This place had a cool vibe, there was a DJ for dinner and it turns into a dancing bar at 11, requires you pay cover if you stay past 11 eating your dinner. Drinks were average as well as the service. Food was pretty good, a bit pricey tho.

Lima Twist on a Saturday Afternoon for a Drag Brunch (for a bridal shower). I honestly did not know what to expect and was somewhat dreading it because why are we going to a brunch for 3-hours? The entertainment was for sure off the chain and well, entertaining. Our party of 9 ordered just about everything on the brunch menu (i.e. empanadas, ceviche, salmon caesar salad, chicken caesar salad, french toast, Lima waffles, and lomo saltado) l, including the bottomless mimosas. The wait staff do say that food just comes out as soon as it's made and in no particular order. Our (appetizer) ceviche came out almost 2 hours after we ordered it. The food overall was ok, nothing special/memorable, with the only highlights being the ceviche and french toast. Depending on where they seat you, some spots, you really can't see much, so that's disappointing. Also- the men's bathroom lock broke (so the line to the bathroom was always long) and the women's bathroom was already dirty when they just opened, so, yea. Overall, if you've never been to a Drag Brunch, this one was not bad at all.

I went to Lima Twist for a Drag Brunch. The experience was amazing! Despite the event being super busy, the service was pretty good. The waiters were attentive and did a great job keeping up with so many people. The restaurant setting was perfect for the drag show. There were couches and comfortable chairs lined on the outside of the restaurant so the performers could perform in the middle of the aisle. There were several food items on the menu that were amazing but some were not good at all. The ceviche, chicken empanadas, and French toast were so good! The seafood in the ceviche was fresh and the citrus juice had the perfect tang. The empanadas were extremely flavorful and the chimichurri was the perfect topping. The french toast was so crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. However, the lomo saltato and the skirt steak salad were so flavorless and needed a lot of seasoning and spices. The drag show itself was so fun and entertaining. The music was deafening though! Bring earplugs!

I'm going to start with how amazing this secret gem is. I didn't know it was here and I believe it recently just opened. The outside looks like it's going to be popping when the weather breaks. After 9:00pm it turns into a club and I like that. Definitely want to go back for that. The restaurant opens at 5:00. I think they should do a brunch as well and a day party. It's very clean on both inside and outside. Now the service impeccable. I told our server that I wasn't drinking due to dry January and this guy ensured that all my drinks I wanted to order he could make and make them taste like it was liquor but not liquor. I was impressed because I don't like sugary mocktails. All the drinks were made perfectly. Even when I finished my drink and said I was done but my friend still had hers he brung me another one and said don't have my friend drinking alone. I love his attentiveness as well. I had a few problems with my food (we went for my friend bday and restaurant week) my appetizer I had asked for chicken empanadas instead of beef so they were beef. I had to wait a while for them to come back out and they were good. My Branzino had delicious flavors and you could taste the grill as well but my fish wasn't cooked all the way. I was because after they took it back to cook more it came out dry so I was mad. My veggies were spectacular. For the dessert I thought I was getting a strawberry cake and it definitely wasn't that. I know for next time. Overall I give them a 8.5/10. Definitely going back.
