I had wanted to try this restaurant out for a few months and was glad when I finally got the opportunity. I’m all for supporting local businesses and very familiar with other restaurants owned by this brand so decided to give it a try. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. The ambience in its own is amazing, as I’m always looking for restaurants that allow me to eat in comfort and not deal with hearing a lot of noise or a loud band (not sure why some restaurants think that’s a great idea, especially when breaking bread over business deals and such.) My server, Ereka was AMAZING and highly recommend her as your server during your visit. She was attentive and helpful as well as very knowledgeable when I asked about recommendations of not only food but spirits as well. She had the bartender make me a custom drink that was delicious and I appreciated her going above and beyond. If you’re looking for a restaurant that is small enough to be comfortable and private, but serve you properly, I highly recommend you visit them today! And don’t forget to ask for Ereka as your server!
recently on a Monday and again…YES. We were looking for a chill vibe in a beautiful atmosphere and Limelight was it. I consider customer service an important part to the dining experience and it has to touch as soon as you walk in, Limelight checked it off the list. We were greeted and seated promptly. We found out it was a special day for wine so we had some sparking rose and a cocktail from the menu. Paired with the cocktails, we tried someCaesar salads and oysters.The service was impeccable and I was super impressed with the note our “table friend” Victor left us at the completion of our dining. I can’t wait to come back to enjoy the Spring 2024 menu!

We had a wonderful experience here. It's not cheap, but it is a great value. Everything was excellent!
I had the NY strip & it was cooked as ordered & excellent taste. Our server did an excellent job taking care of us. Ambiance is excellent! Only drawback is parking that is virtually non existent. I will be going back.

Cozy venue. Complementary valet parking only. Approximately 8 seats at the bar where you can order dinner and knowledgeable bartenders.Crispy brussels sprouts was too heavy on the thick sauce and too small chopped pieces and it was not crunchy taste this a 3 of 10 - it gets a 3 for flavor. However the crispy pork belly skewers are fantastic 10 out of 10. The Resort cocktail was terrific.

Our server was kind and accommodating. I gave three stars for service because of the very aloof mannerisms we were given with starter and entrée service by one other individual. I thought it was me, but we simultaneously mentioned it afterwards.Parking: The parking lot was full that evening. Additional parking is across the street. The gentleman at the door allowed us to park by the dumpsters, as it was 9F that evening. The website does mention valet parking, but it was not available that evening.

Nice restaurant. Parking is awful. Valet drives your car like they are on a race track, brings your car back and gives you the wrong keys. They park your car a block away even if there are parking spaces available. I ordered sword fish. It was flavorless. I didnt eat it. The service was slow. Their drinks were good.
Food was good. Only enough for one serving. Not any left to take home. The server was very unexperienced and really unacceptable. Or just not to the standard we are use to. Trying to compare to Folks Folly......and just really can not. Restaurant was just not to the standard we were hoping. :(

Best restaurant in Germantown. Owners invested quite a bit to create incredible atmosphere. Food is always good. If you don’t have reservations, go to the restaurant before 6pm and sit at the community table.

BEWARE of the scallops here. We came in town and took family to Limelight since I had heard a good review. My family member was rushed to the ER with a bad food poisoning from the scallops and was in the Germantown Methodist for 30 hours. The manager was emailed and had little reaction. I will NEVER return.

One of my favorite restaurants in the Memphis area. Food is always fantastic. Service is great as well. I only have one small critique... the past 2 times I have been, someone in my party has received their food and it was not hot when it should have been. The last time, it was the NY strip, it was delicious but room temp was the warmest part of it. Almost as if that dish was ready first and then they finished the other dishes as everyone else's was hot. That's the one tiny thing I think could be better but this place is still outstanding! (Pics are from a previous visit, stunning presentation)

My husband surprised me with a birthday dinner here. From the moment the valet opened my car door upon arrival the level of service was fantastic.Now on to the food. The 3 of us wanted to try as much of the menu as possible because it all sounded so tasty so we ordered a variety of dishes to share. The steak tartare, pork belly skewers and the crab and artichoke dip were our favorites. But everything we ordered was delicious. We also got the market salad, and the pappardelle pasta with duck ragu. Next time I’ll get the large market salad as we fought over the last bite.Cocktails were very tasty and it appears they change their cocktail and food menu seasonally so I’m looking forward to see what comes next.So glad to have such a tasty spot close to home.
