Service was terrific. Most of food was very good. Steaks over priced and prime rib had gristle. Also one of raw oysters was off. Finally having spent quite a lot of money we had to pay $10 for parking because they only validate for two hours and we went 7 minutes over that time..

1:00 PM Sunday Brunch: Very nice seating on the deck off the bar area with the Bay in perfect view. Eggs were very good, but it took 10 more minutes after receiving them to get the requested salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce for the egg entrees. And, the two side entrees of bacon and avocado did not arrive until 15 minutes after the eggs were served. Maybe next time the waiter(s) will have better timing and more training. I can only hope.......

The Claremont Hotel is a beautiful resort hotel. The Limewood Restaurant struggles to live up to expectations built by the setting. The food is way overpriced and not much more than pub food. I ordered the Cobia fish and it arrived slightly seared but mostly raw. So raw that I couldn't cut it, it was like rubber. I sent it back and asked for it to be cooked and by the time my cooked fish returned the other dinners were finished their meals-I ate alone. The slow service was true throughout the meal. They have a lot of staff but for some reason the service is not good. We were hoping to have a great view of the city (like they boast on the website) but summer is notoriously foggy so you really don't have a view. So if you want to spend a lot of money for mediocre pub food with just OK service in a loud setting with no view, then this is your spot.

The service was outstanding! Ambiance was beautiful. The food was pretty good but not great. The chicken sandwich had way too much bread and very little chicken. The rockfish sandwich was really good though. The cheesecake dessert was the best out of everything. It was a little hard to hear but nothing crazy. I would definitely go back for the cheesecake alone!

Food preparation and service was excellent, as was the view (looking into San Francisco Bay).

Went in a Sunday for a birthday brunch, server was great, 3 out of our 5 dishes were excellent. Thought the Spanish omelet would be more flavorful. Overall nice visit. Sad that the view was foggy - would go in spring or fall when clear days more abundant

A stay at the Claremont and dinner at the Limewood Restaurant is a tradition for a our family. The food was excellent! We shared all dishes and ate family style. Favorites were the Nugs chicken and the smash burger, but all dishes were excellent! The cocktails were also tasty. Our server was efficient but not so engaging. Tried to ask about the ingredients of a dish and they rushed off before we could ask. We were there on a Friday night at 7:00, so it was busy, however there were several empty tables. We were given a free dessert for a birthday at the table, but did not give us the dessert menu until we were finished, and had to ask for it. Always look forward to another visit, but service could have been a bit better.
We sat outside. It was chilly in July and the tiny heaters were useless. We had drinks, salad and burger. Unfortunately, the salad and the burger came out at the same time, so had t either let the burger get cold or eat the salad later. The weekend brunch menu is very limited. Will have to try the weekday lunch another time. The servers were disengaged. The valet crew was pleasant and efficient.

My fiancee and I had our date night in Berkeley change of scenery and venue which was the Limewood Bar & Restaurant. We enjoyed the drive up the winding road to get to the restaurant where the Valet took care of us as soon as we stopped in front of the Claremont Hotel. Our host escorted us to our seats promptly allowing us to be seated to see the sunset 🌅 and the view of the city. The appetizers we began with was the truffle steak frites and Spring Salad with Salmon, this was delicious. The steak and lamb loin was well done, the way we like it, but very soft and succulent, so amazing! Along with our sides we had the honey roasted corn and potatoes they truly satisfied the appetite. The finale was our butter cake with ice cream which made my toes curl this dessert 🍮 touched our souls. We truly enjoyed dining at your fine establishment along with your amazing staff. Thank you!

Wonderful fried Potato Salad. This was a hidden gem and an excellent discovery from Cravia App. The discount offers on that App sweetened the experience further.

Food was excellent, but the service was unimaginably slow and unprofessional. At one point the bartender spilled a bottle of hot sauce on me. I would've been satisfied with a comp glass of wine, but nothing. I paid the bill and won't be back. Such a shame, as this place has real potential.

Dined here before for lunch but stopped in for desert and wine on memorial day evening. They happily sat us as it wasn't too busy. Food is very good from my previous experience. The fried chicken was really good and juicy from my memory. It's located inside the Claremont hotel. Parking was a little steep. 10$ an hour with no validation that I was aware of. Perhaps it's the holiday rates? Not sure.
