Well, what to say?
After several attempts, finally last Friday we managed to get a table at Lime Tree Court. From the moment we stepped in it was very obvious this place was something different, greeted at the door by Maitre'd with Welcome to Lime tree court we were ushered to the bar area and offered aperitifs which were served to us swiftly with a beaming smile in already heaving bar. Mine was dry Prosecco Bellini beautifully presented and perfectly chilled, others in my party were equally pleased with their choices. Once seated at our table, with menus in our hands it became clear, this place was not your usual Italian affair of only pizza and pasta, but rather sophisticated offering of fresh fish, fillet of beef, calves liver and veal medallions cooked with Parma ham to name the few.
We decided on two starters to share which consisted of two different bruschetta's, one seafood and one topped with Parma ham, and we were not disappointed, they were huge, delicious, clearly fresh and topped generously.
My main was fillet of beef in French mustard sauce cooked exactly to my requirement, beautifully presented, it melted in my mouth, perfection.
My sister had Dover sole in her words was Second to none and her husband had Saffron risotto, which looked striking garnished with large fresh mussels and king prawn, which he polished of the plate in no time.
Our meals were perfectly rounded with portion of prosecco sorbet and most beautifully tasting semi fredo, perfect balance of lemon liqueur, vanilla ice cream and fabulous white chocolate, one of the better desserts I have ever had.
Throughout the evening we enjoyed prompt, pleasant service from upbeat members of staff with genuine interest in their costumers, buzz and atmosphere is electric in this place I only wished I came to experience it a bit more rested (arrived from work)
Lime tree court is big, beautiful, stylish, loud and it would not be out of place in any European metropole, fact that is situated in our sedated Walden is a bonus, definitely place to visit and enjoy.
