender is ALWAYS amazing.

Review №27

I went to limelite because I was told it was a high end restaurant that had amazing food. Having been to all of the high end restaurants in Fresno/Clovis limelite is at the bottom of the list. The lobster macaroni and cheese was not good. It was watery, the lobster was rubbery, they added the water from boiling the lobster so it tasted weird. It wasn’t cooked in uniform as some pieces of lobster were cold. I forgot which drink I ordered but it wasn’t smooth. It tasted like spicy club soda. I got the American wagyu and while it was cooked very well and was very tender the sauce they added on top ruined it because it was so salty. If you want great high quality food just go to Flemings or Ruth Chris.

Great little place, staff was super nice the food was good and the bread pudding was amazing. One thing I would suggest before going. Make a reservation when youre in a group bigger then 2. We got there at 630 on a Tues and waited for about a half hour. But the bartender poured a stiff drink so we were okay waiting.

I was in the fresno area visiting the zoo and wanted to end my night with some great food and I ended up finding so much more at the lime lite. Finding the location was a bit tricky but I figured it out so be sharp looking for it. Upon entry we were greeted and felt very welcomed. The atmosphere is really nice and cozy. The music was perfect for the atmosphere. All the food was absolutely delicious! I even got dessert which I never do. What really made the whole experience was the awesome hospitality. Our server was Zev and he was a great young man impeccable service. He was attentive and great at conversation. He met all of our needs in a timely manner. So thanks again Zev! This place is great for a date night or even if you wanna just spoil yourself this is the place!

It looked amazing says the husband of a woman that doesnt believe in reservations. Get reservations. My only shot to eat here yet was blown away by a couple of birthday parties and a hopping Friday night. Too bad for me. I will be back for a proper rating, although the staff by the front door were terrific.

A little hard to find the parking lot and the sign was not lit making it hard to find, however, perseverance paid off. Excellent prime rib and even got my request for rare. Whipped potatoes were good but I would prefer the vegetables be served separately, not on top of the potatoes. Nice wine list!

Just returned from a great meal at the Lime Lite. I ordered the N.Y. Steak, medium rare. The stake was cooked to perfection, cut easily and tasted wonderfully. The service was friendly . We enjoyed a wonderful Summer Salad of fresh valley vegetables, Armenian cucumbers, Italian grilled peppers, tasty vine rip tomatoes, sweet Red onions, Arugula with shaved blue cheese. A real winner!

These dishes were to die for. The Beef Wellington was cooked rare to perfection. It was fork tender and the puff pastry was light and buttery. The fish was great too. The atmosphere is comfortable. Definitely a long standing institution of a family owned restaurant in the Old Fig Area. The roots run deep ao dont be surprised if you run into someone you know. Dark and sexy lighting with throw back masculine decor however still attractive to my feminine side. Great place for happy hour to unwind. Date night. Work parties. A solo drink to relax. You name it, they can make it happen. Lastly, what I really like is the staff great you, treat you like a guest and can read into if you want to be catered to or just left to your own thoughts.

This place is one of my favorites in Fresno. If you are looking for more of an interactive environment I would would recommend to dine out in the patio. They have live bands playing from time to time, and sometime they have a bartender out there who makes drinks out of fruits/veggies of your choosing. For more of an intimate dinner stay inside.

Review №88

The food was good, but the service was just average. I wasn’t offered dessert. They added an appetizer on my bill that I never ordered or received. They also added a 20% tip on a party of 2. That’s not really a big deal, but I paid with a card. The receipt that you’re supposed to sign is deceitful. They try and get you to leave an extra tip on top of what they already took out. I also had to ask for a refill, twice. The quality of service didn’t add up to price that was paid.

Review №89

Everything is generally exceptional. Food is great and can be custom prepared if you wish. Service is always top of the mark and the ambience is very warm and inviting. The cost is only slightly higher than other family type restaurants but, as it is often put, you get what you pay for. And, at the Lime Lite, you get exceptional menu and daily special dishes with a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. It has become one of our very favorite restaurants in the Fresno area.

The owner definitely understands customer service: I had a very special delivery request (to assist a friend who had just undergone surgery) which Brandon accommodated, which was WAY above and beyond, especially since it was during a very busy time at the restaurant. He accomplished it with great competence, speed, and cheerful willingness. Could not have been more gracious, helpful, and expert. I am so impressed.... He was just wonderful. Cant wait to dine there personally.....

Nice place for a quiet dinner with a date. None of the loud noise at some of the chain restaurants. Service was good except our waitress only told us about one appetizer special and one entree special but I heard another waitress list off at least 3 specials, one of which interested me so I was a little bummed I didnt know about it; however the fried Chicken I ordered was pretty tasty and it was my first time here so glad I tried it. My husbands burger looked great and he said it was delicious. I was too full for dessert so I got a mixed bread pudding to go which was actually kind of dry but I had them leave off the ice cream since I was getting it to go. All in all was a good experience and I will probably go again sometime to try something new.
