LIMEWOOD BAR & RESTAURANT

“kids menu actually has real quality options not just the usual chicken strips my daughter loved the wood fired pizza margherita and portions work for sharing between adults and kids would go back”

“staff got stretched thin during saturday dinner took like 15 minutes just to get water which sucks when youre eating wiht kids that are restless”

“bar seating gives you front row seats to watch teh wood fired grill which is cool, and the bartender actually knew his stuff about wine pairings. honestly dining solo here didnt feel weird at all meh”

“service got noticeably slow during dinner rush - my second cocktail took like 15 minutes to show up”

“the dining room feels sophisticated like a mountain lodge or something with exposed beams, warm lighting, nice plants everywhere. open kitchen adds energy without being annoying, and the views of the berkeley hills through those big windows are stunning at golden hour”

“so like conversation gets pretty hard when its packed - sound jsut bounces off all teh hard surfaces everywhere would go back”

“love that theyre open till 930 most nights so if you get dinner cravings after work youre covered. i mean bar area stays packed even later and the bartender makes a solid old fashioned that actually works surprisingly well wiht their wood fired stuff”

“honestly room gets super echo-y when its busy tho makes it hard to actually have a conversation when tehyre slammed”

“tbh spicy wood fired chicken actually has some real heat to it not quite nashville hot but solid fire with this smoky backbone from teh wood oven. the char gives it depth reminds me of good bbq back home would go back”

“bread service was pretty disappointing jsut regular dinner rolls when i was hoping for something with more character to match those bold flavors dead serious”

“their wood fired chicken thighs have this beautiful char and smoky flavor that actually rivals real barbecue joints back home!!! the seasoning reminded me of like a nicer version of nashville dry rub”

“so like the maac adn cheese side was honestly pretty bland - needed some kick or at least better cheese to be memorable”

“tehir wood fired ribeye was cooked exactly medium rare like i asked wiht this beatiful char from the flames!!! theyre not messing with it just letting the meat quality do its thing served with crispy roasted potatoes that had great contrast”

“teh seasonal vegetable side was literally just steamed broccoli felt like an afterthought compared to all the care they put into the meat nuff said”
