Ajax at the Limelight Hotel took truly world-class care of us from start to finish. The service was dialed in, the vibe was perfect, and Justin absolutely crushed it with his recommendations. I went with the pork chop, my girlfriend had the duck—both were spot on and cooked to perfection. Not a single miss all night. You can tell when someone actually knows the menu and cares about your experience, and Justin didn’t miss a beat. We’ll 100% be back.

If you like duck or dry aged food, I highly recommend Ajax.
