Wow my friends and walked from Mc Kinley Park to safeway and decided we hungry. There was the scent if delicious food in the air. We saw the all the people and decided to give it try. We were definitely pleased. Not just with the food, but the service too. We were able to be seated right away. The place is clean. The hostess was nice. Our server, Matt, was great and offered the right amount of attentiveness. We had the Saturday brunch/ lunch menu.

Although my personal experience of losses due to bad calls I can not will not mislead others about this café. They are all good spirited,make fair calls on any issues brought to attention,and get to know their patrons on a first name basis. All this leads up to a good experience every time regardless of ones win or loss in bets.

This place has went downhill and fast. I had a homeless man sit next to me and I think he may have died of fentanol overdose. He was asked to leave then dropped unconscious as soon as he stepped foot outside. Fire Department didn’t look successful at their efforts at resuscitation. Hope he made it

Always comfortable my recent visit to Limelight was relaxed and cozy. I always try to get the 2 orange velvet chairs in the dining room.

Phenomenal food! Even better after a few drinks. Don’t let the ‘bar’ in the name discourage you. Once you’re done with your meal try to win you tab back on a few hands on blackjack at their tables (or lose everything and be force to eat ramen for a month).

Terrible service and nasty food. The superior pancakes I ordered were disgusting, so I tried my friends breakfast burrito and the potatoes were burnt and the rest had no flavor. Sat for a half hour and had to get loud to get someone to actually help up. Don’t waste your time
