We ate in the bar area, at a nice spot facing the window, as the dining room was booked. It was a VERY COLD night, and there was a draft from the door as people came in, and folks standing nearby waiting to be seated. Otherwise, our experience was excellent. Our waiter was knowledgeable, and attentive, and took great care of us. The scallops were amazing, as was the market fish special. We splurged on desert, the flowerless chocolate torte, and and spicy coffee with tequila. The combination of flavors was out of this world good! I highly recommend Limones and can’t wait to return. Will try to get a table in the main dining area the next time, but would gladly sit in the bar area if need be in order to enjoy the magnificent food and service if that was the only spot available.
What a wonderful experience. A Mexican restaurant that was a uniquely sophisticated luxurious meal. The margaritas were innovative with an extensive list of tequila and mezcal. The street corn was the best we ever had. Lobster nachos were elegant and very tasty. The rack of lamb with olive chimchurra was so unexpected in a Mexican restaurant and very special. A wonderful experience. A truly gourmet restaurant.
New favorite restaurant in Asheville! Everything we ordered was delicious. And the service was wonderful. Top notch experience all around!
This restaurant is consistently outstanding. The ceviche sampler is a must.
The appetizers were great. Highly recommend the ceviche sampler and chili relleno. Entrees were just OK ( our table got the lamb dish, pork dish, and beef tacos). Service was slow.
Thank you for letting us know about your experience with us. We are disappointed that you didn’t enjoy your entrees & felt the service was slow. We want to ensure that guests are happy with all aspects of their meal & are sorry we missed the mark. We try to balance between allowing our guests time to dine at a leisurely pace, while also being efficient & timely. However, we do occasionally fall short & strive to improve based on guest feedback. We hope you will join us again in the future.
Absolutely perfect! We loved the cocktails, ceviche sampler, entrees and the dessert. Churros and bread pudding were outstanding. :)
It was out of this world! The food was delicious and the wait staff was excellent. Absolutely great experience all around!
The ambiance was great the food was delicious! We had a great time, we weren’t rushed out despite being the last table sat. We had the lobster nachos and seafood Tom yum soup with scallops, shrimp, and lobster and then tres leches cake to finish. It was all so delicious! Definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time and putting on the list to visit!!!
The service here is amazing! They had great recommendations for food and beverage. Our drinks and food came out extremely quickly, it was amazing. The lobster nachos and the traditional marg were my fav.
Limones is my favorite restaurant in Asheville. The menu changes often, and you cannot go wrong with anything. Perfect atmosphere, great food, great drinks. Do yourself a favor and sit at the bar - Julian and Doug are the best!!
Excellent food and lovely environment
Always love it there! My margarita and the civeche were impeccable! Love supporting Hugo and Amy!
Always one of our must eat places in Asheville. Never disappoints.
Visiting Asheville to celebrate our friends birthday. Second time we’ve been to Limones and it didn’t disappoint! Everything was excellent.
The pandemic had kept us from dining at our favorite restaurants this past year and we have started to venture out. We are Asheville locals and Limone’s was, and still is, a favorite of ours. Everything about the evening was fantastic! If you plan on visiting Asheville, make a dinner reservation at Limone’s, you will not be disappointed. If you are locals, you already know how great it is!
We returned after a year of Covid to celebrate birthdays. Expanded space was nice. Food and service extraordinary, as always.
Probably the worst seat in the house right behind host/hostess stand. Food was incredibly bland, ceviche lacking acid, salt, flavor, etc. chips not salted or seasoned. Least flavorful Caesar salad ever, lobster nachos very underwhelming, they were out of the lengua which we were looking forward to. Had to order a side of hot sauce and use the lime on my water to try to make dishes taste good. Nothing special about this place except the tequila. Overpriced and under executed.
First class meal. Great service. Lovely setting. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Out with part of the family...post 2 week 2nd vaccine celebrations!!!!
