It was nice but next time I think I will save room for the king prawns instead. I was able to speak to the chef upon this visit and learned that he chooses the meat every morning carefully and spends hours preparing it himself. He then spends time getting the grill ready and that can take hours too. Sooo much passion and knowledge go into cooking a single steak. Def going to go back again soon. So happy I stumbled to this place and almost don't want to share it as it might get too busy and run out of tables when I go. My own selfish little slice of meaty heaven.

Located on the main road (Whitehorse road), there was plenty of parking when we arrived at 8pm. We were seated right away as there was only one other table taken and the restaurant was run by 2 people. The service was really friendly and easy going. Before we could look at the menu, bread and salad showed up as paired along with ice cold water. The menu was on the non-vegetarian friendly side as there were plenty of steak options which came with salad/bread/chips and then there were set menu options which included soup and skinless sausages. We decided to go for the al la carte menu and got a porterhouse and a scotch fillet. Droooool. Well seasoned and cooked to perfection, the scotch was sweeter than the porterhouse but we enjoyed both. If you are looking for a steak place in the suburbs, try out Stefan's as I would rather bay $35-40 for a good steak than go to a franchise or other more well known restaurants and be over charged and eat non-juicy steak.

Limor's has been sitting in my Bookmarked Businesses for a little while now, so when I was in the…read morearea looking for dinner, it was an easy choice. I was surprised walking into Limor's, it was larger on the inside than I had anticipated and had a mezzanine level which was for events- and happened to have an event in full swing that evening. Due to the size of the site, everything echoed, making it rather uncomfortable for the diners below, who were exposed to the sometimes inappropriate music and comments of the patrons above. The service at Limor's is standard. You'll be taken to your seat and given water. You'll be attended to the average amount of times and food will be cleared when you are done. They will also try up sell coffee and dry looking cake to you to invite you to leave. The service is absolutely nothing to write home about, neither is the decor. I don't even think I could describe it to you because it all fades in to the background. In general, the overall feel of Limor's is 'High School Cafeteria.' So we ordered, some sort of main that consisted of meat and chicken shish, two sides being chips, salad or vegetables. We opted for Vegetables and substituted chips for rice. This was lost when explaining to the waiter (third different for the evening) as he just took off the chips, and charged for additional rice. I was on a date, so there was no sense complaining at the counter. But honestly- standard stuff here. The meat and chicken shish were perfectly seasoned, excellently cooked and generously portioned. The skewered veggies were cooked well but under seasoned. The "salad" was not dressed. Oh and the side plate of rice was over cooked. Take from that what you will. We also ordered Cabbage Rolls which came with Israeli Salad. No. Just, no. The layers of cabbage were too thick and the bottoms were burnt, literally black. The filling was okay, too much rice not enough meat and vegetables. The salad was good. They dressed this one. Two mains cost us just under $50 and to be honest I was a little embarrassed I suggested the place. The atmosphere took away from our dining experience and the cuisine itself really did not have enough redeeming qualities to make me ever want to return unfortunately. All in all, I think you could do better and so could they.

Really have to appreciate places that know how to make the customer feel valued!!! I would go back for sure to get the burger and give the steak another shot.

The first time I ventured in was to indulge in what is likely the happiest of Happy Hours - $2 oysters and $12 glasses of Mumm champagne - that is ACTUAL champagne, people.

I was so excited to try their famous Steak Frites - Grilled Hopkins River Porterhouse, with salad and BOTTOMLESS FRIES. Can you feel my excitement as you read?!

Nope, it's delicious classic food that lets you get on with what's most important - enjoying the company of your friends.

The service needs a little improvement. I was barely acknowledged as I entered the restaurant before I was directed to go upstairs in an empty floor with about 10-15 tables. We were then assigned to the last table by the wall furthest away as if we were penalized. Remember those days where you had to stand on a corner facing the wall as a kid for timeout! That's what I felt like. The entire place was EMPTY！Service was slow and none of the servers looked like they enjoyed their work. In fact, the server took our order AFTER taking the orders from other customers who came in after us. The steak was tender and was nicely grilled but quality of the steaks was middle of the road. Just tasted like your average steak at an average restaurant at an average price -- nothing spectacular. And by the way, the salad tasted average too.
