   Limones is my favorite restaurant not only in NC, but basically anywhere and we travel often and eat out often. The chef is amazing! Quality of ingredients is apparent and preparation is simply outstanding. Love, love, love Limones.

   Went to celebrate our anniversary. Staff was attentive, we were seated in a corner, somewhat out of the way, which was perfect! Ceviche, elote appetizers were fabulous, entrees just as amazing. My wife says the tenderloin was the best steak she’s ever had. Pro tip: make a reservation ahead of your trip. This place fills up fast, so the reservation was necessary.

   This used to be a "must visit" spot whenever I am in Asheville. It's not the restaurant it used to be... Three years ago there were so many good things on the menu it was hard to decide what to order. Now it's hard to decide because there aren't very many interesting choices.

   We are in Asheville about twice a year and at times only knowing we'll be there a week or so in advance and then often are unable to get a table ! But when we can we always dine here and are foodies that love it.

    I was disappointed this time and I am a frequent customer. I indicated it was a gluten-free party on the reservation but this was not communicated to the server. The lamb enchiladas were very lackluster and unremarkable - cubes of reheated lamb in two wilted corn tortillas with what could only be considered sour cream, not creams, as there was no other flavor involved. 1/3 cup of plain white rice with a tiny sprinkle of some sort of spice and a wilted unremarkable oily slaw. Very surprised. Other guests fared better with a shrimp dish and the ever popular of lobster nachos, but the flounder was certainly not flounder; it was a thick cut of white fish that the birthday girl enjoyed but it was not the fish we were told it would be. I hoped we would've fared better for our special occasion….

    Enjoyed an early dinner at the bar. Excellent service and ambiance. Cocktails were perfect . “Open faced” mushroom ravioli was delicious, and I highly recommend the chocolate flourless torte! Great dining experience!

    Vegetarian nachos were a strong start but everything else was downhill from there. Chile rellenos had a dirty dishwasher flavor and ravioli was meh.

    Service was great! Appetizers and desserts were fantastic and drinks as well! Meals were also very good and very thoughtfully put together. Pork was slightly dry as well as Chicken. Overall, very pleasurable experience and would revisit.

    Our first time at Limones was memorable for all the right reasons; the staff was knowledgeable about the menu, super friendly, and the food was superb. The venue is super cute and quaint, and great for a date night. Great experience at Limones, and definitely would go again…

    I ate at Limones prior to the pandemic, and I could not stop raving about it. This experience was NOT the same. The menu seemed innovative, but everything was too saucy and heavy handed. We are at the bar, and our bartender could not have been more disinterested in us, in our experience, not in good service. He was not rude, but definitely not friendly. Everything seemed to rub him the wrong way. He avoided eye contact with us snd other patrons so you had to flag him down, even though he was literally right in front of us. We left after appetizers. It was our last meal in Asheville, and it was such a disappointment.

    Our table was ready by our reservation time and we got a great window seat. The hostess took notice to our reservation stating it was a birthday celebration and said, "Happy Birthday" which was a nice touch. The food was good as well as the ambience of the restaurant. We noticed a group of people next to us who was celebrating a birthday and our waiter brought that person a piece of cake. Is this typically what Limones does for guests as many restaurants do? I ask because we were also celebrating a birthday at our table and there was no cake brough to our table although the restaurant was notified via our reservation.

    I love Limones, first time back after renovations. The place has a great feel. Tables spaced apart and all staff wore masks. Many thanks for that. Service was great, our waiter was knowledgeable and provided on spot recommendations. Drinks, I had spicy marg, it was quite nice, my partner had the blood orange and sadly it was bland. Appetizer was tuna ceviche with avocado and papaya. It was really nice. Our entrees were quite excellent. I had the lamb enchiladas and my partner had the shrimp. Would get them again I gave only 4 stars for food. The slaw and rice that came with the dish was uninspired. Slaw needed a more exciting dressing, and the rice could have had some prominent spices Dessert was great. Hot chocolate and churros were excellent. Great place, great staff and great entrees. With a spiff up of the starch and veggies, this place could easily be recognized as a James Beard winner
