Lime. Interesting name for a restaurant. It gives a sour and refreshing touch to the restaurant. It was a family gathering. We had a great deal. It was fun to try a new restaurant together. Buffet is always great for gatherings. Everyone get to pick what they want and eat what amount they like. Of course, if you eat little, it seem like a waste but you get to try all different variety. So I always love to choose buffet for gatherings. I like the ambience and the food! Great variety for a buffet spread.
Ambience
It is filled with dim lights. You can choose to sit at the buffet tables, relax at the sofa or by the bar. Their kitchen is an open concept and are line up just by the dishes. It make you feel like your food is freshly cooked from the kitchen. Amazingly you won't feel you are covered in the smoke despite it is an open kitchen. It feels really good to see the chefs in action.
Service
I think they need to brush up greatly on their service. Firstly, when we arrive at the entrance, there were no service staff waiting to receive customers. This is kind of strange as it is really common to have staff waiting for welcome guest especially for hotel restaurant. This is really a basic requirement. They have many food stations E.g. cooking pasta, cutting roast meat. I think they have too many for them to handle. Hence, there are times I was plain standing there waiting for their staff to serve the dish. The most funny was the oysters station. There were only unopened oysters and there were no staff. We were confused whether we are suppose to open ourselves. Quite a while later, then the staff came. Despite she saw us holding on the unopened oysters, she also did not mention that they suppose to open for us.
Food
Their Buffet spread were filled with a great variety of food. They also have a nonya theme. They also have the usual spread..bread..cheese..salad..sashimi...oysters...fruits..desserts....
Pasta. Colorful Pasta. So pleasing to the eyes. Beautiful. We ordered the black ink pasta. It may look scary to some but it doesn't taste much difference as compared to the usual pasta.
Fresh seafood..forever the major highlight in a buffet...They have Oysters..Prawns..sashimi..yummy. They were very fresh.
Dessert Time! They have great variety..Nonya Kueh...Icecream...I even made my own pulut hitam topped with ice cream. They have variety of cakes too...fondue...etc...
