Quality was on point and the prices were really reasonable. Staff was working hard, but still really friendly and efficient. Definitely a must try! Check out the cheese curds with honey, tarragon, and macadamia nuts for a crunchy and unique dish. They paired beautifully with the house made pickles.

    We sat outside in what they call the "garden room." The ambience and lighting were cozy and…read morepleasant, and it was comfortably warm despite the 30°F temperature. Unfortunately, there was a strong cold draft at floor level, leaving our feet uncomfortably cold throughout the meal. The hostess was sweet and greeted us with a smile. The food service was unremarkable. Our waiter was not particularly friendly nor personable. The drinks were a weak start. The red sangria was poor. The bourbon cocktail was an odd mix of bourbon, apple cider, and other elements--an awkward, Frankenstein-style whiskey sour that simply didn't work. Worst of all, both drinks were served in thin plastic cups, which immediately cheapened the entire experience. I ordered the falafel sandwich and specifically requested a toasted bun. It arrived not just room temperature, but cold. I sent it back, and it returned burning hot... the bottom soggy... literally too hot to pick up... with no browning or color change, clearly microwaved. Microwaving is not toasting. At that point, the sandwich was inedible. I removed the bun entirely and ate just the falafel, which was dry and largely tasteless. At this point I knew coming back to this restaurant was a mistake. Food timing was another issue. The dishes took roughly 45 minutes to arrive after the drinks, possibly longer. We were all getting annoyed and what started out well when we first walked in turned negative. I wasn't impressed on my first visit years ago... and this second visit confirmed it. Between the poor drinks, cheap plastic cups, ridiculously long wait (with no explanation nor apology), and careless food execution, there's no reason to return.

It's a Wednesday night and folks are nestled around the tightly knit bar like everyone is family. I'm the outsider from Allentown just passing through but the hostess and servers treat everyone all the same. This quaint restaurant has cloth table settings with ice water, awaiting your arrival. While the view is the main highway that runs through this sleepy town, it offers a bit of nostalgia from a day gone by. I've been here several times and I'm finally getting around to posting my review. I've always enjoyed my time here at Limeport even if every visit had some flaw. This time my drink glass had lipstick all over it, which the server thought was hilarious as well as embarrassing. I agree. The Smashburger is not a Smashburger at all. It's a decently flavored frozen puck that's been transformed into what ended up being a decent burger. You see, they know sauces well here as they're famous for all of their house made dressings and add-ons. The fries are homemade and come straight from the potato, but the oil is clearly old and the fries unfortunately were over overcooked. Well, this visit wasn't my favorite visit. I've really enjoyed my meals in the past. I will be back several times as I come through the town, but I'm not sure that it would be a destination restaurant for me. For those that live local, you're very blessed to have a solid restaurant available to you with filet mignon scallops and wonderful, house-made salads at your fingertips. Cheers!

    We recently had an absolutely horrible experience here. We made a reservation to celebrate a…read morebirthday for 4PM, which was confirmed by two separate hostesses earlier in the week. When we arrived, there wasn't a table for us to sit at, and we waited in the cramped hallway just past the front door for nearly a half hour without an explanation for the delay. When we were finally seated, they put us in a party room where a wedding reception was being held. Our table was stuffed up against the wall and so tight to the other party that you couldn't even pull your chair out. The table was not wiped off, and there was food all over the floor. After we sat we quickly noticed that the party having the wedding reception was BELIGERANTLY drunk and being so loud and obnoxious that it was impossible to hold a conversation with the person next to you. Members of the party were hovering over me, letting their ill-behaved children bump into my chair. It was incredibly irresponsible of the staff to continue serving this party alcohol, and on top of that to allow them to drive home with kids in their cars, all of which is a flagrant violation of liquor law. We asked to be moved to a different table and were told there were no other tables available. I had my food boxed up as soon as they brought it out (which took 90 minutes) because the noise was so nauseating. Our waitress was clearly not happy as well, and she was very short with us and neglectful of our table in general. The whole restaurant was in disarray, and every waitress had a nasty look on their face. Afterward we brought it up to management, who essentially shrugged their shoulders and didn't even offer an apology over the mix up. There was no attempt made to politely ask this party to calm down, none of the staff apologized to us for the situation, and no attempt was made to make it right by at least comping my meal which I couldn't even eat. Needless to say I will never go back here again and won't be recommending to anyone.
