Impressively good ceviche that was fresh, flavorful, and easily the highlight of the meal. The restaurant also has a pleasant ambiance that makes for a nice dining experience. Unfortunately, the service did not match the food, with long waits and little attention throughout the visit. The food was strong enough that I'd consider returning, but the overall experience would benefit greatly from more attentive and professional service.

The food was like "bouquets" of seafood, the way they plattered it. I've had amazing seafood, but the seafood dishes we had at Limón were extraordinary! The color pops in the food presentation were just as vibrant as the Peruvian culture itself. Some of those dishes were enough for two. The combo appetizer alone could've been a meal. Plus their cocktails - whoa! Can I call them healthy? Ahaaaha, well their mocktails certainly were. We had wonderful service by informative waiters. The feel is what I'd call elegant casual. All the decor on their walls and tiling around their bar area are beautiful! Limón in Burlingame is well-located in a corner with entrances on both facing streets. It's right behind a parking lot and directly across additional parking closer to the water. A good amount of indoor and outdoor seating is accessible. This area is hoppin'! Surrounded by local specialty shops, more restaurants, and bakeries - anyone living in the neighboring residential streets are mighty lucky! I am giddy over this dining experience!
