My fiancé and I were so excited to try Limon for a special pre-Thanksgiving/9-year anniversary lunch.
The dining room ambiance was great, and we couldn't stop raving about the food. The Cucumber Margarita was refreshing, and the appetizers specifically the Oysters with Taro Chips were phenomenal. Our entrees, the Truffle Mac n Cheese, Yuca Fries, and Durado De Marisco, were all top-tier; seriously, the kitchen staff here deserves five stars.
We were equally impressed with the hustle and excellent etiquette of the bus boy, who delivered our dishes with grace and speed. He was the highlight of the service!
However, our server, Niuosha, was unfortunately the opposite. She seemed far more interested in chatting with the female bartender than attending to our table. The real issue, and the reason for the two-star review, came after we paid.
Upon reviewing the itemized receipt, I noticed I was charged $22 for my cucumber margarita. I quickly realized I had been up charged for Don Julio when I ordered the Cucumber Margarita $15.
When I flagged the discrepancy to Niuosha, her response was shocking, she insisted that the premium Don Julio was "a better deal" than the tequila silver. This is clearly false, as the receipt shows a definite price increase.
I feel scammed and intentionally charged for a premium liquor I neither requested nor authorized. It's a horrible feeling to have a celebratory moment ended with such a dishonest interaction.
The food is absolutely deserving of a trip, but management seriously needs to look into the deceptive practices the server (Niuosha) regarding drink orders and pricing. I recommend the kitchen, but be extremely careful about what the servers are charging.
We are hoping management will look into this and reach out to make it right.
