Love, love, love this restaurant. They redid their patio a while ago and it is much more inviting. Their wedge salad is my favorite and I have also had their chicken. My friends got the s'mores dessert and it looked and smelled scrumptious. Great place to hang out with friends or take business clients. You can also reserve their back patio for events.Kristina G., A Yelp Review
I love the atmosphere that this little place has! Just the overall ambiance kept us wishing we had explored this place sooner. We started off with drinks (1054&St. Germain) both equally delicious and worth having again! Followed by oysters (which were the special for today), and the main entree was the scallop cioppino (AMAZING) so much flavor just within the sauce, and mixed with the seafood was the perfect blend.Sarah D., A Yelp Review
We have eaten at this place 3x already. Food is always consistently good and their servers are nice and friendly. The place is clean and the ambiance is very energetic. This is the kind of place I like to go on a Friday and Saturday night To unwind after a long weeks work. Their desserts never cease to amaze me. Everything is all good. I don't have nothing bad to say about this place. I highly recommend it. A friendly reminder, make a reservation ahead of time especially on Friday and Saturday night. It gets packed. To the staff, kudos to you!!!James B., A Yelp Review
The limelight is a top three restaurant in Fresno, it is definitely one of the go to's, the Lobster is always on the menu now and for $65 it is a nice sized Lobster Tail. the old school warm water rock lobster, fantastic! Best in town.Dino P., A Yelp Review
Definitely one of the prime places to dine in Fresno is The Lime Lite @ Shaw and Palm. The service was outstanding. The food drink and dessert was delicious. There is patio dining , indoor or at the bar. Make reservations because it gets busy. We can't wait to go back.Shellie E., A Yelp Review
Wow, how can I sum this up briefly? Clint, the manager, is amazing! Never seen such a hustling front of the house manager work the dinning room like a champ! The food, um, fantastic! We had the surf and turf, and never ever had I had a tri-tip cut so tender in my life, it was red meat butter, perfection. The hubs and I split the prime rib, had to make sure we saved room for dessert. Our waitress, Bailey, was so prompt, sweet, professional, and a delight. I'm so glad I choose The Lime Lite as our date night choice for the month. Make your reservations, you won't be disappointed.Stephanie R., A Yelp Review

Farm To Fork Freshness
To experience Lime Lite cuisine is to enjoy fresh fruits and vegetables carefully chosen from local farms and ranches. Starting with the Smittcamp family farming operations, Brandon selects from a variety of crops at their respective peaks of the season. For example, try cooling off some hot summer day with his refreshing home-made peach ice cream.
Brandon and his staff also hand-pick from Farmers Markets and local farms with whom they have cultivated relationships over the years. Likewise, meat, poultry and fish are of the highest quality and come from local sources whenever possible.
