Lime Leaf

OK

The fish cakes tasted like rubbery hot dogs, the

curries weren't even a little bit spicy--though the

flavors were good. I think the "fusion" aspect of

this restaurant (including several Italian menu

items) distracts from the Thai food focus . We were

disappointed, especially since Thai food rarely fails

to be spicy and delicious. Service was fine & atmosphere nice.

Good food that won't come to you

The food here is quite good -- especially their Tom Yum soup. The problem is that they have an incredibly outdated delivery area which covers most of the Upper West Side but doesn't actually serve the neighborhood where they reside. Very disappointing bias -- they should keep up with the times. They are missing out on a lot of hungry people with few dining choices around 110th and CPW/Frederick Douglass!

Not too bad

My boyfriend and I dined at Lime Leaf one night when we were looking to try something new. The restaurant ambience was serene and inviting, though our table was a bit small and the seating wasn't very comfortable. I had nowhere to put my purse and so it sat on my lap while we dined. We ordered the Shrimp & Chicken Steamed Dumplings with Sweet Soy Chilli Sauce to start and not only was the presentation impressive, but they were also pretty decent. While we waited for our main entrees, our waitress served some type of airy, light chips with a slightly spicy but tangy, sweet dipping sauce. I wasn't feeling too adventurous that night, so I tried to play it safe by ordering the lobster ravioli. Again, I was impressed by the presentation of the food, though it wasn't one of the best meals I've had, it wasn't terrible either. Because Thai portions are small, my dining partner and I had room for dessert and we ordered the Tiramisu and Banana ? (I cannot recall the name but it was spectacular). Yet again, the presentation was an A+. The prices were reasonable, the meal was okay, the dessert was great and the service was good. I wouldn't say I'd love to go back to Lime Leaf. If I were in the neighborhood, I'd probably try another restaurant. However if I were looking to just have dessert, I'd probably stop in and sample another interesting concoction.

• Pros: nice setting, great presentation, good service
• Cons: uncomfortable seating, awkward restroom location

AWFUL DELIVERY EXPERIENCE

Horrible! Placed an order off the menu. Waited for about an hour and called. They told me the order was on the way and to give them just a few minutes. I waited ten minutes. They eventually called me to tell me they did not make the food I ordered (was on the menu). This is One hour and twenty minutes after I placed the order on the phone. They said nothing then. Of course, I ordered from their menu, it was on the menu. So One hour and twenty minutes later I have no food and a lot of aggravation. Avoid this place.

Now it's Thai

This pretty darn good seafood restaurant has been operating as the Lime Leaf for a few years now. The fish is still fresh, the wine list moderate, and the service good. If it's crowded, though, the noise bounces off the hard surfaces of the walls.
