A lovely neighborhood eatery! And quite a bargain for such wonderful service and food. We had an early concert and had the happy hour special.. more food than I could eat! I’d go back in a heartbeat.

I am a member of the Laundy club and there is always a problem with them finding my account! Even with the card. The food is good, but smaller portions and we are not sure if the value is there anymore

Love this location of the Grand Lake Kitchen! So spacious, pretty, and the staff is so nice! Every dish was delicious. We particularly liked the chickpea stew, matzah ball soup, lox plate, and chicken breast dinner.

We had a birthday celebration at Limewood. Always enjoy having lunch on the deck on a beautiful day with views of the bay. Food, ambience and server were all terrific!

We were celebrating a birthday, and everything was amazing — the food was delicious, and the customer service was exceptional. They even sang "Happy Birthday" to the birthday girl! Although the restaurant closed at 8:00 PM, we stayed until 10:20, just talking and laughing. The staff never rushed us out; instead, they continued to check in to make sure we were comfortable and didn’t need anything. It was a wonderful experience!
