“Loved LimaMar! The food was exquisite, the classic Peruvian drinks were delicious, and the service was really personal. We didn't have a reservation and had to sit at the bar, but the owners were so friendly and informative about the food and the drinks, it was a wonderful experience. PS The music is great too!“

“Not bad food and decent for the cost. Massive spot but well priced. Good looking menu and good service even on a slow day. Kitchen is well run and food looks good. Luckily, food is priced accordingly.I got the Beef wellington, i can never pass it up. For $39 it lives up to the price tag. However misses the mark… slightly cold and quite bland. It is unfortunately covered in a bland cream that over powers any redeeming quality. Good ingredients, but then a frozen/ premade sauce on top just ruins it. So much potential, but no creativity. Make your own sauce or give it some color and you can charge 10 bucks more.Cheap drinks and good wine list make it redeeming. So much potential being off the highway… disappointing but overall solid.A good sauce would make it a must stop off I-90 Nothing else good in 100 miles.“

“Excellent food, impeccable service, classy but not stuffy, they have a variety of different items on the menu and the cuisine doesn't lean to just one genre. I dined with a party of 10 and they had something for everyone and all food sensitivities. We ordered almost every app from the menu. Standouts were the milk bread, cauliflower, and walleye tartine. I had the quail for my entree which was a special for the month. It was delicious and although it looked small, the way it was paired, it was filling. Everyone licked their plates clean. Definitely recommend for a special night out.“

“Service by Tyler was top notch! Food was adequate. When I ordered risotto I expected risotto. It was more like rice a roni stuffed in a red pepper. The sauce under the pepper was very acidic and not very tasty. The crostini were amazing however. I did take the dessert sampler to go. It was absolutely delicious!“

“Awesome range and POWERFUL voice of the karaoke-master, Korwin, who runs this. Normally, it’s my singing I’m concerned with, of course. But her songs/ vocals were really remarkable. There was a fun/ supportive crowd with interesting/ varied song choices that I enjoyed listening to. The karaoke set-up is fine, with 2 monitors.“

“Yesss buttt we have been here numerous times but last night was a bad experience. Started with us needing seating for 7 people and dining room was half full and was told there is no room so we elected to sit 7 people at 6 top table in bar. Before the rest of party showed up (which was 4 people) the dining room cleared out yet we were told we couldn’t sit there because they were short servers. One entree had a long hair in it and we were offered either a remake or discount. Opted for discount because no guarantee on the entree, discount was 50% not sure if that’s the norm or not. My entree was the cheese and pesto ravioli which only had 5 ravioli for nearly $17. We were there to celebrate a good friends bday with her kids and spouses who have never been there, unfortunately I don’t think I sold them on your place. Waitress was nice and timely but other experiences last night have left a bitter taste.“

Our server Lana was there exactly when needed, despite the fact that she and the restaurant were very busy. Reasonable prices and a nice tap beer selection…overall an exceptional dining experience!“
