I had reservations at 330p. We stood outside in a line for an hour. Brunch was supposed to be included, while in line we were told “no more food left”. Per promotion, event was 90 min. We barely got an hour before being told to leave for the day party. Worst experience EVER, I’ll never go back.

We visited this restaurant mainly because i wanted some branzino. First impression of the restaurant was good, the decor was decent and the service was great. The women’s bathroom however is really tiny with only 2/3 stalls and one sink! There were 3 women in the bathroom when I went to use it and it felt so cramped. I like the fact that there was a live dj and hookah offerings. Overall, we enjoyed our time. Wished we could have stayed longer than an hour, but we had a show to catch.

I came with a friend for a Brunch Experience hosted by Boozy Bounce. Overall the vibe was nice, the DJs were great, however, the event was advertised as an unlimited brunch experience, but only a limited menu was offered, the food took awhile to arrive, and I would have expected more food for the amount I paid. Overall I give the experience a C+ or B-.

Impromptu dinner for a large group of work colleagues. The restaurant accommodated all of our party well, service was friendly and welcoming, food was surprisingly good, drinks options were plentiful and the atmosphere was good for a work gathering

If you have a party of 6-10, perhaps allow them to stay throughout the night. Seek a deposit if needed but we wanted to stay and after spending over $700 just in drinks, food and hookah, we wanted to stay and some wanted more food but we were left standing and just decided to leave. The music during the during was terrible. At least play the top hits or R&B. Management needs to consider larger parties who want to be there longer and are willing to spend more. When it first opened it was more accommodating.

I was very upset with my experience at Lima Twist. It was my first time going to this place, and it was my mom's 50th birthday celebration. We had horrible service. Our appetizer came out after the main course. We asked for refills on water and never received it the entire time we sat for about an hour and a half. Our waitress came to our table maybe three times all together. I want to say thank you to the additional waitress that helped pick up our original waitress's slack & came to the table to make sure we were good. It was not an enjoyable experience. The music was awful. And the food was average. If you want to celebrate a casual occasion, go here but do not celebrate momentous occasions here. It will not measure up.

FAQs

Lima Twist pairs sophisticated, LED-lit décor with a lively lounge vibe, DJs, hookah, drag brunches and runway-style seating all feature in guest accounts, and the space shifts from a relaxed dinner setting into a dance-forward nightlife spot later in the evening.

At Lima Twist the dress code is Business Casual, aim for neat, polished attire rather than formalwear.

Yes, Lima Twist's vibrant, stylish atmosphere and several guests recommending it for special occasions make it a strong choice for an evening out.

Yes, Lima Twist has a patio: guests report sitting outside there after shows and during events like drag brunch.

Saturdays are ideal for the drag brunch experience, while Thursday nights and Friday evenings are great choices for a lively, enjoyable night out.

Guests specifically praise the Lima sliders as a perfect size, a helpful note if you're ordering small plates or apps.

For a relaxed dinner, go earlier in the evening before it transitions into a club around 11:00 pm; for a lively late‑night scene, visit after 11 pm on weekend nights, and Saturday drag‑brunch afternoons are a popular, fun option.

Lima Twist mixes a dining room with a lively bar/lounge area (bottle service and DJ), plus an outdoor patio and runway‑style seating areas where many guests enjoy hookah.
