Limón

"My family, including my wife, son, and sister, and I had the opportunity to dine at your restaurant on Thursday, March 7th, 2024, with a reservation set for 8:15 pm. Having just arrived from a flight from Portland, we encountered a slight delay but proactively adjusted our reservation to 8:30 pm to accommodate this. Despite our efforts to communicate and adjust our arrival time, beginning at 8:00 pm, we received multiple calls from the restaurant's staff—three calls, to be exact. These calls inquired about our certainty in honoring our reservation, and the tone felt notably pressing and somewhat aggressive, which was a surprising and unwelcoming prelude to our visit. Upon our arrival, we found the dining experience to be passable. We understood and complied with the restaurant's request to expedite our orders due to the impending last call, which seemed reasonable under the circumstances. However, our dining experience was overshadowed by observations that we found to be less than professional. Notably, several members of the restaurant staff were congregated at the bar, engaged in loud laughter and openly counting their tips. This behavior, in our view, detracted significantly from the ambiance and professionalism expected at a dining establishment of your repute. Furthermore, as the evening progressed towards closing time, the situation regrettably deteriorated. Two of your servers approached our table with a demeanor that was far from welcoming. Their communication about the restaurant closing and the implication that we should leave was delivered in a manner we felt was unnecessarily brusque. One server, in particular, exhibited a demeanor that was not only unprofessional but outright rude, going so far as to give what could only be described as a 'stink eye.' It is with disappointment that we reflect on this experience. Dining out, especially in a new city, should be an enjoyable and welcoming experience, a chance to unwind and savor good food in good company. Unfortunately, the interactions and atmosphere we encountered during our visit fell short of these expectations. As such, we are compelled to share our experience and express our decision to not patronize this location in the future. We hope this feedback is received as an opportunity for improvement, to ensure future patrons do not share our unfortunate experience."

"Overall food was not satisfactory! Service was decent, but I can’t recommend cuz nothing here tasted good. Cauliflower wasn’t cooked. Chicharron Del Pollo was dry and disgusting. Empanadas were nothing to write home about. Not sure why all the good reviews?"

"Just out bumpin around with my pals York Town and Sarah Toga, we're over at the Alameda Naval Base looking at things that used to be, and overheard two guys arguing about who puts out the best Rotisserie chicken. Guy number 1 said it's from a Rotisserie chicken truck in SF and guy number 2 said it's from the restaurant Limon in Oakland, then he punched him in the gut. Guy number 1 got up and said I guess you're right. With a recommendation like that, I had to go. The rotisserie chicken was spectacular! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆"

"Overall food was amazingly tasty, specially I got hooked on spicy ceviche, specially being finicky about ceviche. Atmosphere and staff service adds more value to the delicious food. Prices can be in higher side but worth it"

"Really nice place with good atmosphere and great food/drinks. Service was great and food came out pretty quick. Parking can be difficult but not impossible"
