We were driving from Medford to Fresno. I looked for possible restaurants For our arrival. I really liked the The Lime Lite website. I also was having difficulty with connection. I called and left a voicemail and Clint called back. He was kind and helpful and found us a table. I think they were booked until 8:00 and we hadn't eaten since morning. Did he have to? No. But he was professional and friendly. (Compared to restaurant from Medford that made us wait outside in 90° temps until they opened. I mean, they could have offered us a seat cuz the guy who took reservation saw my cane!) But I digress. The food and service at The Lime Lite were delightful! 10 outta 10. read more

We went to the Lime Light for my 70th birthday dinner. It was wonderful. We were in a lovely, with extremely attentive staff, that stayed attentive as the room filled up around us. We started with the Grilled Peach Burrata, which was fabulous. My wife had the Wedge Salad, and the Classic Cheeseburger, and loved both of them. I had the marvelous Ora King Salmon. Probably the best salmon dish I've ever had. The restaurant surprised us with a delicious Crème Brûlée for dessert All in all, a spectacular 70th birthday celebration. read more

Not going to lie a little disappointed. Service was really bad. They took our initial prefer and then didn't see anyone. Our initial drinks were empty for about 30minutes before I went to the bar to order. Bartender forgot my drink. The manager brought us our food which the filet was overcooked which he agreed and offered to have remade which we didn't really care. He convinced us. When the bill came they comp'd the original order and turned around and charged us for remaking the filet! Kind of felt like they tried to question my intelligence. Felt a little disrespectful. Our server was sweet and acknowledged she didn't check on us very well. Can post the receipt if anyone's curious. Ambiance was a little odd. Had an odd group at the bar that was not the most respectful of the restaurant with obnoxious foul language. They seemed to know the bartender or were regulars. Hopefully it was an accident. read more

My wife and I have ate here twice now, and it's quickly becoming a favorite place for special occasions! The staff is very friendly and attentive! When making the reservation, i made a note that it was our anniversary! When we arrived and checked in, the hostess acknowledged our anniversary, as did our server! Very hospitable that they acknowledged it, as some other places don't. The food has been great both times and the portions are generous! Some high end places get a little skimpy, especially with the sides. Not here! This time around, I ordered the Prime Rib, got the whipped potatoes and substituted the Brussels sprouts. Both were generous portions. Also love the added touch that they'll give you fresh horseradish to go along with the horseradish cream for a little extra kick. My wife had the Ribeye, which we've both ordered before, and it's delicious. She ordered the cashew green beans, but they were very saucy and some were burnt. When brought up to the server, she said she would have the kitchen make her a fresh ordered without hesitation. Within a few minutes, a nice sized portion of fresh Cashew Green Beans arrived! The Wedge Salad is also delicious and generously portioned. It could actually be a meal for someone, if so inclined. The atmosphere is also very welcoming and private. We've sat inside and on the patio, and actually preferred the patio seating! I can't say enough about the hospitality of the staff though. There's a gentleman who is either the lead host or a manager, that's been there both times. He takes a personal interest in the customers and makes sure to visit each table, which you don't often see. As we were walking out, he was also walking out behind us. Even though we were a few steps ahead, he wished us (again) a happy anniversary and to have a great night! This is a special place in Fresno and a great choice for a special occasion. Note: Food was so good I forgot to take pictures read more

Pros: Very good service. Very clean and nice dining room. Food tasted good. Cons: A bit pricey. The dinning area was a bit dark. read more

This was our 3rd date night at The Lime Lite....We always have such great experiences at The Lime Lite, but this visit was extra special because we came to celebrate our recent engagement! They made us feel so welcomed, celebrated, and appreciated, which truly meant a lot to us. The food is always delicious, and the service is consistently warm and welcoming. Our waitress was incredibly sweet and attentive, and the hostess was just as kind. We always leave feeling appreciated, and that's something we really value. Thank you to the entire Lime Lite team for making our engagement celebration so special. We'll continue coming back and supporting this wonderful restaurant! read more