So nice to be back & our dinner was as amazing as it always used to be! 🙌🏼
We sat at the bar & Julian took exceptional care of us - thank you Julian.
Amy & Hugo, so happy to be back in your space enjoying your fabulous menu! 🎉
Wonderful cocktail list and fabulous food! I could have eaten everything on the menu. Outstanding service and just an overall pleasant experience. Will continue to come back.
In town from Chattanooga with my husband; hostess was amazing and figured out our reservation glitch with open table.
Ceviche sampler was awesome; enjoyed the carne asada and seafood Tom Yum.
Washed it down with a berry habanero margarita and three desserts: churros, bread pudding, and tres leches. Not sure when we’re going to be able to eat again, but we will be back!
Seana was an incredible waitress! She did a wonderful job recommending various items on the menu and pacing the meal well. She also congratulated us on our upcoming marriage anniversary and even treated us to a free toast of bubbly!
Tasteful and unique food and drinks, will definitely be back!
Probably our favorite restaurant visit during our trip to Ashville. Food and service was outstanding!
Amazing service and food!!! The margaritas were just as good as the food!! This is going to top of our list of Asheville restaurants!
Everything was perfect! Service was impeccable (we had Shawna...her knowledge on the food & the drink menu was top notch! We just about ordered all her favorites!!), drinks were refreshing and the apps and main dishes were DELICIOUS!! THE best scallops I have ever had! We were a table of four and we couldn’t have been more satisfied with everything!
This was the best start to finish experience we had in a restaurant in Asheville. Keep in mind that it is the Covid era and it was hard to get in "good" restaurant's but it would be hard to beat Limones. From the hostess to the app's, meals and drinks. Great place. Highly recommend.
Food was extraordinary! Service was great. Great selection of tequila. Food is seriously some thing that you do not get at most restaurants. Super impressed.
This was our second time to go to Limones when we visit Asheville and it did not disappoint. Julien was our waiter and he did an excellent job of going over the menu with us. His recommendations were perfect. The ceviche sampler was outstanding. My husband had the scallops. He said they were cooked to perfection. I had the pork tenderloin with kale. It was wonderful. We enjoyed the chocolate flourless cake as part of my husband's birthday . Everything about the dinner was perfect! We are so glad we made the reservation before our trip so we could enjoy it all.
We have been Limones fans for years, but the food was just not up to their standards. Probably will not go back.
Hi Charles, We're so sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your dinner with us. I checked with your server & they were not aware that you were displeased with your selections. We would have absolutely replaced any dish you weren't enjoying. I have passed this along to the chef in order to make improvements where necessary. We hope that you will give us another chance in the future. Take care, Limones
Excellent service - from the hostess to the bartender.
Incredible menu and great service would easily go again and again
Always a great time and delicious food!
Everything was excellent. The lobster nachos and ceviche sampler were our favorites. Service was great too. So glad we tried this restaurant on our vacation!
Anniversary, but dine there for everyday as well.
Delicious ceviche and scallops and margaritas! This restaurant was recommended by a friend... and it did not disappoint.
The service was excellent. The food looked beautiful but was really lackluster. All 3 dishes were presented well but just flavor. It was really disappointing. Prices were on par for an Avl. restaurants.
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent dining experience. We're disappointed that the food wasn't to your liking, but we always welcome constructive criticism. I have passed along this information to our chef so that we may make improvements where necessary. Thank you again for dining with us & we hope to see again. Take care, Limones
From the moment we walked into the restaurant, we were made to feel welcomed & so special. We chose Limones to celebrate our anniversary and glad we did. The cuisine was outstanding and bursting with flavors!! Complimentary champagne was given for us to toast! Service was outstanding as well as the patrons. The ambiance of the restaurant was perfect for any occasion
Great food and service
Limones never disappoints! Everything was perfect: the food, the service, the ambiance, the beverages, our server. It’s our favorite restaurant in Asheville and we’re so glad it re-opened. The renovations are beautiful and all social distancing guidelines were being followed. We’ll be back again and again and again!
