In this hyper-designed environment adorned with exotic hardwoods, mosaic tile, glass brick, supple leather banquettes and glass garage doors that open onto patios, owner Chris Hyndman does to Hispanic food what he does to Asian food at his nearby Virago: houses it in an architectural showplace and makes it the focus of a creative fine-dining menu.

Lime offers great, interesting drinks with house-made mixers, an inventive pan-Latin menu, and a cool, sophisticated vibe. Despite appearing something of a hipster hangout, I've enjoyed every meal I've had here, and I'm not a hipster by any means. The food and service are terrific. If you come here looking for cheese-slathered Tex Mex, then this isn't the place for you. If you want contemporary, fresh, light Latin-inspired cuisine, then Lime will fit the bill.

It's a lot easier getting a table at Lime these days now that Whiskey Kitchen has opened! I was there on e a recent Friday night at 8 for dinner and there were empty tables the whole hour I was there. The atmosphere is still great, interesting-looking people coming and going (lots of pretty young women) and the service is friendly and attentive - we did not have to wait long after ordering for our drinks or food. Margaritas by the pitcher were a featured special that night, and the best pitcher of Margaritas I've ever had, in a particularly unusual pitcher - very sophisticated. Our appetizer - Coco Chili Shrimp - and our dessert - the flan - were great, I highly recommend them. But our dinner was disappointing. We shared a rib eye that was the featured special that night and not only was our dinner cold when it arrived at the table, but the meat was rather sinewy, not the kind of quality you'd expect from a restaurant. We could have done better at home. We may try again, because they have such creative dishes, in hopes that execution will be improved. Great atmosphere and service aren't enough to tolerate disappointing $20-something entrees.
The owners of Virago bring you a sassy latin inspired lounge. The atmosphere is a Miami wanna-be hang out. The food is one of the worst on the city and way over priced. If you're gonna go, go on a full stomache.