First time I had been here in years. This was a mix of ok and great food. The artichoke spinach dip and steak hamburger was ok. Could have had more flavor. Remembering the sand dabs I had last time, I went with the sole and it was out of this world. Our server was nice enough to tell us we could interchange sides so I got bacon fried rice, which was outstanding. The only blah part on the dish was the spinach as it had no flavor. The craft cocktails were excellent and the bread pudding that uses croissants was awesome. Definitely a top 10 fine dining in Fresno. read more

Our daughter introduced us to this restaurant two years ago when we visited. We loved the food and were quite impressed with their service. Anyhow, we just moved to Clovis in June, so of course we chose them to celebrate our 35th anniversary on Monday (9/17). We booked a 6:00 pm dinner. We were seated and tended to right away by the friendly & welcoming staff. We had requested inside seating. The restaurant was dimly lit with comfortable seating. My husband got the Wood Fired Ribeye w/roasted Brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. His steak was cooked perfectly at medium-rare. It was perfectly seasoned, too. I took a bite of his steak, mashed potatoes and a couple of Brussel sprouts (just to have a taste). The steak and Brussel Sprouts were excellent! I ordered the Surf & Turf appetizer as an entree. I also got the Crab Cocktail and Beet Salad to share. The salad was good, but that crab cocktail was scrumptious! It was heavy on the garlic, but that was what made it so delicious! The dish was bursting with rich flavors with the sweet crab meat. We dipped our bread in the sauce! My favorite dish is the Surf & Turf appetizer. The caramelized shrimp with the tender sliced steak were so delicious! I was sad I couldn't eat the whole thing because I had filled up on the crab appetizer and salad! It was ok though because I had yummy leftovers for the next day! The restaurant gave us a Crème Brûlée to celebrate our anniversary! It is our favorite dessert. It was loaded with berries on top with that caramelized sugar top. The custard was very light & creamy. It was just perfect after being stuffed. We'll definitely return for more delicious food! read more

My GF and I went to this place today 9/26/26 at 7pm for our 2 yr anniv! I pushed the door open and was greeted by Clint at the front podium. The place was busy with no space at the bar and all the tables were occupied. It had an old school mafioso type feel to it which I liked. I didn't go to the back patio until after dinner but found it reminded me of the patio at Campagnia. They accommodated me with a booth and I was able to transfer to the booth from my wheelchair. Elegant yet simple one page menu which I appreciated. I ordered the fried chicken with sautéed spinach and bacon fried rice. Personally, my fried chicken is better than this, but then again, I use ALOT of seasoning to my batter and chicken, AND I fry my chicken with a mix of canola oil and bacon fat in a cast iron skillet. I enjoyed the sautéed spinach because I NEVER make that at home so, it was a treat for me. Now the bacon fried rice tasted nothing like teppan yaki bacon fried rice I'm used, to but I was hoping that it would, but realizing it wouldn't. The chicken was piping hot with descent flavor to the meat and not just the skin and batter. The food was tasty but not extraordinary. What stood out to me was the service. Justin was very nice and explained the menu thoroughly. He gave sound advice which lead me to get the fried chicken. Clint came by on several occasions to ask me how the service was. Always service with a smile. I tend to make an effort to see if their smile continues after they turn away, and the smile continued. This is a great attribute that management instills in their staff. It give me a sense of genuineness that they really care. This is very important to me. Anyways, Im curious if they have a happy hr. I would be interested in that. None the less, I will be back. read more

