Limelight

Went here with friends who had been before and had great things to say about. They were right, this place is unique and fun. The cocktails were fun and tasty. The food was made to be shared and it was awesome, try the oysters!! Our waitress was very helpful and attentive! The food came out quickly and again was delicious. I highly recommend this spot especially with friends.

We dined at Limelight on Friday night. After spending $120 (including tip) we left hungry and actually considered stopping to pick up a pizza on the way home. I am not a big eater, though my husband is. The portions are TINY and expensive! We had a reservation for Friday night. After checking our car with the complimentary valet, we entered the restaurant thru a dark, little, unimpressive foyer, where we waited for the hostess. The dining room is attractive and dimly lit, but a reservation got us a little table in a corner. Our server was very slow to arrive. After she asked if she could tell us about the menu, she proceeded to describe every item on the menu. We ordered the crispy chick peas ( the best thing I ate), the minuscule $9 bread and butter tasting, onion dip and roasted octopus for starters. The octopus that our server had praised at length, still managed to be really chewy in parts and was literally nothing special. For the entrees, my husband ordered the Gnocchi with Duck Confit, while I opted for the Spinach Fettuccine. My husband's was a little bowl of shredded meat with the tiniest little gnocchi we had ever seen. He said it tasted ok. My fettuccine looked so appetizing, but it had virtually no taste, and I sent it back. The fettuccine itself was fresh and could have been the star of a delicious dish. This was a disappointing evening for us and we will not be returning.

Ok to start it's got valet parking only and has a very small lot. The attendants are very nice. Ambiance was awesome. Darker lighting. White tablecloth. Fun looking bar if you are a party of two. A communal table down the middle which would be fun with a group of friends. Service was amazing but we had Litzy. She was lovely and good at suggestions and bringing cocktails and food quickly. Food. We had the window the bread service with butter tasting. This is so so. Not amazing. The butter at oxford grillhouse is much better and it's free. The spinach pasta was very good. The Brussels were very good and the pork belly skewers were very good. All are small servings. Cocktails and wine. Wine menu is rather light and average. Nothing to brag about here. Cocktails we had the cosmo which was good and the chocolate bliss martini was was great. So service and ambiance great and food good. Again food is not amazing but not terrible either. Would go back for the ambiance alone. We are not from Memphis and do not find most Memphis restaurants anything to write about. So you have to take what you can get.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Limelight Restaurant, and it was an absolute delight. The restaurant has a nice and quaint atmosphere that creates a cozy and welcoming ambiance. What impressed me the most was their simple yet impactful menu. While I typically don't order chicken dishes when dining out, the roasted chicken at Limelight was an exception and truly a standout.The chicken dish was incredibly flavorful and served on a bed of mashed potatoes, accompanied by a selection of vegetables. The presentation was elegant, and the flavors were absolutely delicious. The attention to detail in the dish was apparent, and I must say that it was one of the best chicken dishes I have ever had. The chef at Limelight definitely knows how to create a memorable culinary experience.To complement the meal, I enjoyed two glasses of champagne. It was a pleasant surprise when the waitress overheard that I was celebrating winning an award recently. This thoughtful gesture added a special touch to the evening. Additionally, we also had a couple of glasses of white wine, which paired perfectly with our meal.The service at Limelight was exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and provided great recommendations. The combination of great service, delicious food, and a charming ambiance made for a truly memorable dining experience. I am already looking forward to my next visit to Limelight and highly recommend it to others.It's worth mentioning that as someone who frequently dines at restaurants across the country and around the world, I have had my fair share of culinary experiences. Limelight stands out as a restaurant that exceeded my expectations and left a lasting impression. Whether you are a local or a visitor, I highly recommend giving Limelight a try. You won't be disappointed.

Fabulous menu! I love the bowls. They even have diet Dr. Pepper! Service is hot or miss. My only complaint is it's so loud you can't have a conversation. It's shocking to me that a new restaurant wouldn't do more to muffle the noise.

Yes, yes, YES! My bestfriend and I went for her birthday recently on a Monday and again...YES. We were looking for a chill vibe in a beautiful atmosphere and Limelight was it. I consider customer service an important part to the dining experience and it has to touch as soon as you walk in, Limelight checked it off the list. We were greeted and seated promptly. We found out it was a special day for wine so we had some sparking rose and a cocktail from the menu. Paired with the cocktails, we tried someCaesar salads and oysters. The service was impeccable and I was super impressed with the note our "table friend" Victor left us at the completion of our dining. I can't wait to come back to enjoy the Spring 2024 menu!

Me and my husband dined here for date night . Pros -Boutique dining -Decor is beautiful -Food is delicious-the ribeye easily competes with any top tier steakhouse with a charred flavor . The scallops were large and flavorful. The gourmet cheeses on the charcuterie board were really good and the cocktails were refreshing with a good pour and mix of flavors and premium alcohol - Good location Cons-The space is very small and too tight in some areas . - The wait was very long -almost 45 minutes for food - Extremely limited menu - One of my scallops was not cooked all the way through..I didn't bring it up to my server because I didn't want to wait again .

Stellar food, service and ambiance. Quaint spot for an intimate dinner or date night.

The atmosphere was so lovely, our server was attentive and very nice. The food is just too expensive for what it is it doesn't even make sense and the portions are so small you will absolutely leave hungry. My husband got the scallops with crispy leeks which he was so excited about but it was $44 and he got 3 scallops and 3 small "crispy leeks" it's truly almost criminal like on what planet do 3 scallops cost $44. Unfortunately we will not be back and will not be recommending it's just too over the top for what is is. Out bill was $140Before tip and we stopped at five guys on the way home because we were hungry

Everything was amazing! Pork belly, artisanal cheeses, gnocchi, salad, and salmon. Everything we ordered was incredible and service was great.
