Food was below par in terms of taste and quantity. Service very slow. Expected more out of this restaurant.

Ordered mussels, the quality was horrible for the price, salad was soggy, for a beautiful resort/hotel, The food should be better

Always a treat to go to Limewood. The sunset over the bay was breathtaking! magical experience. Football game was also on- could have made it a bit noisier than usual. The staff is always kind and receptive.

Great server. Fun food mix, making it a family style meal with the short ribs. Good cocktails. Reasonably priced bottle of wine. Fine, enjoyable evening.

Amazing service! Particularly loved the rolls with bone marrow butter, as well as the passion fruit guava sorbet :P

I had dinner on Wednesday night and the meal was decent. Unfortunately, I went back for breakfast the next morning since I was staying at the hotel and the breakfast was terrible. The scrambled eggs were runny and not warm, the bacon was way overcooked and the potatoes felt like that has been sitting for a day. The biscuit was as hard as a rock and not edible.

My friend & I went for Sunday brunch to celebrate a life event. Just us girls. Everyone was warm and friendly. From valet to waitress to bus boy, all seemed genuinely happy to be there, giving the place a nice vibe right off the bat. We ordered mimosas and the oysters, which were nice. We shared the bib salad. The salad had a bit of grit, but not enough to complain. I then had the mushroom omelet, and my friend had the Signature Breakfast, eggs over easy with sausage We were both very happy with our food. The omelet was delicious! We sat outside under the heaters and in the sun, and even though it was only 59 degrees, we were very comfortable. The view was so refreshing! I can honestly say we had a wonderful time! This is a beautiful place.

The lunch was great, and the view is spectacular. The service was outstanding. My only complaint is about the parking. I was forced to use valet parking, despite the 2-hour validation, because there were literally no available spots in the parking lot. That added an additional cost to the lunch which was an unpleasant surprise.

The kitchen was slow, but otherwise everything was lovely. Beautiful view, lovely atmosphere, and delicious food and cocktails

Limewood is a lovely room with a lovely view, and the menu for brunch was quite good. It would be nice to have some additional gluten-free and vegan options but in general, the food was excellent. It felt a little bit like there weren't enough hands on deck in terms of the service For such a high end restaurant. But those that were working, bent over backwards to make us feel special. It's an active and busy brunch location with many special events happening. Birthdays, bridal parties. This lent to the fairly noisy dining experience. But overall a wonderful place for a special occasion and a sumptuous brunch experience

Let me open this review with the statement: STOP SERVING OCTOPUS!!! These are highly intelligent creatures that belong in the ocean—not on our plates!!! This is barbaric, retrograde, offensive….
I HATE to see this happening at a Hotel I have been visiting since childhood!!!

Not withstanding the above, the Claremont Hotel is always a special treat. The classic hotel has stood the test time. Views from the Limewood Restaurant tucked into the front corner of the hotel are breathtaking and in good weather the deck is fabulous.