We just had a 50th birthday party for my wife here , and I want to say " Thank you ' to the amazing staff at The Lime Lite. First, they allowed us to show up before they opened and set up the room that we had reserved for 12 people. The Fig room was beautiful with music playing , and a private entrance. This venue was perfect for what we were looking for. However, what I enjoyed most was that our server Esmeralda was attentive , but not intrusive. She made sure our drinks were topped off ,and that everyone had food at all times. My family never felt rushed to order ,or felt hurried to eat. We had a nice family style dinner, and enjoyed every minute of it. Now , let me tell you about the food! Wow! For appetizers, we chose the surf and turf , calamari, and butternut squash raviolis. In my opinion, the surf and turf is something that I would go back for every day of the week. The steak was so tender and the sweet and spicy sauce was heavenly. There were thin slices of Fresno chile peppers throughout that made this dish pop. I highly recommend this as a must try! For entrees, my wife ordered the filet mignon which came with mashed potatoes and broccolini. Perfectly cooked, this steak was melt in your mouth good ,and the broccolini was flavored with garlic and parmesan. I chose the halibut which came with a roasted potato and broccolini hash. While the flavor was good, it didn't look that appealing. All of our guests loved the food, and had a great time! This was truly a memorable experience for us. The reviews on this place are well deserved, and I can't wait to come back to what I would call one of the best restaurants that I have ever tried. I was pleasantly surprised because from the outside, you would never know how good this place is. There really is no curb appeal here. The building looks old ,and there is no proper signage anywhere. It's almost like if you know - you know! Thank you again - you made our day so special! read more

I popped in here after a work meeting just to have another work meeting at dinner, but I had great time. This place is a vibe. I love the bar area, the dimly lit lounge area, and their cozy outdoor patio. We sat on the patio and just ordered a bunch of apps and few glasses of wine. The service was a but shakey at the start, but got better as the meal went on. It wasn't very busy, but our server didn't come to our table for nearly 5-minutes, before finally stopping to take our drink orders. We all went with rosé, but Limelite has a full bar with a handful of craft cocktails, beers, and an extensive wine list. To eat we just ordered apps; cashew cauliflower, surf & turf, shrimp cocktail, and the burrata + prosciutto. Everything was delicious, except the cashew cauliflower. The server suggested it, but we all thought it fell a little flat compared to the other items we had. The surf + turf was my fave and I loved pickled chilis paired with the panzu steak, so good! I need another Limelite trip, but this time around I must indulge in a cocktail and that Wood Fired Ribeye! read more

dined here for a business dinner where I was able to choose a 3 course meal and was delighted. I got the wedge salad, which tasted fresh and hearty. I love blue cheese and blue cheese dressing so it was great, but I can see it being too much blue cheese gratings for the average person. I opted for the filet and was happy w the flavor and quality, my meat was cooked perfect medium rare, mashed potatoes were garlicky, flavorful, and smooth. Broccolini was cooked perfectly. For dessert, I got the Bread pudding which was decadent and just enough sweetness and it was wrapped in a croissant style bread which was a nice elevated touch Overall food taste and quality is exceptional. Pricing can be considered pretty high though so be sure to come ready to spend. This location Id say is good for a nice dinner/date/special occasion, but it would be pretty difficult to make this place a frequented restaurant. Service was quick and the staff were attentive and respectful. Food came out in a timely fashion and didn't have to wait long at all for water refills or table dish cleanup read more

Tried this place for the first time when I came for a presentation so my dinner was paid for it. The fillet was a small portion but filling. The crab pastry on top of it was good. The wedge salad had a sufficient amount of blue cheese dressing, which made a delicious along with all of the fixings. The honey breaded cauliflower was unexpectedly delicious. The steak bites were good as were the bread at pieces on top of it, which we think might have been calamari or some type of fish. Service was efficient for a large packed room. Nice calm ambience for a presentation. read more

First time visitor despite the great reviews. I guess I'm one of those that don't venture out to places if their quite a distance from home. Since it was my wife I wedding anniversary, we decided to go somewhere that we've never been before which is why we chose The Lime Lite. Service: Greeted upon entry. Advised the hostess of our 6pm reservation and was seated within 10 minutes. We were seated at a side booth which was perfect (I'm not usually a fan of being seated in the middle of any restaurant). Our server arrived around 5 minutes in which she promptly took our orders. Food arrived with 15 minutes. 5 of 5 stars. Food/Offering: For starters, we ordered the Calamari Strips. As far as main courses, the wife had Wood Grilled Salmon while I had the Wood Fired Ribeye. For dessert, we had the Bread Pudding (which by the way was comped for our Anniversary reservation). I can honestly say we thoroughly enjoyed everything - from the appetizer all the way to the dessert. Our server was terrific from beginning to end. I guessed we missed out all these years. 5 of 5 stars. Overall: I love this place! A little on the pricey side but I'm always willing to pay for a good meal and good service. Will definitely be back in the future! read more

