Food: The Chef clearly loves salt. Almost all the dishes on the menu had an extremely salty element; Caper, Soy, Anchovies, Truffle. I had Wild Mushroom soup and the selection of mushroom was great, very generous with a good flavour but it was on the salty side. The fries were very salty, it was hard to finish them. We had two types on our table, both were the same level of seasoning. Unfortunately the bottles of water they give you for the table are tiny, which would be fine if the service wasn't poor.
Service: I think it best to describe the service as strange. I couldn't say it was terrible, I think both staff members that we interacted with were trying to be friendly and pleasant, however they managed to make our table feel awkward and confused with every interaction. Trailing off sentences, lingering too long, finishing sentences in an open ended manor, and then straight back to hiding behind the bar and playing on their phones. No check backs or asking how the meal was. I had to get up for more water. It wasn't too bad, it's hard to describe but both team members lacked the social skills required for working FoH in a restaurant. An odd choice.
The Bill: Well seeing as the food was quite salty we didn't end up ordering more. Still, I was surprised that the bill was not overly expensive. The prices on the board seem high at first but once you receive the dish you see that the value is relatively fair.
Limetree was an experience. Not a bad one but not one I'd like to repeat.