Went to LimeLite for the first time to celebrate our son's birthday and it was amazing. very nice, comfortabl, quiet ambience. The service was great and the host was very welcoming. They didn't have reservations available but after about a 20 minute wait they were very accomodating and found us a table for four.

The Lime Lite is a Fresno classic. We love it but this night they were "off". Hit a couple pet peeves hard: made us wait 15 minutes for a 9pm reservation when the restaurant was nowhere near full; the hostess acted like it was our fault we weren't sitting with "well this is your table right here. It's ready."; we couldn't tell who our server was. The martinis were great! Bartender was helpful and made a nice drink. The food was really good. We got lots of apologies for the delay and mix up but no one checked on us and I had to flag down our server to take my card for payment. We'll return for sure for drinks and food. The Lime Light cannot be ignored. I'm sure it'll be better next time. read more

Review. The Limelight. The Limelight delivers what most restaurants promise and few execute. Established. Confident. Effortlessly dialed in. The room sets the tone immediately. Warm, intentional ambiance. A crowd that knows why it's there. Energy without noise. You feel welcomed, not rushed. Service is the standout. Clint with Brooklyn is clearly steering the floor with purpose. The team moves with the cadence of ballet. Controlled, precise, and in sync. No wasted motion. No missed beats. Orders flow. Tables turn smoothly. You never wonder where your server is. They are already there. Food lands fast. Piping hot. No lag. No excuses. Every plate tastes like it was finished seconds before it hit the table. Clean flavors. Well-executed dishes. Comforting without being lazy. This is what happens when leadership, training, and culture align. The Limelight is not trying to impress. It simply performs. And that confidence shows in every detail. Best overall dining experience I've had in Fresno to date. Consistent. Memorable. Worth returning to. read more

Amazing food and service. Love the moody ambiance. It's great for a night out with your boo or a girls night.

The bar area is underwhelming. Annoying design for eating. The Prime rib was ok but not worth the price. I have had the same type of prime rib at chain restaurants. Sides were ok. The service at the bar was strange to say the least. The guy was not welcoming and for spending almost 110$ I wish I would have gone somewhere else. Here on a business trip and really wouldn't recommend. A number of standout places in Fresno and this is not one I will return to. Great bread pudding but that was the best part of the meal. read more

Having spent some time in Palo Alto, my way of eating out has definitely changed. Add to that the privilege and luxury of going to dinner with my mom, my wife, and my two sisters, all of whom I can always count on to not finish their meals, and let's just say... yes, I ended up eating all of this food, even if I didn't technically order it. LOL. We started with the SURF & TURF appetizer, and it was absolutely delicious. The moment I tasted the ponzu sauce, I already knew I had a plan because I had spotted Bacon Fried Rice on the menu. I immediately thought: "That ponzu sauce over bacon fried rice would be incredible." We also ordered the CALAMARI STRIPS with chipotle aioli, and they were amazing. Crispy, flavorful, and the aioli took them to another level. Next, I ordered the house salad with champagne vinaigrette, and let me tell you something right now: I plan to stop by once a week just to buy that vinaigrette. It is THAT good. Then everyone's meals arrived, and I noticed my master plan was working perfectly because there were two pieces of steak and shrimp ponzu left over. So naturally, I ordered the bacon fried rice. When it came out, everyone at the table started laughing because they knew EXACTLY what I was about to do. I combined the steak and shrimp with the bacon fried rice and poured every last drop of ponzu sauce over the top. DELICIOUS!!!! At this point, everyone started slowing down, which in my family means: "Send all leftovers to Sebastian." LOL. The Miso Glazed Black Cod was the best cod I have ever tasted. Then came the LL Prime Rib, it was so tender I could cut it with my fork. Bold, smoky flavor throughout. I'm sorry, but I have to say it... it was even better than the prime rib at Richard's in Fresno. And finally... the Bread Pudding. WHOEVER thought of using baklava to make bread pudding is a genius. I've had plenty of bread pudding, but NOTHING compares to this dessert. The flavor simply cannot be matched. Honestly, it's even better than Cracked Pepper's. Yes, I said it!!! Last but definitely not least, I have to give a shout out to the best server in town: Siena. Nothing elevates a dining experience more than exceptional service; Siena not only provided amazing service, but her warm smile and genuine concern for our dining experience made our Mother's Day dinner absolutely perfect. Thank you, Siena. You are the best!!!! read more

Easy 5 stars! My husband just got his PhD and we wanted to celebrate. We showed up without a reservation, because it was a last minute plan. Being new to the area we just found the restaurant via yelp and hoped for the best. We ended up being greeted by someone who seemed like the owner or manager, who got us a booth outside on the patio. The entire service team was incredibly nice and accommodating and welcoming. I have a dairy allergy and they didn't even blink an eye in helping me with how to order and making alterations so I could still eat the delicious food. The atmosphere was perfect for such a special occasion and the food was unreal. My husband loved the experience and it made him feel very celebrated. They even gave him a dessert on the house as a congratulations. We absolutely will be back and are glad to know about a Fresno treasure. read more

The service was exceptional. We are water drinkers, my husband drinks way more water than I do & so we typically ask for 2 cups for him to prevent him from not having enough water, lol. Our glasses were never empty the entire time we were in the restaurant and it was a full house & that is an example of how excellent the service was. Our server was amazing. I accidentally ate a pepper and my mouth was literally on fire and the manager brought me milk to stop the burn, lol. The staff were very accommodating and in tune with the clients.

It was my first time here. I came on a Monday night around 6PM and was seated at the bar right away. The bartender was really friendly, checked up on me regularly, and helped me order. I ordered the Surf N Turf appetizer, Wagyu steak, and the bread pudding. Both of the tempura shrimp and steak were delicious with the sauce (I think it was ponzu sauce). The steak was cooked medium rare with a side of mashed potatoes. That was one of the best steaks I've had in Fresno. The bread pudding with ice cream on top was sweet and had me wanting more. Everything came out to around $115 without tip. The bartender recommended that I go back on a Thursday when they have specials. I'll be back for sure. read more

Went here for a special occasion, even without a reservation we were lucky enough to snag a cozy booth. To my surprise, the interior felt unexpectedly upscale for Fresno. Warm, elegant, and inviting. On our waitress's recommendation, we started with the Surf 'N Turf, and it did not disappoint. An entrée-sized appetizer with incredible depth of flavor balanced between sweet and savory. The prime rib, their signature dish, absolutely lived up to the hype. Juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. My only regret was ordering three "meat-forward" dishes, leaving no room for dessert. I hobbled back to my car in defeat, overtaken by the inevitable onset of the meat sweats. read more

What a classic, swanky joint! So glad my sister and I decided to pay this place a visit for a recent celebratory dinner. Treated like royalty from start to finish. Friendly service that didn't make us feel rushed and welcomed our many questions as first time guests. Happy to provide tastes of various wines to ensure we loved our choice. Opted to share their shrimp cocktail and wedge salad. Cocktail was delicious and well presented, although we found the sauce to be on the sweet side. Wedge was an extremely generous portion and definitely one for blue cheese lovers! Mains were Filet with Dungeness Crab Wellington (incredible!) and the halibut (a bit under temp and oily, with overly al dente broccolini). When the server then manager learned of our concerns with one of our entrees, they worked quickly to try to make it right by offering an entirely different dish at no charge. Not necessary by any means but certainly appreciated all the same. Lastly had their take on bread pudding. Different and delicious. I wouldn't hesitate to return to this place when we have another special occasion to celebrate. read more
